Okay, so I have very mixed feelings about this book. At first, the main heroine was annoying, but she evolved, and I grew to like her. This was a painful, slow burn, and thanks to the solo POV, I struggled to understand Henry’s feelings and intentions. About halfway through, things got much better, and now I am addicted. Thanks to the cliffhanger, I am now onto the second book.

💛 Tempt Me 💛 (Book 1 of the Wolf Hotel series) by K.A. Tucker 

5/5 ⭐️ 

4/5 🌶️ 

💛 I don’t know what was put in this book - but I was an addict. I had it 90% read in one day. 😅 I’m telling you - the angst of this book - the 🌶️ slow burn is such a tease - the 🔥 between these MCs - OH EM GEE. 

💛 The FMC comes from a religious background and is very much a prude - but when her boyfriend seemingly thinks that he needs to sow his wild oats while she waits around for him like the good Christian girl she is - she decides against it and takes a chance. A chance that leads her straight to Alaska to one hot lumberjack looking billionaire and CEO. 

💛 Henry is 🥵 like - the mouth on that man could make you weak. He’s firm - to the point - and playing with 🔥. He’s supposed to be on his best behavior but then he decides “f it”. This man takes you on a wild ride of emotions. One minute he’s hot as lava and the next he’s an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean. The hot and cold will give you whiplash. 

💛 Normally I don’t like one POV - because I don’t feel as though I get as invested as I would if I read dual POV - but that was not the case with this book. I was ecstatic and excited and just couldn’t stop reading! 

💛 Also - the cliffy .. AYKM …

A pretty decent "spicy" read. The writing was good and it kept me interested until the end (that ending tho!! I was NOT expecting that). 
(Minor spoliers ahead but not really?)

Abbi was a little annoying at times and Henry is shady asf and becomes unlikable pretty fast.

Check trigger warnings because although their relationship was a slow burn, it got VERY spicy quickly. And some of them were borderline s**xual assault.

This is a story of a wealthy man who gaslights a naive young woman and lures her with the promise of a job she wants at a remote Alaskan hotel. Instead his aim all along was to make her his personal assistant/sex slave. It's human trafficking and he admits he selected her because of her low self-esteem and abuse by a previous partner. He's disgusting... but he's hot and she's too stupid to pay attention to all the red flags. She readily gives up every moral she's held for a lifetime. 

This is pure Jeffrey Epstein fan fiction and its gross. The cliffhanger ending just adds insult to injury.

I would not have read this had I known the book is 4 parts LOL that being said, going in blind to the book, the writing was really engaging and I zoomed through this book without any issues.
