About this listen

He spotted her in Club Nightshade, a beautiful goddess among the mortals, and from that moment on she was his everything. She tempted him. She intrigued him. He wanted her. Sabrina Donahue knew she was playing with fire from the moment their lips met, but something about Roman Arceneaux made it difficult for her to care. Sensual and darkly intense, Roman is every woman's fantasy come to life. One by one, Sabrina's reservations fall prey to his skilled seduction, leaving her dreaming of a future she never imagined. When monsters and mayhem intrude upon their lives, Sabrina's fragile existence is threatened and Roman is left to wonder if their love will survive.

Any additional comments?

Great book. I wanted to keep listening even after the audiobook had ended. Ms. Tetreault has gained a fan. Can't wait to check out her other books.

Great listen!

I first found this series when I listened to the Christmas novella. I loved the characters and HAD to go start from the beginning. I'm so glad I did!

Brenda Tetreault is an amazing writer. I have read many paranormal romance works over the years and sometimes don't feel that the characters are relatable. In some books, they are too different from reality, but that is not the case here! All the characters are well rounded with enough backstory to connect the reader/listener to them, but not so much that I felt bogged down by extraneous details.

The narrator did a fabulous job of bringing the characters to life. All of her characters' voices were distinct and made it easy to tell who was who.

This is a great audio book.

Wonderfully different but yet the same!

I really enjoyed this book! The story is amazing! I love how it’s not only about the two main characters. We meet a lot of people in here. They all have stories. We get a little insight into each. This ones main two were Sabrina and Roman. I was surprised and shocked a couple times while listening to this. I’m not going to say what but paranormal is a favorite genre of mine and I thought I had seen it all. This one is a bit different.

I enjoyed almost all the secondary characters. They each added to the main story as well as having a little something on the side. I hope some of them get their own stories.

I did listen to this on audio. Sonja Field Is the narrator. She did a good job. My only wish is she would speak a bit louder for the men’s voices. Sometimes Roman was hard to hear.

Awesome Story ~ Never A Dull Moment!

After listening and falling in love with book two, I had to go back and listen to book one, and it was just as awesome and exceeded all my expectation! I LOVE how Brenda Tetreault develops multiple plots and POV's, making this a very entertaining, fun and sexy story with excellent world-building and character development. You really get to know the characters and I look forward to listening to their stories.

Sonja Field's has a great voice and delivers a flawless performance! She does an excellent job bringing the words to life!

An awesome series for any die hard PNR fan, and an amazing Kindle Unlimited Whispersync deal!

Full Review -

Yep, I totally loved this! It's so good! I loved the whole premise and I loved that this books deals with vampires and other supernatural types. In Tempted, Roman, who is a dhampir (half human, half vampire), sees Sabrina across the room in his nightclub, Nightshade, and feels a strong attraction and pull towards her. Sabrina also feels a pull towards Roman, and the two have a moment, but it doesn't go much further before they separate, but Roman isn't ready to let Sabrina walk out of his life. Sabrina is from a well-off family, but she is a bit of a wild child because her parents are a bit cold towards her and they try to run her life, so she rebels by doing some things that aren't very smart and make her seem childish, which normally would bother me, but I liked that Sabrina had sass and that she understood that her actions weren't really helping anything. Sabrina is intelligent and I think she handles having a lot of crazy thrown at her wonderfully. At one of these little rebellions, Roman and Sabrina end up meeting again, but the meeting doesn't quite go as Roman would have hoped, but eventually they end up reconnecting. I don't want to spoil it, so I'll just say this action by Sabrina was really the only thing I didn't enjoy about this story, and I didn't like the thought that Roman was there frequently enough to be knowledgeable about the setting, but luckily it wasn't too big a part of the story, so I didn't let it affect my rating. Roman and Sabrina begin to grow closer, but Roman has his secrets that may make Sabrina leave him, so he is trying to find the right time to mention these things to her, but some outside forces intrude on Roman and Sabrina's relationship causing strife. Roman has some dangerous people in his past that aren't too happy that Sabrina is in Roman's life, so Roman and Sabrina are on a tough road to happiness. Roman and Sabrina are hot together, and I loved how much Roman feels for Sabrina. They have a really great connection; deep and heartfelt, and I was surprised with how sweet the romance ended up being. The sex scenes are very steamy, and definitely had my heart pounding. Tempted really pulled me in, and the story is very interesting. The whole story was so full of wonderfulness, and I just love Brenda Tetreault's writing! I love that there are different types of supernaturals in this book, and I especially loved that Roman's "butler" was a fawn! So cool! That character was so much fun! We also get a glimpse at the relationship between Caine and Gaela, who are Roman's bodyguard and sister, and their story just broke my heart! Although the majority of the book is about Roman and Sabrina, Caine and Gaela get some chapters too, and normally I don't like when focus is taken off the main couple, but I loved their story so much, so I wasn't disappointed at all that they get some scene time. I was truly hoping that the next book would be a continuation of their story, but I have to wait one more book before that happens, so I'm going to have to hurry up and read the next book, so I can get to their book. I'm definitely going to have to do that sooner rather than later because I want more Caine and Gaela! I loved how Tempted's story evolved, and I enjoyed the bit of mystery and the little surprises. I also listened to the audio version of this story, and the narrator is amazing! She does multiple voices and accents, and does a great job! I'm really looking forward to the next book! The next book is about Caius, who is a villain in this book, so that will be interesting to see his story, when he was mentioned in this book, I did think I would like to read his story, so although I want Caine and Gaela's story, I'm excited to read Caius' story too!

Hmmm

I have mixed feelings ... I liked the story overall, however I feel like it was rushed.

The narration was ok, but, again rushed.

Thoroughly enjoyed. Loved the characters

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to more. With lots of action, drama, family issues, love, passion, and some humor, I did not want to stop listening to the beginning of this series. Sabrina and Roman were hot together, good for each other, and a bit defensive. It was interesting to get the characters' backstories. With Sabrina and Roman's HEA, the reader was shown the way to the next story. The narrator, Sonja Field, was excellent in getting the emotion across as well as giving life to quite a few characters. I recommend this story.

I received a copy of the audiobook as a prize, and this is my unsolicited review.

Very well written

I was sucked in from the first paragraph. I felt the emotions from Roman’s mother so deeply I knew I had found a new author. The characters are rich and deep. It feels like you can feel their every emotion. The difference POV’s and sub story line with Kane and Gayla feels like two stories in one. I thought the narrator did a good job, I’m pretty picky about my narrators but as Roman she gets 5 stars! Definitely will continue on with this series
