Kimberly Logan

The underlying plot could have been ok, but the execution is terrible. Too much purple prose. Absolutely no sense of time period, certainly not Regency, and actions and thoughts do not fit with the period at all. Hardly any character building or relationship development, just basic lust.
The 'detective' work is unbelievable. And why Kimberly is supposed to be a heroine in the end, having saved the hero from the killer, is beyond me. Maybe my copy of the book missed some pages (and some plot).
Overall I don't recommend this one.… (lisätietoja)

Though I was hesitant when I first started reading this book, mainly because the story seemed to move a bit slowly at first, by the time the hero and heroine met for the second time, I was hooked, drawn into the story completely, where I stayed until the very end. And what an ending it was!

Kimberly Logan's The Devil's Temptation is not only a sweet and steamy historical romance, but it's characters are intriguing and the plot is filled with suspense and mystery *Who killed Maura's mother and why? Are they still at large and was Gabriel's father murdered too? Only time will tell...*. Between the love story and the mystery case, you'll find yourself enjoying the book every step of the way. And like me, you will probably want to go back and read her previous books too.

The first book in this series, Sins of Midnight, covers Julian, the older sister's story, while the third one that came out this year, Seduced by Sin, covers the younger sister, Aimee's story. I have not yet read either one, but after reading DT, I am now anxious to read them. Especially Aimee's story, after I read the line at the end of this book, said by the mysterious killer, which said something alone the lines of:
"He'd be fine as long as the youngest daughter didn't remember what happened years ago.."

4.5/5 STARS!! The story is interesting and captivating, the love scenes and connection are both steamy and touching, and the hero, Gabriel, is delicious (Just his name alone... Gabriel...Gabriel...Gabriel! And come on-- his ripped six pack on the cover? Double Delicious!). A very charming, delightful, and sexy story that is filled with mysteries from beginning to end.… (lisätietoja)

Well, I read the blurb on the back and it sounded interesting. A long ago crime, young girl witness who can't remember, now having dreams and starting to remember, needs the protection of a big, strong male. Good premise, huh?

I read it. There were several TSTL moments on the part of the heroine. Someone's tried to kill you twice--so you go for a long walk in a deserted area with just one guard? Uh, no, I don't think so.

He believes he's cursed because his father was an a@#hole and there's been tragedy in his life? Uh, no.

He must not surrender to his love for the heroine because she might die? Hello? Somebody's already trying to kill her...

I finished it. Yay me.… (lisätietoja)
