ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 23, 2019

I hit on her first.

Realized she was my best friend Finn’s little sister second.

And got a bloody nose third — compliments of Finn after he watched me nearly score with the new underclassman.

After all I did have a reputation on campus, word on the street was that a girl could orgasm within one minute just watching me eat Lucky Charms.
You can’t make this stuff up — even though it was at least four minutes and included outside circumstances. Ahem, I digress.

Point is, not only did I earn the attention of the worst sort of girl for me — my best friend’s only sibling — but now she’s out to seduce me.

Me! One of the most famous Pleasure Ponies of them all!

I can’t shower — she follows me to the bathroom. Literally.
I can’t sleep — Lucky me, she lives in the same dorm.

And I can’t focus on anything except for her taunting eyes every single time something goes her way.

I want her, but I don’t want her to know I want her, and I definitely don’t want to die before graduation, which is looking more and more likely considering we can’t keep our hands off each other.

Something’s gotta give, and I have an inkling I should probably start writing my eulogy now because that something is probably going to be me.

REVIEW:AVOIDING TEMPTATION is the third instalment in Rachel Van Dyken’s contemporary, adult BRO CODE erotic, romance series focusing on four friends known as the Pleasure Ponies who work for Wingman Inc: Knox, Finn, Leo, and Slater. This is Slater and Tatum’s story line. AVOIDING TEMPTATION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary. The Bro Code is a spin off from the author’s Wingman, Inc series.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Slater and Tatum) AVOIDING TEMPTATION follows the best friends’s little sister relationship between Finn’s sister and sophomore Tatum, and Pleasure Pony Slater. Tatum has transferred schools following the fall-out of a relationship that spiralled out of control. Hoping to start anew, Tatum recognized her brother’s best friend Slater, and proceeded to try and seduce our story line hero but all does not go according to plan when Finn walks in on Slater and Tatum, threatening Slater within inches of his life. When Finn and Tatum’s family life begins to split and fall apart, Finn heads home, leaving Tatum and Slater to dance around the palpable sexual attraction between one another. What ensues is the quick building romance and relationship between Tatum and Slater, and the potential fall-out when Finn calls foul on the unwritten bro-code between best friends and brothers.

The relationship between Slater and Tatum is one of immediate attraction but Slater is unaware of Tatum’s connection to his best friend Finn. It quickly becomes apparent that Tatum will become a permanent fixture in the best friend’s residence, a position that places Tatum and Finn within feet of one another. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. There is plenty of back and forth texting between our story line couple, texting of which Slater is completely unaware.

We are reintroduced to Pleasure Ponies Finn, and Leo Blackwood, as well as Leo’s fiancée Kora Robinson, and Finn and Tatum’s colorful and eccentric ninety two year old Aunt Nadine.

AVOIDING TEMPTATION is a fun and flirty story line with a little bit of drama and conflict. The premise is captivating and engaging; the romance is sweet and seductive; the characters are energetic and charismatic. I am looking forward to Finn’s story.
