Love is a weakness for a man like me…

Two years ago my enemies murdered my wife.
They took away the mother of my newborn son.
That’s how I became the beast…
A merciless, heartless, soulless creature.

That’s why I made the deal with Ava:
Take her to repay her father’s debt…

I couldn’t resist.
Not when I saw she feared me as much as she wanted me.
I wanted the beauty, a woman nearly half my age.
I wanted to own her and possess her.
Then I wanted more.
More than her obedience and submission.
I wanted her body, heart, mind and soul.

I never knew I was signing my death warrant when our paths collided.
I never knew who she truly was: A Bratva princess who’s supposed to be a ghost.
Her dark secrets unearth old enemies who want her dead.

I’m Vincent Giordano, underboss to the Giordano family .
I should know better than to start a war.
I should know better than to let love into my cold heart.
This isn’t a fairytale.
When she kisses me I won’t turn into a prince.
I’ll still be the beast.
Yet, I can’t let them take her.
I just don’t know what it will cost me this time.

REVIEW: TEMPT ME is the fourth instalment in Faith Summers (aka Khardine Gray) contemporary, adult DARK ODYSSEY erotic, mafia, dark romance series focusing on the Giordano family who own and operate the exclusive Dark Odyssey Sex Club, and the reigning family in the Chicago mob. This is the new boss of the Chicago and the Italia Giordanos, and single father Vincent Giordano, and journalist Ava Knight’s story line. TEMPT ME can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the graphic nature of the story line content, there may be some triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ava and Vincent) TEMPT ME follows several converging paths including two million dollars in missing money, and a potential partnership with the Russian Bratva. When her father was discovered to have stolen two million dollars from the Giordano family, Ava Giordano offers up herself as payment for her father’s sins but Ava’s naïvete found our heroine unaware that she would become the personal possession of Vincent Giordano, to do with as he pleases. From a sexual plaything to the woman with whom he would fall in love, Vincent will discover that there is much more to Ava than he could have ever imagined. As the Russian Bratva continues to seek a partnership with the Giordano family, a background search uncovers the truth, and the danger that awaits for everyone involved. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Ava and Vincent, and the potential fall-out as Ava’s past comes seeking revenge, and Vincent believes himself unworthy of his own happily ever after.

Two years earlier Vincent’s wife Sorcha was killed in a war between competing mob families. Unable to forgive himself for the loss of his wife, Vincent’s grief is palpable and painful. Meeting Ava Knight give Vincent a second chance at happiness and love but threats to Ava’s safety force Vincent to push away the woman with whom he had fallen in love. The $ex scenes are passionate and erotic.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters including Vincent’s brothers: Nick (Tease Me #1), Gabe (Taunt Me #2), Salvatore (Thrill Me #3), parents Julian and Angela Giordano; their cousins Christian and Georgiou; Vincent’s son Timothy and her nursemaid Marguerite; Ava’s father Mark; as well as several members of the Russian Bratva.

TEMPT ME is a story of family, betrayal, relationships and love; power, control, vengeance and death. The premise is gritty and dark; the characters are animated, real, wounded and edgy; the romance is provocative and intense. TEMPT ME is a startling and intoxicating look at the one family’s struggle to remain on top.
