I’ve always been in love with my dad's best friend
Every inch of my body comes alive with desire when I’m with Dante.

At 46, he’s an absolute silver-fox.

A hunk of delicious gorgeousness.

Too bad he’s off limits to me.

He’s my father’s best friend, and I know I shouldn’t cross that line.



Flirting with him is a bad idea.

Falling for him is even worse.



Yet… resisting temptation is the last thing on my mind when I run into him at The Dark Odyssey and he tells me he wants me.

The Dark Odyssey is the perfect breeding ground for taboo dark sexy fantasies.

Perfect for us to have our secret fling.



My father would kill us if he finds out what we’ve been up to.

Our secret, however, becomes the least of my worries when Dante’s ex-fiancé walks back into his life.

And, I find out I’m pregnant...

Tempt is a standalone DARK Billionaire Romance in the Dark Odyssey Club Fantasies series. If you love a drool-worthy, sexy Alpha you will love this.
CAUTION: Be prepared for one wild, steamy ride. Read at your own risk.

Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Rachel has been in love with Dante her fathers best friend. Rachel ends up going to The Dark Odyssey Club the club where sexual fantasies can be played out. Dante has been in love with Rachel since she was young. Dante went to his mafia friend of a long time he owns The Dark Odyssey Club. The book was hot and steamy, lust, passion, heartache and frustration.

I thought that this book was absolutely delicious! The only negative I can think to say about it is that I would have loved it to be a longer length read but even as is it was an amazing read. I loved Dante and Rachel. Their forbidden, age gap, father's best friend romance was filled with boatloads of scorching heat, sizzling chemistry, intense emotions, tension, drama, turmoil and swoon. Can't wait for book three! I am choosing to post a sincere review.

It was an amazing, spicy, short read. This book took me about 3 full hours to read on and off because of Tik Tok but was really worth it. It was your same old forbidden taboo romance including the dad's best friend, grumpy x sunshine trope (just a little), and a little bit of dark spice at the Dark Odyssey. Dante and Rachel both have liked each other since Rachel was 16 and Dante was 36, but once she turned 18, that's when his dark fantasy occurred and took over his heart, mind, body, and soul. She already made her heart, mind, body, and soul pledged to him and was head over heels for him. I loved how sweet he was with her and how gentle and considerate he was like he didn't think with his dick and followed his heart which proved him right in the end when Rachel found out she was pregnant and thought he would be mad but he actually was happy, excited with tears of joy. You can clearly see how much Rachel affects Dante in this book like one look at her and he's already painfully hard for her, and he shows restraint or they would have done the deed with everyone, but that's only reserved for the Dark Odyssey when their dark spice begins and end there. They do their most appealing shit in a private room at the club and what they do there stays there and at his apartment and never leaves unless it's his office. They were both deeply in love even before anything took place which was kind of cool to see as the tension was so thick someone had to do something to cut through it. Like when other guys were checking her out he was like you want to die? and when they said no he was like ok good, I wouldn't come to your funeral BAHAHAHAHA. Rate it solid 4/5 just because it ended way too quickly and I wanted to read them getting married and having their child but I guess I have others to read. Can't wait, definitely going to reread it if I have time.

This is the 2nd story in the Dark Odyssey Club and we get to read about Rachel’s crush on Dante, her fathers best friend and how these two figure out what’s good for them! Dante is one sexy older man who knows what he wants and is friends with the guys who own the Dark Odyssey. He may not be mafia but he grew up with it. When Rachel’s father sees that Dante has feelings for his daughter he gives him a different job in the company and it involves traveling to keep him separated from Rachel as he knows about his dominant was in the bedroom. One night Rachel goes to the Dark Odyssey to forget about Dante and he happens to be there discussing a new job and he sees Rachel. Dante needs to decide if he’s going to claim Rachel or let her be with another man a follow his best friends wishes and leave a Rachel alone. I am so glad Dante takes Rachel and gives in to the one woman he truly wants and they experience being together. Rachel seems to be stuck in her father’s company and he never sees what Rachel is really worth and that when she explains what really happened with a potential client he takes the other guys side. When Dante sees what’s going on he is there to stand up for her and make sure it stops. These two have a secret relationship and both know it’s for real so Trying to figure out how to make it real is their journey to finding the one and LOVE!

