Flirting with the Devil
Sometimes the greatest sins...are born out of love.
Federal Prosecutor Samantha Bennett knows how to weed out the bad guys and put them in their place—behind bars and that’s exactly what she did to the mob boss of Vendetti la Cosa Nostra. But her dedication cost her what she values most, her marriage, because she didn’t see her husband’s betrayal coming—at all.
Wade Evans will do anything to get Sam back—and a plot that enlists the people she relies on the most is his best chance of winning her heart a second time. But suddenly Wade’s not sure he’s the right man for his soon to be ex-wife, because he wasn’t the one to save her from the violent mob hit. He failed and the man she trusts most, Ty Beckinsale, saved the day.
When Sam takes a vacation alone, both men arrive to keep her safe from a hitman determined to put her six feet under. And now Sam must decide if heaven on earth is possible, or if the devil who stole her heart will lead her straight to hell.

2.5 stars.
The last of the five Noble Pass Affaire series and my least favorite. The story was a little shallow and unfocused. It mostly missed the mark for me.

Samantha Bennett is a spunky, no-holds-barred top prosecutor with a hit man after her thanks to her taking down a mob boss. Ty Beckinsale, her best friend and body guard, and Wade Bennett, her almost ex-husband, are determined to keep her safe, but who will she turn to in her hour of need?
The character and plot development in this story was spectacular. I could not put it down and couldn't wait to get to the end to find Sam's HEA, but at the same time, I didn't want to get to the end and have the story over. This story and those two men are hot with a capitol H-O-T!! But who will she give her trust and her heart to?
The only negative I found with this book was that it wasn't long enough. I wanted more! Now I can't wait to read the other stories in this series and get to know the other players and their loves!

I loved this story. Samantha Bennett is a federal prosecutor who just won a big case against the mob. Wade Bennett is the husband she left 6 months earlier when she felt he was having an affair. Ty Beckinsale is her closest friend who also happens to save her from a violent mob hit. Flash forward a few months and the vacation Samantha takes on the advice of some friends. Little does she know she's been set up, and the mob is still out to get her. She shows great chemistry with both men, but which one will she choose? You need to read the book to find out!

Samantha Bennett is both elated and sad at the same time. You can almost feel her emotions coming off the page. Wade Evans should be happy with his life but circumstances have changed that. A valuable lesson is learned and one that will be interesting to see how Samantha handles it. Plus you will want to see how the men in her life handle the mystery and suspense.
The author has created a character named Ty that left me wondering what his story is. I tried to find out if she’s going to give her readers more info on him but couldn’t find anything. This just means that we’ll have to keep reading her work in order to see what else she has in store for her characters. A reader who gets invested in the author’s characters is a good thing.
This author knows how to surprise her readers and when the right moment occurs to add in some hot lovin’. But that lovin’ is not all that occurs in her stories. She creates scenes that grab the reader’s attention so that you have no choice but to get comfortable and continue reading. I can attest to that because I tried to read this book during my lunchtime and was almost late getting back to work. If you need a hot short read than make sure to put this at the top of your list. This is also a book that I would read again.

Flirting with the Devil is a lovely book that highlights that even the strongest relationships can go through a wobble. The book is set in the beautiful Castle Alainn in Colarado. The main characters are Samantha a kick ass lawyer who has just had the win of her career,by putting away a mob crime boss! Unfortunately this leads to a hit being put on her. Wade is Samantha estranged husband who is a successful architect and designer. Lastly you have Ty who is Samantha private investigator and friend. You can see early on that there is going to be one person left with a broken heart ,but the book is written so beautifully that you find yourself routing for them all. This book is beautifully written ,with characters that are easy to love and connect with. I have not read any of Kyms books before but after reading this I will definitely read more and can't wait to read Red Lace. Well done Kym a beautifully written book.

I received an ARC for an honest review.
That's it! I'm moving to Noble Pass and taking up permanent residence in Castle Alainn. I will say I was Team Wade for most of the book, but did have moments of being Team Ty. Samantha is a lucky woman to have two gorgeous men watching over her, but I'm such a sucker for the HEA that I was really rooting for Wade. Love Ty too though.

