Synopsis courtesy
of Goodreads
Bad boy Kaidan Rowe has
never wanted for anything—money, popularity, musical talent…hot
girls—but seducing them is part of his duty as a Nephilim, slave to the
demon Dukes. As the son of the Duke of Lust, Kaidan has learned his
father’s ways, becoming a master of passion, a manipulator of chemistry.
Disobeying his father would mean certain death. Thankfully for Kaidan,
he’s good at his job. And he enjoys it.
Until he meets Anna
Whitt—sweet, smart, feisty, and inexplicably good—the one girl seemingly
immune to his charms. The daughter of a guardian angel and a fallen
one, she has a certain power over him, one that makes him wish for more
than he could ever deserve.
Determined to save all the Neph from
their dark lives as the influencers of sin, Anna joins forces with
Kaidan to overcome the demons’ oppressive ways. In the light of her
affections, Kaidan must undergo his toughest test of all, a battle of
the heart.
Sensual and swoon worthy, this companion volume to the
acclaimed Sweet Evil series from New York Times bestselling author
Wendy Higgins, told from the perspective of the irresistibly sexy and
mysterious Kaidan Rowe, gives readers revealing insights into his
struggle, his intense connection to Anna, and most of all, the true
emotions that drive him.
Author Note:
Sweet Temptation
will encompass the entire trilogy in a condensed version, beginning with
Kai's life before he met Anna, and taking readers through the epilogue
of Sweet Reckoning. Sweet Temptation is a companion novel, not meant to
be a stand alone story. It will definitely be a richer experience for
those who have read the original trilogy.
Review
This was exactly what I wanted. It definitely can’t stand
on its own, but it doesn’t claim to. And Wendy Higgins did a great job of
condensing three books into one with a cohesive plot.
I really liked Kai when I was reading the original Sweet
Trilogy. And I fell even more in love being able to be in his head. He was a
lot of internal struggles and self-hatred to deal with. And this really showed
how much he developed over the years and throughout the series.
I was still a little bothered by the way Kai talks. Not
his vulgar language. I actually really like that Ms. Higgins went there. But I’ve
always struggled with his British slang. Eventually I get used to it, but it’s
a little jarring.
And that beautiful epilogue. The one in Sweet Reckoning
was probably my favorite epilogue. But this one was even more devastatingly
beautiful. Kai makes that epilogue so his POV on it were just perfection.
This book is for fans of the Sweet Trilogy and Kai. If
you like the other ones I think you will enjoy this book.
Thanks for reading!
