It was good。 The story was good。 One think I like about it was that the friends didn't became mean and blurt out about Eden and Nate's s relationship to school which I have seen in most of the books。 And everything was in right amount。 The only thing I found extra were the intimate scenes。 It was good。 The story was good。 One think I like about it was that the friends didn't became mean and blurt out about Eden and Nate's s relationship to school which I have seen in most of the books。 And everything was in right amount。 The only thing I found extra were the intimate scenes。 。。。more
Erin Figueiredo,
I loved this phenomenal sexy story。 It’s a thrilling forbidden/taboo romance that hooked me right from the start and I never wanted it to end。 Eden and Nate consumed and enthralled me with their continual push and pull for dominance and their witty banter。 There is a lot of drama and angst throughout their story that will have you riveted to your seat and its loaded plenty of panty exploding moments that will keep you squirming until the end。 Eden is a fierce young women who has set her sights o I loved this phenomenal sexy story。 It’s a thrilling forbidden/taboo romance that hooked me right from the start and I never wanted it to end。 Eden and Nate consumed and enthralled me with their continual push and pull for dominance and their witty banter。 There is a lot of drama and angst throughout their story that will have you riveted to your seat and its loaded plenty of panty exploding moments that will keep you squirming until the end。 Eden is a fierce young women who has set her sights on Nate and will not be denied。 It’s intense, sexy, steamy and highly explosive。 Highly recommend this story for those that love age-gap and taboo romances – it’s absolutely perfect。 。。。more

Something about this book, had me taking my time, not only when it came to starting to read it but also when I was reading it。 I picked it up and put it down numerous times before I finally found myself hooked and finished it in one go。 Don’t get me wrong once I was hooked I was hooked, but I found myself procrastinating the read a lot which is strange for me。Maybe it was the fact that I don’t often read age gap novels and man do I feel like I have been missing out after reading this one。 Age Ga Something about this book, had me taking my time, not only when it came to starting to read it but also when I was reading it。 I picked it up and put it down numerous times before I finally found myself hooked and finished it in one go。 Don’t get me wrong once I was hooked I was hooked, but I found myself procrastinating the read a lot which is strange for me。Maybe it was the fact that I don’t often read age gap novels and man do I feel like I have been missing out after reading this one。 Age Gap Romance a new trope for me and one I look forward to reading more off。 I also think something about the opening chapter and the trigger warnings may have thrown me off guard but even the darker matters in this book where covered with respect and dignity and there was such knowledge that I had to respect and enjoy the writing。I have never wanted to visit Orange County as much as I do now and I never thought I would want to be 18 again, but you know what if I could find me a man like Nate when I was 18 I would happily go back in time and relive those annoying teenage/young adult years。I recommend giving Sweet Temptation a read, give it some time and space and read it when you are ready, this is one of those books that you read at your own pace and for yourself not because someone is holding a gun to your head。 。。。more

Sweet Temptation is the Debut book of the author Kelly Kelsey and I would say that the author did the fabulous job while writing this。 I don’t usually read Teacher/student- Type of Forbidden Romance book but this was an exception and the book was great! ARC WAS GENEROUSLY PROVIDED FOR AN HONEST REVIEW。

Sweet Temptation is just what the title says - a sweet temptation。 It’s a cute book with just the right amount of angst。 Nate and Eden are immediately drawn to each other, but there are so many obstacles in between them and their happy ever after。 My only complaint is that it does have quite a few editing errors and needs to be professionally edited。 Some of the typos did verge on the confusing side, particularly when referring to times (a few times a。m。 and p。m。 were mixed up)All in all, this i Sweet Temptation is just what the title says - a sweet temptation。 It’s a cute book with just the right amount of angst。 Nate and Eden are immediately drawn to each other, but there are so many obstacles in between them and their happy ever after。 My only complaint is that it does have quite a few editing errors and needs to be professionally edited。 Some of the typos did verge on the confusing side, particularly when referring to times (a few times a。m。 and p。m。 were mixed up)All in all, this is a sweet, tempting (see what I did there?) book that’s definitely for fans of age-gap, student teacher romances! 。。。more

Sweet Temptation is the debut novel by Kelly Kelsey。 Eden’s been living with an addict parent, taking care of both of them when her absent father decides to swoop in and "save the day", bringing her to a new town and a new life to redo her senior year of high school。 Eden decides to let off some steam by going to a bar with her fake ID and meets this wonderfully hot man, Nate, with whom she has an instant connection。 And while she doesn’t go home with him, she does give him her phone number。 Eve Sweet Temptation is the debut novel by Kelly Kelsey。 Eden’s been living with an addict parent, taking care of both of them when her absent father decides to swoop in and "save the day", bringing her to a new town and a new life to redo her senior year of high school。 Eden decides to let off some steam by going to a bar with her fake ID and meets this wonderfully hot man, Nate, with whom she has an instant connection。 And while she doesn’t go home with him, she does give him her phone number。 Everything is starting to look up, until she walk into class two weeks later and sees her hot guy, Mr。 Nate Davenport, her English teacher。This book was just freakin’ fantastic! It makes it even more exciting when it’s a debut author and I now have another go-to for a great read。 I’ve read a lot of student/teacher romances, and this one certainly rates up there。 I loved Eden。 She’s not your usual shy, virgin heroine。 She’s hard as nails, knows what she wants, and doesn’t let anyone push her around - not her father and not Nate。 Nate is definitely cocky and confident, but also a sweetie。 He really does try to stay away from Eden, but the attraction and possessiveness makes it difficult for him to resist。 He’s been through a lot, some of which is by the hands of Eden’s father。 Definitely lots of drama going on and super angsty, but not to the point where you felt it was drama for the sake of drama。 The chemistry between Eden and Nate is off the charts from the beginning and their smexy times are smokin’ hot。Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Trope: taboo/studen/teacherAngst: 😰😰😰😰Smexy: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Triggers: parental addiction 。。。more

Sweet Temptation lives up to its title, the storyline is seductive, enticing, and hot。 What I loved about this book is that Kelly Kelsey has added a really good suspense element to Eden and Nate's story。This is an age gap romance, but only 10 years, but Nate is Eden's teacher, the pair had met in a bar when Eden is forced to go and live with her dad, the Dean of a prestigious school where Nate teaches。 This is slight predictability at the start, where Nate thinks Eden is older, but when they mee Sweet Temptation lives up to its title, the storyline is seductive, enticing, and hot。 What I loved about this book is that Kelly Kelsey has added a really good suspense element to Eden and Nate's story。This is an age gap romance, but only 10 years, but Nate is Eden's teacher, the pair had met in a bar when Eden is forced to go and live with her dad, the Dean of a prestigious school where Nate teaches。 This is slight predictability at the start, where Nate thinks Eden is older, but when they meet again there is nothing predictability about the story that unfolds。 Eden is drawn to Nate, but he keeps blowing hot and cold, she hates living with her dad, who abandoned her and her mom years before, leaving behind a broken home, one in which Eden became the main carer for her mom, as she found consolidation in alcohol。 Now Eden's dad has given her the chance by helping her mom but it comes with the price of her having to redo her last year of school at his school。The plot of the story is really cleverly done, Nate also hates Eden's dad, I am not going to give anything away here as to what it was。 The chemistry between the two though can't be stopped, and as they spend time together their feelings for each other grow。 But all is not what it seems and danger is lurking around the corner。 。。。more

You’ll have to read to find out😉。 。。。more
