Story
Orpheus has just one goal: To rescue his brother from the underworld. He's not expecting a woman to get in the way. Especially not a Siren as gorgeous as Skyla. He has no idea she's an assassin sent by Zeus to seduce, entrap, and ultimately destroy him. Yet Skyla herself might have the most to lose. There's a reason Orpheus feels so familiar to her, a reason her body seems to crave him...The truth could reveal a deadly secret as old as the Eternal Guardians themselves.

Theron - Dark haired, duty bound and deceptively deadly. He's the leader of the Argonauts, an elite group of guardians that defends the immortal realm from threats of the Underworld. From the moment he walked into the club, Casey knew this guy was different. Men like that just didn't exist in real life - silky shoulder-length hair, chest impossibly broad, and a predatory manner that just screamed dark and dangerous. He was looking for something. Her. She was the one. She had the mark. Casey had to die so his kind could live, and it was Theron's duty to bring her in. But even as a 200-year-old descendent of Hercules, he wasn't strong enough to resist....

Gryphon will not allow himself to be ruled by the insidious whispers in his head. And there's only one way to stop them: Kill Atalanta, the goddess who enslaved him. But with so much darkness inside, he can't be sure what's real anymore. Even the Eternal Guardians, those who protect the human realms and the gods, want to exile him. Finding Malea is like a miracle. Somehow he doesn't feel the pull of the dark when she's near. And he's determined to keep her as near as possible, whether she wants him close or not.

One he would gladly trade for the chance to be free . . . Obsessed. Her touch is like a drug. From the moment he met her, Titus knew she was different. Even dangerous. Yet though his guardian brethren are convinced Natasa is working for Hades, Titus can't stop thinking about her. Can't stop fantasizing about her.

Ari - once an Eternal Guardian, now he's nothing but a rogue mercenary with one singular focus: revenge. His guardian brothers all think he's dead, but he is very much alive in the human realm, chipping away at Zeus' Sirens every chance he can, reveling in his brutality and anonymity. Until, that is, he abducts the wrong female and his identity is finally exposed. It will take more than the Eternal Guardians, more even than the gods to rein Ari in after everything he's done. It may just take the courage of one woman willing to stand up to a warrior who's become a savage.

Each Book Gets Better...Great Series!!
I am hoping that books 1 and 2 will be coming to Audible soon, but if not, I would recommend reading them first and then buying this audio book. I am a huge fan of paranormal romance and these books are great. This is a continuation from book 2, so it is not really a stand alone story.
I was not prepared to love Demetrius as much as I did by the end. He has been a pain in the neck in the past 2 books, and I was not sure how sympathetic and forgiving I was going to be. But he had his reasons and this book really made me his fan.
I loved Isadora from book 1 and 2 and it was good to see her get a soul mate.
This book has great characters, a good plot line that arcs multiple books and is well written and well paces. I highly recommend the audio book if you can read book 1 and 2 first.

Glad these books have made it to Audible
I was really excited to see these books come to audible. Unfortunately you have to read the first two books in the series because I think she had a different publishing company back then but I would definitely recommend you read books 1 & 2 before starting the audio series. The narrator was good but she took a little bit for me to get used to her. I would have chosen a different narrator but she was not bad. Lots of good mythology mixed with present day. If you like Sherrilyn Kenyon's series you will like this series.

I'M SOOO GLAD I WAS TEMPTED BY THIS GREAT SERIES
In this powerful 3rd book we see Demetrius, a damaged reluctant hero, battle his personal demons, his Mother, his obsession for his soul mate, the other Argonauts, various daemons and the darkness that constantly threatens his soul. We also watch as timid Princess Isadora finally morphs into a strong and very capable Queen.
In previous books Demetrius and Isadora have had a volatile intense dislike for each other over the years but in this enjoyable, action-packed story they are unfortunate pawns in someone's secret evil agenda and they must learn to live closely together but nothing more or else all will be lost. But before long their mutually erected barriers of dislike slowly fall away which leaves them with lust, passion, sex and love - however, hurt, betrayal, revenge, sacrifice and torture must be endured before forgiveness, compassion and quick thinking wins the inevitable HEA.
Very well narrated by Elizabeth Wiley whose talented voices brings to life each character, each scene and transforms a good book into a great listen.
Worth a credit? A perfect paranormal fantasy adventure with great mythical characters, magic, witches, Gods, Goddesses and, as fate takes it's course, an enduring powerful love story. So if you're a paranormal romance lover, then YES it, and the whole series, is very creditworthy.

