 Not as good as her other works April 26, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Having read both "Dirty" and "Broken", I was awaiting this release with great anticipation. The heroines in the other books were both very sympathetic. They each struggled to maintain a strong facade while their insides were a broken mess.
I never felt for this female lead. She had tragedies in her life but unlike the other two, she was weak all the way around and seemed to me to be more of a whiner than someone who fought tooth and nail to make it through each and every day.
I'm glad to see that others greatly disliked the ending. I thought it was just me. But after spending a Saturday reading this book in its entirety, it ended up being chucked across the room because I was so dissatisfied with the ending.
Saying that, I'm still looking forward to her next book and hope that Ms. Hart is able to recapture the magic which made me adore both "Broken" and "Dirty".
 Erotica, But More April 27, 2008

*****
I didn't expect a whole lot from this novel, and started it with some trepidation, as it was the first erotic novel I've ever read. I was pleasantly surprised at its complexity and depth and power to make me think, perhaps even more than its obvious entertainment value.
This is the story told in the voice of Anne, a wife and daughter, someone ostensibly very happy with her life. To her surprise, life's circumstances lead her into changing complicated sexual relationships with her husband and her husband's best friend.
It's the sort of story that answers the question "how could someone ever be involved in something like THAT"---a "threesome"? After reading "Tempted" you can understand, you can see and even empathize (or at least I did) with how such an unusual sexual and even more so---emotional---relationship could happen.
There are many strong subplots, including family issues such as how we regard our parents as adults, how we learn to stand up for ourselves and ask for what we want, and probably most central---how we decide when to leave a relationship and when we stay. These subplots are played out not just in Anne's life, but in the lives of her sisters, her parents, and her in-laws.
"Tempted" has mystery, plot twists, great anticipation, and vivid descriptions. I gave it five stars because I think that the author did everything she could with the medium---writing a high-quality, provocative, thrilling erotic novel that appeals on many different levels.
Highly recommended, if you are looking for an erotic novel. Note that the language describing sexual activity is very explicit.

I had such high hopes April 3, 2008

It's like she started with one idea and changed her mind several times and finally just couldn't make up her mind how she wanted to write this story. There was so much promise in this book. It never lived up to my expectations but I believe others will enjoy the push-pull relationships
and the hint of emotional love displayed between the male characters to one another. Enjoy!
Steamy Stuff and How February 17, 2008

This is my first Megan Hart book and what a rollercoaster of passion it is. Anne is an incredible woman and I really feel for her, her emotions really do come over. She has a wonderful husband, the best in the world. What more could any woman want, and all this with a beautiful home in a beautiful setting, then along comes Alex, the enigmatic Alex and things go up a couple of gears. Anne's life is influenced by memories of her colourful family which adds even more flavour to the drama.
A great read and I would highly recomend it. My husband bought it for me as a thank you present along with Suzie Van Aartman's wickedly naughty 100 Percent Erotica which is also a really steamy read albeit in a different style. Ah the joys of eroticism, I cant get enough.

I've read a lot of novels about menage a trois, a lot of them seem to be far fetch. I felt that this story, which was well written, could be true. Like the may character, sometimes I have to pinch myself to remember that this really is my life, not a dream. I recommend this book if you like reality fiction.
