It starts out as a bet.A way to forget about my latest in a string of bad relationships and move on. I know it’s a mistake. My head and heart are just not into the game. Especially when I have a terrible knack for picking the wrong men. Then I see him.The gorgeous man in the dark suit, drowning his sorrows in a glass of scotch is only supposed to be one night of fun. No strings. Zero … No strings. Zero expectations. No one gets hurt.
And when I wake up alone the next morning, it appears I’ve gotten everything I was after. That is until I find the shiny gold cufflinks he left behind. Oh, and discover that he’s my new boss.
But with our ugly pasts still heavy on our shoulders, it should be easy to stay away from each other. To be one hundred percent professional. To ignore the way his heated glances set my skin ablaze, even from across the room. Yep. Impervious is my new middle name.
Even if tempting is his…
THE EDGE OF TEMPTATION is a fun, sexy and emotional STANDALONE romance

This book was the one and only reason why I bought the boxed set that it was originally a part of. It didn’t disappoint. J. Saman created a fun and engaging, completely believable hook-up to clandestine office romance. The twist in the end is what makes romantic suspense and will leave you guessing!
I enjoyed this book a lot. It’s a spicy love story with likable characters. The writing is good and there is great chemistry between Halle and Jonah. It’s my first read by this author and I am looking forward to reading more.
I am voluntarily reviewing an Advanced Reader Copy of this book that I received through Shifted Sheets Book Promotions.
Just finished reading all of the ones that have been released. One of my new favorites.
Predictable
Loved it! There were a few typographical errors, but it did not take away from the story. The interaction between Jonah and Halle was entertaining and endearing.
This book was amazing! It was so sexy and fun to read.
I’m a fan of J. Saman’s books. This one was a really easy read and included love, uncertainty, some mystery, and some great steamy sex scenes. I liked both Halle and Jonah, but felt like they should of realized their love for each other earlier then they did. It did keep me on the edge trying to solve the mystery that unfolds. I read this in one sitting and prefer mystery in my romances over books that fill me with too much emotion or make me cry. If you are like me, then I recommend you read this book!
This is my first book by this author and I have to say I was greatly impressed will now be looking for more books by them.
Halle life is quickly going off track she has just dumped her boyfriend but shortly after he is arrested for hacking causing her to hauled in for questioning Time to restart her life with a new job and he friends think that she needs to have a new man as well even if only for a one night stand so they encourage her to start something with the sad guy sitting at the bar.

It was quite good read creative with challenging scenarios as they journey through the challenges in their relationship .
So good. I read this in one sitting. It doesn’t happen often that you meet a person and feel that connection that you can’t explain but it feels right. Been there before and its wonderful. You have to read this book. It really makes you think about what makes you happy and actually doing it. They were both in a emotional wheel that didn’t stop until they hit the brakes. Life does that to you and then laughs at you when you finally get the joke.

I loved reading Halle and Jonah’s story. What better way to get back into the playing field than to pick up a stranger while at a bar with your girlfriends on a dare? Halle is out with her girls and she is ready to leave the mess of her ex behind her and start a new job but she is NOT ready to get back in the saddle, sorta speak. Her friends feel differently. Halle picks a man at the bar that even though he looks hot, he looks like he wants to be left alone. That works, and off Halle goes. Jonah is in the bar drowning his own sorrows for the day and not interested in conversation with anyone. He is just here to wallow in his own miserableness until Halle nearly falls in his lap. This is just a one night stand that both Jonah and Halle agree to but as the evening progresses, it becomes apparent that these two characters are meant to be so much more. Can they leave their pasts in the past? Whose the first to put their heart on the line? This is a well written, exciting story on how these two damaged characters not only find openness and honesty but friendship and support in one another which eventually leads to love.

What a super read and great start to the new series. I really enjoyed Halle and Jonah’s story. Neither one of these two is looking for a relationship he is still grieving over the loss of his wife and Halle is a little shy of risking her heart again after her ex turned out to be a hacker wanted by the FBI. These two meet when out in a bar and Halle’s friends push her into going over to him they have great chemistry and spend the night together but imagine their surprise when he turns out to be her new boss. This is a great read of two people who are not looking for love but find it anyway but they dont have it easy.
This book manages to run the gamut of emotions. From funny, emotional, grief, awkward to action and drama.
Halle just broke up with Matt, a hacker. Her friends push her to hit on a random guy.
So she does, awkwardly.
On Jonah.
Jonah lost Madeline, his love two years ago and has not been able to move on. He’s at the bar on the two year anniversary of her passing, looking for oblivion.
Instead Halle finds him and he laughs and feels that spark again.
But there’s plenty of drama with her ex Matt.
Recommend.

Eeeekkkk. I devoured The Edge of Temptation in one afternoon! I’m beyond thrilled that I only have eleven more days to wait before The Edge of Forever is released. Have I told you lately, that J. Saman is by far my favorite contemporary romance author? No, well she is and let me be the first to say she outdid herself with this one…
Halle and Jonah’s chemistry is sizzling hot from the get go, but there are plenty of obstacles they must endure in order to take their relationship to the next level. I don’t want to spill the beans so I’m going to let all of you sit back and enjoy this wild ride. Go ahead and one-click The Edge of Temptation, if you believe that everyone deserves a second chance.
Decent read but not great. Started off promising but slowly it kind of got boring. Their lust and love didn’t bring elation. Its nice that they were both able to love again but between the beginning and the end, the only excitement was the constant sex. A lot of misconceptions could have been cleared up had they spoken to each other. Also what kind of messed it up was when the author didn’t write things carefully and review them. Like in one scene she supposedly left her phone at home but then she pulls it out of her purse. Then instead of first aid kit there was kid. There were moments that were funny which is why the rating is not lower.
There is just so much to love about this story! I was hooked from the very first paragraph. Halle and Jonah are the kind of characters that if they were real, I could see being friends with. I loved how they meet and how they were both perfectly fine with a one night stand, until they weren’t. Both of them wanted more, but with their pasts, neither were really ready to make a go of a more permanent relationship. So they figure why not continue as is? But we know how that usually turns out don’t we?
I loved their back and forth banter and their chemistry is so steamy the pages melted! I hoped throughout this story that they could both come to terms with their pasts and move on. But when strange things start to happen in Halle’s life, can they figure out what is going on and get on with their lives? My heart is full and I loved everything about this book!!
A beautiful love story that combines, heartbreak, Loss, a little mystery and an agreed upon one night stand that turns into a story you can’t put down. The Angst level is just perfect too. Jonah and Halle were both a bit of hot messes from their pasts, but they came together and found love again. This was my first book by J. Saman but won’t be my last.
I don’t like continued books.