“Welcome to my dark side. Does it scare you… Rachel?”

Have mercy! "Tempt," is a steamy short by Faith Summers, and is book two of the Dark Odyssey Club Fantasies book, series. I read this story as a standalone, and thoroughly enjoyed it. While there is a familiar theme here, with our heroine, Rachel, being "forever in love," with her father's best friend, Dante, Summers cranks it up a notch, with the addition of elements of BDSM. As if this silver-fox needed to be any sexier! We see that Rachel's dad, Peter, actually warns Dante to stay away from his daughter, and Dante does his best to abide by his friend's wishes. When Rachel visits Dark Odyssey Club, in an attempt to take her mind off of Dante, it is then that Dante must decide to claim Rachel or watch another man walk away with the only woman that Dante wants. Is it getting HOT in here? With "Tempt," you can expect some drama and angst, family tension, manipulation, intrigue, and breath-catching, steaminess. There are a number of obstacles between Rachel and Dante's HEA, but you will enjoy every step of their journey! I received this book as an ARC from the author, and I volunteered this review.

Incredibly hot read! This is book 2 of the dark Odysee Club fantasies series. It can be read as a stand-alone, but there is value in reading the first book Entice, because Rachel, our main girl is widely featured in the story. Rachel has been in love with Dante, her father's best friend forever. She has been trying to move on but can't. Dante is aware of the attraction but does not want to risk his friendship with Peter, Rachel's dad. When Rachel goes to the club to try and meet someone to help her forget, she is surprised to see Dante. Passion, secrets, fantasies, lust and love! It is a steamy read.

Dark and decadently sensual
Tempt: A Dark Billionaire Romance (Dark Odyssey Fantasies Club Book 2) by Faith Summers is a very well written book. This author immerses us again into the dark and decadent world of Dark Odyssey where fantasies can become reality. For Dante and Rachel, both have been harboring fantasies for many years and finally these two simply combust. Throughout this book the reader is taken on a sweet, honest and decadently sensual ride while the plot teases to the end.
Overall, this interesting story of wonderful characters, Dante and Rachel, is very well written with plenty of steam and emotional connection that brings it all together is a really fantastic way to ultimately the best HEA.

Dante and Rachel. Dante has known Rachel since she was born. She has grown into a beautiful woman, confident, intelligent and 20 years younger that Dante. Dante is the Silver Fox that Rachel has fallen hard for. He's strong, dominate, and sexy in the bedroom. They give into each other at the Dark Odyssey Club and their relationship just gets stronger. Problem is that they both work for Rachel's father who is also Dante's best friend. There is plenty of drama and conflict and if Dante wants Rachel he's going to have to find the guts to go after what he wants and who he loves no matter what her father or others think. Awesome Story. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Tempt was my first read by Faith Summers and I now have a new author to follow. Rachel has been in love with Dante, her dad's best friend since she was a young girl. Dante used to spend time with her when she was younger but lately he seems to go out of his way to avoid her. Rachel has no idea of the feelings Dante has been harboring for her since she was sixteen years old. Looking for on escape, Dante goes to the Dark Odyssey Club and is stunned when he sees Rachel looking for her own escape. Be prepared this story does have elements of light BDSM. For me, this only enhanced the story. If you enjoy hot, steamy forbidden love you will love this series. Cannot wait to read more! Addicted!

Ok I’m not too much of a fan of older men, younger women scenarios because it’s been done so many times. Also the characters always seem to be more immature than both their ages combined. This one however, knocked it outside the ball park. Dante and Rachel made me believe that with the right words, characters and plot, it can be a romance story that’s believable. The sex didn’t seem sleazy or overdone and there was little to no acting out and emotional whiplash. Dante’s words and action spoke to and of the way he felt for Rachel despite being warned away by her father, whose also his best friend. I was glad that the Dark Odyssey was featured along with certain key players from other novels.