Favorite one so far.
Each book keeps getting better and better. I was excited for Demetri and Isadora's story and it lived up to my expectation. We find out why each had such a dislike for each other and how it a ruse to hide how they truly feel for each other. The book was hot and I loved the whole stranded on a deserted island with all the mythological monsters aspect. I liked how both characters grew in their strengths because of each other. I recommend reading this series in order to get the full benefits of the storyline. I did manage to get this book with the Whispersync program for less than the required credit. So worth it and I will be getting more books from this series. Narrator is good.

A Fantastic Read!
This is the third book in the Eternal Guardians series. I loved it!
My sister recommended this series to me as she had read them all (that have been released so far) and thought I would enjoy it, and she was right! I downloaded this as an audiobook, as I had previously enjoyed listening to the first two books in the series in audiobook too. Tempted is again narrated by Elizabeth Wiley. She does another fantastic job in telling the story. Her narration is crystal clear and her interpretation of the characters brought them to life.
Demetrius is a rather intriguing character. I didn't know much about him, even from the glimpses I had of him from the first two books. I am extremely glad to be able to get to know him a little better. He is a very dark and mysterious person, who keeps to himself and even holds his fellow Guardians' at arms length. He has a secret or two that he would prefer to remain hidden but, when Isadora goes missing, he realises that he will have to embrace the darkness within to be able to save her.
Isadora is a character that surprised me when I first met her in Marked (the first book in the series). I was originally intrigued with Isadora, who, although a princess, seemed to have a very weak character and let herself get pushed around, especially by her father King Leonidas. However, as this series has progressed, she has impressed me with her inner strength and steely determination. Now, she has my respect and admiration.
This series seems to be getting better and better as it goes along; I am completely hooked! The story continues from the end of the second book and see's Isadora being kidnapped by a witch, who has been given the task by Apophis, a warlock determined to gain power using Isadora's powers of the Hora to thwart Atalanta. What follows is a fast paced, action packed story that had me sitting on the edge of my seat! The story is told through various points of view, which I really liked. Not only do we meet all of the Guardians, as well as Callia and Acacia (Casey) - Isadora's half-sisters' - again, Max is still very much in the story, though in a more minor role. We also get to meet Orphius more. He's Isadora's friend and, even though he is part daemon (though none of the Guardians know this), he has a playful sense of humour that I like. Demetrius's secrets, once revealed, made me understand him a little more. I can see why he would keep himself apart from the other Guardians' though, but this made me feel sad for him. He hasn't had an easy childhood and, finding out who his mother is, made me realise why he would do this. Meanwhile, Atalanta is plotting and scheming as always, and is determined to find the Orb of Chronos that Max had stolen from her. She is one of those villainous characters you love to hate; she's perfectly evil!
One thing I will say about this story (and series as a whole) is the world building is excellent. The characters are well developed and extremely lifelike. The story arc is beginning to take shape and I am getting excited to see where it leads! The story ends on cliffhanger, which has me looking forward to continuing with this series and I will (hopefully) get to read/listen to Enraptured as soon as I can.
Elisabeth Naughton has written an exciting paranormal romance series. I love her fast paced writing style and the flow is wonderful. She has definitely found a fan in me!
Due to scenes of a sexual nature that are on the explicit side, I do not recommend this book for younger readers. However, I highly recommend this book if you love erotic paranormal romances with sexy heroes and strong female characters. - Lynn Worton

Love and hate!
Would you consider the audio edition of Tempted to be better than the print version?
I have read the first book as a print. The story itself was very enjoyable, with great imagination, characters and story building. However, I found that at times it became unbearably soppy/mushy dragging out the angst, and ruining the overall affect for me. I love romance but when you drown it in incessant 'I love you's but a can't have you (blah d' blah)' makes me cringe and roll my eyes with disdain. Just bone and get it over with already!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Tempted?
Nookie in the caves. Nom, nom, nom... :)
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The performance was quite good, but to me all the woman sounded whiny/timid and pitiful.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I think after a while I was just waiting to get to the conclusion to the story itself. The lovey dovey overkill and whining got too much for me. I might just read the rest myself...
Any additional comments?
Good story base and imagination of this fantasy world with some good characters. But tone it down on the placid, timid, screeching woman and insipid loving.
