For most of Bryce Clark’s adult life, he had been plagued by guilt over what he claimed was a wrong decision; a lapse of better judgement on his part. He hadn’t lived the life he wanted to live, or thought he deserved—until Alexis came along.
Alexis Summers—a breath of fresh air, blown in for Bryce to inhale, allowing him to once again breathe; and live. She ensnared his heart, mind, body, and soul. She consumed him, completely.
Inseparable from the moment they first met, Bryce and Alexis are now engaged and expecting a baby. Bryce has everything he has ever wanted; wealth, the girl, and to become a father. Will he finally achieve his ultimate attainment? Or will the guilt of what he deems are his mistakes—his sins—ruin everything?
About Me: Born and raised in Melbourne, K.M. Golland is a bestselling author with HarperCollins (HQ), and a two-time Romance Book of the Year award nominee. A lover of golden retrievers, bridges, music, and cars, she's also quite happy to support a very healthy high heel obsession.
Get ready! The time has come to finally find out what it's like to be inside Bryce's head.
I must admit, I never had any intention to write this novella. It was supposed to be bonus content for my website and to fill the gaps I purposefully left in Fulfillment. Let's just say there are many very persuasive people out there who begged for more than just bonus content. So when I finally decided to deliver you this novella, I knew I did not want to rewrite their story in his point of view. Instead, Attainment is a more detailed version of the bonus content I had planned to release and, to be honest, a much better way to give you all closure to Brylexis' love story.
I had an absolute ball writing this. So thank you for asking me to do it. I'm glad I listened. K.M.
This was a perfect way to end Alexis and Bryce's story. I 've been dying to get into Bryce's head so getting his pov was just what I needed. He's is a very sexy cocky alpha who is so protective of the ones he loves. Yes it's a lil over bearing at times would you want to kill him ye but I wouldn't want him to change. The love he has for Alexis and the kids it so strong and he will do anything to protect them. The way he is with Brayden was so cute again super protective but adorable. You have just got to love this man.
Alexis deals with a issues with herself in this book after having the baby and what happened when she had Charlotte. Alexis confidence was a lil low it was hard to see her like this. I m so used to seeing her strong and confident but I understood why she was feeling like she did. Alexis was still very strong so don't think she turns into a weak woman she doesn't it's just a lil bump in the road.
Again these two are super hot for each other and can't keep there hands of each other. I don't thing these well ever get enough of each other. It just shows how these to meant to be together. After everything they went through it just made them stronger as a couple and family.
I would highly recommend this book. I enjoyed every part of it and getting into Bryce's head made this book great. Bryce and Alexis's story is so good it is full of drama and lots of hot sexytime. The story is very addictive and made me want more and more. The characters were so good as well the kids are the cutest thing ever and Alexis and Bryce's friends are funny great and some even sexy. I m dying to know more about the other characters in this book and I m delighted there is more. I love this serie.
This Novella (3.5) in the Temptation series is completely from Bryce's POV, but its not a rework of the series of his perspective this book fills in some of the gaps left from Fulfilment, and takes the story further.
I really liked this book, from reading the others in the series I always enjoyed the chapters from Bryce's POV and this didn't disappoint, we get to hear his thoughts on becoming a father, the consequences of a recent death, his marriage and life after.
His POV is funny, cocky, arrogant and at times shows his vulnerable side and KM Golland's writing of this in excellent, she truly gets inside a blokes head, and there are some really laugh out loud moments.
I always look forward to the epilogue in this series, this is the best one yet, it shows us what life is like for the Clark family seven years later.
This has been a fantastic series of life's ups and downs and i'm truly sad to say goodbye to them, these people have become friends, ones I will return to time and time again!
Bryce has only had a few POV chapters in the past books so I was super excited to get my hands on Attainment. I really wanted to know what was truly going on in his head, especially after everything with Gareth and Chelsea.
This book is passionate, sexy, heartwarming and completely fulfilling. Anything you thought you were missing in the previous three books you will get in this book.
Alexis and Bryce are still hot and heavy during the pregnancy and after having Brayden. Their passion and love for each other only seems to grow stronger throughout the series and it is truly breathtaking. I’m fucking floored, stumped; halted in my tracks. My fiancé is holding our son in her arms and it’s the most amazing thing I have ever seen.
