Thank you to Giana Darling, Serena and the rest of the Dangerous Press team for the advance reader copy of Dangerous Temptation. This book hits shelves on September 28th!
I absolutely love love Giana Darling so I was so excited to see that she was joining the Midnight Dynasty world. I really thought she would fit in perfectly and she sure did.
I am a member of the Dangerous Press review team, but I stand by my reviews remaining honest and true.
“He arrives all dressed in black. Diamond cufflinks. A watch on his tanned wrist that cost more than we would ever see in a lifetime of work. He carries a single red rose for my mother.
Months later, Tiernan Morelli lays red roses on my mother’s grave. That same day, he tells me that he is my new guardian.
I should have known from the very start that he had more in common with the thorns than the rose. Now I know the truth: I’m a pawn in his dangerous game of revenge. I was too young and naive. Now it’s too late to save myself from his clutches.
Now I belong to him.”
Check out my more detailed thoughts below…
- Characters: Bianca is incredibly headstrong, and determined. I loved how much of a fighter and hard worker she was. She was a great bigger sister to her younger Brandon. I loved their sibling relationship. She was incredibly caring and protective of him. Brando was the light and innocence not only this book but the Midnight Dynasty world needed. I loved Tiernan’s character. He is the black sheep of the Morelli family. The one who bore the brunt of his father’s abuse, the one who gets along the least with the other siblings. He has never ever been anybody’s first choice. I loved the little callback we got to Elena, as Tiernan’s lawyer. If you are just here as a Dangerous Press fan and you have never read any Giana Darling. You gotta read the Anti-Heroes in Love duet!
- Setting: The story is set in Bishop’s Landing. Our classic setting for all these Midnight Dynasty books. Specifically at the Lion Court. Tiernan’s home, with its gothic architecture, sure delivered us some spooky vibes. It was his maternal grandparent’s place and now it is his sanctuary away from the prying eyes of the other Morellis.
- Pacing: The pacing is quite good. The book felt a bit short, but all that did was make me excited to read the sequel hopefully very soon. I have been a fan of Giana for years, I knew she would compliment this world and she sure did. The intensity of her writing, from Kiernan’s characterization to some relationship-changing intimate scenes between Kiernan and Bianca.
- Romance: This book is big enemies-to-lovers vibe. Tiernan stormed into Bianca’s life when he was dating her mom. After the events of the prequel novella included in this book. Bianca and Brandon become Tiernan’s wards. Tiernan offers Bianca a good education and nice clothes, but in return, she must follow his rules. I loved the sexual tension that permeated every scene they had together. As the book progressed Bianca softened the cruel side of Tiernan. A man who had never really been loved with such innocence before. All of the characters in this book are not clean-cut good or bad, there is so much grey area. One of the things I love most about all the Dangerous Press books.
Dangerous Temptation receives four out of five stars.
