Publisher's summary

He is temptation, but she will not be tempted.

As a child, Selene was left at the foot of the White Tower—given to the sorceresses who train those with magic. Her life has been spent honing her powers. But she can't fully join their ranks until she fulfills a single, impossible task: bring the Demon King, Lust, to his knees.

Lust has ruled his kingdom for centuries. He is the reason his people live without remorse and indulge in their senses. Life is mundane and boring… until he runs into a dark-haired enchantress with eyes the color of the night sky. With one whispered sentence, she changes everything.

"I'm the beginning of something new."

Suddenly, the weight of centuries consumes him. He tries to use his powers of lust to sway her. He can bend the emotion, manipulate it, use that lust to control anyone he wants. But she's a blank slate. He can't feel anything inside her mind but ice and defiance.

All it took was one sentence to get into his castle, even less to capture his attention. Suddenly, the weakest of the sorceresses finds herself in a game of wits she has to control. A game of deceiving a demon king while desperately trying not to fall in love with a creature who cannot feel anything but lust.

Needs a rewrite.

It started strong-ish, but then took a nose dive, and finally was just plain annoying to listen to. I only got as far as I did because I was on a long road trip and I can’t search for a new book while driving.

The author/characters contradicts herself/themselves constantly and the book frequently doesn’t make sense because of this. It was like she was writing without a plan and making stuff up to fit whatever scene or twisted words to force something to go one way when it wouldn’t logically make any sense to go that way, as well as making up possibilities for solving problems with no prior indication that such a thing is possible.

FMC has light magic but only uses it twice, in relatively meaningless gestures. The solution to a problem at the end has zero prior indication. The number of sorcerers at the tower varies randomly. Characters’ words and actions don’t always make sense with each other, internal dialogue isn’t even consistent within a single monologue, repeatedly.

Readers were fine.
