I’m a predator with passion.

A monster on the field.
Nobody can tame me.
I’m unstoppable.


But when I laid eyes on Krys, I knew I wanted her.
One dance with her and I was hooked.
I couldn’t resist her. And she couldn’t resist me.

Her hips, soft curves, delicious lips sparked a fire in me.
She just unleashed the beast in me.
I don’t take no for an answer.
I’m going to ravage her and make her mine.


My passion for her is a flame that only she can put out.

She’s my passion. And I’m not letting her go!

I'm not surprised that this story was good. I was looking forward to reading this after the previous one set us up for their story. It sucked that Jordan tried to be a jerk. Thankfully he came to his senses in the end. Krys and Dex deserved to happy.

I liked this book. I thought that the dynamic between Krys, Jordan, & Kylie was strange at first I came to learn and the story progressed good for me. Amy is a little spitfire that knows what she likes and sees everything. I am glad that Krys, Jordan and Dex were able to work out their differences and find a happy medium for all. Good book.

This book is aptly named as the writer has expelled so much passion in this book. I immediately cared for the characters and I have been enjoying the series immensely. One of the best writers of our time.

I'm so happy that Krys got her own story! Krys is a single mom now living close to her ex-husband and finding some free time. She's not looking for anything serious and Dex seems like a great guy to have fun with. I really have enjoyed this series and loved the interplay between Krys and Dex.

Gorgeous read!

I loved this sweet, heartfelt, beautiful story.
The characters were great and the story unique.

It was a quick read and as much as I wanted it longer, it made its point.

Beautifully done ✅

Life can be so complicated. Especially when exes are involved. It gets downright chaotic when your ex-husband works with the guy you’re interested in. But when your ex accepts all the gossip about your new love interest being a player as pure fact? Well… no socially acceptable words come to mind.

Krys has been more than a devoted mother. She absolutely put her personal life on hold to be the best mother she could be before her daughter was even born. She’s also done it virtually alone since her daughter was conceived in a test tube with her best friend as donor. Sure, the father’s been there for her in the ways that he could. Jordan even married Krys when their daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia and she had no insurance. There’s all sorts of love and caring between Jordan and Krys, but it’s been a platonic, complicated, bizarre arrangement; and it’s never been “friends with benefits” despite the fact that they parented a beautiful child together.

Dex, a hard-bodied, smooth-talking Adonis, is relatively new to Jordan’s soccer team. His reputation as the love ‘em and leave ‘em type is well known. But Jordan, of all people, should know not to believe the reputations the tabloids create with their gossip about professional players—after all, they said the same thing about him not that long ago. But now Dex is interested in Krys, and Jordan seems to have forgotten recent history. The gloves are off, and it ain’t pretty. Who knew Jordan, who seemed so level headed and calm previously could go so… Neanderthal?

Dex and Krys flame hot, fast, and bright like a match struck in total darkness. Yet their intense chemistry doesn’t keep them from using good judgment when it comes to the bedlam of one very ticked off Jordan. They both showed an amazing amount of restraint, intelligence and balance as events unfolded, and they never forgot that the life of a beautiful 8 year old girl was being impacted by their decisions. I sure wish more divorced parents could act this way instead of acting like children themselves.

The mad-chemistry love scenes as well as some adult language and situations make this a novella that can be shared with your co-workers. While this is the third book in a series with recurring characters, it can easily be read as a stand-alone work. It’s an enjoyable story of family love, communication, cooperation, and remembering that actions are a better judge of character than gossip.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the third book in this series and tells the story of Krys and Dex. Krys is the step sister of Jordan, the soccer player from Addiction. Krys and her daughter Amelia have recently moved to the US and Krys is feeling a little lonely after not dating for the last nine years. Krys sees Jordan finding love and she feels like she would like to meet someone. When Krys meets Dex at a soccer match, Jordan warns her away from his teammate. Dex sees Krys at Jordan's engagement party and they dance. When Krys allows herself to be attracted to Dex, she invited him home with her. They have a great night and Dex tells Krys he wants to see her again. Krys is told Dex is a playboy, but she doesn't see it and he treats her very well. When Krys tells Jordan she is seeing Dex, he doesn't handle the news well and it causes friction for everyone. I like this series and i really liked this book. I liked how Dex was determined to prove himself as a good guy, even though he had a reputation of a playboy. I think he really loved Krys and he wanted to be with her, and only her. I like how Dex tried to be good to Amelia also. Good one.

Kris and Dexter’s story

We met Krys Dennison from the second book of the series, Addiction. Krys is a bit awkward when it comes to men, and her bad choices only lead to a life of loneliness. She asks Jordan, her stepbrother to help her have a child by becoming a donor.

