Big Easy Temptation by Shayla Black, Lexi Blake

4.0

Dax Spencer and Holland Kirk have been circling each other for years, but when it seems like they might actually have a chance together, Holland lies to Dax making him believe that she has done things to hurt his family and walks out on him. In reality, Holland is trying to protect Dax from the same people that murdered his father. Dax reacts by getting drunk and marrying Holland's friend in Vegas. After three years apart, the two must come back together when the conspiracy that the Perfect Gentlemen have been tracking for years comes back to New Orleans and Holland's front doorstep.

Big Easy Temptation is the third installment in The Perfect Gentlemen series. All of the same characters are present as in the other books, but this book focuses on the relationship between Dax and Holland. We get a good strong female character in Holland who works in NCIS in New Orleans. She proves to be not only a good investigator, but can also handle herself when things get physical. The bond between Holland and Dax is believable, but would benefit from more communication. The continuing story line of the mystery of who killed Mad in the first book, is woven into this story with ease. Overall, Big Easy Temptation is a good romance with enough suspense to keep the mystery of The Perfect Gentlemen going.
