Tempted by Eden by Jade May

ABOUT THE BOOK

Two strangers on vacation. One intense attraction. No expectations, other than a night of mind-blowing passion.

Five years later, broke and desperate, Cora finds herself living a double life as she works at a kinky gentlemen’s club by night and as a PR specialist by day. A chance encounter at the club throws Cora into her mystery vacation man’s path once again. But the only problem is… he doesn’t remember her. And to top that, her man is none other than the CEO of Hayes & Meyer Media, James Hayes. Arrogant. Mega rich. And, her new boss.

But Cora isn’t a quitter. And she will do anything to keep her job. She has to. She has people depending on her. All she has to do is stay away from James. Easy, right? If only she could ignore the tempting world of Eden that James has opened her eyes to…

MY REVIEW

As a reader, it’s always a thrill to discover a new author with a debut novel that captures your attention from the very first sexy page. Tempted by Eden by Jade May is one such book that will leave you wanting more.

Despite the challenges that come her way, Cora’s courage and determination shine through as she navigates the world of BDSM and proves herself as a Senior Public Affairs Specialist to her boss, James. It’s not an easy feat, especially considering that James doesn’t even remember their steamy encounter from five years ago and she has a secret that will change his world..

While some of Cora’s choices may seem unprofessional, it’s hard not to admire her strength and conviction when James oversteps his boundaries. James, on the other hand, may come across as grumpy and possessive, but his softer side is revealed as the story progresses. However, it wouldn’t be a complete romance without a grand gesture and groveling as James goes above and beyond to right a terrible wrong. And good for Cora as she stuck to her guns.

One of the highlights of the book is the twist that takes the reader by surprise and adds a new dimension to the story. It’s a testament to Ms. May’s writing skills that the twist doesn’t feel forced or contrived, but rather a natural progression of the plot. The book’s pacing is spot-on, with the right amount of tension and release to keep the reader engaged. The dialogue is snappy and witty, and the characters are well-developed and relatable.

This debut novel is a blend of spicy and funny with just the right amount of angst.

Thank you to Ms. May for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
