Driven to Temptation

by Ava Catori

This wasn't good. Nick wasn't the kind of guy I wanted to be trapped in a car with. Insufferable, he pushed every button I had - and not in a good way. All signs pointed to disaster.

When Nick's lips brushed against mine, it threw me for a loop. This wasn’t supposed to happen! He was everything I avoided. His bad boy attitude and reputation left me cold. Forced to admit growing feelings, I lied to myself. It was easier. If I gave in, my life would never be the same

About the author

I have a passion for storytelling. I write in a conversational tone that is often described as fun and easy. I love my characters to be easy to identify with and feel down to earth. Most of my characters have a girl-next-door feel.

This Jersey girl is happily married to a patient man who has the ability to sustain long hours of rambling thoughts spilling from me non-stop. With the company of my two dogs, I set my writing schedule around their inability to coordinate their potty breaks. :)

Fabulously sexy short story with a great balance of humor, drama and sexiness. Amanda and Brody are best friends though he’s always wanted more. When Brody finds himself in trouble, he calls his brother Nick to come and rescue him but Amanda insists on tagging along on the road trip. Of course, the one challenge is that Nick and Amanda are like oil and water, never getting along. What happens when they end up in a car together for 5 days straight? Will they realize they do have something in common, other than Brody? Amanda and Nick kept me intrigued, knowing under all that hostility there could be a powerful connection.

Review for DRIVEN TO TEMPTATION
Amanda and Brody have been friends since sixth grade, although Brody has expressed many times he wants more than just friendship. Amanda is content with the status quo because there is no chemistry there for her. When Brody calls and needs her and his brother Nick to come get him in ElPaso, something strange happens. Amanda and Nick, combatants for years, find a chemistry that is explosive. Both are shocked to discover it. Once they finally have Brody safely with them and what happened between them comes out, Nick is devastated when Amanda just pushes him away. But has she really been able to walk away from him ?

I received this Arc of Temptation, for on the promise of a honest review.
Loved the banter between Amanda and Nick. However, I think she's a stuck up wench. Got to love when characters try to fight their attraction to one another, after playing head games. It always keeps the reader on edge wanting to know happens next. But I have to say I wasn't thrilled the ending. But a cute story nonetheless.

A wonderful joy ride of a story. The interaction between Nick and Amanda during the road trip is humorous, sarcastic, sexy and downright hot at times. Amanda is a little prim and proper and Nick is a typical young partying man. Oil and water turns into oil and vinager real fast after they are forced to stay in each other's company during the trip.

I was given this e-book by the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. My conclusions are my own. I was not compensated in any way.

Amanda always thought Nick was a arrogant gods gift to woman type of guy so when her best friend and Nick's brother Brody calls and says he's in trouble the last thing she wants is to be stuck with Nick. But she will do anything for Brody so she agrees. She soon learns that Nick might not be as bad as she thought or is it just close quarters? Short fast paced fun read

Good story

I liked the story and the journey to them figuring it out but the ending seemed not as climactic. It was missing an extra something that would put a cherry on top of this story
