Years ago when we were together, it didn’t work out.

He had his secrets. I had mine.

His destroyed us.

No one hurt me the way he did when we ended.

Thirty days to fall for him again.

Thirty fantasies at The Dark Odyssey.

The club that’s as wild and taboo as we once were.

If I agree, he’ll give me sole ownership of the building of my dreams.

He’s hot like sin and irresistible.
He’s the sexiest man I’ve ever met in my life.

Perfect in every way, with a thirst for me.

My body craves him the way it used to.

The tease of the fantasy and temptation lure me to accept his offer.

I just hope he won’t break me the way he did last time.

Falling for this man again could be one mistake I can’t fix...

4.5 Hot n Very Sexy Stars

Loved this couple, this series gets hotter and hotter. The only thing I agree on with another reviewer...the break up reason was so lame and really made no sense once revealed but hey.....it's all good!

I enjoyed this forbidden romance. There is plenty of emotion, tension heartache and angst in Jia and Paul's story. I really felt for these two. Love was never an issue for them but secret certainly were. Add in lots of sizzling heat and scorching chemistry and you have yourself a really good book. This is my candid, volitional review.

Paul broke Jia’s heart years ago and now her ex-stepbrother is back and he wants another chance. He wants 30 days for her to fall for him again and in return she will be the sole owner of a building they both shares. Will the secrets between them destroy their relationship again? Fast-paced read with lots of emotion, drama and steam. The chemistry is intense and the story entertaining. I liked it.

ONE ELECTRIFYING THRILL!!!
Dark decadence! Faith cranked my tractor, dialed my number and blew my mind with this decadently delicious, dark and delectable treat, hotter than a erupting volcano and more explosive than C-4, blasting this baby to life spectacularly. Dynamics and countenance in layer upon layer that you peel back with each page your drawn into this web so deep until everything else ceases to exist. Twixt, twined and tightly woven, showcasing the rocketing ups and agonizing downs, grounding in it's simplicity and awe-inspiring in it's depth, drawing our characters closer than they could have ever anticipated. Lines blur and boundaries crossed, limitations are stretched and manipulated, kicking this baby into overdrive, slamming it into a tailspin with astonishing results, putting our characters through their paces. The raw magnetism, undeniable attraction and sizzling chemistry collides with such intensity, drawing you deeper until you feel the electrifying hum running rampant through your veins. The characters are authentic and original with qualities and traits that blend into amazing personalities. The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and descriptions creating a colorful backdrop that makes the storyline pop. Remarkable job Faith, thanks for sharing this little treasure with us.

Second chances at a forbidden love......what are they willing to gamble for it?

Tease is the third book in the Dark Odyssey Club Fantasies series and is a hotter than Hades second chance with a majorly dark and sexy twist romance. The story is about Jia and Paul who are step siblings but that did not stop them from having a very hot relationship six years ago. But Paul broke up with Jia and did not tell her the real reason. Now six years later they are forced together by her father, his stepfather, by a set of circumstances. Is it a chance for closure as Jia believes. Or is it a second chance that Paul believes it is. After all he knows he was wrong and wants to win her back, proving he will not leave her for anything. But will she ever be able to trust him again with her heart? Jia and Paul are really soulmates and complete each other. He is going to do and try anything to earn her heart again.

This is a nicely written book with an interesting and somewhat intense story-line. The characters are well developed and very likeable. This was an enjoyable story with a lot of chemistry that finally explodes into a great HEA.

I received a copy of this book for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

When Paul broke up with Jia six years ago, he kept secret the reason why. He told her one thing, but it was another. Jia was reeling from the effects of a secret of her own that she hadn’t had the chance to share with Paul. It compounded the hurt and broken trust she had from their parting.

Paul worked for his ex-stepfather, Jia’s dad. So did Jia. Her dad inadvertently forced them to deal with their past by having them share a building they both wanted. Once they were forced together, it wasn’t long before their passions had them spending long nights at the Dark Odyssey.

The things that drive Paul to break up with Jia all those years ago hadn’t changed. The question was if he had changed enough to trust her with his secret. Or if she could trust him not to leave her again.

I liked the book. I have read all the Dark Odyssey books and feel like I know my way around the club. It is always my guilty pleasure to follow the characters and surrounding debauchery. TEASE does not disappoint in this regard. The club does play a bigger role in this couples’ past and present.

HOLY HOTNESS... I LOVE THIS IMPECCABLE SERIES.

This is the 3rd installment to The Dark Odyssey Club Fantasies Series and it is just as addictive as the two previous.

Jia and Paul are about to turn the heat all the way up and I am completely positive that you will have yourself glued to your Kindle the entire time. I am talking about your hands sweating, legs falling asleep because you haven't even gotten up for a drink to cool yourself off. Yes, it is absolutely THAT addictive.

I try very hard never to give away the storyline, so that I do not ruin it for other readers. In this instance, you are just going to have to trust me, that you NEED to read this book.

I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader's copy of Tease in exchange for my honest and voluntarily given opinion. What I can assure you is that...

1. You are going to love it.
2. I just downloaded Play, the next installment and will be busy devouring that one right now.

My Good Lord, Ms. Summers is beyond gifted. Whew!

Seductive second chance
Tease: A Billionaire Romance (Dark Odyssey Fantasies Club Book 3) by Faith Summers is a wonderfully well written romance with a little bit of dark embedded in the explosive steam of this second chance romance.
Jia and Paul have a deeply emotional and long lasting connection that Paul knows he single-handedly ruined. As he reintroduces himself into Jia’s life he realizes she’s all he ever wanted and sets out to win her back through the seduction of Jia’s heart, mind and body. I love their story, second chance romances are always an extra special kind of HEA, and Jia and Paul’s story is no exception. I fell for Paul as he does not worm his way around accepting the pain he caused, but seeks out multiple ways of making things right and earning a place back into Jia’s heart.
Overall, awesome characters with plenty of chemistry and adventure made this second chance romance a must read with a perfect HEA for Jia and Paul, together at last!
I read an ARC of this book and voluntarily share my review.

