Darkness Tempt Me

By: Emmy LaRoux

Narrated by: Oliver Williams

Three years ago, I escaped an abusive relationship, left town, and took my brother with me. I never looked back. After landing my dream job as an assistant to a high-powered CEO, life couldn’t get any better.

I know I shouldn’t flirt with my sexy-as-sin boss, but while everyone sees someone cold and calculating, I see Mavik Blackwood, the man with an intense stare that ignites my soul.

He’s intoxicating. An addiction I can't seem to get enough of. And every time he denies the fiery passion simmering between us, it fuels my obsession. He makes me feel safe, appreciated, and worthy. He makes me feel seen, and I want to return the favor. Working for Mavik means I know everything about him. I see him…

But do I really? One night, I see everything I didn’t realize I was missing. I witness something so horrifying that I should run the other way. I can’t let history repeat itself.

Instead, I’m questioning good versus evil. My sanity and morals are being tested as I’m drawn into a world of forbidden desires. Mavik says we would never work because, while I’m the light, his soul is pure black.

But it’s too late. I’m drawn to this dangerous, beautiful man and the darkness within.

As OTT as I Desired

Dee’s Grade: A-

One thing I love about dark romance is how OTT it can be. And this one definitely had that. The only thing I wish is that we had more time with them as an established couple. I wish there was less set up and more story at the end.

The narrator did a great job though especially on Mavik’s voice.

Awesome!!!

A DARK AND OUTSTANDING LISTENING EXPERIENCE!!

I found Peyton and Mavik are awesome to hear in this audiobook. I feel like I got to see different aspects of them through this listening experience. Just an overall great experience.

Holy cow, so good!!

Performance: This is my audiobook narrated by Oliver Williams. He literally blew me away from his first spoken words. Peyton’s voice is perfect and Mavik is deliciously throaty. It has been an amazing listening experience!!

Story: I thoroughly enjoyed the flirting between boss and assistant! The name Mavik is so smexy and totally matches the description of the main character. The story bounces between the romantic tension between Pey and Mavik, Peyton’s brother Tyler’s relationship, and Hunter and Mavik’s friendship. It weaves past with present for both Mavik and Peyton showing them as two sides of the same coin. The story is written to keep readers like me on the edge of their seats, refusing to stop reading until the story is finished.
