Review: Sweet Temptation by Maya Banks

Desciption:
He was a by-the-book cop who broke the rules in the bedroom…

Micah Hudson has painful secrets he’s run hard from. He has new friends, a new life, but he’s about to be confronted with the one person who reminds him of all he’s tried to forget—Angelina, the sister of his oldest friend David. She knows everything about his past, including how he and David fell in love with the same woman, and how they decided the best way to prevent her from tearing them apart was to share her between them. But then a terrible accident left Micah alone…

She was willing to do anything to make him see the woman she’d become…

Micah lost the two people who meant the most in the world to him. Angelina lost her only family. And she kept her deepest secret close to her heart. Her love for Micah. No longer willing to wait, she decides it’s time to go after him and bring him to his knees. She knows his secrets, his desires, his kinks and fetishes, and she’ll use whatever it takes to reel him in. Behind the easy going, loves women exterior lies a man with dark needs and passions. She can give him what he wants. But will he decide she’s what he needs?


Review:
After finishing Sweet Seduction, book 3 in this series I couldn't wait to finally get my hands on Micah's book. It was a long wait for my impatient mind but it was totally worth it.

We finally meet Angelina, Micah's better half. She is a girl form his past and was in love with him for some time now. She is a rather strong woman who lived through a lot in her life. She knows how hard it can be and gave Micah time to battle his inner demons. But when she realizes that the long awaited moment of Micah accepting his past is there she HAS to finally take the lead and get her own not so little Dom. Angelina is a strong woman who knows how much power submitting to Micah gives her over him. She knows what she gets herself into but is unsure if Micah is ready to accept her gift and to let go of the past.


Micah was through all the 3 previous books the character that interested me the most. He was always up to everything but I felt that there was more in his past. Something that made him the way he is- not untouchable in the literal sense but unreachable on an emotional plane. That sounds strange but I don't know how to say it differently. He sneaked into my heart real fast and perhaps that is a reason why I loved this book so much. I definitely recommend to read the previous books before starting Sweet Temptation because Ms. Banks put much work into building the mystery about Micah in those. It makes him so much more in this book.


In retrospection many things happen in this book that are usually a bit too much for me. I don't know why it worked in Sweet Temptation but it did. I never felt really uncomfortable although I was shocked by some things. Yep I still am sometimes. LOL

The relationship between Micah and Angelina is different from the start. I always hoped that Micah would accept what they had but he was stubborn. It was strange to see what he did although he still fought his feelings. I told myself that he already accepted it in his heart and just his head had to do that too but after all he risked Angelina's wellbeing with doing all that while still not really wanting her.

All in all I really enjoyed this book. It made me smile, cry, blush and tingle in all the right places. Highly recommended to all lovers of menage and a really hawt read.

My April Reads

Okay another busy month but it seems I got way more reading done than I thought. Was really surprising to find out it were 12 books? Where did I find the time for that? I have no idea but it was a good month. I love it when I finally get a new book for a series I love and I had some of those in April. Here is what I read: 

1. Darkfever  (Fever #1) by Karen Marie Moning

  
I was kind of disappointed in this book. Not cuz it was bad or anything more cuz so many ppl raved about that series and it was just okay for me. I expected a blast and I only got a good book. Will read the rest of the series for sure tho.


2. Silver Borne (Mercedes Thompson #5) by Patricia Briggs
 
Wow, I adored this one. Loved to read more about Adam in this book and I enjoy every word. Wonderful book and the best so far  in this series.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


3. Succubus Shadows (Georgina Kincaid #5) by Richelle Mead
 
Another book I loved. I adore this series and the book is heart-wrenching, in a good way. Great story with lovely characters. I so want the next book ASAP. (my full review)


4. and Falling, Fly by Skyler White

I will review this one when I'm sure what to say about it. I got a quote from the book that shows who it feels reading this one:

"Some may master their own, but few can resist the taste of another's desire. We're all part vampire in the end."


5. Sweet Temptation (Sweet #4) by Maya Banks

 



I waited so long for Micah's book and I just can say WOW. It was what I expected and so much more. It is really intense and has so mighty hot scenes. Really liked the book.


6. Carson's Night by Teal Ceagh 


 
A nice short paranormal romance- fast paced story and a hawt couple. The story was a bit rushed for my taste but it has definitely potential.(my full  review)


7. Shades of Gray (The Icarus Project #2) by Jackie Kessler & Caitlin Kittredge

I really loved this book. I love the world of superheroes and supervillians. A touching read that brings light to the past of Jet and Iridium. Review to come.


8. Cheat the Grave

(Sign of the Zodiac #5) by Vicki Pettersson
 
I always thought the Sign of Zodiac series was rather dark but this book was even darker. But I liked it nonetheless. Touching story and finally a few more answers to the mysteries we encountered in the past books. Review to come.


9. Diana by the Moon by Tracy Cooper Posey

 
For a change a historical romance. This one has a rough topic but it was handled great. I enjoyed reading it and I think I could really get used to reading this genre. (my full review)


10. Lover Mine (Black Dagger Brotherhood #8) by J.R. Ward

I loved it. It really showed me again why I love this series. I loved John, Xhex and OMG Qhuay. Great book with great characters. Can't wait for the next one.


11. Heart of Darkness (incl. LotU #4.5) by Gena Showalter, Maggie Shayne, Susan Krinard

I only read the Gena Showlater story: The Darkest Angel
I loved it. Bianka is hilarious and I always like an hot angel. Funny and steamy read. Highly recommended.


12. Naked by Megan Hart


You might have noticed that I adore Megan Hart's books and this one was something special for me. It's finally Alex (from Tempted) story and I loved it to pieces. I'm already thinking about a re-read. I loved Alex, no surprise here and I adored Olivia. And the cover is awesome. I so can't wait to get a real paperback copy into my hands cuz the cover is just gorgeous. They don't look like I would picture Alex and Olivia but it's pretty nonetheless. I will so rave…ahem…review this book.

 


That was my reading month. Did you discover any treasures last month?
