Tempting Series by Alex Lucian

Hate: to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward. Scarlet Jennings, the preacher’s daughter who lived across the street, was a royal, uptight pain in my ass. When she looked at me, she saw a college quarterback asshole with rocks for brains, but she didn’t have a single word for what was happening between us. When we were forced to ride together every single day that summer, there was definitely some dislike going on... moreHate: to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward. Scarlet Jennings, the preacher’s daughter who lived across the street, was a royal, uptight pain in my ass. When she looked at me, she saw a college quarterback asshole with rocks for brains, but she didn’t have a single word for what was happening between us. When we were forced to ride together every single day that summer, there was definitely some dislike going on. Extreme hostility was a given, considering that we were spending so much time together in close quarters. One night of bed-breaking, body-shattering, lose-your-voice-from-screaming passion had surprised us both, but it was only just the beginning… Author's note: Beguiling is book two in the erotic Tempting series, and it is a standalone. Beguling is a sexy, romantic comedy. Tempting, book one, features characters from this series, but it is not a requirement to read it before Beguiling. less

Provocative is the sequel to the #1 Erotica Bestseller Tempting and should not be read as a standalone. Tempting is currently FREE for a limited time. Coming home to a quiet, dark house. Meals by myself, because she was already done. Excuses and apologies, they were never enough. But even with that, when I touched her—when she arched under me and pulled me deeper— we couldn’t get back to where we needed to be. Where we used to be. It was all frustration. Loneliness.

Meals by myself, because she was already done. Excuses and apologies, they were never enough. But even with that, when I touched her—when she arched under me and pulled me deeper— we couldn’t get back to where we needed to be. Where we used to be. It was all frustration. Loneliness. Loss. Because even though she was no longer my student, the chemistry was always there. Adele and I loved each other. We thought we were unshakable. But love isn’t always enough. It wasn’t enough when I constantly disappointed her. It wasn’t enough when loss cleaved us in two. And when she left me, love was not enough. She didn’t know yet that I’d never stop fighting for her. But she would. **Author’s note: Let’s be real clear that this is BOOK TWO of a duet, and you’re going to want to read Tempting before you read this one. Adele and Nathan started their story in that book, and you’ll get the same sex, fighting, and cursing that you did in the first. But if you want it to make sense, read Tempting first. If any of that offends you, please avoid them both.** Reading order for the Tempting series 1. Tempting (Adele & Nathan Part One) 2. Beguiling (Scarlet & Leo - Standalone) 3. Provocative (Adele & Nathan Part Two) 4. Addicted - coming October 2016 (Standalone) less

Addiction: the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming. Ruby was sin and sex. The ultimate indulgence and worth every penny she cost me. I paid for her body, but didn't know she'd end up embedded in my soul. Elias was dark and tempting. Unmatched in intensity and passion compared to my other clients. He handed me cash in exchange for my touch, and he dug himself into my heart instead... moreAddiction: the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming. Ruby was sin and sex. The ultimate indulgence and worth every penny she cost me. I paid for her body, but didn't know she'd end up embedded in my soul. Elias was dark and tempting. Unmatched in intensity and passion compared to my other clients. He handed me cash in exchange for my touch, and he dug himself into my heart instead. Money changes things, firms up the lines of a relationship. But when it becomes an addiction—an all-consuming, life-changing addiction—the lines are completely obliterated. less
