Dangerously Tempting by Alexa L Stephen
fast-paced
5.0
Wow! This book has so many things that I look for in a good read. Spice, lovable characters, a suspenseful plot, character development… Alexa Stephen did the damn thing with this debut novel!
The MMC, Jameson, is a sweet and protective cinnamon roll, yet a total dominate in the bedroom. He has the perfect mix of sweet romantic gestures with a filthy mouth when it comes to those steamy scenes. Amelia, the FMC, is sassy and fun, but definitely comes with some baggage. I absolutely loved her character development. She has her moments that I just wanted to shake her, but when you really look at it, she has very relatable trauma responses. I really appreciated that it was made a priority to heal herself before fully opening up to her and Jameson’s happily ever after. Not to mention that both her best friend, Kat, and Jameson were able to call her out on her bullshit when they needed to. I LOVE how patient and understanding Jameson was throughout the book.
The stalker aspect of the story added just enough suspense to keep things interesting. The spice was HOT 🥵 but didn’t take over the plot either. I felt like overall there was a really nice balance of everything.
I appreciate having the opportunity to read this book for Alexa Stephen in exchange for an honest review! I can’t wait to see where this author goes with her future writing! She did an outstanding job.
