Sweet Temptation
by Wendy Higgins
So before I say anything, let me make it clear that this is a companion book to the original Sweet series and is, in no way, a replacement for those books. It's in your best interest to read Sweet Evil, Sweet Peril, and Sweet Reckoning before reading this book. Also, this is going to be a mini review because I actually don't have all that much to say!
With that being said, this is an excellent companion novel! I loved being able to see things from Kaiden's perspective and have a real glimpse into his life and not just see what Anna saw. We get to see key scenes from the series in his perspective as well as a couple new scenes that Anna wasn't a part of in the original series.
The best part about this is the POV. You can definitely tell the difference between Anna and Kaiden and it helps you delve into the story that much more.
There's one other thing I wanted to mention the one thing that I found disconcerting. There were gigantic time jumps at certain points and I would have found it helpful if the book was divided by the original series (the names of the books divided the book into sections) and if each chapter was labeled with when it occurred. Often times I found myself stopping for a minute and trying to locate in my head when this particular scene happened.
The Final Verdict:
This is a wonderful companion novel and if you loved The Sweet Series, I highly recommend you read this to get a deeper understanding of our male MC!

Quotes:
“I won't just be swallowing my pride; I'll be choking on it.”
“Anna finds remnants of cocaine on my coffee table and goes all daughter-of-Belial on me.”
“Brother Pharzuph," Astaroth begins. I know what he is going to say, and I steel myself. "I'm afraid this is more dire than we thought. Your son and the traitor's daughter are quite... in love.
Hm. I like the sound of that. It's the worst possible kick in the balls I can give Father, who looks as if he might vomit.”
“It would decidedly not be okay to touch the bum.”
“For the record,” I say, hardly able to speak through the lust that pumps through my veins, “I was more myself with you during those three days than I’ve ever been with anyone in my life. It’d be easier if I could be fake with you, but you bring out everything in me, little Ann. All of it.” The good and the bad. The hot and the cold. The lust and the love.”
“I think Anna Whitt is bad for my health.”
“And because I still feel like I haven't said enough - because I need to prove just how momentous this is for me, I bash down the barriers I've kept up for eight years, unleashing my aura for Anna to see. I shiver as I bare myself, and I feel Anna holding me tighter. I want her to see my love, like I saw hers once upon a time.
"Oh..." she whispers. "It's beautiful."
I shake my head. Only one thing deserves that word. "You're beautiful.”