This is the part that so unconventional but understandable. Step-siblings don’t often marry and don’t have a child together. When Amy is diagnosed with leukemia, Jordan protects his child by marrying Krys, ensuring they get to the States and out of Australia so Amy can get medical assistance. Though Krys is a loving parent and nurturing mother, she oftentimes faces loneliness not having a partner.

Krys meets Jordan’s teammate, Dexter Collins, at a charity ball. They have incredible chemistry and are a perfect match, but Jordan thinks he is a womanizer. Dex is genuine about his feelings for Krys. Has Krys found Mr. Right? Can she finally have a life filled with love and family? I received and voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

“Passion” is the third book in the Tempting Alpha series and I have enjoyed reading them all. Although this a standalone, many of the characters are introduced in the first two books. It is beneficial but not necessary to read the first two stories. “Passion” is a bit shorter than the previous books but just as captivating. This time the story involves Krys Jordan's ex and the mother of his child. She has moved to the US so that her daughter Amelia will be closer to Jordan. She meets Dex a member of the soccer team. Dex is known to be a player and Jordan doesn't approve of Amelia dating him. Has Dex changed his ways? Will Jordan ever accept Dex as Krys's fiance and Amelia's possible step-father? Will Krys have to give Dex up to keep peace in the family? The intriguing plot and complex characters make “Passion” a must read.

Krys is a devoted single mom and has done everything to make sure her daughter has been taken cared of. Dex is a professional soccer player with a reputation of never wanting to settle down. They meet at a scrimmage and sparks fly between them. Dex convinces her to go out with him one night and she enjoys the time she spends with him. However her ex and father to her daughter doesn't want Dex anywhere near Krys or Amelia. When things get heated will Krys have to choose between her daughter and the man she's falling for because of her ex?


This is a great story once I started it I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between Dex and Krys sizzles with every turn of the page. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Palpable passion and unexpected love

Passion by Romi Hart is another well written book in this bad boy sports romance series. Krys, a single mom with a unique history with her daughter's father is introduced to Dex. Dex is a charming, smooth talking bad boy. Their attraction and passion heats up to incendiary levels very quickly, but there's emotional depth there for both of them.
I enjoyed this story a lot. Amy is adorable and precocious. Krys is smart and strong, yet vulnerable and wary without allowing fear to chooseo for her. But I loved how she puts the father of her child in his place when she needs to! And Dex is super sexy with a really big heart. A true gentleman except in the bedroom.
Overall a well written short story with plenty of heat and heart.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Krys Dennison and Dexter "Dex" Collins. Krys is a single mother and has been happily that way for years now. Dex takes one look at Krys and knows he wants to get to know her better. However as a single mother and the sister of one of his teammates he knows he has to be careful. There is an instant attraction that neither can ignore. What happens though when the season starts? Can they find a HEA or will they find that it just wasn't enough?


This is an amazing story. It has its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will tell you this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

ROMI ROCKS IT!!!
OMG! Ok, I was a goner from the first page. I couldn't put this little treasure down. I love Romi's style and the way she spins her tales. She creates a world around us until everything else ceases to exist. Romi wields words as skillfully and precise as a surgeon with his scalpel. All the twists and turns and drama along with a few bumps in the road takes us on one amazing adventures. As the suspense and tension builds we find ourselves on the edge of our seats. The characters and scenes are realistic and descriptive it really pulls this magnificent page turning tale together brilliantly. Romi did an extraordinary job bringing this read to life flawlessly. Fantastic job Romi, thanks for sharing this amazing treasure with us.

Passion by Romi Hart is an entertaining book that surprised me. I expected a book solely about sexual chemistry but it was so much more than that. It is a short read that spotlights the difficulties often encountered when new relationships are introduced into family dynamics. Although Krys and Jordan share a daughter, Jordan is engaged to be married to Kylie. However, when Krys begins dating Dex, the balance of emotional stability is altered and jealousy and uncertainty surface. In this novella, Romi Hart makes you feel all the emotions that the characters display. That is the mark of a true writer and she delivers in spades. This is a steamy romance but does not cross into graphic sex. It delivers the HEA, and is a book I will enjoy reading again in the future.

I’m totally loving Romi Hart’s Out of Bounds series. The stories have just been the “fix” needed to satisfy my craving for bad boy sports romances. Passion, book 3 in the series, is a perfect example of why this is so. Not only Do single mom Krys and pot soccer player Dex have a smoking hot - and yes, passion filled - attraction to each other but their story with its trials and travails, and ultimate HEA, is a totally fun one. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises - the book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.

