 Quickie Review (May Contain Spoilers)

Tempted by the Devil was such a BLAST of a book. Man now this is what I love this author for. Sometimes she can be a hit or miss...BUT when she hits it really packs a punch and I can definitely say that was the case with "Tempted by the Devil" This is a setup where our heroine is being abused and the hero comes in on his dark white horse and being a bit of a protector. He arranges a marriage with her abusive step brother and thus begins a deep and tender marriage between them. I adored how protective he is of her and so careful of her heart. He can be a really hard man, but he is just right with her, not pushing her too hard especially with all the abuse that she has suffered and giving her a place of peace and love which she hasn't ever had. The crime aspects is a bit brutal in this one, fair warning, but the actual romance is tender hearted and poignant in so many ways. Definitely a book to be a keeper for any shelf.

If you are a fan of mafia romance, then I can't recommend Michelle Heard enough!