Bryce is dealing with his guilt after Gareth’s death, feeling that if he would have paid more attention to him in the past months that he would have been able to catch on to what Gareth was going through. Bryce suffers a battle within himself of guilt and letting go. He has a family now and he knows it’s not good to carry all this weight around and for the sake of them, he knows he has to figure out a way to let it go.
After giving birth, Alexis suffers with her self-esteem issues and the “oh so loveable” (not) Chelsea does not help matters. Yes, she is back, even after being warned off in the previous book. Bryce is obviously in mad passionate love with his fiancé and has a new baby boy but Chelsea doesn't care. She truly believes they belong together. Bryce is oblivious to Chelsea’s feelings but he overhears a conversation between Jessica and Alexis that makes him question his relationship with his friend.
It was really nice to see their family dynamic grow and change throughout the series but this last book really brings everything together and it’s truly wonderful.
I enjoyed seeing all the special moments we missed in Fulfilment acknowledged in Attainment. Brayden’s birth was especially beautiful and really kind of funny. I take a hold of her hand, remembering not to pat her. “Just breathe, Hunny.”
“Seriously?” she huffs.
“That’s what you told Lucy to do.”
“I know, but its bullshit.”
“I just thought—“
“Shut Up!”
(Another note to self: shut up.)
Keeping the passion going while having children is tough. Bryce is learning that the hard way but he absolutely loves being a dad and that will always come first. Alexis has been through the baby stage before with Nate and Charli so she is a little more relaxed about everything.
Brayden playfully shouts, snapping me right the fuck out of pussyland and placing me directly into daddyland. I freeze solid, my cock stunned into immobility.“Don’t you dare stop,” Alexis hisses.
“But Brayden sounds like he’s—“
“Bryce Edward Clark! You came in here, you stalked me like a friggin’ hungry lion, you and your dirty mouth had me all but coming onto your hand, and now you want to stop? Well, screw you! Either you start that cock of yours back up again and make me sink my teeth into your shoulder, or get the fuck out while I finish myself off.”
What. The. Fuck? I’m speechless, impressed, and completely turned on by her demanding fiery attitude.
If you read the Temptation Series then I definitely would recommend you read this. I am not usually a fan on Novellas but once in a while I come across one that I absolutely love and this is one of them. This just completed the story for me.
Derek and Carly’s story will be next in Attraction- Temptation series #4. I cannot wait to read more by K.M. Golland. This was a first set of books for her and you can see her writing develop beautifully during the course of the series.
Having received an ARC... I am able to review this now...no spoilers... written from Bryce's pov it is somewhat different...it fills the gaps and makes you understand things clearer, not that you didn't really understand them originally, it just paints a much fuller picture in your mind! Well written by a female from a male's perspective...once again...laughing at the narrative. A job well done...felt totally satisfied. Bryce Edward Clark you are something alright! looking forward to many more books from K.M.Golland. I just know, without doubt, I will love them all.
As per usual, Bryce and Alexis has me completely and utterly captivated. Excellent job writing the book from Bryce's POV! Once again, the story evoked so many different emotions in me--it had me laughing and in tears what seemed to be at the same time. I can't get enough of Bryce - he melts my heart at every turn! BRAVO to KM Golland! Fantastic job!! I can't get enough of your work and I definitely can't wait for Attraction!
I have loved all of the books in this series, but this book Attainment is up there with the best .I love how KM Golland could write this from a mans point of view and it pulled all the books together . I laughed , cried and fell in love with Bryce Clark the main male character. What a witty , refreshing story teller KM Golland is and cant wait to read more of her books .Highly recommend the whole series .
I absolutely devoured this novella in Bryce’s point of view. I love KM Golland and I am utterly devastated that this is the end of Bryce and Alexis. In this novella, written in Bryce’s point of view, we get to understand what he sees, what he feels. We learn that Bryce is one funny guy, I mean, really funny. He loves Alexis with everything that is in him, and same with her children who have now become his own. We get to see Bryce’s thoughts on becoming a dad, dealing with Gareth’s death, and his marriage to the woman who stole his heart. It was very insightful and very well written. I’ve always been hesitant to read books that are written in the opposite character’s point of view, afraid that it’s just the same story being told in a different perspective. I don’t want to read the same story twice. This was not one of those. It told us stories that were not in the first three novels. KM Golland, I WANT MORE BRYLEXIS!!! Really, I really, really do. Five stars, once again. Very well written, very humorous, and very sexy. I love it!
