Tempting Me: A Bad Boy Romance
Publisher Description
Aria:
The only thing I need is him...
It was the night before my wedding. Maybe I cursed it by visiting my fiance. I didn't expect him to cheat on me with my best friend.
That night I ended up going to the strip club. The same one I went for my bachelorette party. That guy told me to come back if it didn't work out. I laughed at the thought. Well, it came true, because it didn't. What was I to do next?
Ryan:
I want her, but I know I can't...
I had my eye on her the whole night at the club. Usually, I can control myself. But not that night.
She came from a rich family. I came from the trailer. She was educated. I wish I was. There was no way it would work. But maybe if things changed, they could?
This is a full length bad boy romance novel. It is book 1 of the City Bad Boys series. It has NO cheating, NO cliffhanger, and a happily ever after.
Customer Reviews
...hard to describe (in a bad way)
Every time the authors manage actual relationship development, they undermine it paragraphs later with implications and insinuations that the male love interest is only acting out of a desire to get the woman into bed. The details of the story are inconsistent and sometimes contradictory (one character’s parents apparently died both ten months and ten days before he found out - this detail is again only two/three paragraphs apart) and there is no overall arc in the plot or character development. This doesn’t feel like a story - while there is a plot, and things do happen, nothing the two main characters do/say to each other changes the way they interact or think of each other. Ever. The initial conflict in the story is never returned to and works only as a mechanism to force the two main characters together again- the actual main character is never allowed to actually confront those who did her wrong (she is still getting calls from her ex halfway through the story and ultimately does nothing to stop them or face her ex again - her best friend just fades into nothingness after the original conflict. Even the “happy ending” is undermined by disappointment only lines from the end : the best I can summarise this story is as a botched love story between two people who don’t entirely get each other and aren’t well-matched by the end of the book. This just isn’t well-written - it could be? If the authors had the benefit of a good editor and a couple years to work on it, but unfortunately they published it in this condition, and we are stuck with ... this.
