4.5 Fabulously Hot Stars!!
This is the second book in the Irresistible series and is Jaxon's story. This book brings back the Irresistible 8 ladies along with the hot, yummy guys: Valentino, Marco, Nicholas, Brody, Diego, & Griffin. While the main focus of the book is about Jaxon & Carina's evolving relationship from lovers to best friends, Ms. Pierre throws in a sex club, violence, and an accurate account of how the victim & their family/friends cope with healing after.
I literally could not put this book down while reading it!! The sex scenes were super steamy & the story telling had me living it right along with the characters. I loved this book more than the first in the series.
I'm looking forward to the next book in the series focusing on Diego & Desirae's story!!

This is the second book in the series and hell yeah it's Jaxons story.
In this book we get another chance to read about the hot hunks and the Irresistible 8 ladies. I really loved reading about Jaxon and Carina's friendship and how it blossomed.
This is a brilliant hot steamy read with a great storyline. I loved book one but I enjoyed this one even more.
I'm so looking forward to reading more from this author.

**SHANYN'S REVIEW**
This book picks up where the first ended. Carina and her friends are on summer break, and Nicholas asks them to work at the new club that’s opening within the estate. They are considered “guest relations” for the estate, but can also perform some of their dance routines at the club. It’s a dream job, and all of them are excited.
“They are a fucking wet dream come true……Fucking brilliant idea to have these kinds of performances!”
Jaxon is now back at the estate, and wants to be compensated for all the times he wasn’t allowed. He uses that to his favor, and talks Nicholas into letting him perform with Carina. He will do anything to have Carina back, and make her realize he is the man for her. Valentino and Marco are not happy about all the time Jaxon is getting to spend with Carina.
“He wanted to rip someone’s fucking head off. Carina had only been in their life for seven months and he didn’t want to risk losing her to this fucktard who couldn’t keep his dick in his pants.”
This book is mainly Jaxon’s story. He sets out to win Carina back, but ends up learning that she doesn’t feel the same. There is chemistry between them, but is that enough for a relationship? Will he be okay with her as a friend or still need more? Can they both get past the amazing chemistry?
“I don’t hate you…….But I can’t love you the way you deserve to be loved. I hope you find her…but in the meantime I don’t want to lose you.”
Jaxon drops his loser friends and finds himself gaining a friendship with Carina. Their friendship is a little unconventional, and has some wondering how close they really are.
“Valentino understood the score. Jaxon was her kryptonite. They just had to find a way to counteract it.”
“He had more of Carina during these summer months than he’d ever had with her when they were fuck buddies and attempting to date. She was nothing yet she was everything to him. Jaxon wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize that.”
I loved Jaxon in this book, and hoped he would eventually get over Carina, and move on with someone else. I wasn’t sure if he could stop his man-whore ways, and he did stumble sometimes, but he pleasantly surprised me overall. Jaxon made me laugh, kept me on my toes, and showed me a completely different side of himself.
“Jaxon snorted in disbelief. He cupped his sac just to make sure his balls and dick were still there. If he hadn’t been so content in his life he would’ve thought he was growing a vagina.”
This book had some similarities to the first. For me there were too many details and I found myself skimming in parts. But, that is just my preference, and I’m sure there are people that appreciate all the details. So, I can’t completely fault her for it. But, I would have given more like 4.5 stars if there weren’t so many details. A few times I felt like I wasn’t connecting to the characters as much as I’d like, and I believe it was due to all the excessive details and just too many main characters. That being said, I did like the plot of this book, and how much Jaxon matured. There was some angst in this book, which I absolutely loved. Overall this book kept me intrigued, and wanting to know how things would end up between Jaxon and Carina. But, I didn’t walk away from this book with the hot and steamy feeling that I got from the first. There were a few sex scenes, but nothing like the first book. And, like I said with the first book, I would still read other books by this author, so it didn’t deter me.
“Her skin hummed with anticipation of Jaxon’s touch. She squeezed her thighs as her womb clenched. This could all go brilliantly or it could all go to hell.”
I received a complimentary copy from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review.

