Ah, yes. Triss cares about Geralt, obviously. Enough to use a little bit of 'magic' in order to help him make up his mind to be with her. It doesn't explicitly say if the magic she used was a form of mind control (A sorceress version of Axii, perhaps?) or if she used it to make her more desirable in his eyes, but I'm guessing it's the former. Or maybe she cares about him enough to take advantage of his amnesia knowing full well he had other, more important things to do than be her lover.

Yennefer may not be the perfect woman, but Triss is no angel either.

Is that in the games or in the books? Because if it's in the books I don't care.

If I remember correctly, it's implied in the first game that Triss uses some minor magic to influence Geralt after she realizes he has amnesia, because she's been attracted to him for a while, and realized that she had a chance to maybe hook up with him now that Yennefer was essentially out of the picture. Which a lot of people might understandably be kind of skeeved out by.

On the other hand, Geralt also goes out of his way through all of the games to not be bothered by it at all, and clearly continues to be fond of Triss (either romantically or platonically) even after he's aware that she took advantage of him, so it's harder to see it as a total deal-breaker.

Then again, the entirety of Yennefer and Geralt's relationship is built on the magical manipulation of a genie's wish magic (which is addressed in Yennefer's relationship quest in Witcher 3), so it seems like most of Geralt's potential love life is rooted in being magically influenced anyway.

And that's not even getting into the fact that, if you play Geralt as a "fuck anything that moves" sort of character through the various games, he's pretty skeevy in his own right. "Oh, I have to track down Yennefer, my long-time love who I am pining for, and together we have to save our adopted daughter, but I just bumped into Keira Metz so I'm going to stop and take a break so we can bone." "Oh, I've completed the main game and finally united with my one true love (whether it be Yennefer or Triss) and we'll be together forev- oh, hey there Shani. Long time no see. Wanna fuck?" "Oh hey there random prostitute. Here's some coins, here's some coins, now let me sheathe my silver sword in your scabbard."
