  I think Stendahl's The Red and the Black fills the bill.

  Both 'Pamela' and 'Clarissa' by Samuel Richardson should fill the bill. Both are epistolary novels and thus contain firsthand accounts from the seducee's point of view. 'Clarissa' is by far the better book, in my opinion, but be warned! it's one of the longest novels ever written in the English language (seven volumes!). The Literary Encyclopedia has a good article on 'Clarissa': www.litencyc.com/php/sworks.php
  
  Both books are available for download (free) at Gutenberg.org: www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/r#a1959

    I'd have to say Lasher by Rice, though it's probably not in the genre you were looking for.

      Thanks!
      I don't think I could stomach Clarissa.
      The Red and the Black it is.
      Fitting. I'm just finishing Orhan Pamuk's My Name is Red.

  maybe a weird (or obvious) choice, but .... "Lolita" comes to mind