"Flirting with the Devil" is an action packed crime solving investigation and marital romance novel proving that love and trust are seeds that need constant watering and care, and that sometimes loving someone means to go the extra mile and to let it go in a display of unselfish love. Truly a wonderful story that will take you through the self evaluation of the principal characters as well as your own relationship with your significant other. I fell in love with how all the characters love each other, as well as how deeply they suffered pain, loneliness, desolation, and fear. There is a character that will steal your heart for sure so I will tease that he will be getting his own book. This is the first book I've read by Mrs.Roberts and it has become the catalyst to make me go shopping for more of her books.

This was a great novella full of romance and suspense. It is one of the five "A Noble Pass Affaire" series. All five are stand-alone and can be read in any order. The characters were well written and the story flowed very smoothly. Samantha is a separated DA who is still very much in love with her husband but fears that he doesn't feel the same. Ty is her investigator and protector. Then there is Wade, her husband and the love of her life. After an attempt on her life after putting away a major crime boss, Samantha goes to Colorada alone. She isn't alone for long though because both Ty and Wade show up to protect her from another attempt on her life.
Will Wade be able to help you see that they are meant to be together forever and protect her so that she has a forever or will Ty take that place in her life?
I recommend this story to anyone who enjoys a fun, quick suspenseful romance. I was given an ARC for a honest review.

What a fun read! This novella had it all...intrigue, action and suspense, love, lust and heartache. And just when you think you have it all figured out, you don't.
Samantha may be awesome attorney that crushes a mob boss, but her love life is in shambles. When she takes off to the mountains of Colorado to celebrate her victory, she learns it's anything but a vacation. Her lead investigator/best friend turned body guard also makes the trip to protect her from the unhappy mobsters and threats on her life. He is also madly in love with her! In steps Sam's estranged husband who is determined to show her that he is still her one and only true love....it gets a little crowded in that Colorado ski resort!
Sam has some decisions to make and it's alot of fun on the ride to the Happy Ever After :)

Samantha Evans Bennett is a fighter in every sense of the word. From living on the streets as a young child, she is taken in by a good foster family and manages to get into University to study law. She is fiesty,fearsome, go for the throat prosecutor. But her love life has gone down the crapper. Now divorced from the man she thought was the love of her life and she now has a hit man after due to her indicting a mob boss.
Wade Bennett thought he had it all. Beautiful wife, flourishing business but SAmmie walked out of his life and he's still not sure why. He didn't think he could be the right man to protect her and has stayed out of her life. But when he realises that she is in danger he flies to her rescue.
Ty Beckinsale, is Sammie's investigator, best friend and now body guard. He also wants to take their friendship further, but she was married to Wade. But now the field is opening up and he's going to make his move!!!
Set at the same Colorado resort as the others in this series, it was great how this book flows into the already made world. With character overlaps from previous books and a stunning snowy setting, this book just sucks you in. Great complex characters and suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat!! Twists and turns in the plot and "i did not see that coming" moments!!
I had to read it all in one go!! Could not put down deliciousness!!!! Will Wade win back his wife and earn her trust again or will Ty crack her armour and make his move and show her how good they could be???? Lovely little moments within the book when Sammie is reading another book from the series!!
I wanted more! Looking forward to the others in the series with baited breath!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flirting With The Devil by Kym Roberts is a fast paced, suspenseful, second chance romance.
For people with completely different backgrounds, when Sam and Wade met everything just clicked into place for both of them. When Sam's trust issues extend into their marriage, maybe they won't have their happily ever after after all... Separated, with every intention of divorcing Wade, Samantha heads off for some rest and relaxation in a castle owned by the two people who mean more to her than almost anyone. Trouble and men follow her though...can either of them keep her safe from danger? Can Sam keep her heart safe from Wade? Does she really want to?
Samantha is a complex woman. She suffered a lot in her growing up years, and it's affected how she lives her life today. While I can understand this and feel for her, her lack of communication with Wade when she left their marriage was a little annoying. Wade didn't know why she left or what went wrong, but he waited too long for her to come back...and she didn't. Watching these two come together again was very endearing, and gave me a lot of hope for them. When the barriers come down and everything is out in the open there is a glimmer of hope for them as a couple. I grew to really like both of them in the span of this novella as I learned more about their relationship and outside impacts on it.
I liked the suspense and all the unknowns that Kym has running through Flirting With The Devil. She really kept me guessing, and kept me surprised. I was totally unsuspecting! I liked how she wove the romance in with the suspense, making them both real to the plot.
There are great secondary characters in Flirting With the Devil. Alana and Liam, who own Castle Alainn are a constant throughout the Noble Pass Affaire series, and I enjoy seeing them in this setting with such different plots. Ty's character was a little confusing for me, and I would have liked to understand more about him and certain events in Flirting With the Devil.
The books in the Noble Pass Affaire series are all completely stand alones, and all are very enjoyable.
I'd recommend Flirting With the Devil to any romance reader looking for a quick, well written novella.

