Tempt Me

This had the makings of everything that could have been a delish smutty time and fell so incredibly flat.

Basic premise is girl who just found her boyfriend cheating from a small religious town is finding freedom and exploration in a new job opportunity on an island far far away. Job mix up ensues and a drunk night with lots of reveals to a mystery man and now said mystery man is her boss and she's his person assistant. Great? Yes! Love oh so love.

Everything else was lack luster to say the least. The smut was good mwah but not enough to make up for the lack of depth behind these characters and plot. The plot ensues in tension (which was unbelievable for me) and working as a personal assistant until gasp the last chapter she finds that there is rape allegations for this man who has a track record for fucking his employees and ditching them, end story. Like why? I genuinely don't understand how this is a series that will last several books, I might listen to them just to see HOW this is drawn out.

I am not a plot connoisseur, if the character development or just character personalities are interesting enough I can still 100% love a book. The FMC is simply based around the fact that she is from a small town, virgin (not anymore because she fucked her serial employee fucker boss), and just called off her engagement. I so wish she had more depth that I could connect with her and understand why she is doing this shit.

Our MMC is a dick and once again I LOVE a mean MMC and even an severe enemies to lovers from time to time. We get the set up for oh I have to be mean to you outside of this room but nice to you here which love. But the nicest thing this man did was replace a vest for her? He did the bare minimum and for being an ass hat outside of their confided relationship was simply not enough.

Plus the tension was simply lacking. With secretive relationships, I love the sneaking around and stolen kisses but this was fucking and nothing else. I am tired of typing but my thoughts cease to stop.
