Turn up the heat with the scandalous final installment in the Filthy Rich Billionaires trilogy by USA TODAY bestselling author Caitlin Crews. This independent woman has found her match…and she can’t get enough! Rory Morton has thrown away her wealthy parents’ expectations to make her own way in the world–she has no time for societal rules or arrogant rich folk. So when she meets her new … her new billionaire boss, Conrad Vanderburg, nobody is more surprised than her by the irresistible chemistry between them.
Rory is a challenging employee at the best of times–but as soon as she and Conrad give in to the intense attraction between them, she becomes tantalizingly submissive and desperate to please. Try as she might, Rory can’t keep her hands off him, and soon she doesn’t want to.
It doesn’t take long for Rory to realize her wild desire for Conrad is more than just physical. His raw hunger for her makes her yield to him completely, yet their electrifying encounters leave her feeling empowered by her own surrender. But can Rory trust him with her heart as well as her body?

This was just an okay read for me. I didn’t feel a connection to either of the characters and I didn’t feel the chemistry I look for in these types of books, this did have a good story though so it did hold my interest.
Conrad has a cleaning service care for his home but has always kept one room locked with specific instructions that no one is to enter that room at any time. Rory is the one that cleans Conrad’s home and has always been curious about what was behind the locked door so when she found it unlocked one day she went inside even knowing she wasn’t supposed to. No surprise there, lol, anyway what she finds is a shocker because she has never seen anything like it before she has only read about it…..
Conrad has been stung before so he doesn’t do relationships and Rory has never dipped her toes into BDSM. But when Rory stumbles upon Conrad’s dungeon while cleaning his home he’s determined to teach her a lesson, one that she won’t soon forget.
This was a quick read that had some very steamy scenes. If you enjoy intro to BDSM stories or Boss/Employee Romances I would recommend this book to you. This is book three in the series but can be read as a standalone which is the way I read it.
Happy Reading!!
Tempt Me by Caitlin Crews is the third novel in her sizzling hot BDSM-centered, Filthy Rich Billionaires series, and it’s the second novel in the series I’ve read. If graphic, BDSM sex isn’t something you care to read about, opt for a different novel, but in the case of this reader, I couldn’t put it down. Although I wish the Harlequin Dare imprint allowed for more length and time to delve more deeply into these characters, as a standalone, intense, and steamy read, this novel gets 4.5 stars from this reader.
Rory Morton moved to Paris and started a home cleaning service for wealthy clients, one of whom lives in a converted church and she’s yet to meet him. He left her 6 pages of instructions, one of which was that she was never to enter the one locked room, but Rory is nothing if not curious, and although she’s tried the doorknob several times, on this particular day it’s unlocked, and she’s fascinated when she enters and looks around because what she finds is s a BDSM playroom/dungeon beyond her wildest imaginings. While it scares her, it also turns her on, but when her mysterious, dominant, billionaire client, Conrad Vanderburg, finds her there, things turn very hot, very fast.
In true Dom fashion, Conrad is intrigued by the lovely, brash, smart-mouthed, young woman, who has plenty of questions for him about that room and his lifestyle, and although she puts on her, “You can’t shock me, I’m an experienced pansexual” facade, Conrad sees right through her and pegs her as a submissive wannabe, and he wants to be the one to show her the ropes, literally and figuratively. As he ferrets out her secrets, he becomes more and more attracted to her, and even though his cold, silent, Dom persona scares her, she’s like a moth to his flame, and flame he does.
Conrad, who we eventually learn has had a broken relationship in his past, has, since then, become a one and done Dominant in the many private Parisian sex clubs he regularly visits, but Rory is different from his usual submissives, and after she challenges him, he gives her her first orgasm with a man, sends her on her way, and he assumes she’ll now look elsewhere, but he is shocked when she shows up at his door, weeks later, asking for “more.” After giving Rory his version of the beginner’s guide to BDSM, that’s exactly what he gives her, a lot more, so have your air conditioner setting turn up to “high” because you’re going to need it.
My only issue with this novel is that it’s brevity makes it necessary for this story to be an insta-love romance, because we’re left wondering what else these two characters have in common to build a relationship upon, or what they see in each other beyond their affinity for hot BDSM sex. Yes, there’s an HEA ending, as expected in any romance novel, but Rory wasn’t the only one who wanted more–so did this reader.
Caitlin Crews is an extremely talented and intelligent writer, but as I stated after reading and reviewing the first novel in this series, I believe her talents would be much better served by a lengthier format, which would give her fans (and I’m one of them), a more deeply explored look at her characters, their past history, and why they are so drawn to one another so quickly. Nevertheless, this was still a sexy, engrossing read, and I’m happy to recommend it.
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this novel The opinions expressed are my own.
Well, that started out innocuously enough and then went to full on hotness! It didn’t let up, and kept that rolling boiling heat cranked all the way up, only leaving us to simmer a little bit, before putting back up to full kelvins again. Yeah, it was that hot, but it also had a very strong emotional attraction as well. The inner dialogues of Conrad and Rory, as well as the snappy dialogue between them, showed so much of the heart and soul of the characters. Definitely opposites attract, and definitely instant attraction, and no room for lies or pity, these two were a joy to read about and will have you squirming in your seat in all the right ways!