I really enjoyed this book. The action was great and had me turning the page. Sam went with her heart. But I fell in love with Ty what a guy!! This is my first book written my Kym Roberts. I love her style of writting. I'm looking forward to reading more of her work. Well done Kym! I highly recommend this book!
August 23, 2015
I really enjoyed reading Flirting with the Devil. It had the perfect mix of action and romance. I fell in love with all 3 characters right from the beginning. Mrs. Roberts did a great job expressing their emotions to the reader. I could feel the hurt, anger, and love that each of them felt and struggled with throughout the story. It was also a refreshing change from the normal 2 people meet, they fall in love, and live happily ever after. It was nice to watch as a husband and wife, who are still in love, but struggling through pride and trust issues, try to find their way back "home" to one another. "Our time may be short but our love will last forever"...Wow...that was the perfect.
A lot of times, it is pretty easy to figure the "who done it" out halfway through a story, but this one took me by surprise. I loved the ending. *SPOILER* While Sammie and Wade's story was perfect and full of love and adventure, I can't wait to read Ty's "happily-f@~#ing-ever-after". She left me wanting more.

I was gifted a copy of this book for review.
This story is full of action and suspense. It has enough heat to melt a snow bank.
Samantha is trying to find herself she has the job she wants however it has a new set of dangers. As for her live life well that she is trying to put into perspective.
Wade has been grieving for the last several months. However when the danger Sam is in escalates he can't stay away the problem is that he may have sent her into the arms of another man.
I love this story but I am being a bit vague in my review due to the fact that I do not want to give to much away. This is a story that should definitely be read. It is a rather quick read but also conveys a lot within its pages.

August 24, 2015This is a wonderful novela by Kym Roberts. It has love, heartbreak, mystery, suspense, and witty writing all rolled into one little book. For a novella Kym really gets you involved with the characters. Great story, a Must Read!
September 15, 2015
This is my first read by Kym Roberts, and I can say that I am a fan. This story may be one of the quickest connections that I have established with a character. It could be that I have a similar occupation to our lead female, Samantha. But it wasn't just that, Kym did a great job putting you into Samantha's shoes so you really felt the breaking apart of her marriage and all the stress she was under. Samantha is a tortured heroine, some terrible things happened in her childhood. Because this is a novella, you don't get a complete backstory, but you get enough to get your imagination going. Overall I liked Samantha and the way she was portrayed.
Our leading male is Samantha's husband, Wade. I liked Wade. I think he was a good guy and a good match for Samantha. The story of how they met was one of those movie meet-cute situations... and wouldn't every girl like to trip and fall right into the arms of her future husband?!? I was rooting for the couple to work out their differences and save their marriage.
Unfortunately for me, Wade was overshadowed by Ty. I want Ty for myself! I just love a broken broody male that can kick butt. I want to get my hands on him and fix him right up. So Ms. Roberts - please give Ty a book for himself!
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 4 stars / 3 flames.

Really amazing
Sam and Wade are a great couple. They have chemistry and adversity to over come. The thriller for me was what happened to Ty?. Get ready because he has his own book. OK review us over I'm looking for the next book. Thanks Kym!

I really enjoy Kym's writing style. Here she takes us to the snows of Colorado and gives us two heroes. I found myself rooting for Ty and I hope he gets his own story soon.

this was the one I liked the least, didn´t like Sam, like really kissing her husbands friend when she wasn´t even divorced, liked Wade way better.
