This romance that is a fascinating and gripping addition to the Beautiful Creatures world as the door to Daemonia is opened and hordes of monsters stream into the mortal realm. Savin and Jett are strong, attention-grabbing characters that easily pull readers in and refuse to let go as they struggle to survive and carve out hope for their happily ever after. The romance is on the sweet side and full of hot and steamy passion and sizzling chemistry but the relationship is full of emotional turmoil that comes from dealing with the past and what it means for them and it also has a major obstacle that must be overcome – one that just might be their undoing.The excitement and thrills keeps readers glued to the pages of this steady to fast paced plot as Savin discovers that the childhood friend he thought he’d lost forever has escaped after years of captivity. The intriguing Jett must overcome her tragic past, survive in this modern world and convince Savin that she can defeat the darkness inside. But with a few surprising twists this Savin and Jett’s world become more complicated and danger closes in. The story and characters are well developed and brought to vivid life with well written words that capture the imagination and make it easy for the readers to picture each and every scenes as it happens. The story also has a brilliantly suspenseful conclusion to the conflict involving the Queen of Demonia that had me biting my nails in expectation.

Took me a while to get into this - but that was not the book's fault, more along the lines of I had too many other things happening to allow myself to sit and read for a while.

When I did finally have some time to read this, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Michele Hauf's paranormal romances are my go-to escape when I cannot deal with the rest of the world. She creates the most beautiful stories, full of interesting characters dealing with life and love, and the complications caused by the magic they harbor inside.

In this particular story, Savin runs into a friend he believed he'd lost twenty years earlier. As children they fell into Daemonia - a world inhabited by demons. Savin managed to escape, but believed Jett had died there. He returned with a demon trapped inside of him, and now spends his days working with others who have magical abilities to send trouble causing demons back to Daemonia.

He's overjoyed when he sees Jett again, but something has changed inside of her. As much as she wants to return to the human world, she and Savin both have to accept that she's no longer completely human.

This is a story about battling demons - both real and mental. The characters have to face their guilt and the truth about who they are and what happened to them in order to truly find their way back to each other. To make matters more difficult, since Jett's return, Paris has been suffering from an influx of demons. Much to Savin's dismay, he discovers the only way to protect the city may involve a horrible sacrifice.

As always from this author, a very sexy, very fast paced, engrossing story set in the beautifully described city of Paris.

Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys sexy, paranormal romances full of magic.

There is constant creativity in the latest release from Michele Hauf, where quirky humor and unique circumstances can be found throughout the compelling story. I always know there will be lots of originality when reading this author, and TEMPTING THE DARK certainly did not disappoint me. The premise of the story is certainly intriguing, as two individuals now have vastly opposite lives, yet there is still a lingering connection between the two that has not been weakened over time. As duty wars with desires, each new set of circumstances kept me captivated until every possible scenario plays out.

Although Savin Thorne is actually human, a demon does reside inside him because of an incident when he was a child. This event led to him becoming a reckoner, where he can return demons to Daemonia if they pose a threat to his world. When a large group of these creatures invade an area near Paris through a rift, he manages to send most of them back but several get away. When Savin comes upon a woman walking along the road afterward, he is stunned to discover she is Jett Montfort, his best friend who was supposedly killed in Daemonia right before he escaped. Yet here she is, twenty years later, but Savin wonders how different she is from the girl that he once knew.

With exciting situations and interestingly portrayed characters, TEMPTING THE DARK is a paranormal story which grabbed my full attention. There are quite a few happenings in the story which could have had gone very well or become a disaster, and this uncertainty kept me reading and wanting to learn what would ultimately take place. Michele Hauf always comes up with cleverly executed ideas. The descriptive details of what is occurring let me know what Savin and Jett were experiencing, and some moments were delightfully enjoyable while others could turn deadly if a wrong choice was made.

Savin and Jett have distinctive traits, and how they use their abilities is often fascinating. He tries to make the world safer by keeping demons under control, and his interaction with several others who share this responsibility was often full of amusing remarks. Jett has been through a terrible ordeal, and she currently feels conflicted because of how her thoughts are pulled in two opposing ways. As solutions to their many problems are sought, I had a fabulous time watching them live through these very entertaining adventures.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of the book, and all comments are my honest opinion
