About this listen
Scandal! Gossip!
When kidnapped English heiress Zoe Lexham daringly escapes from captivity, her problems have only begun. After 12 years in a harem, she knows far more about erotic practices than how to conduct a proper conversation in civilized parlors.
Her reception from London society's ladies is arctic; the proposals from their husbands and brothers exceedingly warm; and her loving, but overwhelmed, aristocratic family fear she'll be an outcast forever - unless someone can launch her to success (and a good marriage)!
Enter Lucien de Grey, the Duke of Marchmont. Lucien is no knight in shining armor; he's cynical, easily bored, dangerous to women, and utterly indifferent to popular opinion. But good looks, combined with money and title, make him welcome everywhere. The most popular bachelor in the Beau Monde can easily save Zoe's risqué reputation, if he can prevent the chemistry between them from getting so out of hand...so often...and so deliciously!

Hooked from beginning to end!!!
Again Chase hits it out of the park! I loved this story and the characters were wonderful. The banter between Marchmont and Zoe is just great. So it is a bit predictable - that's why I listen to these books! I want to be transported to a Happily Ever After place! There was just enough drama and turmoil to make it interesting. I laughed out loud all the time! Didn't want to put this on pause! Kate Reading is well - she IS THE BEST! She makes any story that much more delightful!
Totally worth a credit.

Another great story!
It leaves you wanting to know more about their story. Then it might leaves a bit for your imagination as you could see how beautiful of a relationship that started as childhood friendship turn into the most beautiful love story. Loretta Chase is most definitely one of my favorite authors! Thanks for another beautiful book!🥰

Pleasant was to spend an afternoom.
Interesting to listen to. Not the typical story line, and the plot was not as simplistic or ridiculous. ot w as, of course, predicatable. Narration was pleasant. I did get tired of so many sentences beginning with "he said" or "she said". If the writing and narration is adequate, we can all figure out who is saying what.

Kinda boring
Couldn’t connect with the characters. Didn’t really care about them or like them much. I feel they should have been built up sooner in the story. The ending is good though. Worth a listen but not really connected to the series.

Fantastic
If you could sum up Don't Tempt Me in three words, what would they be?
Interesting, Romantic, Mature
What did you like best about this story?
I liked that there were no misunderstandings between the two characters. Their own flaws and the 12 years they grew up apart served to create tension.
I really love Loretta Chase. She writes books that grab the reader with excitement, humour and sexual tension. The love between the two characters jumps off the page.
Which scene was your favorite?
I really laughed when there were scenes with Zoe's sisters. They were the opposite of her and this juxtaposition made for some very funny moments.
Also the dinner party when Lucien was getting drunk and jealous. His inner monologue was delightful.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I really laughed. Especially when Shakespeare was being quoted. Only the wonderful LC could accomplish this feat.
Any additional comments?
This was a great balance of all the elements that make a great book. I highly recommend it. i

She cracks his shell of indifference...
She was a childhood friend who disappeared for 12 years.
He instantly knew it was her (not an imposter) when she returned.
He did not seem to care about anything. But she evoked emotions.
Their journey to love was unstoppable.

Childhood friends romance
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have listened to it several times. I wished there were more stories included about Zoe and Marchmont as children so we were more convinced of how close they felt in their youth. There were a few towards the end of the book, but I would have preferred them in the beginning. I liked both characters and Marchmont's evolution back to a generous, caring person is heartwarming. The story of Zoe’s escape to rescue herself is very moving and brought me to tears. She shows great courage throughout the book, including facing her critics to embrace the life she was meant to have in the glittering London ballrooms. Excellent narration.
