Creole Kingpin, the first book in the Magnolia duet ended with a cliffhanger and left us with questions. Madam Temptress continues with where we left off. These two are older and have matured whilst apart. Theyre not wasting any time and know exactly what they want. I loved the effortless plans, their love and trust in their relationship and commitment for their future. Whatever uncertainty they felt about their relationship in the last book was eradicated by their sheer determination. I loved reading a hero like Moses who kept showing his devotion to Magnolia through his actions.
Although a little slow to begin with, it picked up quickly. It mentioned their 15 years apart too often. Seeing Mount with his daughter was one of my favourite parts of the book. It makes me want to reread the Mount trilogy. Other characters from previous series such as Temperance and Rhodes are also mentioned. I wonder if Rhodes will get his book? The action in this book was like a sucker punch to your chest. It came out of nowhere and hit the mark.
I loved the conclusion to this duet. I’ve been waiting to read about Magnolia and Moses since we finished the Legend series. I have always been intrigued by Magnolias character so when I heard Meghan March had written a duet about her I was overjoyed. This book did not fail to hold up to the standard of the first book in my opinion. The last 20% of the book was epic. Pick up this duet if you like strong heroines, alpha males, and second chances.

WOW! Just wow. What a conclusion to the Magnolia Duet!!! Suspense, sacrifice, and passion.
The book starts right at the cliff hanger of Creole Kingpin. I love how Moses wants to handle any and every obstacle head-on. He is willing to fight for and fight with Magnolia and their relationship. He also supports her without overstepping her strength and conviction. Constantly showing her that he can be her partner and champion.
In Creole Kingpin I wanted more of Mags and Ke-ke. Not only did March gives us more girl time in Madam Temptress, and we also got more of the dark alpha, Mount. *epic swoon for the Ruthless King*
The ending … it was action-packed. It was suspenseful. It was epic. It can’t really say anything else because I don’t want to give away any spoilers. What I can tell you is that after I finished the book I was in shock. But I was also intoxicated with the strength and fortitude of the heroines. March can undoubtedly write some amazing alpha heroes but it’s the incredible heroines that draw me back story after story.
I have bought these book from Ebook on Google
I love the trilogy..Mount,Keira.
.mag.now I’m looking forward to finding more..
The conclusion of the Magnolia Duet was just as entrancing as the beginning! Moses was most definitely the man to show Magnolia that she was priceless and show her the future she never let herself dream of. I love this world and hopefully we get to see more of it in the future. There are some secondary characters who seem to deserve a happily ever after as well.
Magnolia and Moses. Mags and Mo, Mama and Moby Dick. Theirs is a special HEA. Fifteen years in the making with hurdles galore. Hurdles because of the choices they’ve made in life, which seem insur-Mount-able ( Mount).
Magnolia has not had an easy or typical life. She’s been beaten down by her bitter aunt, Rafe, Moses and life in general. She’s moved on and has a home and job that no cop should ever question her about. Until…danger strikes and she’s fighting for her life and the she sees him. Her past. Her fiery attitude flying, she is not giving in to him. She needs no man; no one! But his actions speak so loudly and they’re talking straight to her heart. And “Ho-it-all” just keep sassin’ her!
Moses is here for her. She’s his one. He will protect her at all costs and whomever is after her better be prepared to die. This ghost has been killing and he’s after his Mags. What a team! Mount and Moses! I mean Kiera and Magnolia have always been a team. But Mount and Moses?! Guns and threats are flying! No one is dying today!! The teamwork to take down the killer is mother short of spectacular and has my jaw dropping!
The ending! It’s not what I had expected or even wanted for Magnolia and Moses. Yet, it’s perfect. So very perfect.
Love is like a game of chess, one wrong move and you’ll lose your Queen…
Oh Mama, you slayed me. Magnolia brought her A-game in the conclusion of this duet. A kick ass siren in stilettos, she has all the grit and pluck to take down and destroy anyone who screws with her loved ones.
