Temptation picks up pretty close to where we left off at the end of Midnight Touch (book 1).
The pack finds Gemma and Shaun and now they must find a way to help them both recover from the horrors Damien had inflicted upon them.
Deacon (I absolutely adore his character) senses something is off with Gemma, the pack is treating her with kid gloves but something is missing from ‘his’ Gemma and he will do everything he can to fix it (Though if you ask him he will adamantly deny this)
Deacon (not that she will admit either have become her world).
Deacon denies his own feelings towards Gemma, rationalizing that it is ‘just the right thing to do’. He also finds she responds best to him when he gets her hackles are up.
Gemma is carrying her own secrets and once they are revealed it may cost her everything – including the safety of the pack and
I love the chemistry and the comical dance of denial these two have.
As the pack looks for answers it seems the mystery only gets more convoluted. As secrets are exposed past beliefs come into question and those they once trusted fall close to enemy lines.
Amidst all the chaos
This is such an intense and exciting series –
The world building is creative and the characters are diverse and entertaining
Oh and I think I know who falls to the mating call next
This is the second book in the Midnight Pack series. It tells Deacon and Gemma’s story and is a continuation of events in Midnight Touch, the first book (which you should also read).
Here, we get a deeper involvement in the story and some all important insight into the reasons behind the villain’s targeting of the Midnight Pack. What is fueling all that hatred? The twists will take your breath away and have you on the edge of your seat with excitement and anticipation. We’re also given a few clues about the Alpha of the pack and his story which is still to come.
L. Ann carries us off into a place where reality dances around the edges of fantasy beautifully. Her words flow, her characters are flawed in all the right ways and their chemistry leaps off the page at you.
A must read for the paranormal romance reader who prefers shifters with brains as well as brawn.
This is the second in the Midnight Pack series. Oh my Gosh I love this series.This was even better than the first one. This is Gemma and Decon’s story but all the other characters are part of the story to. It is dark, twisty and superb story. I can’t wait for the next in this wonderful series.
I received a copy of this from the author Thoughts and opinions expressed are mine alone.
This is the second book in the Midnight Pack series and another gripping story from beginning to end. The romance is incredible, the characters are expertly developed, and their connection keep you turning the pages to see what happens next. This book has much to offer suspense, twists and turns, and plenty of action. A thrilling and action packed PNR romance.
It is rare to find that the second book in the series is even better than the first but that is the case with Midnight Temptation. I do recommend the series be read in order but trust me you won’t go wrong by doing so.
This series offers the reader suspense, action, and an emotional roller-coaster. With strong alpha males and feisty independent women, the story will keep you turning the pages just to see what they will do next. Love how the author has made the females strong yet feminine. And how the alphas know just how much to push them to get them to see their own strength. Can’t wait to see what is next for this Pack.
L. Ann did it, the second book is better than the first.
Deacon is a super hot wolf and a super asshole, or so everyone thinks. Deacon feels very deeply about his pack and his brothers. He doesn’t feel the same driving force to mate and settle down like the other wolves in his pack, but his feelings are supercharged whe he meets and rescues Gemma from a Hunter sect.
Gemma is such a strong character, what was done to her was horrendous but with the love of a super asshole wolf she overcomes and thrives in her new pack.
This is such an awesome shifter / werewolf paranormal romance and it is so worth the read. This trilogy is beyond good and I know the twins are great but I cannot wait to read Big Brother Mac’s story.
I was sent this ARC by the author in exchange for a spoiler free honest review.
This book follows on from the end of book one as Shaun and gemma are rescued.
Gemma’s suffering and guilt at the hands of Damien is building walls which Deacon is determined to break down with his assholeness and bad funny jokes. I love the battle between the couple as they fight themselves and each other. This is an amazing series so far and I can’t wait to read more. I want to learn more about the hunters and what their plans are with the girls and midnight pack.
This book is amazing! Deacon rescues Gemma and while everyone else is tiptoeing around her trying to hold her together like fragile glass, Deacon goes for the kill! He knows what she needs is not to be pieced together gently, but to remember how strong she is. She needs normalcy. Not only does Deacon push past her walls, he shatters and obliterates them. He is just the wolf to help her put herself back together, but he is the glue as well. Deacon has the ability to bring Gemma back from the fog and the edge of insanity just by being Deacon. On top of that, they’ve made some horrible discoveries regarding Damien, Shaun, and Gemma’s family. Deacon, Shaun, and Mac are in some hot water, and the Midnight Pack alphas have overcome some serious obstacles before, but this new piece of information from their world is bigger than anything they’ve faced. I don’t want to give too much away but this book is epic. It is worth picking up and 100% makes you want to keep reading! This deserves 2 thumbs up and 5 stars! Loved it. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one.
This book is edgy, but still a great romance read with all the feels. I really enjoyed it!
What can I say Deacon is just everything and more
I couldn’t wait for this book Deacon and Gemma are my favs in the Midnight Pack. Their story is an emotional ride .Midnight Temptation is book 2 in the series and it’s my favorite ( I love Deacon ) L.Ann has done it again , what a brilliant read you’ll be hooked from the start . Did I mention how much I love Deacon
Another 5 star read! The story continues with a shift of focus on Deacon and Gemma as these two navigate their love/hate relationship. I didn’t know it was possible to love another couple more than Shawn and Cassie but now I do! I know the story isn’t over and I can’t wait for the next addition!
The pages of Gemma and Deacon’s book are filled with emotion. Their story has some hard truths in it. There’s definitely some bits that make a person question what they might do in a particular situation, when things are more gray and not as black and white as they had seemed. Since meeting Deacon I felt that his demeanor was a front to keep people from looking too deep. I was pleased with how this story peeled back his layers and gave more insight into Deacon’s character.
I also liked how Deacon stood by Gemma’s side and in his unconventional but loving way helped her to heal.
Can’t wait to dive into Cormac’s story and find out what happens next.
Midnight Temptation is Book 2 of the Midnight Pack series. I do recommend starting this series with Book 1 as this story picks up where that one left off.
This story was great. Lots of suspense and a few unexpected twists and turns kept me engaged right from the start. Loved the connection between Deacon and Gemma. Even though there were some tragic moments, I thought the author handled it very well and I didn’t feel like it was the main focus of the story. Looking forward to Mac’s story!
