Review: A delicious tease!

I have to hand it to Amanda, she's super creative when it comes to choosing the supernaturals in her books. Forget about your typical vamps and weres, The Sweetest Temptation features a wood nymph and a cougar! Despite their shaky first meeting, Erica's abilities go a long way into making an otherwise impossible situation believable which really helped this novella to feel like a full length book in only 58 pages.Drew and Erica meet under very unusual circumstances which only further added to this tale's excitement levels. Both characters' adrenaline is pumping at full speed from the opening pages and it doesn't let up until one of them is knocked unconscious! I loved the couple's cute role reversal; him, trying to focus on the task at hand and her, wanting only one thing: sex. Although admittedly, Drew's level headedness didn't last long once his beast got a whiff of her desire. Well, that is, until Erica mistakenly calls him a wolf; what bigger insult is there to a cat than being called a dog?Bonilla holds true to her previous Sexy Shifter Shorts pattern by making us wait (again) for the release that both Drew and Erica are desperately craving. Mr Paige gets knocked unconscious twice in this novella and I couldn't help thinking about Alice and her rabbit hole. At times it seemed like he was just along for the ride and I thought that he was being a pretty good sport about the whole ordeal. Finally, and after much teasing, Amanda delivers the promised sexy time scene and it's just as explosive as all of the action that came before it. Definitely worth the wait!The Sweetest Temptation is exactly what it claims to be; a quickie read that's going to give you blue balls before it gives you satisfaction.
