Resumen del Editor

Unemployed. Check.

Zero prospects. Check.

An eviction notice in hand. Check.

Life in shambles? Check. Check. Check.

Desperate to avoid living on my sister’s couch, I took a job in the one place I shouldn’t.

That's where I first saw him.

Drew Lawson.

Elusive bad boy.

Owner of the hottest club in the city.

And apparently my new boss.

Temptation comes in many forms.

For me, it’s the way he looks at me.

The way he feels.

He’s my addiction.

My secret.

I know I should keep my distance.

I could lose everything - even myself.

But I can’t.

And neither can he.

Rollercoaster

What a great story with very well developed characters. Ava Harrison has yet to disappoint me with her amazing writing style. And I & Joe, as always, are fantastic narrators with emphasis on the right words at the right time. Definitely recommend.

Well written and Realistic

I really liked this book. The characters and storylines were fairly angsty and realistic. My only criticism would be that I would have liked to have seen the post- accident time period prolonged a bit. More drama and Bailey not so quick to accept and forgive. Otherwise, spot on. Another fabulous AH book!

Loved this book!

This was an easy listen and worth the credit spent on it. Ava Harrison did it again!!

Holy WOW!!!

This was a very intense read. I mean that in the best way, too. There were times I wanted to throw my phone at Bailey's stupid choices, but trust me when I say I'm glad I didn't. That's the mark of a book that pulls you in and doesn't release its hold until the last page of the epilogue.

OH AVA, THIS ROLLERCOASTER’S GOT FELLS

I’d preordered this anticipating the rocky ride and emotional twists Ava Harrison is well known for.. but wow she really put me through the wringer (along with her lead characters of course) as they struggled with their demons, struggled with different backstories of addiction and struggled to keep hold of each other. Their journey to happily ever after started the moment their eyes locked and chemistry flared.. but there was a lot of skeletons in both their closets waiting to be revealed. And there’d be insecurities, temptations and wrong moves taken before they could both stand on solid ground. Drew, the handsome billionaire Nightclub owner, has been inside his gilded cage of guilt for years - never letting anybody come too close or penetrate his walls. Bailey is two years sober, her rent is past due and she desperately needs a job.. but Drew’s Nightclub should’ve been the last place she works in with all its temptations.. however, in the end, he and it would be her salvation. Unfortunately, first they have to understand each other, take some tentative steps forward, break apart as blows, twists, snakes in the grass and gut-punches reveal themselves.. and share all their truths, before they can have a forever. My heart went out to both characters.. for Drew over his guilt and loss in an untimely drug-related death and for Bailey over her continued struggles with addiction and the reason for it. There’s seismic chemistry, sex, twists, passion, delicious friction, heartache, a very supportive sister, pain, family friction, love and feels for miles in this riveting dual POV listen. The narration by Joe and Andi was on point and perfect bringing the characters, drama and dynamics to life. WORTH A CREDIT? For me yes, an enjoyable rollercoaster romance for sure.

drama

There is so much going on in this book. I was a bit conflicted. Like why would a recovering addict work in a bar around so much temptation? I know it was the only choice. There were parts to this where it dragged on and others where it needed to keep going to help build the character. They both have survivors guilt but she has a few more skeletons in her closet. Their love was a slow burn even though it might seem like insta-lust.
Overall good book. It's not steamy like others but still a good read.
Good job from the narrators.

Good Story

Great story!....however I wish Bailey wasn't soooo childish, she jumps in head first, then regrets and cry later.....smh!

4 Tempted Stars!

Ava Harrison brings us a new couple and hero to love with latest release, Tempted. Drew and Bailey’s story was different than what I expected yet I still enjoyed it. I loved the beginning of the story, but felt like the pacing slowed a bit towards the middle of the book, but once again picks up steam towards the ending. I love a good angsty read and Ava Harrison delivers just that with MCs who both have demons they must battle and inner turmoil to overcome before being able to reach their HEA. There were times Bailey frustrated me to the point I wanted to shake her, and moments where I just wanted to envelope Drew and make it better, but I also rooted hard for these two. Despite the angst factor the story isn’t just about that. There’s plenty of chemistry between Bailey and Drew to have sparks flying throughout the story and keep me firmly invested. TEMPTED is another must read if you’re an Ava Harrison fan.

Narration was performed by the Joe Arden and Andi Arndt and you really don’t need to know more, but I’m going to tell you anyway. They were absolutely fantastic as Drew and Bailey. Both enduring so much emotion into their performances and bringing to life the angst, struggle, passion, chemistry, and sometimes pain within the story. They are two of my all time favorite narrators and its clear to see why in their perfect performances here. They made this a must listen audio for me.

Good

The story is pretty good, however it's hard to listen to Joe. Sorry. If I was a writer he would not be narrating any of my books. his reading is unrelatable

Not for me

I thought at first it would be a good story however, it proved to be disappointing in the end. The heroine was so annoying. Just when you think she is learning and getting her act together, she makes practically the same mistake again. She listens to and trusts the wrong people. I couldn’t understand why Drew wanted to be in a relationship with her. I am not sure it is worth the credit.
