Twisted Temptation
Rose never expected to find betrayal served up on her own kitchen counter—but there he was, her boyfriend, tangled up with another woman in the most intimate way. Humiliated, furious, and heartbroken, she storms out with no destination in mind—only the overwhelming need to forget.
A hotel bar. A strong drink. And then him. A devastatingly handsome stranger with a wicked smile and eyes that see too much. One heated encounter turns into a reckless proposition, and before she can talk herself out of it, she’s spending the weekend in his luxurious hotel suite, losing herself in the kind of passion that erases all the pain and has a girl having reckless thoughts.
But when Sunday comes, Rose’s world shatters all over again. Because the stranger she gave herself to so completely? He isn’t just anyone. He’s the last person she should have ever touched. And now, there’s no undoing what they’ve started.
Some secrets stay in the dark. Some fantasies should never be acted on. But when desire is reckless, and the heart doesn’t listen to reason, temptation might just be impossible to resist…
🔥 A scorching hot, forbidden romance filled with heart-racing tension, unexpected twists, and a hero who will leave you breathless. 🔥
“It is time for my dessert,” his words whisper against my skin as he leans in to speak directly into my ear. “Do be a good girl and lie still while I have my feast.”

From the opening scene, where Rose discovers her boyfriend's betrayal, the emotional intensity is palpable. Monath immediately puts us in Rose's shoes, feeling her humiliation and fury as she flees, seeking only escape.
The setup for the central conflict is masterful. Rose's decision to seek solace in a hotel bar leads her directly into the path of a "devastatingly handsome stranger." This encounter ignites a spark of reckless passion, drawing her into a weekend of intense, pain-erasing intimacy. Monath excels at building this initial connection, making the reader feel the pull of this potent, temporary escape. The descriptive language around their encounters is vivid and sensual, ensuring the "scorching hot" promise is certainly delivered.
However, the real twist comes with Sunday's revelation. The stranger isn't just anyone; he's "the last person she should have ever touched." This revelation catapults the story from a simple rebound romance into a high-stakes, forbidden affair. The tension ratchets up considerably, as Rose grapples with the devastating consequences of her impulsive actions. Monath skillfully navigates the emotional fallout, exploring the battle between reason and reckless desire.
"Twisted Temptation" is a rollercoaster of emotions, packed with unexpected turns that keep the reader on edge. The hero is indeed breath-taking, and the dynamic between him and Rose is charged with both undeniable attraction and profound complication. If you're looking for a romance that's daring, passionate, and will leave you breathless, this is a definite one-click. It's a testament to the idea that sometimes, the heart truly doesn't listen to reason, leading to the most intoxicating temptations.

Heidi Monath’s Twisted Temptation plunges readers into a whirlwind of heartbreak, impulse, and raw chemistry, delivering a scorching forbidden romance that more than lives up to its title. From the very first scene—when Rose discovers her boyfriend’s betrayal—the emotional intensity grabs you and doesn’t let go. Monath places us squarely in Rose’s shoes, making us feel every ounce of her humiliation, rage, and need to escape.
The setup for the central conflict is masterfully done. Rose’s impulsive retreat to a hotel bar leads to a chance encounter with a devastatingly handsome stranger. What begins as a reckless bid for comfort quickly becomes a weekend of searing, pain-numbing intimacy. Monath captures this connection beautifully—each touch, each moment, filled with urgency and heat. The sensuality is vivid, the chemistry electric, and the escapism is irresistible.
Then comes the twist: Sunday morning's revelation. The stranger isn't just a stranger—he's the one person Rose should never have touched. With that single moment, Monath elevates the story from a steamy rebound to a gripping, high-stakes forbidden romance. The emotional fallout is gut-wrenching, and the tension only deepens as Rose is forced to confront the consequences of her choices. The push and pull between desire and damage is relentless—and utterly addictive.
Twisted Temptation is a rollercoaster of emotions: passionate, daring, and deeply complicated. The hero is breathtaking, not just in looks but in how much he complicates Rose’s world. Their dynamic is laced with fire and vulnerability, and the stakes never feel manufactured—they’re real, raw, and felt on every page.
If you’re searching for a romance that’s equal parts emotional chaos and addictive heat, this is a must-read. Monath reminds us that sometimes, it’s the most forbidden temptations that burn the brightest—and hurt the hardest.

