REVIEW CONTAINS SMALL SPOILER
Madam Temptress was the perfect conclusion to Magnolia and Moses’ story! I loved them and loved the parts from Kiera and Mount’s perspective was just a sweet little bonus!
I can’t wait to see what Meghan has for us next!!!
What an exciting ending to Magnolia and Moses’ story!
I absolutely loved book one and when we got to the ending i was already needing the second half.
This book picks up exactly where we’re left in book one, you jump right back in like you never left Moses or Magnolia at all.
I love the undivided love Moses has for his woman, he literally makes me swoon the whole time.
Magnolia i love so much, she’s so strong, she likes to hold her head up and not let people see what turmoil she’s going through but you also see what a strong man behind you can do.
I seriously love this Duet so much and the fact you get to see Mount and Kiera really puts the cherry on top of the cake!
Looking forward to whats to come next! I’m hoping its about a certain man that really caught my eye.
Moses & Magnolia
I really loved this couple so much they just fit together and I loved that she is finally finding her happy ever after and I really love that that he always wants to protect form all the stuff that keep happening in her life and I really hate that the detective was so ready to put everything that was happen on her. And I can’t wait to read the next book if it’s as good as this book is I’m going to love it so much. And I really hope that we get a book for Rhodes because I really want to read a book about him so bad.
I love everything Meghan March. I have been waiting anxiously for this book to come. I have to say I was a little disappointed with the big secret. I expected it to be something awful to cause a major fight. Other then that as per usual Meghan did not disappoint. I am so obsessed with Magnolia and Moses. Their connection is intense and they cannot keep their hands to themselves. I definitely don’t mind that because their sex is hot especially with all the dirty talk. I don’t know what it is about Moses but every time he calls her “Mama” it turns me on! I love that even though she has Moses to protect her Magnolia isn’t going to just cower and sit back idly. This persona she created for herself is really who she is and she is one strong ass woman. Awesome job as usual Meghan March!
I wrote this review based on an advance reading copy that the publisher sent me.
Speechless. When I read the ending to this mind-blowing duet, I just sat there. Stunned. It was epic and beautiful and perfect. And I CRIED! I don’t usually do that. Meghan March nailed it.
Madam Temptress was memorable! 4 stars
Wow, what a memorable conclusion to Moses and Magnolia’s story! In the beginning of this book, we get a glimpse of the perilous moment Moses and Magnolia met. After that glimpse, we get back to present time and find out the answer to our question from the end of book one. I loved that Moses and Magnolia were truly a team in this book, and they love each other because they get each other and spark each other to life. As the tension was amped up to find a solution to their problem, it eventually boiled over to a finale that shocked me and emotionally wrecked me. Then I took a moment, took a calming breath, wiped my tears away and finished this book with a smile on my face. This was an emotionally packed conclusion to Moses and Magnolia’s story that I will never never forget!
*I received an advanced copy of this ebook for my honest review.*
What another stunning conclusion to another fantastic duet. Madam Temptress picks up right where Creole Kingpin left off. We learned the secret that Moses has been keeping from Magnolia and I was on pins and needles to finally know what it is and how she would react. If you’ve read any of this author’s books, you already know that you have nothing to worry about, but you also know about the twists and turns and a whole range of emotions you will feel throughout the book.
In book 1, I already felt like Moses had redeemed himself but in this book he surpassed that and I fell completely in love with him! His feelings towards Magnolia is fierce and so strong and absolute. He is willing to do whatever he has to keep her safe. My admiration towards Magnolia also has increased so much. We already knew what a bada$$ she is, but she is that and so much more. She has gone through so much in her life and had to do whatever she had to to survive. These two were perfect for each other, the love they feel for one another is strong and this definitely helped them get through everything they go through in this book.
We not only have two amazing main characters in Moses and Magnolia, but the reappearance of Mount and Kiera made this book so much more. I forgot how scary Mount could be, especially when there is danger toward his friends, his city and most especially his family.
Overall the Magnolia duet was awesome, filled with the nail biting suspense, intense chemistry, tears and the all consuming love.
Meghan March’s second in the Magnolia Duet sees reunited lovers Moses and Magnolia trying to find out who is after Mags while they reconcile their past. Moses is determined to have nothing come between him and the love of his life ever again and Magnolia is fighting to stay with Moses while still protecting everyone within her sphere.
There is no denying that Meghan March knows how to write about love and romance. Her stories of tough alpha men with soft centers (some only for their women) and her smart, strong women who tame them never fail to satisfy. Her mixes of love story and action are always well-balanced and have the heat to make the read steamy without being too much. Madam Temptress is no different. Her Magnolia is a woman of resilience with a spine of steel and a heart as big as the Mississippi. Moses is the type of hero is built to be the perfect match to the heroine. He got a shaky start in life like Mags but rose above to become the man he is meant to be and one that deserves her.
If you read Creole Kingpin, grab this immediately and dive in to find out how Mags and Moses turn Lachlan’s world upside down while setting everything to rights. If you were waiting to binge, time to find a comfy spot cause you will not want to stop once you start.
OMG!!! Wow, by far the most exciting, heart pounding book!! I mean full blown heart palpitations! Holy smokes what a wild ride! And such a soothing ending! Phenomenal read! Meghan March has truly outdone herself! This one definitely needs a warning label! Gahh!! No amount of emphasis needed on how exciting this book truly was! Just phenomenal!!
