About this listen

El Diablo strikes no fear in the heart of Dusty O'Donovan. The accomplished rider knows life holds much greater fears than a feisty stud bull. Diablo's owner, Zach McCray, is offering half a million dollars to anyone who can stay on him for a full eight seconds. That purse would go a long way helping rebuild Dusty and her brother's nearly bankrupt ranch.

Let a woman ride his bull? Not likely. Still, the headstrong Dusty intrigues Zach. Her father worked on the McCray ranch years ago, and Zach remembers her as a little girl when he was a cocky teen. Times change, and now she's a beautiful and desirable young woman. A few passionate kisses leave Zach wanting more, but will Dusty's secrets tear them apart?

Sweet

I enjoy this love story, it makes you believe in true love not just lust or infatuation. The author did a good job expressing how difficult life and it’s choices can be at times. The narrator Kendall Taylor also did a great job. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.

Good start to the series

Not a bad story, a bit simple at times and the writing can get awkward, but worth a listen. I prefer 1st person , with duel points of view, but I got a good feel for the characters.

The narrator does a good job, although I had to speed it up quite a bit to make it more bearable. Worth a listen but not incredibly memorable.

Three and a half

This author has me in a bind. On the one hand I love her stories and adore her characters. On the other hand I have several issues with her writing.

First, the stories are original, full of emotions, and engaging. The characters feel real and are likable, they have flaws and make mistakes.
Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Characters: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Flow: 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Editing and writing: 🖊
Steam: 🌶

When it comes to writing and editing I have a few issues.
* Wordiness, like with the lullaby
* Dialogue tags ‘he said’, ‘she said’, ‘he said’...
* I also heard several mistakes like ‘Zach stroked his hair’ (he’s with a woman not a man) which either could be mistakes by Kendall Taylor or in the original writing.

Good Start to the Series

3.75 Stars for me

The story is fairly predictable but entertaining and I did like the characters. The romance scenes ran a bit long at times and there is quite a bit of self doubt but not overwhelming.

Great Read

Tempting Dusty (The Temptation Saga #1) was another great read by Helen Hardt. Dusty O'Donovan isn't afraid of a feisty stud bull that has been deemed untamable. She is an accomplished rider who has been thrown many tough challenges in her life. Zach McCray is the bull's owner and is offering a half a million dollars for anyone who can stay on the bull for eight minutes. That money would help Dusty and her brother rebuild their almost bankrupt ranch. Zach doesn't want to let a woman ride the bull but Dusty is intriguing to him. I really enjoyed reading Dusty and Zach's story and can't wait to read more by Helen Hardt.

Bana-love the story

Must be good since I lessened to It twice. I accidently downloaded a second time (a year later) started it then realize I already heard it. so, I'm reviewing it, so I know I already heard it. don't care for the narration in the beginning, but after the first chapter or so, it's got much better. very interesting storyline, believable not out there.

Accents and authenticity

I liked the story...except, the author didn’t do much research about rodeo. And...I’m unsure who decided that people in Colorado have accents like the hero???
