The Temptation
by Nikki Sloane
I didn’t think I was going to like this book… until I got to chapter five. I was all ready for this to be a predictable and snooty billionaire romance snoozefest until we got to chapter five, and then I perked up some and took notice. From there, my interest only climbed until I was completely invested in the story of Vance and Emery and the twisted mini-verse that is Cape Hill.
You see, I am almost convinced Nikki Sloane doesn’t write bad books. She may write disappointing books, or books that might not be what I’m into, but she doesn’t write BAD books. For instance: I didn’t like “The Initiation”, the first book in this series. I also had a lot of criticism for “The Architect” (even though there were a great deal of things I did enjoy about that book). But this book? This book is really, really good.
I love the dual POV. I love Vance, now so removed from the events of the first book but also so lost amongst the rubble of Alice’s machinations. I liked Emery from when we first met her, but by chapter four I was in love with her. I kind-of want to reach into the book and steal her away. Even the mystery that kicks this whole book off (which had me turned off completely at first) which then turns itself into a subplot so the romance and a larger plot can come first is a matter I became invested in and I enjoyed how Sloane brought it back in and tied it all together at the end.
The best takeaway from this book is Emery. Emery Emery Emery.