Reviewer: Kaylene - Magic Within the Pages Rating: 5 Stars I waited for this book to come out, one clicked it immediately and read it within two days. It was a fun look at the relationship between Bryce and Alexis but from Bryce’s POV and oh what a POV he has. There are some hilarious moments in the book, actually laugh out loud moments. I wont spoil them but there are at least two or three where I literally laughed so loud it was embarrassing.
This book is by an Australian author and as it was purely from Bryce’s POV it was a bit of a page turner. I found that I got a better insight into his character. Temptation, Satisfaction and Fulfilment were a great series and I thoroughly enjoyed them. This seemed like a logical follow on to one of my favourites series of books.
Well done again Ms Golland, your writing skills are exceptional and your sense of humour is fantastically fun to read.
I loved having Bryce's POV finally. I got parts of it in the last book for a split second, but I really enjoyed this one. This isn't as long as I would have like it but it was definitely a nice closing to the end of this series between Bryce and Alexis. :)

I was so excited when this book came out I could not wait to read from Bryce's point of view. What can I say about this book that has not already been said other then buy the Temptation series you won't be sorry :)
Yet another amazing story from K.M and i loved it !!! This one is done in Bryce's pov starting from just before the birth of Brayden and finishing with the honeymoon and omg it has so many laugh out loud moments in it !!! some sad moments too but brilliantly written !!!
Aaaa she does it again love love love km golland and adore these book brylexis are no doubt the best book couple ever can't wait for Carly and Derek's story
This novella in the Temptation Series is completely from Bryce's POV. It is not Fulfillment from his POV, it fills in the blanks for the gaps of their life from the end of the Fulfillment until the epilogue two years later.
I just loved reading his thoughts; it just made the story that much sweeter. And we get to hear his thoughts on becoming a father, death, marriage and life after.His POV is so Bryce. He is funny with a cocky edge. He can be serious, and yes emotional. KM did a great job getting into his head- so much so you’d think it was a man that wrote it!
I always look forward to the epilogue in every book. Sometimes, I hope it's years down the line so we can see the family all grown up. This one was the best one yet, it shows us what life is like for the Clark family seven years later. So exciting!!
The Temptation Series was great and I am so glad to have had the chance to read these books. KM made me a fan of her series and most likely any story she writes in the future!
yeah. lemme tell u what Mr. Bryce Clark did that made me swooning over him. 1. self-made Hotel Chain mogul 2. own a basement full of his boytoy : sports cars, luxurious cars, classic cars, harley, badass bike 3. own a Crow, as in Heli 4. is a biker ever since his kiddo time 5. is a real deal guitarist and in a band 6. is teaching Martial Arts 7. hates Clown, and its so fuckn adorable. 8. loves cooking.
who would be more perfect than Mr. Bryce Clark? pssst. he is a wife-snatcher! ;p
i really love the Bryce POV of the whole BryLexis story. plus this is more of fill holes from Alexis POV, not retelling all over. waaaaay interesting this way. how Bryce thinks when Alexis labor and parenting Brayden are wayyyyyyyyyy too hilarious.
and u'll be surprise, our tall, broading, demanding Bryce is actually more of boyish Bryce at his own head.
I should have listened to my gut instinct and not bought all books in this series immediately. I usually don't read romance books with children in it, it's just not something I overly care for and rarely find satisfying in the end. Where the Temptation series is concerned everything turned out fine, rather corny in some parts and too sugary (keyword: Brylexis --> an acronym for Alexis and Bryce, the two MCs *shudder*). Personally, I think this trilogy is drawn out too far and has a lot of repetitive sex scenes for padding. The first instalment was really sexy, the attraction between the two MCs shown in a very captivating and charismatic way. This tension got kind of lost later and the story started dragging. I go with a B for the first part, a C for the second and a C+ for the last instalment.
Number 3.5 was quite nice, allowed me to revisit the characters and gets a B.
