Don't Tempt Me

Georgian #4

by Sylvia Day

Sometimes Temptation...

A hardened mercenary as adept in bed as in battle, Simon Quinn can have any woman he wants, but he prefers those who know the rules of the game. That way it's easier to leave them behind...

Can't Be Avoided

But Lysette Rousseau is one female he can't figure out. Beautiful, sensual, seductive, she should be the perfect match for Simon, yet something about her ties him in knots. Bold and manipulative one time, sweetly innocent the next, she is an enigma bound to bring trouble... impossible to resist.

Ni fu ni fa, la verdad
Leo esta saga porque me gusta la erótica histórica, pero tampoco lo encuentro muy erótico.
Sí, el deseo es repentino y y es verse y sufrir y estar todo el día "preparados" pero las escenas hot ni son gran cosa ni son tantas.
La trama no ha estado mal, aunque me ha resultado tan previsible que al final casi me cabreo y todo.
La parte romántica ni la veo, cuando se enamoran las parejas si a los dos días de verse durante 10 minutos ya se aman con locura???
Soy lectora romántica y me cabrean mucho estas novelas, al menos si hubiera disfrutado más de la parte erótica, pero no, tampoco es memorable
Creo que es una historia que la autora complica demasiado (ya digo que la trama tenía mucho potencial) para las páginas que tiene el libro y, claro, teniendo en cuenta que aparecen tres parejas... pues ya podéis imaginaros

I couldn’t keep track of the 3-4 side characters due to their French names/titles. I’m not sure how I feel about the storytelling. We start with two prologues concerning the heroine’s parents’ past, which is fine. We jump to the present day. Then back up three days prior and gradually make our way to the present again. We get multiple POVs, four at the least. This kind of storytelling is more suited for a movie where it would be less confusing.

The romance was mostly the hero and heroine lusting after each other and took a backseat to the mystery and some espionage. I did get caught up in the mystery after the 80% mark, mainly because I wanted to see the family reunion. 🥹

There’s a secondary romance for the heroine’s sister but that doesn’t take up a lot of pages as I had initially thought.

If you’re new to Sylvia Day, don’t start with this series. I’d recommend Lucien's Gamble for a steamy good time.

Since the beginning I've glued to this book, it's impossible not to read more to unravel all the mysteries!

I didn't find it conventional romance, although there are 3 love stories. Love conditions the actions of the characters but for me the interest of the reading was focused on discovering the unknown villain and the whole story of Lysette.

We already have a teaser in the latest book about Lysette's sad past, what happened to be a marked person now? How did she get to be a spy given her noble past? Who is Marguerite? What happened to Philippe? Who is the villain? Who is the twins' real father? Really, it was difficult for me to focus only on the hero (Simon) and heroine (Lynette).

Since the last book I found Lysette a good character and it was great to see that she might have found the right man to ease her traumas...Well I just hope bc the end of the book wasn't very clear about that. Neither to explain the reason for her traumas with men that's why I'm giving it 4.5 as I shouldn't have gone unanswered.

With this book you may expect: solving mysteries, rooting for 3 couples, a knot in the brain because not only does the narrative jump between past and present, different povs, but there are also the twins Lynette and Lysette and even halfway through the book Lynette is Lysette 🤣 and a entertaining reading.

This book is not erotic as usual. And to better understand the relationship between Simon and Lysette it's best to read book #3 (A Passion for Him) first.

Note: Yes, on the first pages I also had to confirm that I was reading the right book!! 🤭

[Bronwyn Rykiert · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an absolute gem of a book, I loved it from start to finish – it was one that I wanted to finish to find the answer to the mystery, even though I had guessed and that I did not want to finish because I loved the characters so much.

At the start of the book we have Marguerite Piccard and Philippe (Marquis de St Martin) together, she is his mistress and they love each other very much but someone wants them apart. He threatens them, then Philippe is attacked and almost killed, along comes another who marries Marguerite and she leaves to protect Philippe.

Move forward 22 years and we meet Simon Quinn, he is a mercenary and at a party he meets Lynette Baillon but he thinks she is her twin sister Lysette. He has spent months with Lysette and had no sexual interest in her so he cannot understand why he is suddenly so drawn to her. As far as Lynette is concerned her sister died 2 years ago.

