Loretta Bishop hasn't had a good life. Falling in love with someone who didn't return her love, only landed her pregnant. Putting the baby up for adoption, she earned her living working as a whore; a benefit that taught her how to please a man sexually. She was not afraid of any sexual inhibitors. Bobby's wife, Mary, left him, for his boss, leaving his ego a bit deflated. His good friend, Gary, enlist his girlfriend, Loretta, to teach Bobby some moves he can put to good use. Bobby finds Loretta nice-looking, even though she is a number of years older. He is surprised when she offers her services of lovemaking to him to help get over his hurt. She certainly is good at her trade. Loretta finds Bobby quite handsome and can't believe any wife would leave him. Everything is great until Bobby learns about her past. He cannot believe she is nothing but a common whore, sleeping with men, and women. Hurt by Bobby's choice of words, Loretta stops the car, leaving him stranded on the Maryland Parkway. When Bobby is able to catch a ride, the young lady is more than willing to allow Bobby to show her a good time. Loretta can't forget Bobby. No matter how much Gary cares for her, she loves Bobby. When Mary returns to Bobby, pleading to come home, he can't release his thoughts on Loretta. He must make a crucial choice about his career and the women in his life, especially when secrets are unraveled.
I am always amazed every time I read a book by Dee Dawning. Just when you think the next one can't get any better, he pens a read that out tops the last. Love and Seduction in Las Vegas is more than just frolicking between the sheets. It is a story of understanding, love, and learning to accept the other, no matter what their past. The character of Loretta is convincing because there are many women caught up in the same dilemma with no where to turn. Sometimes turning to another is the only way they can find the true meaning of love and self. Yet they often pay the price by getting a bad rap. I thought it was commendable the way she shows her vulnerable side. I can understand how Bobby could react when he found out about her past. He had just been jilted by one woman, and deep down, he, too, still has a human side. The stories are believable. The sex is hotter than any sizzling skillet sitting on a hot stove. This read really leaves an impression.

Bobbie, Gary, and Vinnie could all be considered heroes in this twisted tale. All of them certainly play major roles in Loretta's life.
Loretta is a beautiful woman who puts a new meaning to the phrase, ridden hard and put away wet.
This is an intriguing winding tale of one woman, her challenged life, and the men who affected it in such a stupendous way.
You know it's kind of funny with your books Dee, they appear so light hearted on the outside, but inside they hit some really significant issues. This book was extremely complex, but you pulled off a lovely story through a myriad of complexity. I was impressed! In some ways this story was all sex, yet in other ways it was complete desolation. I totally enjoyed the happy ever after, which is one of those things that make me tick, but the twists and turns it took to get there were phenomenal. Very creative and very intriguing, I completely enjoyed it.

Loretta Bishop isn't surprised to be asked by her sometime lover Gary to help out his friend Bobby, a very young man whose marriage is on the rocks after his young wife ran off with a casino manager. Mary had a repressive and ugly childhood, and is prone to emotional swings. Bobby cares for her but blames his own shortcomings as the reason for his failure to win her over sexually. Loretta's task is to teach Bobby everything she herself knows (which is voluminous) about pleasing women, seduction, lust, romance, and sexuality. As the older woman by seventeen years, Loretta is a role model of several types. Much to her surprise, Bobby falls for her hard and proposes, and since she's begun to suspect they might be closer than she'd first thought, she runs. But fate brings them around again, with gratifying and surprising results.
LOVE AND SEDUCTION IN LAS VEGAS proved to be a surprisingly complex story with a fairly tight plot and some decent character development wrapped around a highly erotic story line. Probably not for the sensitive-the plot deals with certain taboo issues-nonetheless readers will find the novel steamy, scintillating, and quite realistic. The characters of Ell (Loretta) and Bobby are especially lively and developing individuals. Some empathy is elicited for Ell, who like many others has had a difficult life, but she is so strong-minded and independent that readers will be more inclined to simply stand back and applaud her. Even when she's probably not on the right track, she is determined, and she doesn't have a hateful bone in her body. Bobby is notable for his journey from uncertain, somewhat repressed, college student to a confident adult and entrepreneur, who has developed emotional as well as sexual maturity. The background cast (Bobby's ex Mary, Loretta's on-again, off-again Gary, Loretta's way-back-when ex,) and many others make up a lively cast against which the main story line plays out and Bobby and Loretta show their characters.
