Touched By You #12

Vivid Temptation

Rate this book
Natalie had found out submitting was not a way to lose herself, but to find herself. Trust and complete love were the only way. Trusting her husband was sexy; it was the path to intense pleasure. Tanner loves her back just as much, maybe more.

“You are the joy of my life. It took me so long to tell you how I felt. I loved you from the first moment I saw you. Some would say that love at first sight can’t happen. But it did for me,” Tanner whispered to her.

Vivid Temptation, 12th book in the Touched By You series (dramatic conclusion to the love story) is a romantic tale that takes place in Montréal, Canada. Touched By You is a unique love story, with full character development, and added intrigue from the billionaire’s life, that will make each book in the series hard to put down.

What can I say that I already haven't said before. I love, love this series and Emily Jane Trent is such an amazing author, every time I read this series I felt every emotion, and I could imagine all the places that Tanner and Natalie had traveled. I love how everything came together in this story and I loved reading about Jazzy and Ellis and Asher. I loved all the characters in this book, especially Tanner and Natalie's hot sex scenes. It was such an amazing story, I hate to see it end. I am a fan for life.

I loved this final book, there were so many highs but man there were some pretty sad parts too that had me crying like a baby. I thought it was so sweet reading about Natalie and Tanner ice skating at Rockefeller Center, if you have ever been there it is so beautiful and romantic, I love it. I felt bad for Tanner that he felt that he might not be a good father because of his own childhood but I was happy he was not going to let that get in the way of them being happy. Of course like usual the sex scenes were hot, loved the spanking session. I like how strong Natalie was, how she was willing to see her father again to get the answers she has longed for even if they were hard to hear. I enjoyed reading about everything Natalie, Tanner, and her family did over Christmas and I loved reading about Asher. I am not sure what Sean Reid has to do with this story, I don't think he plays a big enough part in the book to warrant a whole chapter about him unless there are going to be more books featuring him???? I love that Andre and Sara are going to be together finally. I was shocked at what happened next, I never saw that coming but what he told Natalie, it gave her some closure. The surprise Tanner gave to Natalie for their anniversary was fantastic. All kinds of good news comes from Jazzy and then Cheryl but right after one of the worst things happens and I can't believe it, my mouth hits the floor and the tears start to pour out of my eyes. It is so tough reading about Tanner, how he is trying to get Natalie to wake up, my heart was breaking at how scary this situation was, even if deep down I knew she would not pass I was fearful of so many other things happening to her, what would she be like, would she have major damage? The love Tanner and Natalie have for each other is wonderful and I love them as a couple. Then the ending comes and it couldn't have been more romantic, more perfect, I loved this ending for them.

This review is meant for installments #4 through #12.

Our dominant billionaire Tanner continues to amaze and enrapture Natalie. Being so innocent, Tanner is taking charge of her sex education into the dark corners of passion.

These installments give us very hot sexy scenes plus plot and character development showing the changes this passionate romance has on both our main characters. Owning her own sexuality is difficult for Natalie. She has grown from an innocent virgin, into Tanner's goddess of kink. In order for her to accept her desires, she has had to come to believe that what she is feeling is not a deviant desire where she can loose her sense of self. Tanner's patience and understanding is the catalyst to enabling Natalie to come to terms with reality. Our author has done a great job of developing these characters to the point you as the reader will feel deeply empathetic to their feelings and handling of the obstacles that arise.

Tanner's jealousy is forever an issue. Whether because he is so controlling or because he feels insecure, his reactions are meteoric if any man looks at Natalie or he perceives any interest on her part toward a male person.

It impressed me how Natalie's character reacts to Tanner's emotions. Although she might be upset with him, she never really looses control of her temper and always reacts with deep love and understanding. Somehow the love she feels for him helps her deal with his temper and remain loving and forgiving. I think this is why once he has calmed down, Tanner always promises to do better and his love grows for her. Now if she would only concede to not dressing so alluring when they go out, he might be able to deal with his jealousy better.

This was a great series to read. It is erotica at its best! Full of love, passion and sexual encounters that are each uniquely orchestrated and described. Top that with a plot line that draws you in and you have a winner!

Tanner and Natalie's story has turned into a magical journey ! I can't say enough how much I have enjoyed reading this series, between the story line, characters, beautiful country settings and just the love of two people that developed from a chance meeting at a concert to being a family !

This last installment may have been the most emotional of all the books for me, between family drama (Nicholas), jobs, wedding, babies and a life threatening illness.....I laughed, cried and cheered while reading !!

