Pretty Perfect Toy

Temptation Court, Book 2

De: Angel Payne

Narrado por: Stella Bloom, Jason Clarke

With their attraction too explosive to ignore, Cassian Court has whisked Mishella Santelle from her tiny island kingdom to the empire he rules: New York City. Here, they have succumbed to the magic of Temptation Manor, surrendering to their lust and a love that won’t be denied.

But happiness is nearly ripped away when an act of heroism turns Cassian into a target of violence...from which physical recovery is only the beginning of healing. Cassian must find a way to expose his emotional scars too, revisiting a past that refuses to release him from its haunting grip. The secrets of Turret Two hold the promise of clearing a path for a new connection with Mishella...or anchoring him deeper in the past.

Just as Mishella decides she’s had enough of being the city’s perfect little toy as New York’s fresh “it” couple, a shocking visitor changes everything. Now, faced with accepting an even more agonizing reality, Mishella learns deception isn’t always black and white...and the prettiest toy sometimes hides the darkest secrets.

A little mushy, in a good way!

Jason Clarke's narration is everything... he is an absolutely superb narrator. Stella Bloom is just as amazing, but I admit I'm a little biased that the deep tones of Clark's voice are a little more... stimulating. The story itself was interesting and had enough twists and turns to keep me interested but I was left wishy-washy about whether the third book was going to be worth it. I know there are more trials to face for these two characters but I may take some time away from the series for a bit and come back to it for the third. I loved the first two books, I just find my tastes shifting recently and want something a little darker. I enjoyed the tight bond between the two characters and I think I'll come back to the third book on a day where I need a reminder of the "love conquers all" kind. The characters are a little mushy once they came to understand how deeply they care for each other, but I liked it. I enjoyed them beginning to understand they can lean and depend on each other. I will be back!

Good, if long winded story

By the creator, I can’t decide if I want to go on to the final book or not. The readers do an excellent job with the story, although I wonder if even they would like to tell this story with fewer words. The overall premise is good, but the telling of it is arduous at times. Michella can be annoying, but Cassian is a much more interesting character I recommend this book for those who like mystery and intrigue with a plethora of commentary.