This Novella? Sinfully Addictive.
Okay bestie, let me spill the tea—Twisted Temptation was a total thirst trap of a read, and I devoured it like a midnight snack I wasn’t supposed to have. Rose is our firecracker FMC with sass for days, and Ethan? Yeah… he’s that dangerously sexy mystery man who’ll ruin your sleep schedule. 😈🔥
It’s quick, spicy, and packed with steamy tension that’ll leave you fanning yourself. The banter? On point. The sarcasm? Elite. And the whole taboo “wait… who is he really?” vibe had me hooked.
Now, real talk—there were a few editing hiccups sprinkled throughout, but the story was still such a steamy, suspenseful ride that I couldn’t put it down. Like, I needed to know what was going down (and who was going down, let’s be real).
If you’re craving spice with a forbidden twist, grab this novella. Your TBR—and your hormones—will thank you. 😘

Twisted Temptation is book one of the Fall Into Your Fantasies Series.
Rose has just been betrayed by her boyfriend, and finds solace in drinking at a bar. Enter Ethan who sees her and they have a weekend filled with some smutty moments. The spice is super high between these two. However, when their weekend is over, the truth about who they are is revealed.
I enjoyed the strength of character Rose has with herself. Even though she's been through the ringer a few times, she still keeps getting back up and fighting another day.

“Twisted Temptations” is a quick-burn, steamy contemporary romance. After Rose discovers her boyfriend cheating on her, she storms out of their apartment to an expensive hotel to drink to forget the act. During this time, she encounters a sexy older man—Ethan— with whom she has instant chemistry and a weekend of pleasure. However, there’s more to Ethan than she realizes.
This was a fun, steamy, erotic romp. Although this was a “quick burn”, I would have liked to see more set up with the final reveals so that they’d be much sweeter.
3.5/5

If you are looking for spice, this novella is for you. This book opens and ends with spice. While there is a storyline, at least 80% of this story revolves around Rose and Ethan finding new ways to pleasure each other. What starts out as a drunk night leads to a weekend that ends with a twist that wasn't seem coming at the beginning of the book. This book could have been longer with more details about the characters and more build up, but it is great for a quick, fun read.

Perfect Age Gap Read@
Rose, trying to get away from her relationship troubles indulges herself in a hot, passion filled night. What she didn’t expect is to fall for her older, handsome, delicious one night stand. The connection between her and Ethan is instant and their chemistry is explosive! Unfortunately her good fortune turns sour when some details are revealed.
The path to their HEA is emotional and at times a struggle but the story is engaging and entertaining. I loved every page of it!

This was a fast spicy fun read for me. The way Rose talks to herself would totally be me if I was in her place. The chemistry between Rose and Ethan is WOW! They are exactly what the other needs. There’s allot of spice and it wasn’t rushed through which I loved because it seems like I’ve been reading novellas lately that try to make it spicy but the rush through those parts. Ethan is my dream man. Definitely Recommend

Arc review, thank you to Voracious Readers for providing.
2.5 stars, rounded up for goodreads.
For an erotica, I didn't mind it, however, I wasn't the biggest fan of the FMC and her inner monologue, and I found the way she dealt with the knowledge of who she was sleeping with kind of immature. I also...didn't really find the romance taboo, probably because the FMC didn't know until the end.
A quick, easy read. Good, in general.

I really enjoyed this book! It caught my attention in the first chapter and was one I wanted to read to find out what happened next! I loved the character of the MMC and his integrity and values as well as the FMC with her witty charm and internal struggles we are all familiar with.

lots of spice!!
I liked this book a lot! All I feel it was missing is a bit more character development. But the story was so cute and I spent a nice day reading the whole book start to finish.

This was a great short story that hooked me with the first chapter. I loved Rose's inner monolog and laughed out loud more than once. Plenty of spice well balanced with the plot.