WOW once again 5 HOT AND STEAMY SEXY STARS !!
Disclaimer: for the majority of this book you may want to be sure to have a significant other nearby , a lot of batteries , or maybe some cold water and a fan !!
This is book 2 of the series so we have already established everyone's personalities and relationships for the most part. We continue on with the girls being the main attractions at the clubs , but now we have added Jaxon back in the mix. He works hard to try to win Carina back and it is hot and I loved every minute of it , and funny thing is that Marco and Valentino loved it too. At one point it goes way too far and the end result is heartbreaking for both Carina and Jaxon. After some time apart they finally have their heart to heart and things couldn't be better for all involved. Despite all the hotness going on around this group of friends Jaxon and Carina's friendship blossoms into something wonderful and it is the greatest part of this story for me. Don't get me wrong I love them in action but this makes it more believable and easy to read. They truly are in a great place and Jaxon is finally happy in life.
I really just cannot say enough about the chemistry between this group weird as it may be, it just makes it such a great read. It is hot and passionate and heartbreaking all wrapped up into one. The sex is just raw and in your face and WOW it is written so well at times it is almost too HOT !!
There is a big twist in this book that I really did not expect and it turns this book upside down. It is not easy to read through but it brings this group so much closer and really gives such a great sense of who these people really are , not just what we may have labeled them , although a few of them do deserve some nasty labels.
Leti and Jaxon are refreshing , I need to know more about Nicholas and Andrea , Diego and Des are slowly driving me mad !! What will become of Sati and Beatriz and Brody and of course Griffin , will Diego bring his friend to visit and if so what will that mean for Carina !! So many things to look forward to !!
I need so much more from this gang and I truly love Senayda's writing and story lines , very daring but it is great to read about woman who are comfortable with themselves and men who can enjoy and appreciate that. Sometimes we are too quick to judge and I feel there is an underlying message in this book about that. Everyone has a story and sometimes those stories do shape the way you do things and it does take something major or someone major to bring that to light and help you become a better person. Jaxon and Carina are those someone majors for each other. I truly believe their lives would not be the same if they went their separate ways. Yay for Jaxon's persistence !!

Temptation
By: Senayda Pierre
♥♥♥♥
What can I say I love Jaxon. Yep the male whore from book one yep I love him. :)
This story continues from book one. Carina is still with Valentino and Marco but Jaxon comes back into the picture.
Jaxon is a member of Nicholas' sex club and he finds out who is work in there this summer...yep Carina.
Jaxon really believes that Carina is it for him and will do anything to get her to notice him again.
Jaxon is honestly a great guy ...sure he is a man whore (or was ) but he honestly has such a heart to him. Out of all the characters within this story it was Jaxon and Diego(Carinas brother) that pull my interest.
Jaxon is once again heart broken by Carina and that is when Marcos cousin Leti comes to Jaxon and gives him a shoulder to lean on. Jaxon and Leti are amazing together. The friendship they develop is amazing and the jealousy that she has toward Carina is understandable.
Carina is dealing with Valentino and Marco and actually develops a platonic friendship with Jaxon. She is also dealing with drama in regards to pictures that have been leaked from the club.
There is so much that goes on within this book and the irresistible 8 that you have to read it. What I can say is that there are moments ghat you want to cry and moments that are scorching hot you may put your kindle down lol. I really think that book three the story of Diego and Desarae will be incredible. Looking forward to it. ~Tracie

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this series!!! Jaxon is HOT!!! He is the bad boy every woman wants to be with and he is more than willing to accommodate until he meets Carina that knocks him off his feet. The problem is this pisses of his group of guy friends that worship Jaxon! can Carina and Jaxon survive all the issues that come with their blooming relationship?
I love how Jaxon gives up the life he knows for a chance at what he thinks can be love with Carina. He wants more and that just melts my heart if you see what kind of player he was. This book has it all from drama to hot sex. This was my first time reading anything by Senayda Pierre and I am so happy I had the chance to discover this book! The characters are all fun and bring different dynamics to this story. I laughed and at times my blood boiled. The names of the books are so fitting too!! I give this book an easy 4 stars, and cannot wait to see what is to come in the future!!

Seriously out of this world HOT!! I had to get up and walk away for a few minutes, a few times, just to calm my head. Vivid, descriptive, emotionally involved writing that takes you as the reader right along with the characters and there experiences. I absolutely hands down that Temptation has topped Irresistible. Jaxon and Carina continue on their journey of discovery. But this one is completely about Jaxon's world and version. You can see my blog and get some of the excerpts from the book: TOO HOT to include in review ...http://hotromancenovel.com

Hot, Hot, Hot. Temptation is Jaxon's story, resident bad boy that you can't help but love. He is temptation with a capital T. I enjoyed watching Jaxon and Carina's friendship grow. This is book 2 in the series. A great read. I am looking forward to book 3, Desirae and Diego's story. Pick up a copy today, you won't be disappointed.

I'm glad Jaxson got his issues sorted out! Carina was great to read about. It's always nice to read about such a strong, sexy,and caring woman! Can't wait for more!!!
April 24, 2019
This is the third book in this amazing series and is Jaxon and Carina’s story, and how their friendship evolved and blossomed. This is a well written story which is violent, steamy, and with healing and love. I was totally enthralled throughout and look forward to reading more in this intriguing series. I recommend for all readers.
June 27, 2019
Oh my lanta! This book is the third installment and holy hell I loved the first two but this one had so many heartbreaking, sweet, oh my god moments. I loved every minute of it even though there were parts that broke my heart I still want more. I love the relationship between Camila, Mark and Valentino they just make my heart so happy❤️💜 I can’t wait for the next one to come out!

Don’t waste your time
What stated as a very entertaining book turned into the most boring and dragging book ive read in a very long time. Only an extended bed rest kept me reading but it was torture. Sorry i never write negative about a book, but this one... just dont bother.

It was pretty good. Though there was some things that stood out as odd to me I won't expound and give any spoilers. It was worth taking the time to read and I look forward to reading more from these characters and Senayda in the future.