Moses has put all his cards on the table to Magnolia. He wants her in his life forever no ifs ands or buts. They unite together with such power and strength you would not want to cross their path. The suspense in this book nearly slayed me. The way Moses is with Magnolia pulled at my heartstrings constantly. Also Mount, Keira and their daughter Aurora had an important part in this story. To witness Mount’s softer side? Who knew. It was a delight to experience. If you like a book that keeps you on the edge of your seat and captivating sexy romance, this story is for you.
There’s never a dull moment in The Big Easy!
No matter how hard you want to dislike him, you can’t resist the charm of Moses Gaspard. And by the end of the conclusion to this story you’ll wonder how you could have ever doubted his amazingness in the first place. This man is alpha and protective, and will stop at nothing to keep Magnolia safe. It’s a complete opposite to the softer sides we see of him, the ones where he’s funny, sweet, and gentle.
Magnolia is the strongest heroine I’ve seen in a long time. She’s unapologetic for her past and will stop at nothing to get her future. But underneath her tough girl facade is a vulnerable woman who struggles with her sense of self-worth. Her complex personality makes her relatable.
Meghan March has a way of taking seemingly unlovable people and making you fall hard for them, and that’s exactly the case with Moses and Magnolia. Their story did not disappoint. And not only do we get an amazing love story in this book, we get suspense and intrigue too. I highly recommend this one. It checks off all the boxes for me.
If I could give this book all the stars I would!!! I looooved it so much! I was hooked from the very first paragraph and didnt want to put it down! It was a suspenseful fast paced read! Well done Meghan! This summed up Magnolias story perfectly!
Received an arc for an honest review
Once again, Meghan March delivers! I had a hard time putting this book down.
I didn’t choose this path. No one would. I played the cards I was dealt. The life made me. The city made me. I won’t apologize for who I’ve become. Moses wouldn’t have me any other way. What can I say Meghan March does again with this second book and the conclusion to Magnolia and Moses’s story and this story line had everything from drama, action, suspense to love, sweetness and burning hot sex. The characters have such a steamy chemistry that burns between them it scorches the pages. All over this was a great read and one that truly enjoyed.
And here we have it. An epic conclusion to The Magnolia Duet. And believe me when I’ll said it “Madam Temptress” is a conclusion we’ve all been waiting and counting for. After ending “Creole Kingpin” and while reading this book I was trying to figure out all connections and ways that past caught up with our beloved characters. All the questions were answered, many secrets saw the light of day and we were almost like a part of exquisite game of cat and mouse until few last pages of the book.
A the end of book one both Magnolia and Moses looked as they finally found their happiness after fifteen years of being apart if not for the hitman who was determined to destroy them, especially Magnolia and he wouldn’t stop at nothing. However Moses will try with all his wits and power to protect his woman. We’ll see some familiar faces who we loved since Mount trilogy when they face their own danger too and believe me when I say you won’t be able to put your readers or books down. Who will win? Will Moses succeed or maybe the hitman? Will Magnolia and Moses get their HEA or maybe Magnolia will have to spent her life in prison? If you want to find out you need to read this amazing conclusion.
“Madam Temptress” is a book that has all the things love and was counting for explosive, thrilling, suspenseful story with a hint of sexiness, amazing alpha male and strong, badass heroine. This book as well as whole duet is your next must read. You will thank me later.
OMG!
Storyline? Bomb!
Characters? Bomb!
Characters’ Names? Beautiful Bomb!
Happily Ever After?! Hell Yes!
Overall Rating – .5
My head was in a complete spin with Magnolia and Moses’ conclusion, so much action, a few twists and even a moment of sadness.
The books starts with a flashback to the night Magnolia and Moses met, it’s a little harrowing to begin with but when Moses comes into it he takes care of the situation and shows a gentle softer side, which I always love in a hero.
We then pick up where book one finished and Magnolia is trying to deal with the revelation that Mount drooped and what she thought she knew about Moses was a lie.
What I loved about this book is how strong the heroine is. Magnolia had to grow up quick to take care of herself so a man coming in and trying to take over ain’t going to wash with her. I loved how determined she was and that she became part of the team and was a great alpha female!
One of the best things about this book is that daddy Mount plays a good part in it and for me, Mount is one of my favourite March men. He’s got such a presence on the page and it only makes me want more of him!
