I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to more. With lots of action, drama, family issues, love, passion, and some humor, I did not want to stop listening to the beginning of this series. Sabrina and Roman were hot together, good for each other, and a bit defensive. It was interesting to get the characters’ backstories. With Sabrina and Roman’s HEA, the reader was shown the way to the next story. The narrator, Sonja Field, was excellent in getting the emotion across as well as giving life to quite a few characters. I recommend this story.
I received a copy of the audiobook as a prize, and this is my unsolicited review.
It’s been a while since I read any paranormal romance that’s not written by JR Ward and I’d forgotten how much I truly love this genre. All the drama, alphas with dark secrets and strange powers, and of course the steamy stuff. Yes, please.
Well, Tempted has reminded me why I need to read a lot more of it. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters are well drawn and super hot, the plot is action packed, the HEA is satisfying, and I’m intrigued enough by the ending to keep going with the series.
A fun read. I’m really glad I found this author and title.
So much awesomeness! This book is really fun to listen to and with the way it ended I will definitely be listening to the next soon.
This is the first book that I’ve read by Brenda Tetreault but it won’t be my last. I absolutely enjoyed reading Tempted: A Nightshade Novel. I loved the paranormal aspic, the storyline and most of all the characters. I found the love and passion between Roman (a Damphir, half human/half vampire) and Sabrina (human but turns out to be a faery) very compelling and all the trials that they had to go through to find their happy every after an amazing adventure. I found the story intriguing from beginning to end I was sorry to see it end and I can’t wait for book two. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to read it all, action, adventure, paranormal, and a fantastic love story that you wont regret giving this book a chance.
I really enjoyed this book! The story is amazing! I love how it’s not only about the two main characters. We meet a lot of people in here. They all have stories. We get a little insight into each. This ones main two were Sabrina and Roman. I was surprised and shocked a couple times while listening to this. I’m not going to say what but paranormal is a favorite genre of mine and I thought I had seen it all. This one is a bit different.
I enjoyed almost all the secondary characters. They each added to the main story as well as having a little something on the side. I hope some of them get their own stories.
I did listen to this on audio. Sonja Field Is the narrator. She did a good job. My only wish is she would speak a bit louder for the men’s voices. Sometimes Roman was hard to hear.
Vampires, Fey and gods…. Oh, my!!
A friend of mine said to me one day “Hey, can you read this book for me?” It was downhill from there! What a wonderful first book in a series! It truly laid down a lot of ground work to continue it in other books. It was imaginative and also real… set in modern times and relatable in many aspects.
Sabrina Donahue is a rebellious socialite trying to escape her less-than-there wealthy parents. They are emotionally cold, distant and abusive mentally. Sabrina can’t help but to be rebellious to gain their love and attention.
Enter Roman. Sexy, alpha, every-girl’s-dream guy and club owner. The cast of characters around Roman are rich in “character”, moral codes and other-world abilities. Oh, and don’t forget a scheming Mother! She makes me want to throw my kindle.
Roman and Sabrina’s world’s collide drawing Sabrina into the magic, mystery and life & death of the super natural. She begins a journey of self-discovery that tears her down and builds her back up stronger than ever. Ms. Tetreault wrote Sabrina in a very real way, some of her actions were a bit far-fetched, but I could truly identify with how she wrote her. She nailed down the caught between worlds of humanity, family and the supernatural capturing Sabrina’s feelings spot on of not really belonging anywhere and then beginning that journey of discovery.
I highly recommend this first in a series. It lays a lot of groundwork for the rest of the books, however it doesn’t leave you on a cliff at the end. I feel it could be read as a stand-alone, but when it’s this good, do you really want to stop at just one?? I know I lost a bit of sleep and the characters stayed with me when I wasn’t reading it = book hang over!! Provided for an honest review. 5 stars. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