Dante and Rachel are such a good couple. A sort of older man younger woman story. Rachel has been in love with her father's friend Dante for a very long time but Dante could not reciprocate her feelings. He sees her at Dark Odyssey Club and immediately things begin to change. Excellent characterisation and I thought the characters really got to me. I loved Dante and how he had to restrain himself but when they got together it was a no holes barred situation. Adding into the mix a sleazy employee who her father wants her to get together with makes this a very satisfactory and sexy read.

She has always been there but he finally sees her in a whole new shade of BDSM

Tempt is the second book in the Dark Odyssey Club Fantasies and all I can say is WOW!!! This is the story of forbidden love between an older man/younger woman but add in the taboo of father's best friend/best friend's daughter and you have the makings of a great story. Then the author layered in The Dark Odyssey Club where they can really get down to satisfying their cravings for each other in so many ways and you have a winner of a story. Now the only issue will be dealing with her father..........I wonder how he is going to react to finding out that he is going to be a granddaddy also???

I honestly don't even know how to review this. It is so cheesy!

It's like when you go to Olive Garden and they ask you to say when for the parmesan cheese, and you get distracted and they just keep on going with it until it's more cheese than food.

But then when you finally take a bite of your food none of that cheese can cover up the fact that it's some fake-ass American knock off of Italian.

That is what this book reminds me of. A bunch of cheesy lines and scenarios trying to cover up the fact it's a poor excuse of a dad's best friend romance. 🎤 💥

Tempt is a beautiful love story of forbidden love.
Dante has known Rachel since she was a baby. He hid his feelings for her when she became a woman. Her father was his friend and his boss. Dante has a secret as to why he and Marie broke off their engagement.
Rachel fell in love with Dante as she was growing up. Her feelings for him never changed.
Thank you Booksprout and the author for a complimentary copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Rachel has fallen for her dad’s best friend. Little does she know that Dante has feeling for him as well. They end up seeing each other at Dark Odyssey Fantasy night and Dante realizes he want her for his own and can’t imagine seeing her with another. What will happen when her father learns the truth? Fast-paced read with loads of twists and turns, drama and steam. Great characters with intense chemistry and an entertaining story. I liked it.

Steamy! Really enjoyable
It’s the first book from Faith that I read, and I could’t begin with something better!
I love the characters: Rachel - a beatiful and smart young woman in love of best friend of her overprotective father. And Dante, a sexy and smart man, 20 years older, in love of his Princesa.
And the plot - with some suspance and a lor of steam!

Faith Summers has given her readers another amazing story! Rachel and Dante are character that engage the readers throughout their storyline. From beginning to end, the twists and turns of the story beg for the reader to turn the pages as fast as they can in order to find out if it is love for the two main characters and what direction their story will take. I highly recommend reading this!!

Hot and good book. Rachel and Dante are just so good togerher and dark odyssey is their play ground.Dante tries to stay away from Rachel cause its his best friend daughter but its hard when they work together especially on a project. Her dad knows Dante obsession and forbids it so Dante tries but Rachel is to tempting. They have come to conclusions and only play at dark odessey. This is a daddy dom book and it is a good book.

Dante and Rachel heats up the pages in this scorcher. Dante is a silver devil that will take your breath away as he has with Rachel. They both work for her father and Dante who is also a good friend of her father's has been warned to stay away from Rachel. Their unbridled passion can no longer be denied and the two must decide will they take matters into their own hands or live by the rules of her father?

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This was the first book I read by Faith. After reading Tempt, I went and looked up her other stories and grabbed some of them. Dante held her when she was just a baby, and he may have always loved her. She has wanted him and to be his for as long as she can remember. He is her father's best friend and her coworker. It takes seeing her in a sex club for him to decide that he just might have to give in to his desire. These two have to figure out if there will be a lot of hiding or will they just come clean with everyone. I really enjoyed and highly recommend this book.

Dante & Rachel

Dante is Rachel's dads best friend, he was there when she was born. As Rachel got older she falls in love with Dante but they don't get together until she is 28. They spend their nights at the club and his house for months until the secret is out. Dante loves Rachel also. Great story - recommended reading.
