Judy’s POV
The manor was gorgeous; it was everything the magazines had said it was. It was in a secluded part of the Silver Crescent pack, so I never had the privilege of actually seeing it. In the beginning of the small forest, there was a pearl gate that led up the driveway and it was guarded by a couple of Gamma officers. Nobody was allowed to pass except for those with invitations and of course Gavin.
The guards recognized him right away and opened the gates; he nodded at them as he drove past them and up the 3-mile-long driveway, which was a large foresty area. once we neared the actual manor, my jaw dropped. It was huge; probably as big as the mansion and sat right on the edge of the ocean, looking out into the horizon. The clearing passed the forest was large and the driveway curved at the top, circling around a large fountain, a stone carving of a wolf looked back at me.
I recognized the wolf was one of the first Lycans to walk our planet and the fact that Donna Landry had a statue of him in the middle of her driveway, piqued my interest, to say the least.
Gavin parked the car in one of the designated areas before he turned off the engine.
“Are you ready?” He asked, looking over at me. I must have looked as though I’d seen a ghost to him because he narrowed his eyes, and I could see a slight hint of worry in his gaze.
After a beat of silence, I finally nodded.
“Yeah,” I said softly. “I’m ready.”
He nodded and opened the door; before I could open mine, he ran around to the passenger door and opened it for me. He held out his hand for me to take.
“You didn’t have to do that,” I told him, taking his hand. I stepped out of the car and stood in front of him, suddenly very aware of how close he was to me.
“We need to keep up appearances,” he told me, his eyes shifting over to the door. I followed his gaze and noticed a tall and lanky man standing in the doorway. I raised my brows and glanced at Gavin, wondering who that was. “My mother’s butler.”
I nodded; of course she had a butler. I wasn’t surprised by that fact.
“Okay,” I said, letting him take a hold of my arm and guide me towards the door. In comparison to Gavin, I looked tiny. He was not only tall, but he was built like a god; he had these broad shoulders and muscled arms. Though I was strong and had my own muscles, they were packed in a small petite form that looked as if I couldn’t throw a punch to save my life. I might have been a small package, but I was anything but weak. But in comparison to Gavin, I looked small. I could only imagine what the butler was thinking when he looked at me, but it was clear he was sizing me up.
“Right this way,” Doug said, closing the front door and stepping around us. “Your mother is in the parlor. Dinner will be ready shortly.”
Gavin nodded and took my hand, keeping me by his side as we followed Doug through the manor; it was gorgeous with elegant decorations and portraits all along the walls. They were portraits of past Alphas and portraits of men that kind of looked like Gavin. I assumed they were his family members; maybe father, grandfather, and the brother that was abroad with his family.
I knew Gavin had a sister as well, but I didn’t see any portraits of her, which I found strange.
There were a ton of pictures of Gavin though and it warmed my heart knowing he was loved by his mother, even if she couldn’t stand me.
As stepped into the parlor, Gavin’s hold on me tightened even more, like he was afraid I was going to run away at any moment. I thought the idea was funny, but when I looked up at him, I saw that his jaw was tense.
He was worried about something; I wondered what it was.

The readers' comments on the novel: Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law
Anyone have suggestions for other books like this that are captivating for me to read while I wait for more chapters etc?...
Despite everyone's frustrations with this book, I think it's quite entertaining. I think Gavin and Judy have a long road ahead of them. If/when they're able to finally get on the same page, they still have to deal with his mom. Not to mention Judy has to reconcile with Matthew after abandoning him when she promised she wouldn't; and face Irene with the news that she's carrying a new sibling. Lol, Levi is the least of their concerns. Then there's having the baby. Pretty sure Gavin has untreated trauma associated with Irene's birth. My thoughts are, just be patient, find other books to read in between and enjoy the ride. I think it'll be good....
Anyone Know where we Can Read all of this book 2 chapters a day is a joke And waiting is killing me I’ll just want to end this book !!...
I never really read these books, but came across this one and annoyingly got hooked. Do these books just go on forever with no resolution? As if so, I’m going to call it a day and write my own ending lol...
Lovely… I just found this book Friday and I’ve finished all that here. How often do they release more and how much at a time?! I’m invested....
So Spencer was “in love” before he even meet her? I used to wake up and read this book but now I let days go past before I read the chapters...
Well heres to the next 300 pages of this never ending story because now Gavin is going to have to save her before Spencer does something even more stupid because Judy is to weak to do anything for herself apparently....
3 chapters we didn't need. Already guessed Spencer was working with Levi and that the attacks were also Levi...
I think of all the things that bother me the most about the rushed writing is the inconsistencies. Judy and Nans room number was initially 606 when they checked in at the island resort for the Gamma Competition, but then was suddemly 906 - which turned out to be needed information later. When they first met, Judy went to Gavin's office the next day and told him about her father's imprisonment and her need for money, but then later the author made it sound like Gavin had no idea. She won 5 million for takimg first in the competition but then it was eluded to her not have much money and needed cash from the additional tutoring job with Lukas and the position in Levi's elite force. Honestly, the wishy-washy writing makes it feel like Gavin is less of a strong leader and more like he has so much personal drama he cant keep anything straight. It feels like Judy is weaker than the author has intended, as well. I feel like Rachel's return could have been tightened up with more details around her time Gavin instead of making Judy out to be a bit pathetic and desperate for just a sliver of Gavins attention. Her pregnancy was also disappointing because of the rushed plot, the author seemed to have forgotten that Judy gave her virginity to Gavin and no other sexual partners were introduced for her - so who the father of her baby was shouldn't have felt like such a surprise - it felt a bit insulting to her vibe and the character build throughout the hundreds of unnecessary chapters. I believe if the author spent a little more time and cleaned up some of the events with pertinent and necessary details and remove the oddities of over-the-top pieces (like the shower gel and cologne that appeared out of nowhere for Gavin in Judy's condo) this storyline could really be something great and intriguing for readers....
