Tempt Me

Written by Tara Wyatt

Narrated by Scarlett Dorian and Patrick Zeller

From bestselling author Tara Wyatt comes a forced proximity, age gap, grumpy/sunshine, mafia romance with mega touch her and you die vibes.

Violent, ruthless, and obsessed, Killian Byrne is a man who rose from the ashes of chaos to make a new life for himself. One in which he does what’s needed to protect the city he’s come to love, even if that means a life of loneliness. He’s damaged and scarred after years as a mob enforcer. Broken. And that means he’s better off alone.

But then he meets Whitney Vanek, a woman who is sunshine to his storm clouds, light to his darkness. She’s everything he can never have.

Over the years, his obsession with Whitney grows, until finally the temptation to make her his proves too much for Killian, especially knowing that Whitney’s life is in danger and he’s the only man who can keep her safe.

Outspoken, charming, and confident, Whitney Vanek has never met a man immune to her charms—until Killian.
And she tries to convince herself that she doesn’t care that he doesn’t want her. He’s broody, grumpy, and more than ten years older than her.

But she can’t deny the chemistry between them despite their differences. And when her estranged father resurfaces, putting her life in grave danger, there’s only one man who can protect her.

[Dorothy Epps · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The book was great. It was fun and serious at the same time. I loved it.

[Dale Murphy · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was the best book I have ever listened to
I’m going to listen to more of her books

[Michelle Reb · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I struggled finishing this book. I think it was a combination or narrators & the way it was written. It definitely had potential - I preferred the first 2/3. 2nd book in this series I’ve read. I was wondering why I hadn’t read this one straight after the last

[Kim Johnson · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This was an all right read, but I think I’ve realized I am never going to be a mafia alpha-hole fan club member. Also, there were some editing issues that pulled me out of scenes or didn’t really make sense.

The audio narration was great though and the male narrator really had a lot of emotion in his voice which was nice as it wasn’t just gruff and grumbly

Love it so so so so so soooooo much its crazy

[abeermehilba · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

nope, just nope.
I am usually someone who powers through and listens to a book just to finish it. but this was way too cringe for me. The narrators have a pleasant voice, but when you get to the sex scenes... OMG .. NOOOOO!!!

so yeah I had to drop it half way through, I just can't.
I'd rather listen to my cat meowing in the hallway all day.

I love a good mafia romance with some great spicy scenes, but the female portrayal of the male lead was so so bad. She sounds like she’s straining and constipated. She gives the male lead an awful accent also which doesn’t match the male narration. The male narrator did a great job. She did well as the female, but her narration of the male character really took this book down for me.

[ashley Greene · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This one is good as I expected, but the female narrator keeps wheezing every other word during the spicy scenes, and it reminds me of an asthma attack. Not sex...at all ? Had to take away a star

[Kimi · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Storyline was nice but the female narrator sounded like she was hyperventilating during sex scenes. Beyond irritating. Would have given more stars but for her.
