Publisher's summary

We're tempted to play games, thinking they will give us more power–but that only works if we win.

After spending the holidays with my guardian's family, it seems that everyone in the temple has the wrong idea. The Baron isn't my patron. He's not even a friend. In truth, I hate the man.

But the rumor mill is strong, and jealousy is running rampant.

This is all just one more excuse for my instructors to hold me back, lower my grades, and try to force me to choose one path. I can't! My god needs me to save him, and the Path of Temptation gives me the power to do that.

Except that I'm drowning in the pressure, feeling like I'm failing my god. I need to make people believe in him, but how can I do that when I can't believe in myself? All these mind games are starting to pile up, and it's tearing me apart.

But Zeal is getting stronger.

That's enough to keep me going. No matter how hard they try to push me down, I'll just keep fighting back, learning to play this game better each time. I will not become the victim here, because I'm not doing this alone. My lovers will always stand with me.

But this is not a game. If we fail, we'll lose everything...including each other.

The Path of Temptation series features a strong woman and the men who love her. It includes graphic language, adult situations, and potentially triggering violence and discussions of rape and assault. It is intended for a mature audience.

Steamy

In Carseth there are six gods: Intuition, Compassion, Ambition, Perception, Inspiration and Temptation. This book is about how the god of Temptation is trying to survive in a world that no longer believes and his chosen, Nariana and her four men to help. In this third book, we follow them through their first year of initiative training where two instructors are trying to keep Nariana from following her given path but she intends to succeed at any cost. She just needs to learn she doesn’t have to do it herself.

Please note-there are a lot of graphic sex scenes which are extremely important to the story.

Book 3 was AMAZING! Its spicer, the characters get deeper, the suspense grows. I haven't read a series that kept my attention like this one in a long time!

So Good!

Thank you Auryn Hadley for writing such riveting books with characters that make me really care for them and want to read more. I really love both of the narrators. Thank you Aaron Shedlock (who has the most awesome voice) and Kasi Hollowell for bringing the characters to life.

Taken back

The story line is original intriguing and quite has a lot of underlying lessons for anyone about relationships and your religion. Being able to make this a fantasy and including the God made the twist of the plot more interesting and not wanting to stop listening.

3 rd installment.

I am a big fan of the first two. This story was excellent but I’m not a fan of Nari’s and Ella’s constant doubts and insecurities. Two many words and paragraphs spent on dealing with them. I find it tedious and annoying. I equate that with enemies to lovers drama which I hate. So that’s my opinion. Besides that I still really like the story. The relationships and love is so good I will listen on. It’s a feel good story and can’t resist. Narrators are perfect.
