TRISTEN'S DESIRE: A Second Chance Dark Romance

by C.S. Solarys

A hot angsty second chance dark romance from author C.S. Solarys.

Tristen Morgana

How do I tell the man I’ve fallen for that I’ve been living a double life?

Well … I don’t.

I let him find out in the most scandalous and brutal way possible. Then I pick up the pieces, mend the bridges, heal the wounds.

I use everything I have to get the life I want. The life I could only dream of.

And then I get to know the real person behind the brilliant smiles, the forever promises, and the steamy nights … until his past finally catches up with him.

After which, I have to answer, Is love enough?

Abso-f*cking-lutely NOT.

Lorcan Greene

I’ve fallen in love.

Hard.

Deep.

Fast.

Till I can’t breathe right when she’s not near me.

And I revel in that cloud-nine feeling until I run back to my past for answers.

Answers that will break us all.

But one thing I’ve ruined her for everyone else.

And that ring finger won’t be empty for long.

Tristen’s Desire is a steamy, second-chance dark romance. It is the second book in the Bedroom Roulette series, an interconnected trilogy. Expect a possessive hero, groveling, and explicit content. Recommended for mature readers only.

After the cliffhanger in the last book, this one picks up right from the start is is a very spicy continuation of the last part. Lorcan and Tristen are explosive together and throughout this story they wade through tons of secrets, figuring out their role together, working through past challenges, and securing their future.

This book was very enjoyable and I liked the characters. I thought that Lorcan and Tristen's chemistry continued and it was hot as fire and made this book really fun as they worked through things.

The highlight of this book though is definitely the audiobook narrators. Throughout the entire story I keep thinking about how perfectly Michelle Sparks and Brandon Francis complement each other. Their duet narration really brought so much to this story and I loved it.

Our favorite power couple is back, hotter and wilder than ever! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

If you've already read Lorcan's Obsession, expect everything, but tenfold: tenfold steaminess, tenfold obsession from both characters, tenfold rollercoaster of emotions.

From tears to blushing and swooning, there was not a dull second, and while Tristen and Lorcan are growing more obsessed with each other through it all, we are too!
Lorcan definitely made me color-blind lol, and Tristen, well... she's a real badass queen. 🔥
Though my favorite characters have to be Lucerne and Scarlett, and the bond they've built with Lorcan just melted my heart, but I won't spoil more... 🤫

CS Solarys once again awed me with her steamy, sensual, and unique quill.
As for the narrators, they really brought life to this power couple, making the story hotter (if that's even possible 😅)

PS: No I'm hanging on that cliffhanger, waiting impatiently for book 3!!

I've been looking forward to reading this book because book 1 left us on a cliffhanger. The resolution to the cliffhanger from book 1 happened within the first few chapters. The next few chapters were super steamy. Everything was going so well that you were just waiting for something bad to happen. And the bad thing was...not good. However, if Tristen and Lorcan would just communicate it wouldn't have been as bad as it was. Things sort of snowballed and got worse before they months later got better. I really appreciated that the author allowed time to pass during the good times and the bad. A lot of times a book happens within a month or so, but this one had months of good and then months of bad. Brandon Francis and Michelle Sparks narration was fantastic and they really brought the characters to life.

Tristen and Lorcan

Thanks Blue Nose Audio for this ALC.

Lorcans Obession ended on a cliffhanger. I was so happy to listen to this.
Wow this is hotter than the book 1.
Lorcan is all in and Tristen is still holding at times

Things are not easy for these two. Miscommunication and secrets.

Michelle Sparks and Brandon Francis were fantastic bringing them to my ears.

This one threw me for a total head spin, it was such a wild ride. CS Solarys writing is so unique and soooo spicy! Book one left us on a cliffhanger that had me reeling and luckily book two picks up right where we left off.

Michelle Sparks and Brandon Francis were once again an epic narration duo. I could listen to these two literally all day long, they are so talented!

Narrators: 5⭐️

I loved the first book so I was pumped to read this! it didn't disappoint! I loved the whole boss babe to the world but soft for him. I was a little disappointed how she forgave him so quick! girl should have made him work for it. its a good and entertaining story! lots of spice and jealousy.

Bring on the steam!

Lorcan and Tristen are back again and spicier than ever! They are definitely obsessed with each other! I love how much Lorcan loves Tristen but also the way he loves her kids as his own. Tristen, hands down, is a bad 'B'. Her love is amazing but her strength is out of this world! Michelle and Brandon narrated this story perfectly! I can't wait for book 3!

I don’t even know where to start! So glad to get my hands on this after book 1 left us in a cliffhanger, but this was so good and world wind of emotions, but so so so HOT!!! 🥵

Listening to this made this book even more HOT! Gosh Michelle Sparks and Brandon Francis did an incredible job as these characters and made the book even better!

There was a lot that was going on between Tristen and Lorcan but in the end they knew they were made for one another ❤️🎧

Thank you Blue Nose for the ALC!
