**THIS BOOK CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE**
Ummm...Being BAD Never Felt So Good, especially when reading TEMPTING BAD by M. Robinson. Sinfully sexy and tantalizing!!! That pretty much sums up my feelings when I was reading this book.
Tempting Bad is a spin-off of the VIP trilogy and it chronicles the tale of Brooke, a VIP and Devon, a bar owner. In the previous books, we all got a taste of their distinct personalities. Did we really know them? Well, the answer to that is simple. Looks can be deceiving and behind their strong personalities, lies a facade. One is haunted by a past that continues to haunt his daily life. And one is blinded by hurt, anger, and sex when it comes to opening up her heart to LOVE. Can two broken people who comes from two different sides of the tracks mend their broken hearts and heal each other? They say LOVE can HEAL but is love enough to heal years of hurt and pain.
I know there are readers who are on the fence when it comes to liking Devon. But let me just say, that I actually liked him from the beginning of the series and I was so happy that he finally got his chance to finally have his side of the story of explained. There are two sides to every story and Devon is finally given the chance to be transformed from the misunderstood friend to the hero. Devon's past is truly heart-wrenching and devastating. His past is what makes Devon the way he is now. His tormented past could of have closed off his heart but it didn't. It made him a MAN worthy to be loved and to love.
Brooke, on the other-hand had a complete upbringing than Devon. Her wealthy upbringing and loving family was what every household envied. Loving parents, loving sisters, and a beautiful home. But behind the white picket fence, lies secrets. Secrets that would destroy Brooke once she learned of the truth. They say the truth can set you free but the truth only destroyed Brooke and left her an empty shell. The once happy Brooke who believed in love, fairy tales and prince charming is now left as a woman, who is cynical and doesn't believe in true love. Love is for the weak. Sex is for pleasure. And money and power are the only thing that matters. Or is it?
When Devon meets Brooke for the first time, he is instantly drawn to the feisty blonde bombshell. With sexual tension buzzing between these two, can these two strong personalities get along in and outside of the bedroom. And the answer is YES!!! It's EXPLOSIVE!! That's one way to describe their relationship. It's a game of push and pull when it comes to these two. She constantly pushes Devon to the boundaries when it comes to the sexual energy that she personifies. But Devon sees through Brooke's intentions, and shows her that he can play her game and outsmart her. What this little minx didn't realize was that slowly, he was breaking down the walls surrounding her heart. And what Devon wants is the real Brooke and not Brooke, the V.I.P. And Devon is the only one who can see past the makeup, fancy clothes, and money. He is the only one who can look into her eyes and understand everything behind them. So behind the most beautiful eyes, can Devon unlock the secrets and pain that Brooke hides?
Tempting Bad will tempt you with its heartbreaking, emotional, and of course it sinfully sexy story line. M. Robinson was able to create two broken individuals who are worthy of love and the HEA. Though their relationship is not what you consider the norm, but what relationship is perfect. In life we are all tempted to be bad and sometimes being bad can be justified when it comes to LOVE. When you truly love someone, sacrifices and compromises be made. And Brooke and Devon reminds us all that their LOVE is not PERFECT but their LOVE for each other is what TRULY MATTERS. So what can I say but go read Tempting Bad as M.Robinson will have you emotionally connected to Brooke and Devon.
