Olivia Cunning sure does know how to create rock stars who are absolutely down and dirty.  In Tempt Me, she gives us lead guitarist Adam's story.  While we spend most of the 118 pages getting a birds eye view at just how Adam expresses his appreciation of girlfriend Madison, it's those brief glimpses of his vulnerability and uncertainty as he deals with his feeling for Madison, his addiction, the animosity with Shade and his addict father that make you love Adam and want more to his story.Madison was an interesting woman.  She's this sweet, caring chemical dependency counselor who apparently is sex fiend when she gets with a certain rock star.  There was such contrast to both sides of her that you had to wonder sometime if it was the same woman.  She would go from being worried someone could see her through the tinted glass of a limo to being all set to have public sex.  And as a counselor, I would have expected a much stronger reaction to some of the things she discovered instead of the blase "I'll trust you to deal with it" attitude she had.My only disappointment with the story was how certain story lines were left hanging.  There is obviously something that happened between Shade and Adam that has caused this huge rift.  But we didn't get any back story about the two of them, even as we found Adam contemplating what to do.  Same thing with Adam and Madi.  The storyline goes down the path of them setting a date to go to a sex club and then Madi's running out the door for work.  Wait...what happens in New Orleans?  I'm hoping in the next Adam and Madison novella (the author has stated at the end of this book it's coming) that we get some kind of closure to the items left open in this one.Still a solid read and one that shouldn't be passed up.
