Lead me into temptation…

***Raven***
Attraction
Temptation
Danger
Gage Hunter is a temptation no woman should have to fight. He’s sexy as sin and more appealing than the apple in The Garden. I’ve tried resisting him, but ended up running right back into his arms every time. He says he’ll wait for me, but with danger lurking around every corner, I may not make it to my birthday.
Do I trust him to protect me or do I play it safe, knowing losing him would be another kind of death?

***Gage***
I’m not a good man. My life is complicated, and even though being with me puts Raven in constant danger, I can’t stay away from her. I will protect her at all costs. She will be mine.
This fight with temptation is one I don’t mind losing.

Intended for mature audiences. These books explore serious themes that may be considered triggers for some.
Book 2 of 3, plus a novella, in Gage and Raven’s story. Reading order:

    Gage is the President of the Death Dealers MC. Not a touchy feely kinda guy unless you count when he is smacking someone around. He is also not a relationship kind of man. He has enough on his plate without adding a woman to the list. He is a hit it and quit it type of man. Then he saw Raven. The beautiful young temptation. He is drawn to her like no other woman he has known. He knows she is young but only a little while longer and he can have what he is not strong enough to walk away from.
    Raven has not had an easy time the last few months. She only has to wait a few short weeks until she is eighteen and she can leave. While she is biding her time to leave she finds her a cute boyfriend to spend her down time with. Everything is going fine until she sees Gage and then meets the bad boy or man is a better word. He is older and hot. The decision is taken out of her hands on who she should choose and the rest is a whirlwind.
    Gage and Raven want each other. Raven has never felt this way before and actually Gage is trying to handle a lot of new emotions. One is the overwhelming need to protect Raven. Raven throws herself into being with Gage. She throws caution to the wind and to be with Gage. It is not long until she is caught in the crosshairs of a cat and mouse game that involves a team trying to take Gage out.
    This is refreshing and a new approach to a mc novel. I loved the way the book picked right up where the last left off. I loved the part where Raven and Gage were not put on a backburner for a new couple. Their storyline is not over yet. This was a one sitting book for me and I loved every minute of it.
    Note: This is not a standalone. You need to read Forbidden before you read Tempted. This is a continuing story.

    Sigh...I really liked the first book and although it was frustrating at times, I was hoping we would get some resolution and progression of storyline.
    Nope...more of the same foreplay, teasing, attempted attacks on the virginal Raven and no HEA for her and Gage...yet.
    The cliffhanger ending was not a complete surprise (and I'm guessing I think I know who is behind the tragic events of the end of the book) but again we are left hanging with very little movement in the story and history repeating itself for Gage.
    I don't have much else to say except I was disappointed and although the chemistry between Raven and Gage was thrilling and exciting to read, I just really wanted more.
    Guess we have to wait yet again, for the next book and I'm hoping the story finishes for this couple as there are several more who deserve their own books.

    In this book Ravens sister fights with her because she feels Ravens stole Gages affection from her even though Gage has told her he wanted Raven not her. Raven and Gage's relationship matures, grows, is nurturing and explosive throughout this series. They confide in each other and become more dependent upon each other. The local Sherriff is out to get Gage and he actually goes to Ravens work to harass her and try and get her to point the finger at Gage. At the end of the story Raven is attacked and ends up in the hospital Gage is at her bedside very upset and when the Sherriff comes into the room and ask Raven what happened she calls Gage to help her and the Sherriff arrests him even though Gage told him that she was just call for him to help her, the sheriff tells him that he is not going to get away with it although Gage had nothing to do with the attack The Sherriff has it in his mind that Gage is guilty regardless of what really happened. This was a great story which builds and leaves you with a cliffhanger and wanting to read more

    OMG!!! I don’t know even how to express how much I freaking LOVED this book!!! Each one just gets better and better and definitely leaves wanting so much more!! I can’t wait to read the next to see what happens!!!!!

    Tempted is book two in the Death Dealers MC series. I don’t even know how to describe how good it is!! I know that is was going to end in a cliffhanger but the ending of this book surely surprised me, definitely not what I saw coming!! I’m so looking forward to book three to see how the situation plays out.

    I love Gage and his bad boy demeanor and how he has a softer side just for Raven. The chemistry between them is incredible! They both have intense feeling for each, with Gage battling feelings he swore never to feel and Raven surprising him at every turn with showing him how strong, loyal and dedicated she is. I love how he wants to take care of her and claim her as his but within limits till she turns 18. I was kept on the edge of my seat thinking that they were going to finally give into the temptation. Finally the big day arrives and Gage has gone out of his way to make sure that her birthday is special by planning a birthday party but to finally claim her to the fullest. But unforeseen events happen and leaves us hanging! Book three in the series can’t come soon enough!!

    Wow! I’m beyond ecstatic that I stumbled on this series. Book 2. Wow. Like the first, I was still hooked and eager to continue reading waiting to find out what happens. All the feels it gave me were perfect. Happy, sad, surprised, shocked and many others, are what I’m still feeling. I NEED to continue on to book 3 right now! It’s an amazingly written book with amazing characters and storyline. It has everything you want to read in a book and more. I highly recommend this series to everyone that wants to read an amazingly written book.

    3.0 out of 5 stars ONE BIG FLAW
    Reviewed in Canada on March 25, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This writer is a natural! Her writing style is inviting and enables the reader to feel like they're in the room and can see the layout and the people and hear the tunes coming over the speakers. The dialogue back and forth, for the most part, flows and is what you'd expect in that scenario but the one fatal flaw in her approach is the amount of sex that she visits upon us as we read. I believe she's using all that sex to fill up the pages. The description of the sexual acts in progress, goes on and on and on for pages at a time, then they have dinner and back to the sex again. It's unnecessary and bothersome. I've found myself having to flip through the pages until it's done and we can move into the next part of the story. At the end of the book, the author asks for a ''spoil free'' review. When I give a review, I do so based on my own analysis of how it struck me and affected me; I do not base it on an authors bold request to give her 5 stars.

    This book follows on from book 1, and we feel the tension and frustration from Raven and Gage. The build up to Ravens birthday, her sisters venom, the attack... Will they ever get a break? I look forward to book 3.