So much was packed into this book with a good amount of heat. I said it earlier, but I love a hero who supports his heroine and Moses certainly worships the ground Magnolia walks on and would do anything for her. This is a great suspense and thrilling read that March fans will love!
ARC received for an honest review – thank you

**Audio Review**
I am left speechless with this book two of the Magnolia Duet. As much as I truly enjoyed book one, Creole Kingpin, I couldn’t listen fast enough with Madam Temptress. I just had to know what was gonna happen next and I was completely thrown for a loop each and every time a twist was thrown in. So damn good!!! Magnolia is one of the strongest, most bad a** heroines I have ever met!!! She is bold and intense and won’t take crap from anyone, not even Moses. However she had Moses wrapped around her finger from the very first moment they met. Utter perfection this conclusion to their story. I was also quite taken with the supporting characters from her best friend and hubby to their security. Overall this audio is a must listen to right NOW!!!!
The performance by Joe Arden and Erin Mallon was impeccable as always. They did May voices and each were perfect and different. They made this story even more intense and dark and I am so glad I got to listen as opposed to read this story. It’s all just that good!!!!
Oh my gosh, seriously one of the best endings I’ve read. I don’t think I was ready for where this story took me. I devoured this book in 1 freaking day!!!!!
Okay, so Magnolia and Moses are back trying to find their happy ending. We’ve heard the saying nothing worth having comes easy, that’s the perfect saying for these two.
There’s a lot of suspense in this story. Whose this person chasing Magnolia? What’s the big secret Moses is hiding? As the things begin to unravel, the strength of every relationship is tested.
I think Meghan March did a great job, keeping things interesting throughout. No lagging pages, you couldn’t predict any of the plot twists. It’s a page tuner once again with a sweet romance , that tugs on your heart strings.
I can not begin to tell you how much I loved this book. I can’t go into much of the details without giving it away. But I will say this, you will be taken on a ride that you don’t want to get off of. I felt every emotion while reading this one. Moses and Magnolia are perfect for one another, but will they get their happily ever after? You definitely need to read this duet, it is so totally amazing.
4.5 Fantastic Stars!
I loved and enjoyed the witty banter and the connection between Moses and Magnolia! Their chemistry was palpable, with the right amount of passion and sweetness to hold you interest and tug on the heartstrings too.
Outstanding read/listen. The perfect conclusion to such an amazing story. Both narrators did a phenomenal job narrating this duet. An as usual, I’m not giving anything away about this thrilling, and emotional story that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to end.
Madam Temptress is the conclusion that we were waiting for after reading Creole KingPin. We were trying to figure out all of the connections and just how much the past really came back to haunt some our beloved characters. Questions were answered, secrets came to light, and we were thrown into a game of cat and mouse right up until the very end.
This story picked up right where Creole Kingpin ended and we immediately felt the tension and anxiety of what was about to happen. Magnolia and Moses are faced with a secret from their past and in that moment, they have to do what is best for them and go forward because they have much bigger things to worry about. Things are about to get even more crazy when they realize that the level of danger that surrounds them, is about to be amplified even more.
This was a good follow up to this duet and I really liked that it had some surprises as well. These characters were fierce, they protected each other with everything that they had, and they loved wholeheartedly. If you’re a fan of Meghan March’s work, then this sexy duet is not to be missed.
*Arc received for an honest review
Finally the duet is complete, and I must say that it was extraordinaire, love it, this two characters needed their story and she deliver, we got to know them better and how and why they are perfect for each other, the plotline kept me inmy toes while wondering what the next surprise might be, i recommend this one and all her books because she’s an amazing author. P.S. Just so you another of my favorite couples appears on the book and I remember why I love him so much.
Just brilliant!
Fabulous book, loved it from start to finish.
I really love this couple and I really like how compatible they are with each other and how they actually listen to each other rather than extreme reactions and unnecessary drama.
Magnolia really loves him and gives him the chance he needs to be then man that she needs. Moses adores her and it’s shown in everything he does for her.
I love how the story unfold, Mount is just brilliant in it.
This is my my favourite Duet from Meghan, I loved every page.
