This is being re-released first but IMHO it should be read after "Forbidden Games", the set of 2 stories in Katee Robert's "Make Me" series which include the first two friends to hook up. These two stories are not as strong as the previous ones, though I suppose they are more standalone than those in Forbidden Games.
In illicit Temptations, the first story includes Aaron, a successful businessman, who meets Becka, the "free spirt" friend and relation of the characters in the stories in "Forbidden Games". They have a one night stand and Becka gets pregnant. She tries to do it all herself but Aaron gets involved. The entire story is him trying to convince Becka that they should be together. I enjoyed the story, but I didn't really feel like Aaron having to tiptoe around Becka the entire time was a very compelling story. Oh, and meanwhil they had sex everywhere at any time.
The second story is Aaron's sister who needs a job, so Aaron offers her the role of assistant in his business. Trish (awful name) gets to know "Cameron O"Cleary" (who is Afircan American with a super Irish name) while Aaron is off on paternity leave. Even though Trish is a strong woman and seems to be able to handle herself, this story is again Cameron having to tiptoe around her and convince her they should be togehter.
Overall I enjoyed the stories, but there wasn't much to them, and I don't konw that I'd necessarily recommend them to anyone who isn't a Katee Robert superfan.
I received an advanced copy and am giving an honest review.
