From NetGalley:
Devon Carter was her first; now newly wed Ashley wants their passion to last. But her dreams of true love are crushed by the discovery that their marriage is another of Daddy’s business deals. Her strategy: act the part of perfect wife and make Devon love her.
But Devon misses the bubbly, no-holds-barred woman his wife used to be. Who is this Ashley with the steely demeanor of a society wife? And will he find a way to rekindle the fire in her eyes especially now that she’s pregnant?
TEMPTED BY HER INNOCENT KISS is a great Harlequin Desire. I absolutely loved the previous two books in this mini-series and was excited to read Devon’s story. I wasn’t disappointed. Ashley is different than a lot of Maya Banks heroines. She is flighty and silly and smart and loving. She lives in color and light. She isn’t a bad-ass and isn’t put-off by being taken care of. When she finds out that her marriage to Devon isn’t all she thought it was my heart broke for her. But I loved that she wasn’t going to just give up. She was going to do whatever it took to at least try and make her marriage work. Devon, on the other hand, isn’t a very sympathetic character in the beginning. Although he says many times that he wants to tell her the truth about why he was with her…he doesn’t. He completely redeems himself in the end and I loved his grovelling. The happily ever after is so satisfying in TEMPTED BY HER INNOCENT KISS. I can’t wait for Cam’s story and to find out how Dev and Ash are doing.
the book girl gives TEMPTED BY HER INNOCENT KISS a 5/5
to find the book:
Sounds like a good story. I did not realize Maya wrote “skinnies. LOL.
If it has Maya’s name on the cover I have to read it. I remember how surprised I was when I found out she wrote Desires!
