Tempted
is one of those books that just can’t be pinpointed down. It has the label “An Erotic
Novel” on the cover but I would just call it ‘fiction with a strong
erotic content’. It is certainly not a romance or romantica for the
ending is very bittersweet. I wouldn’t even call it erotica because I
dont think the sex scenes are as much titillating as they are organic
to the story.
What it is tho is a well-written book with a raw honesty that packs
a wallop. When I write well-written, I dont mean it as in Hart is a
great stylist. She isnt. Rather, she is a very good storyteller who
writes with brutal purpose. Real life is messy and beautiful, an
implacable tide that ebbs and flows. That’s what Hart shows in her
novel.
I am
grateful that I read it if for no reason than that it got me out of the
reading doldrums. I admired it; I didn’t love it. I doubt that I will
be reading more Hart in the future because ultimately she wasn’t my
cuppa.

Did you read the first two
Did you read the first two books? They were better than this one in my opinion. I liked this book and found the last 1/4 of the book much more interesting. The other two books at least had more of a story to them.
I wouldn't write off Hart until you read the first two books, Dirty and Broken.
