REVIEW: ALLURING TEMPTATION (BAYOU STIX #3) BY SKYE TURNERJUNE 1, 2014 LEAVE A COMMENT (EDIT)Alluring Temptation-2Synopsis:Liam Christianson is the devil-may-care, rhythm guitarist for Bayou Stix, the hottest rock band around. He’s a playboy and likes to do things his way. No regrets. He knows that women love him, and he uses that to his advantage. He’s cocky and shallow. Or so it seems.Clove Rodrigue is the baby sister of Liam’s bandmate and friend. She’s a sweet, fairly innocent young woman who was dealt a bad hand and became a victim of circumstance. After finishing culinary school, she returns home to Baton Rouge. She finds herself living under the same roof as Liam and they quickly realize they are like oil and water. He hates how perfect she is, and she can’t stand his treatment of women.Both Liam and Clove are accustomed to letting others see only what they want them to see, each hiding behind false pretenses.What happens when polar opposites realize that their hatred of one another is really attraction? Will they succumb to the allure? What happens when the things that you fight so hard against are the very things you need the most in the world?imageEllen’s ReviewimageSkye Turner is one of those authors that has been on my TBR list forever. I have to confess that this wonderful author contacted me when her first book in the Bayou Stix series was released, and unfortunately for me, I was unable to get to read it at that time. I am so glad I got to read Alluring Temptation because I absolutely love her joyous, infectious and exuberant style of writing! With a heavy dose of Southern conversation, y’all.Liam is your typical bad-boy rocker, but we get to really see inside his head with the dual POV’s. In between all the meaningless sex with models and groupies, Liam is actually a very funny, smart guy who harbors deep feelings for Clove (love the name!), the little sister of Dade. The story is fast-paced, and I loved all of the Louisiana references, having lived in that state for several years during my younger days. All of the food and location references left me feeling very nostalgic for that beautiful state.Clove is fighting to be recognized as a woman instead of the young, fresh-faced innocent girl that everyone sees her as. She is very sexy, but has a natural beauty and a sweet personality. She has had a crush on Liam forever but the sparks really fly when they both recognize that they have feelings for each other.Skye has a unique writing style that is highly entertaining, real and very funny. The sex is smokin’ hot and I loved getting into the world of Bayou Stix. This is Book #3 in a series, and I think it can be read as a standalone but the first two books do provide background on all the main characters. I really enjoyed reading Alluring Temptation and recommend it for anyone who wants a fairly quick, sexy and funny book about rockers and the women they love!