From Tanner going from a man that never thought he would find love and or even want to find love to finally find Natalie and fall in love and to want a family of his own was a miracle in his eyes but Natalie new all along that he would be an amazing father if he gets the chance. But when a mysterious illness strike Natalie will she ever be able to give him a family that now he wants or will she even make it through the illness just to stay alive ??

Emily I can't that I you enough for writing such a strong series ! I loved every single book !! Can't wait to see Emily and Tanner pop up in other series !!

I received this ARC book in return for my honest review and I say you MUST READ them all !!

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, Emily does not disappoint. I have loved this series from the beginning, and this conclusion just has me blown away.

We see everything come full circle on this incredible journey. From their first encounter, the relationship they built (despite the many obstacles), their careers, their wedding and SO much more. The places that Natalie and Tanner have been just take your breath away. I enjoyed the other characters and the glimpses into their lives, like Natalie’s sister Jazzy and her husband Ellis. All the characters held me captive while we ventured to see what would happen next.

I won’t give anything away, but there are some turns in this last story that I was not expecting. The only bad thing I have to say is that when it got towards the end, everything felt rushed…perhaps because there was so much going on. With that being said, it was still a fabulous conclusion to the story. It didn’t keep me from loving the book, the series, or the author. I recommend this book, as well as every book in the series.

Well done Emily! Well done!

I was given a copy on Viv Tempttion for a review and I was utterly BLOWN away! I have Followed Natalie and Tanners story from the very beginning and to read the final installment.................Heart wrenching to say the least. Emily Jane Trent in a master of the art of bringing you into the story as if you are living it yourself. I felt like i lived through the happiness and pain through all 12 books and I also felt like i traveled to all of the places Natalie and Tanner vivited throughout the entire series. The love they have for each other is phenomenal and the strength of that love showed through especially in this final book. Sad to see the end but am glad i was on the journey with them. All of the characters hold a special place with me. Tanner is the ultimate Alpha male that will do anything for those he loves and he also found strength and faith within Natalie. They complimented each other so well and it will make you feel like you experience all of their pain and happiness while visiting different city and countries.Truly Brilliant!!!

So much has changed for Natalie and Tanner since that chance meeting at that concert. It was a pleasure to see their relationship and their growth as individuals. I fell in love as they fell in love. After every insecurity, jealousy, and fear was laid bare they were truly secure in their love for each other. They found a love so intense and pure that most people could've only dream of it. Seeing the love through Tanner's eyes after he thought his worse fears came true had me in tears and made me a believer in love. If someone who was as broken as Tanner could find a love that pure and strong there's hope for us all.

Wow! Natalie and Tanner tackle several big issues in their lives and relationships with this final installment. There were several surprises along the way that I never anticipated and had me frustrated but trust Emily Jane Trent to navigate us safely through our beloved characters' lives. I don't want to give any of the surprises away, just know that you will get all the steamy sexiness that only Tanner can bring to Natalie along with some life changing decisions and situations that strengthen their love. A fabulous way to conclude the journey for Natalie and Tanner … loved the entire ride!

I was given this book for an honest review. Yet again Emily does it again. This book was the perfect conclusion to Natalie and Tanners story. It's hot, steamy and their love and trust for each other just keeps growing. There are some shocks in this book, Emily knows how to knock your socks off, but I'm not giving away any spoilers, you need to read these books yourselves. A superb read. I will miss Tanner and Natalie bit look forward to more stories from Emily, she is an awesome author.

Okay Tanner is high on the list of book boyfriends. Loved the booked. It was wonderful seeing
him realize how in love he was with Natalie. No spoilers here. I will say the book ends well although right before I was in shock for a few pages. Tanner dominates without being demeaning. He makes you want to give him control. I do wish we had one book to show there lives after all of the changes that occur but it's okay. I look forward to the next series.

Vivid Temptation 12

This such a sexy and loving conclusion to this series. Tanner buys a home in the country to raise their children. He witnesses Natalie go into a coma and is beside himself with worry. After she recovers they work on starting a family. What a great ending! I don't want to tell to much because it'll ruin the plot. I suggest you purchase this series and any of. Emily Jane Trent's books.

This was a great way to end the series. Lots happened in this last one that gave you that closure needed. Just when you think you see the end and it's happy a twist comes in and mixes everything up for a while! But ahhhh the end, so sweet!!!

I really enjoyed Vivid Temptation. I believe Emily ended this series with a bang!!! I'm looking forward to reading Adam and Ella's story. If their chemistry is anything like Tanner and Natalie's, it should be a great read also.
