Seduced by Moonlight begins shortly after the events of A Caress of Twilight. Kurag, Goblin King, is insisting upon proof that Kitto has become sidhe following sex with Merry. She offers an extra month of their alliance for every goblin hybrid she can bring into sidhe magic. During the discussions, Siun, Kitto's nightmarish, spidery former mistress and Rhys’ worst memory of his experience at the Goblin court appears. It is revealed that Rhys swore blood price on her, because it was Siun that took his eye. In his fear, Kitto accidentally and reflexively uses the Hand of Reaching to open a portal through the mirror. Siun falls through and is trapped half-way, after some negotiation, Kurag allows the Ravens to do what they like. Kitto viciously wounds her and Rhys kills her with a word. It is revealed that Meredith is a vessel for the Goddess Danu when she inadvertently brings the pregnant Maeve Reed back into her god-head, and gives Frost newfound god status which he is not comfortable with. The cup or cauldron also reappears after Merry has a dream about it, an effect that has significant impact upon the sidhe who believed it lost forever.

During sex with Merry many of her lovers experience unexpected side-effects:
• Rhys is brought back into his god-head,
• Frost is brought into his god-head,
• Sage is turned into a full-sized sidhe,
• Nicca is possessed by Dian Cecht,
• Doyle regains his shape-shifting abilities turning into a dog and a horse, plus ones he never had previously.

By the end of the book it is discovered that a spell was used to incite the Queen to murder. The plot was hatched by those amongst the court who feared that a mortal Queen, Merry, would result in the sidhe ceasing to exist. ( )

 Another great 1 from Hamilton. This is part of the Meredith Gentry series. Great book about the faerie princess and the unseelie & seelie courts. Lots of intrigue, magic & sex. ( )

I have to be honest - I was all ready to not like this book. The sex is getting outrageous and unbelievable and Hamilton has taken beyond ridiculous. That being said, the end of this book got me. My favorite part of the first book in the series was when they were in the fairie mound, and taking Merry back there and letting the reader see more of what they had lost and Merry is able to bring back is intriguing to me. I also loved how the book ended. I hate to say it, but sticking with the series because of that scene alone. ( )

LOTS of sex. I read a bunch of these in a row, but I think this one and Mistral's Kiss were the ones that were mostly sex with very little plot.

If I'm not mistaken, this was the volume where the sex started bring power back to the bodyguards. The fantasy elements are the real reason I read this series, so it actually was pretty entertaining to read all the different powers each of the men had back. Each one was different too, which I also thought was interesting. It's easy to pass these off as a lot of sex (which they certainly are), but the fantasy elements are extremely well done when they appear. Doyle is always my favorite, and his magical abilities or whatever made me like him a little more. ( )

Seduced by Moonlight

Template:Merry Gentry

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 034544356X, Hardcover)

The third novel in Laurell K. Hamilton's Meredith Gentry series, Seduced by Moonlight continues the story of Merry Gentry, a mortal Faerie princess hiding in L.A. Her aunt, the immortal and insane Queen of Air and Darkness, has ordered her to compete with her cousin, Prince Cel, in making a baby. Whoever produces a child first wins the throne of the Unseelie Court. But Merry still hasn't conceived--and that's not her only problem. Unknown assassins seek her life; her magical powers are becoming potent and uncontrollable; and her sadistic aunt has just commanded her to return to Faerie.

Readers tired of mild modern fairy-tales about nice, polite elves may want to explore the Meredith Gentry series, which remembers that Faerie was originally a dark, dangerous realm of sex and violence. Hamilton's Queen of Air and Darkness is a vicious killer and torturer, and many of her fay drink blood or practice kinky sex (or both). Under royal orders to bed many males, Merry is far from averse; she and several lovers hit the bedroom on page 8 of Seduced by Moonlight and don't emerge until page 175. There's no shortage of sex, but not as much as the page count may indicate; the characters like to talk and sulk even more than they like to fornicate. The large cast and complicated backstory make this book the wrong starting point; newcomers should begin with the first novel, A Kiss of Shadows. --Cynthia Ward