Still with the sex stuff. I think I would have loved the series if there were less sex, coz seriously, it was too much! I've read THIS MAN series, and there were lots of love scenes but it was great and it didn't come to a point where I ended up skipping it. What I also didn't like was that the love scenes were too damn long!
I love Father Stearns! I've been reading book 1 to 3 right after the other. I stopped and read 2 different novels coz maybe I've had too much of the story. When I picked up this book again, surprisingly, I got more interested and liked the novel again..
It made me cry, when the someone was telling jessica about her insecurities.
Theirs was a love story that had a bad start but ended perfectly.
"Bryce, I just want you to know that deciding to go back to work three years ago was one of the best decisions I have ever made....Giving you permission to kiss me was another."
I loved that this story was told entirely from Bryce's POV. What can I say? He is every woman's perfect Alpha, swoon-worthy guy, your dream husband. What makes me love him even more was how much he loved Alexis and her children as if they were his own.
If only there was someone like him for every woman in this world...oh well. One can only wish.
The perfect ending to an amazing series of books. I was recommended these books and I've spent the last week with Bryce and Alexis. Someone said that they would become like friends and that's the exact way I would describe them. The first two books were very good the last two books were fantastic. The author has an incredible way of making you live through the events with the characters, it all seems so real. So much so that I'm missing them now I've finished. This book is in Bryce's perspective and it's brilliantly written. I've laughed out loud, sobbed and gasped with shock during reading this series. I can't wait for the next installment. Thank you for sharing <3
I love this series. This book gives you an insight of Bryce's thoughts and feelings. How he is struggling with the loss of his cousin, feeling guilty over what happened. His love for Alexis gets stronger by the day and even more so now that she is pregnant with their son. I love the humour in these books. OMG, she had me LOL a few times while reading in the lunchroom with co-workers looking at me strangely. I can only recommend the Temptation series. It will make you believe in true love and the characters are addictive. Another great book:) Looking forward to reading the next book in this series.
I really enjoyed the first three books in this series. So I was a little reluctant to buy this thinking it would be a rehashing of what I've already read. While there was some overlap, it wasn't a lot AND it was in Bryce's POV.
I absolutely loved getting his reactions and seeing a softer side of him. The scene at Gareth's grave between him and Alexis was very moving. The wedding vows were perfectly Brylexis and that is all I can say about it.
This was a great wrap up to their story, even though I'm sure there is bound to be more. It was also a great set up for Derek and Carly's story!
**Thank you KM Golland for yet another piece of literary Brylexis gold.**
Realizing this installment was intended to provide a close to Bryce and Alexis' love story, I couldn't help but go feel a little sad at the end. Sad that their story (for the most part) is now complete. But, I'm also excited about taking on Carly and Derek's story--which I'm sure Brylexis will be a part of. So here's to another great series. We're all waiting ::cough cough:: :)
I'm gonna miss them. It is very rare to read from the POV of a guy. Most writers would confused themselves in the middle of the story. But this chica, she did not. I will never get tited reading the series. And this last part of the story of Bryce and Lexi make me want to read it from the start all over again. I never said "I Love You" to people I barely know. But I did to KM 'coz she is a humble person when you talk to her. Thanks Big Star for writing these books. Can't wait for "Attraction"
I simply cannot get enough of Bryce and ALexis - I loved this book. And from Bryce's POV, WOW!!! I knew Bryce was playful but to see it from his POV, I really got to know his more playful side and just love him even more. And Mrs. Alexis is her usual self - just an amazing mom, lover and friend. She is a strong woman and deserves all the happiness she has now. This is a great series and a MUST read!!!
Ummm...what can I say, I absolutely loved this book, I love Bryce, I love his mouth, the way he thinks, I love his fav Word "fucking" . I fell in love with these characters from book one, I was hooked. I'm that person that never wants their story to end, and this being in Bryces pov....I was in shock, awe, and in love with him all over again....I look forward to more Bryce pov tidbits( puuulllleaseeeee)
Wow, just wow. I absolutely love the 1st three books but reading this novella from Bryce POV has just allowed me to love & fully complete this series. I'm gutted this is the end but knowing there will be a new book about Carly & Derek is helping me with the loss of reading the books.
Golland, you are a fantastic writer & I can't wait to read your next book. You did the right thing by writing, just need to writer quicker so I can keep reading your books!!