This has one of the best mysteries that I have read in awhile and the story came together so well. I love Sylvia Day as an author I do hope the library will get more of her books.

Another interesting storyline.
Another engaging plot twist.
Another off the charts attraction.

Way to end this Georgian series of books! I've enjoyed all of them. The cloak and dagger and the intrigue had me at the edge of my seat in this book. More so than the others. It worked so well because at the core of it all are the unique stories of not just one love story but really three.
The Mom's story was heart wrenching.

I love Sylvia Day for wrapping all 3 stories up for me in a way that I thought they should be wrapped up if I had my say. They were perfectly ended.

Story telling at it's finest!

Simon Quinn works for Eddington as an agent for the crown. He is known for his abilities as a lover.

He meets Lynette Rousseau who is looking for her supposed dead twin sister Lysette. He mistakes her for Lysette whom he knows is a cold calculating woman from working with her in the past but then realizes that they are different women.

Lysette has lost her memory and works undercover for Desjardins and she is assigned to uncover information from Mr. James whom works for Ben Franklin. Lysette gets wounded and Mr. James helps to take care of her and after a period of time pieces of her memory start to come back, but they are not good memories.

Simon watches Lysette to see what she is up to and tries to figure if she is indeed the real twin sister of Lynettes. He knows there is something strange going on.

He then helps Lynette to find her sister and uncover what really happened to Lysette when she supposedly died.

There is a lot of different plots working at the same time that makes this book hard to put down. The ending is Great!

[Kelly · Rating 2 out of 5]

I don't really know what to make of this novel. The plot was so intriguing and the characters so individual, and yet it felt so rushed and so shallow that it never came together.

I wish this novel had been written by someone like Sidney Sheldon, who wouldn't have been afraid to make it 500 or 600 pages long and just really flesh it out. Someone liked SHeldon would have 'books' within the novel. A book for Marguerite and Saint Martin, a book for Lysette and a book for Simon and Lynette, with a final book for the big showdown. A massive 500 page affair with every thought and feeling detailed and real development...

Sadly I thought that this novel lacked all of this, and resigned myself to it being solely about the sex, and then even that dried up! The conclusion barely covered any of the other characters - did we find out what happened to Lysette and Edward? - and I felt a bit disappointed.

[AerinLuvs · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars rounded up!

Very enjoyable conclusion to the Georgian series! Would have been 4.5 stars but for the somewhat confusing layout of the story, with several time jumps and the multiple love stories told. I read this book for a re-read and challenge which required a main character to have a name with a "Q"~ and what a lovely Q it was! I actually didn't remember any of the plot as I was "re-reading" this, and I may have actually confused this book with another one.

As it was, I recommend that you read this series in order, so that you have a basic understanding of the background of Simon Quinn and Lysette Rosseau.

This is primarily the story of Simon Quinn and Lynette Bailon, but there were secondary romances going on and stories being told of the story of Margeurite and her long-ago love, Marquis Saint-Martin, as well as Lysette and Edward James. And then, in the beginning, there is some confusion between Lysette and Lynette, and later some intentional twin-misrepresentation going on as Lynette replaces Lysette! Confused yet? This also goes into the mystery of Lysette, the spy-assassin, and her background and solves the mystery of how she came to be a spy-assassin.

The telling of this tale is a rather complicated, and is set in the Georgian period, in Paris primarily and a little bit in London and Poland. It tells the story of Simon Quinn, who meets the identical twin sister of the cold spy/assassin that he had guarded, Lysette Rosseau (and who was introduced in previous books of this series). However, he doesn't realize it is really Lynette Baillon, who was recently arrived from Poland with her mother Margeurite.

Simon had never liked Lysette, nor she, him. Their mercenary/spy - spy/assassin interactions were devoid of any kind of romantic interest. Simon was too handsome, confident, too Alpha-male and too playboy for a woman like Lysette, who had been quiet and studious, not flashy nor drawing attention to herself. Lysette likes her men to be Betas, not too handsome, devoted, and considerate.

Lynette, on the other hand, is the more wild sister, and she is overtly feminine, loving wearing colorful dresses and enjoying (as well as being good at) flirting with the numerous men who are attracted to her. She was well-bred in Poland where she resided with her mother and her father, and is proper and still innocent. When Lynette sees Simon at a notorious ball, she stares at him longingly, and he can't but respond to the heated interest in her gaze. He finds himself strangely attracted to this woman who looks so much like Lysette, but who is acting like a seductive stranger. He has to approach her, both to ask her what is going on, and then he wants to kiss and ravish her.

The erotic tension between Simon and Lynette is crazy hot! It is so wonderful to see Simon finally falling for a woman instead of being the stud-whore that he had been in previous series books. There were a couple of super steamy love scenes! The things that Simon says is just crazy hot and explicit. When he first encounters the seductive Lynette, who he thinks is Lysette but behaving strangely, as she was sending him sedutive glances across the ballroom, he grabs her by the elbow and draws her into privacy in the library, "Do you want to be fucked?" he purred, his head lowering so that his lips touched her jaw. The caress was divine and wicked at once, making her shiver..."Because you are begging for it, witch, and I am insane enough in this moment to indulge you."

The majority of the book is spent unraveling the mystery of how Lysette ended up as a spy-assassin, and who would do this to her as well as cause such grief to her mother and twin sister, who believe her to be dead. This mystery unravels over 23 years, several countries, multiple households and concealed identities, coerced servants and secret missives sealed with plain black wax.

2.5
Creo que fue tanto lo que quiso abarcar la autora y darle un cierre a la serie que se hizo bolas. De la historia de las 3 parejas, la única que me gusto fue la de Phillippe y Marguerite, con ellos el comienzo estuvo excelente, muy pasional y excitante; con las otras parejas todo fue muy rapido e inverosimil. Me hubiese gustado que la trama fuera más estructurada e interesante porque el final, para mi, fue demasiado simple.

DON'T TEMPT ME by Sylvia Day is an exciting Georgian Erotic Historical Romance set in 1757 Paris, France. #4 in the "Georgian"series, but can be read as a stand alone. See,"Ask for It"," Passion for the Game",and "A Passion for Him".Re-issue from 2008. "Don't Tempt Me" is the story of Simon Quinn,a spy and mercenary and Lynette Baillon,who has lost her twin sister. Filled with danger,secrets,deceit,lies,vengeance,passion,and love. Lynette's twin sister,Lysette has been dead for two years,or so her family believes. Lysette Rousseau ,is a hired assassin,who lost her memory two years ago.Ms. Day has carefully woven subplots of Lysette and Edward James, as well as the story of Simon and Lynette, and the twins mother, Marguerite,her ex-lover, the Marquess of Saint-Martin,and her husband De Grenier. Brilliant plot with engaging characters. Fast paced. A true page turner. I enjoyed not only the characters as the truth unfolds,but the plot of taming an assassin and a mercenary. Powerful story of how love can save even the most wicked,as is not what it seems and the betrayal of one you trust. While, this title is listed as Erotic,the sensual part was not over the top. If you enjoy historical,the Georgian era,romance,and the power of love you don't want to mess "Don't Tempt Me". A must read! I have enjoyed this series and can't wait to read the next installment. Ms. Day pulls her readers into the story and holds them there. Recieved for an honest review from the publisher.

This novel spans several decades and there are several primary characters. Running in the background is an evil plot by one man to destroy the life of another by taking away everything that he loves. Philippe is married but falls for Marguerite and convinces her to give up everything to live as his mistress. After receiving threats and the beating of Philippe along with the murder of some of their staff Marguerite is convinced that leaving Philippe is the only way to save him. She runs away, marries and has children. She doesn’t see Philippe again until she returns to Paris and her daughter Lynette meets Simon. Ok, so there is way too much that goes on to explain but it ends up that the man that Marguerite married is the evil doer. He hates Philippe because Philippe had an affair with a woman that he loved and she killed herself after not being able to keep Philippe. It turns out that Lynette and Lysette are really Philippe’s children and that Philippe’s first wife was killed by Marguerite’s husband as well. Simon and Lynette end up together. Lysette, who by the way during her amnesia stage was an assassin, ends up with Mr. James. Philippe and Marguerite end up together. It was an interesting read but maybe just a little too much going on overall and not enough developing any particular story line.

Konu olarak ise başta hiç bir şey anlamadım konuya odaklanmada zorluk yaşadım belkide çeviriden bilmiyorum ama günün üçüncü kitabı olduğu için de olabilir .neyse kitap idare eder diyebilirim çok beğenmedim.

This may not be the first book in the series,but I will be picking up the others as soon as I can.

I liked the mysteries and the resolved romances throughout the book.

The characters didn't seem fake or overwhelming,which let ne get absorbed easily into the story.

Whoever wants to read it won't regret it.

And a great thanks to the library for having it!

Simon ve Lysette beklerken yazar resmen ters köşe yaptı..
Kitabın giriş bölümlerinde çıkan yepyeni karakterler kafa karıştırıcı olsa da sonra zamanla her şey yavaş yavaş yerine oturdu.
Ve böylece tek kitapta bir değil tam üç ayrı aşk hikayesi okumuş gibi olduk ki bu da çok hoşuma gitti.

¡3 ESTRELLAS!

Este mes estoy leyendo libros bastante normalitos pero que por alguna razón me enganchan. En el caso de esta novela, me ha sorprendido bastante porque sin darme apenas cuenta la he terminado. No sé si ha sido la agilidad de la historia o el hecho de tener narraciones desde el punto de vista de varios personajes (no siempre los "protagonistas") ha hecho que se me hiciera una lectura muy amena.

Sylvia Day es una autora con la que tengo mis altos y mis bajos. Me gustan particularmente sus novelas eróticas históricas más que las contemporáneas. Dentro de este grupo, tiene novelas que me entretienen y otras que en las que la lectura se me hace muy cuesta arriba.

En este caso, No me tientes ha sido una novela diferente. Incluso llegaría a decir que ni siquiera es una novela erótica o de romance. Sí, tiene sus partes y he sentido algo forzado algunos romances, pero más que nada es una historia de intriga. La trama principal gira en torno a descubrir la identidad de un misterioso personaje que ha estado inmiscuyéndose en la vida de todos los protagonistas.

Algo novedoso que nunca había leído en este tipo de novelas es el hecho de contar con distintas voces narrativas que no sean solo los protagonistas. A lo largo de esta novela se han desarrollado tres historias paralelas que se van entrecruzando. Por eso, aunque en teoría los protagonistas son Lynette y Simon, creo que otros personajes también cobran mucha importancia en la trama.

Creo que está bien llevada la intriga y el misterio, el ir sospechando de distintos personajes hasta dar con la verdadera identidad del villano. ¿Predecible? Bastante. Aunque la autora intenta dar un giro a la trama y hacernos pensar que el culpable es otro, es bastante obvio quién se esconde detrás del seudónimo. Incluso ese final tampoco ha quedado muy bien cerrado. Hay determinadas tramas que deja en el aire y no termina de explicar.

Sobre las relaciones amorosas que se dan, la de Marguerite y Philippe nos sirve como introducción a toda la historia. Algo muy típico de esta autora es la atracción inmediata que en cuestión de segundos se convierte en amor. No me termino de creer esa historia, creo que necesita darle más profundidad a sus personajes y permitirles que se enamoren no solo con la química y la atracción física.

Simon y Lynette es la viva repetición de la historia de Marguerite. No me la he creído. Para ella,
Simon es un capricho y para Simon, Lynette es un reto. No hay romance como tal, sino que después de acostarse ¡Bum! están enamorados. Lo siento, pero ya no me trago ese cuento.

Por último, la relación que más me ha gustado es la de Lysette y Edward. Aunque sí hay cierta atracción física, he visto mayor profundidad en sus personajes. Lysette es un personaje que puede dar mucho juego. Por todo lo que ha pasado y cómo eso la hecho cambiar, se puede desarrollar una gran historia. Y ver cómo intenta recuperar la confianza en los hombres con la ayuda de Edward,
un hombre responsable y trabajador sería algo que sí que me gustaría leer.

No sé si la autora pensaba escribir otro libro con su historia y por eso ha dejado la relación entre ellos en el aire, pero me hubiera gustado ver algo más de ellos.

El problema con esta novela ha sido que la autora ha intentado meternos el romance por todos lados, cuando en sí no es una novela de romance. Tiene sus escenas, pero no es lo fundamental. Y por último, como ya que he dicho antes, no considero a Simone y Lynette los "protagonistas" de esta novela pues es fundamental el desarrollo de otros personajes. Es más, creo que los verdaderos protagonistas que se llevan el peso de la trama sería Simon (ya que es quien va uniendo las distintas tramas a medida que va descubriendo más cosas sobre el caso) y Lysette (que tiene un papel fundamental en toda la intriga).

RESUMEN CON SPOILERS

Lynnete y Lysette son hermanas gemelas que siempre han estado muy unidas. Dos años antes del desarrollo de la historia Lysette muere en un accidente dejando un gran vacío en la vida de su madre y su hermana.

Marguerite, la madre de las chicas, tuvo un romance con Philippe y se convirtió en su amante. Un misterioso hombre que se hace llamar L'Esprit intenta destruir la vida de Philippe por viejos rencores del pasado. Para ello, le da una brutal paliza al Philippe y mata a todos sus sirvientes, asustando así a Marguerite a que huya y lo abandone por su bien.

Marguerite se casa con De Grenier, su viejo prometido antes de que lo abandonase para convertirse en la amante del marqués, y se mudan de París a Polonia donde vivirán con sus dos hijas gemelas. Desde que huyó, Marguerite está decidida a no volver a poner un pie en Francia.

Sin embargo, tras la muerte de su hija Lysette, Lynette cambió tanto y se comenzó a comportar como ella que Marguerite está preocupada y por eso decide aceptar los deseos de su hija de visitar París.

Lynette conocerá a Simon que casualmente la confunde con Lysette, despertando las esperanzas de la joven de que su hermana sigue viva. Sin embargo Lysette ha vivido una vida muy dura esos dos últimos años. Abusaron violentamente de ella y cuando consiguieron librarla de sus agresores, la entrenaron como espía y asesina. Lysette perdió la memoria y no recuerda nada más allá de esos dos últimos años por lo que no sabe que tiene una familia que cree que está muerta.

Cuando Simon se entera de la existencia de ambas hermanas empezará a indagar que fue lo que pasó en sus vidas. L'Espirit no puede permitir que Simon descubra sus secretos ni que Marguerite se encuentre con Philippe y comiencen a estar juntos de nuevo. Por eso, idea un plan para acabar con ellos y con Lysette, ya que está descubrió algo importante de su pasado aunque no lo recuerde de momento.

Edward James es un hombre humilde pero con fuertes valores que se siente atraído por Lysette pero le conmueve especialmente lo vulnerable que es. Decidido a enseñarla a confiar de nuevo en los hombres, hará todo lo posible por ayudarla.

Finalmente, se descubre que De Grenier es en realidad L'Esprit. Él fue el que intentó destruir la vida de Philippe todos estos años y fingió la muerte de Lysette ya que ésta lo descubrió. Sabedor de que sabía su identidad, quería matarla antes de que recobrara sus recuerdos. Pero Simon sospecha de él e idea un plan para tenderle una emboscada. Finalmente, Margarite rota de dolor porque el hombre con el que estaba casada fue la que tanto sufrimiento el causó a ella, al amor de su vida y a sus hijas le dispara con una pistola.

Semanas después, Simon y Edward cortejan a las hermanas y Philippe y Margarite tienen pensado casarse. Además, Lynette y Lysette son hijas engendradas de la aventura de ambos amantes.

Don't Tempt Me -- the last book in the series and my least favorite. That's how it was eight years ago, and it's how it is now.

The years have turned my memory of this book to dust. Only one impression remained: that this book was written just to get the series to its conclusion, and that the quality of the story was not a priority. Unfortunately, my opinion hasn't improved, though now I'm leaning towards thinking the author just bit off more than she could chew.

This story, though it's about the characters that piqued my interest in the previous installment, did not hold my attention. I read it just to get it over with, but it took me some time. It is lamentable how long it took me to finish it now that I'm on vacation, ready to read my days away and catch up with books that have piled up and catch up with my reading challenge.

What was the problem with this novel? It had two chapters of prologue, for starters. I got a bad feeling right then and there. In my opinion, the real issue was that it was too short for the four storylines it contained. It started with the love story of Marguerite and Saint-Martin which would resume at the end. Then there was Simon and Lynette's, and Lysette and Edward's. Plus, a mystery involving a man known as L'Esprit, and his role in many bad things that happened to these characters, and this is not even all the novel contained. Three romance stories and a mystery on circa 270 pages led to all being underdeveloped and unfortunately uninteresting.

For a long time now, my one requirement when it comes to my reading material is that it's interesting. That's it. This book failed me. Three romances and a mystery, and it failed me! Oh, and was the mystery fully resolved in the end? I don't think that it was.

[Ana · Rating 2 out of 5]

I'm pretty sure the only reason I'm giving this two stars even if I struggled to get through it without tearing each page into a million pieces is the male character, Simon, who I thought was pretty great.

So get this, after he realizes the confusion between the two twins and gets all hot and bothered with Lynette, he devises this amazingly complicated plan that somehow manages to surprise you and make you think how the actual hell he came up with it in the first place?!



But seriously, I felt like I was watching inception all over again.

Still, it wasn't enough to make me enjoy the endless spy crap, psychopathic and control freak males and needy and emotionally damaged females. But that's just my opinion.

[Julieta Tobon · Rating 3 out of 5]

Este es el cuarto y último libro de la serie. No había querido escribir review de los anteriores, pues quería terminar este para hacer una general.
Los cuatro libros hablan de personajes distintos pero que de uno u otra manera están todos relacionados ya que en su mayoría, son espías ingleses. En cada libro se desenvuelve una historia de amor y pasión, mezcladas con traición, intriga, misterio y espionaje. Son libros realmente entretenidos. Si bien, son libros de género romántico y por ende suelen ser clichés. Estos sin dudas lograron mantenerme enganchada de principio a fin. Me sentí confundida y en algunas parte lograron sorprenderme.

Algo que también rescato de estas historias es que se desarrollan en otra época, haciendo que todas las experiencias tengan un color y matiz distinto a los libros anteriores que he leído de la autora. La forma de expresarse, las descripciones, los escenarios y personajes fueron muy bien representados y me hacían sentir inmersa en la historia.

El primero es si duda mi favorito de la serie, pero siento que todos juntos hacen una buena armonía. No le pondría ni le quitaría libros.

Si te gustan los libros de romance, misterio, intriga y seducción. Estos están hechos para ti!

Don't Tempt Me (Georgian Book 4)

The story of Marguerite and Philippe, Simon and Lynette, and Edward and Lynette. One man change the live of two people who love, Philippe and Marguerite love each other but he was marry to someone else. His life is was threaten and she marry someone else. Lynette was thought dead and now she is live and have no memory of her past. She is a spy for the French now. Will Marguerite find her daughter and will Lynette regain her memory? Great story.

[Stacie]

This was a good read but I was surprised that it did not have as many erotic scenes as I usually see from Sylvia Day. It is the story of Simon who is a spy for England. He mets Lysette but mistakes her for her twin sister Lynette. Lysette thought that Lynette was dead and she will stop at nothing to find out if her sister is really still alive.

[Audrey · Rating 4 out of 5]

"Is your innocence worth so little that you would concede to the likes of me?" "Perhaps my sister is worth so much, I would pay any price for her."
Good intrigue, multiple stories happening, some of which I wanted more from. It bothered me the twins having similar names Lynette & Lysette. I liked all of the leading men, Simon, Edward and Saint Martin.

[Jasmine]

the premise of this was complicated, and for the first hundred pages i didn't know what was going on—there was a "three days earlier..." section that focused completely on different characters. the plot was engaging, full of espionage and switched siblings.

i really loved all of the characters, and i wish there was more time spent on lysette and james.
