Tempted

De: Ava Harrison

Narrado por: Joe Arden, Andi Arndt

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.

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.

Loved this book!

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

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!

Not Totally Tempted...

First off, CW: drug use. Some spoilers ahead.

I had a bit of a hard time with this book. I thought Drew and Bailey didn’t have a lot of chemistry. I just wasn’t sold on them falling for each other. I didn’t like the other woman scenario even though it was one sided. I wasn’t too into the constant drug use by the Reese character.

I know. You see the 4 stars and think, what? Hear me out. The audio by Joe Arden and Andi Arndt was excellent. And in this case, that leveled up the 2-3 star story for me. I thought Andi just elevated Bailey. I felt the pain of an addict. I felt the rush of falling for someone. I did this as a read at first, but ended up listening for the most part because of her.

Now, some things didn’t make sense for me. Bailey not affording school on a 6 figure salary? Drew making a “clean” club, but it wasn’t really clean? It just stuck out for me.

The black moment was written well. It was heartbreaking, but at the same time, I didn’t like how some of it panned out. I get it, I just wasn’t into it.

I will say this, if Ava is going to write Carter and Harper, I am 100% here for that. Their energy was simmering in a way that I just didn’t expect. I am still thinking about them.
