The best part about TEMPTATION BY FIRE is the romance! For a short novel I expect some sort of "insta" to happen. Thank the muses TAllee didn't give us cheap thrills! Ava and Karson immediately crushed on each other, that's for sure, but like normal people, they exercised control! I appreciate the power of passion but sexual chemistry still has to be believable even if it's fantasy right? Anyway, instead of jumping each other's bones the first chance they get, Ava and Karson kept one another at arm's length, calculated, rationalized, maintained control and prioritized the deadly threat of demons before allowing themselves to get distracted by sex and romance. So expect a lot of action and tension.I hope there's a sequel for TEMPTATION BY FIRE, right now it's a stand-alone but it's the kind of story that has the potential for more. I love the simple setting with it's intense plot and "normal" romance. I love the short list of characters so Ava and Karson's character development didn't suffer given the short length of the novel. Plus TAllee kept the conflict and resolution of the story in perspective resulting to a very satisfying read. It's hard to explain but TAllee's brand of PNR/UF is unique in the sense that she keeps certain things believable, her characters doesn't lose their "human" and rational characteristics just because they're "different". They're not grossly exaggerated  either which makes them very likeable and relatable despite their sordid pasts. I guess what I'm trying to say is, TAllee will give you a good dose of fantasy without veering off too much from reality. We all need to be grounded sometimes.*COPY PROVIDED BY THE PUBLISHER IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW
