Tempting Her: A Spicy Forbidden Novella
She was never meant to be mine.
Amber was my brother's girl, the one I watched from the sidelines, the one I never touched, the one I couldn't stop wanting. For three years, I kept my mouth shut and my hands to myself, I swallowed the jealousy, the guilt, and the obsession just to let him have her.
But now he's out of the picture.
She's in my bed, moaning my name like she was always mine. It started with one weekend, and now I can't let her go.
Amber thinks what we're doing is wrong, twisted, shameful, and unforgiving. But I don't care because I've waited long enough. Now that I have her. I'm not losing her again.

ARC review! A spicy, forbidden novella I cannot recommend enough. This was my first book from Heather Valerie and I was thoroughly impressed. From an author who doesn’t dabble in Romance, she hit the nail on the coffin.
Such a spicy, fast paced novella I could not put down. It’s written as a dual POV between Amber and Asher. The plot is slim, but the smut is plenty. I look forward to diving into more books by this author!

For an author who hasn’t done any smut, this book isn’t too bad! It’s quick paced, and fun. This was my third ARC read for this amazing author! Her writing style is great and her stories are always fun!
Thank you Heather for another amazing read, looking forward to your next ones.

Fun, spicy, short story... I know it's a Novella, but I still want more to the story. It was fast paced, smutty, some drama. I hope the story continues honestly or is interconnected and attached to other books. First, time reading this author and it was well written.
I received an advance review copy free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Wow! This book hit all the right spots,the spice was there from the very beginning and I had gasped twice by the time I was half way through chapter 2.
This is a quick and easy read, perfect for a lazy Saturday or the daily commute but it’s a book you will not want to put down thanks to the amazing tropes, the incredible spice and everything about Asher.
This was the first book I had read by Heather Valerie but it certainly won’t be my last.

This was fun! ☺️ This is a fast paced, short, and incredibly smutty novella. There wasn’t very much plot at all but, but the smut, the mouth on Asher… Wooooo 😮💨🥵 Definitely the type of smut I throughly enjoy reading. I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for some quick spice!

Tempting Her is book one in the Tainted Heat series and is the story of Amber and Asher. This is a brother's ex, found family, off limits romance.
Amber had always had a crush on her boyfriend's twin brother, when she learns her boyfriend cheated on her, she asks her ex's brother to dinner and Asher finally claims what he always wanted for himself, Amber. He saw and wanted her first but his shitty brother made her his. Now that he cheated, Asher seizes the chance to make Amber his.
Asher's care and concern for Amber is palpable but so is his desire and his filthy mouth that brings her to her knees. Amber wants Asher but feels like the messiness is not good for either of them and Asher shows her that they deserve one another and that neither of them are to blame for the fallout from her dumping her ex.
This is a shirt, spicy read with steamy scenes that will leave you panting and wanting more. This is a perfect afternoon read that will get your blood pumping but will also satisfy your romance needing heart in so many ways.
I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Review:
🖤Tempting Her🖤
By Heather Valerie
🖤 Ex’s twin brother
🖤 Forbidden Romance
🖤 Second Chance
⭐ 4/5
Asher, he saw her first but didn’t get her
Amber, she felt like she was with the wrong brother
Asher and Amber finally get their chance
This is a short and fast novel and revolves around Asher and Amber. They have known each other for some years and whereas Asher saw Amber first it was his twin who got her. For three long years before she found out about his cheating. When she turns toward his twin there is no denying that it isn’t only about retribution but a deeper feeling that always was there. About the one she deep down truly wanted and who now gets his chance with the girl he always wanted too. Finally Amber finds the love she longed for with everything that belongs with it.

Picked this up as a recommendation. If you enjoy exs twin brother, forbidden with lots of smexy that is not to long you would enjoy this one. Asher has always wanted Amber and now his brothers mistake is his gain and Amber is going to be his. Lots of smexy in the book but it does still have a plot it’s just slim. Fast paced easy read.

Of Blood yet different
The new to you authors are always exciting. It definitely was a set pace. Not dark, slightly forbidden but comforting.
"He saw me" was a loaded statement and answered unspoken questions. He really never second guessed himself. She carried doubt and guilt like a badge.
His patience won him the prize, her broken heart won her a life she deserved.

This is a short novella packed with spice and just enough story to keep it intersting. The characters are written as real flawed people and I love that. It was an enjoyable read.
