Tempt: Volume 1
Smart girls don’t use their bodies to get what they want.
Smart girls don’t pursue men they can’t have.
Which means I must have lost my damn mind.
Since the night I tripped into sexy, reclusive genius Theo Sutherland I’ve given in to my body’s desires. Now the need to possess a man I can’t have is overriding my typically excellent smart girl sensibilities.
To everyone else Theo is cold and commanding, but with me he’s sweet, sexy, and almost shy. He shows me a side of him no one else knows, maybe even himself. And that makes me want to conquer him at all costs.
I want him.
He’s mine.
He just doesn’t know it yet.

Fast. Volatile. Gorgeous.
Those are the words they used to describe Kingston Reynolds on the first day of my internship. Well, it wasn’t so much of a description as it was a warning. Do not fraternize with the drivers if you want to keep your job.

I couldn't get enough of Theo & Alison's story. Good characters. Hot chemistry. This was a fun, hot read. I received a free copy of the book. And am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Alexis Anne creates strong characters and a titillating storyline. The main characters, Theo Sutherland-hero and Allison Riley-heroine are both from wealthy families whose parents have mapped out their lives for them. Theo builds his own business but he can’t get Out from the thumb of his detestable father. Allison on the other hand follows her heart and leaves her family business behind.
Theo is elusive but opens up to the alluring Allison. As they get to know each other Allison realizes that Theo is hiding some dark secrets. Secrets that can also bring danger to not only Theo but Allison as well.
Ms. Anne weaves a hang on to the edge of your seat thriller. But she makes you feel like you’re part of the story as you ride along with Theo, Allison and a cast of wonderful supporting characters.

I first want to say that I loved that Ms. Anne gives the readers a breakdown of the cast at the beginning of this book; this was very helpful to me.
Theo + Allison = some amazing chemistry and scorching hot sex! Although the sex was a bit much at times as I would have liked to have more to the story. Don’t get me wrong, I like sex in books, just not at every available surface and sentence.
With that being said this book had me flipping pages until the wee hours of the morning. I just HAD to know what happened with these two characters. There are a handful of surprises that I never saw coming which totally kept me in the book.
Theo is one dark, sexy and mysterious man. Allison is one sweet, sexy and smart woman. Loved both of these characters!

Tempt (Tease Series book 3) by Alexis Anne *****
This story has soooo much, and kept surprising me! A secret affair (with lots of sex), dirty & complicated, but also an intensely sweet & deep romance. Theo is a bad boy with a tragic & dark history - and present. Allison is an amazing, grounded lady who falls hard, without knowing what she's getting into. It takes a committed love to make it all come together. Highly recommend!

I really liked this 3rd book in the series.
Theo is dark and comes from a tragic past. Allison head strung smart girl who falls hard without knowing exactly what was going on.
As usual this author has told a story of romance that is sexy hot and full of love because in the end it is the love that ties it all together.
I volunteered to review an Advance Reader Copy of this book for Rockstar Book Muse

This is a well written book with strong ,well developed characters in Allison and Theo who have a hot chemistry and strong bond. The author does a beautiful job describing her scenes and bringing the heat. There's enough action,romance and surprises to keep you glued to the pages right to the end. I loved and highly recommend this book.

There was so much happening in this story. It was fun, sexy and full of intrigue. Theo was a bad boy, with a dark history that he didn’t want anyone to know about. Nothing stays hidden for ever though and that was just how it turned out.

I have never read anything from this author in the past, but I liked this book a lot. It will definitely not be my last read. I loved both Theo and Allison. It was a really good story.

I received this ARC for an honest review.
Allison is an architect at a prestigious London firm on a temporary basis. Theo is the billionaire who owns the building Allison works in.
Theo and Allison meet at a speakeasy in London and sparks fly immediately. Theo is a brooding, dominant male who doesn't know what to feel about her. Allison only wants a short-term fling because she knows her time is almost up. They share one dance together, but their bodies meld so well, that Allison wants Theo at any cost. He leaves her on the dance floor wanting.
They meet again when Theo's security team is holding up the elevators and Allison is late for an important meeting. Allison is surprised to see Theo again and she can't help but banter with him during their elevator ride, which is not a normal occurrence for Theo because he's always so serious.
Allison's boss offers her a side job to renovate an older building by making it eco-friendly with a very short deadline. Come to find out that Theo is the owner. Allison doesn't know how to react; on one hand she's furious for the duplicity and on the other, she's more than happy to be working with Theo before she heads back to the States.
They come to a mutually beneficial arrangement and there's no holds barred when they go to Theo's apartment.
This is another great start to an Alexis Anne series. I can't wait to see what comes next.

NO! NO! you just did not end it there. Stomping my foot and pouting like a child here. Loved this book and can not wait until the second is released. So will try to wait patiently.
Allison Riley finds herself working in London. Lucky girl, huh. Her friends invite her out to a club. Not just your run of the mill club but a club that you have to have a special invitation to just to get in. There she meets Mr Sexy himself, Theo Sutherland. The problem with Theo is he owns the building she works in.
Allison can not help herself. She finds herself fantasying about Theo every chance she gets. All sex fantasies of course. She wants him so bad and seems determined to have him.
Theo is know for being a cold SOB. People think he is an unhappy angry recluse. Just imagine how surprised Allison’s co-workers were not only to see Theo out at a club but to see Theo ask Allison for a dance. WOW, Mr unsociable himself asking a girl to dance. Impressive!!
Allison see something different in Theo then everyone else sees. There is something about his eyes. She feels deep down she needs to be his life line. That he needs her. She sees a man that is strong, passionate, sexy, and powerful. Can she win the chase on catching Theo? Will Allison’s heart end up broken? For she is only in London for a short time. Is Theo to damaged to be saved or reached?

Allison is in London as a transfer for her work as an architect. Her coworkers have taken her to a speakeasy and while she's dancing she slips and falls into Theo. Theo is a reclusive billionaire with a reputation for being mean. But he's different with her, at least she thinks so anyway from the whole 5 minute dance they have together. That five minute dance starts them down a path together, good or bad only time will tell.
I loved this book. Allison is a strong woman, she knows what she wants and she knows herself well. Theo is quiet, I think he's going to turn out to be a strong thoughtful male, you see glimpses of his true self throughout the story. I can't wait to see the way these characters grow, both together and apart. I literally couldn't put the book down until I'd finished and even without the cliffhanger ending I want more. The chemistry and emotion already flowing between Allison and Theo is addictive.

The first installment in this serial is structured well, has a great and easy to relate to voice, and a dynamic cast with fleshed out backgrounds. However, it's just not for me. Would recommend to hardcore fans of category romance.

A fabulous first part to one hot serial! Theo is definitely on my book boyfriend list. Gotta go grab the next part!

A Taste
A nice snippet into what could be a really good story. Will just have to wait and see where it goes.

Good story
This was a good story. Just not my type of book. I know everyone likes different things. I just have a hard time with these kinds of books.