I voluntarily read this arc to give an honest review ****A great read! Dex another team member of Marcus and Jordan has been making eyes at Krys, Jordan’s stepsister and mother to his daughter Amy. After meeting her at a game he has insisted she save a dance for him at Marcus and Ressa’s engagement party! Of course Jordan does not like Dex saying he doesn’t trust him! Eventually, Krys has to put him in his place and he threatens to take full custody of Amy. With that threat she feels she has to choose between Amy and Dex and tells him that have not see each other for a while. He is devastated! And so is Amy!

A really good romance with lots of heat. ❤️️😍🔥❤️️

I am really enjoying this series! 💜 This book is the third in the Tempting Alphas series and although they all overlap a bit, it would be easy to read them as a stand alone. In this one, Kyrs has been celibate since she decided to have a child on her own, nine years ago. She's always just thought there was something wrong with her since she has the absolute worst luck with men. That is until she meets Dex. The heat between these two is overwhelming for both of them and Dex finally convinces her to give in for the evening. 💞💗💞

There is no doubting the passion here.

Krys, a single mom, met Dex, a professional soccer player, at a Sounders scrimmage game. As the story progresses sparks fly on more than one front, feelings are hurt, and relationships strained. However, Romi Hart found a way to make everything right in the world that leaves the reader on the edge o their seat for the entire ride. There is no doubting the passion shared between Dex and Krys in this book. Much like previous books in the series, Passion is a lovely walk in a realistic dream. I can't wait to see what Ms. Hart does next.

I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

In this story we finally get to see Krys get her happy ending. She had to deal with so much that it was as if God or the universe had other plans for her. She had a daughter who was fighting for so much that she never thought her life would turn out for the better but then she meets Dex. He's a man that fit her perfectly and things they heated between them fast. But that didn't make Jordan feel good. Amy's dad, so they tried to make it all right in the end. By the time we reach the end of this wonderful story they have gotten married and another little surprise awaits them. This is a must read. I give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader's Copy.

An amazing enjoyable short story of love, family, communication, cooperation, hot chemistry, passion, and remembering that actions are a better than words. The chemistry between Dex and Krys is hot and happens fast. Shes been lonely for the past years and seeing Jordan so happy and in Love leaves her wanting. When she meets Dex at the engagement party they dance and the passion and heat begins. Jordan is against it and Dex needs to prove this is real and his playboy days are begind him. I loved the recurring characters even though this can be read as a standalone. I voluntarily reviewed this standalone ARC. A must read.

Another fabulous book in the series. Love how the book follows on from where Addiction ends. This book is full of hot sex, chemistry, passion, raw emotion, family drama and love.

I love how this book takes things to a different level and brings another aspect of drama in the form of emotional family drama into the book. Krys finds love but Jordan isn't to happy about it. The problems it causes and how one little girls perception can alter so many things.

Another amazing read. I can't wait to read more xx

Another goal scoring masterpiece, the Tempting Alpha series only gets better with each book. Dex and Krys may just be my favourite couple. His southern charm and her protective momma bear personality make for a great romance. I was pleasantly surprised with how the relationship between Dex and little Amy came about and it was heart warming to see how they all navigate through hard times. This is a must have series that will get your temperature up. I received a free copy of this book via Bookfunnel and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Hot yet realistic soccer romance. Krys is best friends with her ex Jordan. Jordan is also the biological father of Krys's little girl and he doesn't believe Dex is good enough to be near either of 'his' girls. Jordan and Krys were always platonic. Amy was conceived via test tube. Unfortunately, Dex has a reputation even though he's relatively new to the team so conflict occurs. My only wish is that this story was longer. I received a complementary copy of this book and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by Ms. Hart.

This is the 3rd book in this awesome series, and is Krys and Dex’s story. Krys is a single mom to her daughter, and has moved closer to her ex Jordan for her daughter’s sake. Dex is a professional soccer player, and a teammate of Jordan’s. Dex is the typical playboy and womanizer, and when he meets Krys the sparks fly. No spoilers; this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed! This is another well written flawless story from this talented author, and I cannot wait to read more of her work, which I highly recommend for all readers!

Will it work out for Krys and Dex? Will Jordan finally except Dex is in Krys and Amelia’s life? I guess you’ll have to read it to find out! You’ll love it to!

I liked this book best of the three. However, the men have disappointing moments-- I get to some extent Jordan's behaviour, but he comes across as an irrational jerk. And why can't Dex understand why Krys might have issues with him walking around in a towel in front of her daughter and the the people dropping her off?? Otherwise, good story.

This is book 3 in the series and it features Dex and Krys. To start with, her situation with Jordan is a little strange to say the least. Dex is a good man and he’s good for Krys. I absolutely HATED Jordan’s reaction and behavior towards her. It was appalling! Krys’ reasoning was on point!

This story has great flow and fabulous characters. Steam was pouring off my E reader with all the heat these two were throwing off. I can’t wait for the next book from this very talented author.