Action packed stunning conclusion. Lana-White Hot Reads
Once again Meghan surely knows how to write twist and turns that you don’t see coming. Magnolia and Moses are in the fight of their lives. These two together complete each other whole. I love that we got a glimpse of Mount as a daddy. And the ending was perfect.
I just love Magnolia and Mason as a couple! This book ramps up the mystery of who is after Magnolia and shows how Mason will step up his game to keep his woman safe. There’s so much chemistry between Magnolia and Mason, he’s super sweet and will make you swoon. She’s super sweet too and so seriously strong. These two are so awesome together!!
Loved seeing Kiera and Mount and their baby girl too. Having two hot alpha men in same room *sigh* yeah, loved that too! Loved the suspense, the romance, the sweet moments and the oh no!! moments too.
4.5 stars
Gah, I love it when characters communicate.
I was so worried at that ending in Creole Kingpin. What kind of secrets was Moses keeping? Would this ruin his second chance with Magnolia?
Ahhhh, dear readers, nothing to worry about. Meghan has it covered.
Madam Temptress was an epic end to their duet, full of suspense, thrills, and heartfelt emotion. Magnolia and Moses together was pure soulmate material – sizzling chemistry, entertaining dialogue and rapport, and a swoon-worthy connection.
The Magnolia Duet was a hell of a ride. Meghan’s stories just keep getting better and better.
Wow, this series was awesome. Meghan you did wonderful again. This was a page turning story. It had some awesome POVs in a few chapters and I appreciated that so much. Thank you Meghan. I know many of your readers are going to lose their minds when they see who is speaking. Like usual we got a nice visit from other characters in the NOLA world. I can’t wait to see what else 2020 has in store for you! I adored getting to witness more Mount & Kiera and you know who but also can we please get Rhodes story like now??? I need more details on him and don’t hold back on the dirty ones I’m so happy Mags & Moses got their story and even if I might’ve saw the ending coming; I was still enthralled with it everything about this series is epic and the NOLA world you’ve built is unforgettable.
I genuinely don’t know how she does it.
Every book is soooo good!
Every single one.
Madam Temptress is no exception!
This book picks up where book 1 left off.
There’s so much in the duet.
Lots of Kiera & Mount too.
It has intrigue, heat, love, murder, mayhem, kidnapping and so much more!
I highly recommend! I cannot wait to read Rhodes books (psst: hint Ms March. I hope you’re writing him at some point)
Meghan March
Moses Gaspard. Yes, it’s that Moses. If you want to know more about him, you can visit the Legend trilogy. But really this is all you need to know.
Fifteen years ago he made a costly mistake, pissed off the wrong powerful man, and eventually left town. But he also spent two weeks of that time falling for Magnolia Maison. But he had to go and she had to stay. He never meant to be gone that long, but taking care of loose ends and making something of himself took longer than he planned. But now he is back, determined to win her back, and his secrets are going to have to be shared. And he has to hope that Magnolia will be able to accept him so he does not lose her again.
But there is a new worthy opponent and events in play that threaten to take her away from him as well. And they are living in limbo unable to move on until they solve the most important mystery of their lives. Everything is on the line. They will have to use all of their tricks, resources, and friends to help figure out and diffuse the situation. No one is safe. Nothing is guaranteed. It will be the fight of their lives.
I love Magnolia and Moses together. They have such fun rapport, chemistry, and this unshakable bond and understanding. Moses is determined, protective, possessive, intelligent, and will do anything for her. He is the strong, confident, alpha hero that Magnolia has always needed by her side. And she is the only woman that he could never forget and can keep him on his toes. They could have everything ahead of them, but someone wants to take it all away. Things are heating up in NOLA and it’s going to be an intense, nervewracking, and scary ride for these two.
Will someone have to make the ultimate sacrifice for love?
These two books can stand-alone as a duet, but I also enjoyed cameos from old friends and meeting some new ones that I hope we see in the future.
Madam Temptress starts where Creole Kingpin left off. Magnolia is angry that she’s been lied to by Moses. We find out what that lie was. Magnolia is still being hunted by a ghost wanting revenge. The cops and feds want to talk to her, people keep dying, and they assume Magnolia is involved. I absolutely love the dynamic between Magnolia and Moses. She is a strong woman who knows when to take a step back and let Moses handle things. I was surprised this was a 2 book series since most end up being trilogies. Meghan did an excellent job with this series!
Madam Temptress.. is EPIC!
The second half of this duet will blow you away. Moses and Magnolia’s story will suck you right in. There are twists and turns that you are definitely not expecting. You will feel a wide range of emotions as it all plays out. I laughed, I cried and may have chewed off a few fingernails. This book was EPIC in every way and a big CHECKMATE for Miss Meghan March!!
What a perfect conclusion to an amazing story!!!! This had it all, I cringed at the rawness of the violence, I sobbed at the injustice against the innocent, and I hoped for the goodness of the love of the people involved with each other. The full range of emotions are stark in this story, and the people displaying them are not part of polite society; They feel it, they show it, and in full force. They have imprinted on my psyche, and their stories are on my soul now, and I wish them all the best, and all the rest they deserve
