Savage Temptation by Stephanie Amaral
Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.

I got bored and did feel like starting the book back up.

Salem is fantastic. I love a good revenge arc. And I love that she can take down any of the guys and force herself through any circumstances. Zane is great. He’s such a cinnamon roll but only for her. I did think he was going to be the badass in the book…but Salem hands him his ass many times. It was a good story and I enjoyed reading it.

The amount of times this book made to laugh was amazing. I love how sassy Sadie is. Now the guys just need to grow up and stop saying they “own” her. I love watching all of the characters evolve through the story and how they interact with each other. How many Royals can be in this group?

A baddass FMC and some cocky alphahole MMCs sign me up. I love Sadie and how her character develops throughout the story. And hello broody, temperamental, and protective sexy men. I finished this book in a day and have to read the next to continue the story

It’s a good story but the book got repetitive to me about 1/3 of the way in and it was kinda annoying to finish the book. It’s not a book that I would leap back into but it’s not a bad book by any means. Just not exactly for me.

It’s a good story and the narrators did fantastic jobs. But the book got repetitive to me about 1/3 of the way in and it was kinda annoying to finish the book. It’s not a book that I would leap back into but it’s not a bad book by any means. Just not exactly for me.

What a damn rollercoaster! What the hell! I love watching all the characters evolve throughout this story. I’m happy Violet is finding herself…although her insecurities (although realistic) are rather annoying at times. And damn them for having the same damn argument! Once again the damn cliffhanger is a punch in the gut. The actors did a great job bringing the story to life.

I love this story. It makes me happy every time I enter its world. Alexis is such a badass even though she has major depression. I don’t blame her. The voice actors did a great job bringing the characters to life. It was amazing to enjoy the story this way as well.