This is a dark decadent romance set in the world of the Dark Odyssey Club and like all Faiths books in this series it draws you into a world where your every fantasy can be catered to. This is a book that draws you in and never lets you go until you turn that last page

Paul and Jia where step siblings and he was the one that took her virginity when she was only 18 and then he broke her heart She has never really gotten over it and neither has he the only reason he walked away was a huge secret that he is keeping. Now they are thrown back together because they both want the same place Montrose Place and there step father has gifted it to both of them Paul offers her a deal if she will submit to him for thirty days at Dark Odyssey Club he will sign over his share. The only problem is such close proximity shows that neither is over the other This time can he let her know his secret so that they can build a life together You will have to read to see.

★ Fixing a shredded heart ★

—>>> Review Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars - Sometimes the secrets one can keep become bigger than one can handle, but they always have a way of coming out sooner or later, else they will continue to darken their owners’ lives. Learning that her ex-stepbrother Paul has been given the other half ownership of a building Jia has her eyes on to fulfill her dream of opening a day spa has her confronting her first love, the man she has no choice in avoiding if she is to pursue her goal. But now that Paul has the chance, he is not going to lose her again, and he will do anything to prove himself to her. And he only has one month to do it. This was a steamy second-chance at love for Jia and Paul, with her shredded heart to mend and trust to regain when she cautiously goes down the road to opening herself up to him again. Enjoyed my first peek into the Dark Odyssey Club series!

"I have this woman locked away in the dark, away from the world, and I don’t know why."

Faith Summers continues the Dark Odyssey Club Fantasies Books, with a steamy second chance, a taboo, and a bit of an enemies to lovers romance, with "Tease." In this third installment in Summers' series, Jia has never really gotten over the pain that her ex-stepbrother caused, when he abruptly ended their relationship. When a situation arises that forces them to deal with one another again, Paul proposes an unusual offer - give him thirty days, with thirty fantasies at The Dark Odyssey. Hmmm... what's a girl to do? (eyeroll with a half-hearted arm twist,) Okay, she'll TRY. With "Tease," you can expect some drama, angst, humorous situations, witty banter, sweltering steaminess, and romance. An engaging read. I received this book as an ARC from the author, and I volunteered this review.

This is a fast paced read that pretty much leaves you at the edge of your seat the whole time. Paul is back after 6 years in the marines and Jia couldn't be less thrilled to see her ex step- brother... he wrecked her once all be damned if she is letting him close enough to do it a second time. Well her father throws one hell of a curve ball in her plans because the property she has been wanting to turn into a spa he has now been placed in both her and Paul's names. So they have to either work together, agree on a plan for the property or one of them has to buy out the other.... Jia may want nothing to do with Paul but he certainly wants to make up for his mistakes and their forced proximity isn't helping Jia keep a cool head. What will happen with the property and whose heart will lead them where or are both hearts leading to the same place? Read along to find out.

Paul has a secret that caused him to break with Jia six years ago. He still regrets it and will do whatever he can to make her fall back in love with him.
Jia had some disturbing news she needed to share with Paul but never got to share it with him. He broke up with her and crushed her heart caring a secret that weighs heavily in her heart.
Six years later Jia and Paul have to work together deciding on what to do with a building given to them as equal ownership.
When secrets are revealed their relationship suffers.
A second chance at romance with sizzling scenes.
Thank you BookSprout and the a for a complimentary copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I enjoyed this dark story about Paul and Jia. They have a history, he's her stepbrother and they had a secret romance six years ago. But now he's back from the Marines and working with her at her dad's firm. They aren't step siblings anymore. But when he broke up with her he didn't give her the real reason. She's also hiding a secret. They agree to spend the next 30 days to get to know each other again. They're secrets might cause problems again. Great HEA.

Oh my has Faith Summers ever done it! Paul and Jia are HOT! They first meet as children and even then knew they wanted each other. As they grow so do their feelings and desires. Something happens and they're apart for six long years but those feelings never change for either of them. After all this time they find their way back to each other and to The Dark Odyssey Club. Tease is a sexy, sensual read with little surprises along the way.

Another Dark Odyssey Club book

When Paul broke up with Jia he didn’t know how devastated he left her. So when he comes back into her life she wants nothing to do with him. Unfortunately for her, her father has decided to give the building she’s been eyeing for her new spa to both of them. Seems Paul is the one that found the building for her father and he wants it also. Not only does he want the building but he wants her back too. What lengths will either of them go to get what they want?

Second chance to hapiness
This is a story of 2 people that are deeply in love with eachother.
Despite the fact that they broke up 6years ago, despite the broken hear and the lost.
Their chemistry is unbelievable, and the hotness if the sex scenes is over the roof!
They get their second chance and in the end they achieve hapiness.

Your such a Tease..Omg this book was so good you would fall in love with Paul and Jia. They were stepsiblings that had a past and he broke her heart note he is back and they are wanting different things for a building her dad gave too both of them. Paul decides he wants Jia back but she is still hurt so Paul comes up with a plan to win het back. They have not been stepsiblings in years btw. I highly recommend this book to see how paul and jia do.

So happy for Jai!

Im so glad she got her HEA! And Paul omg he just sounds like a walking wet dream. As with all the books this Author writes they are hot as sin and straight to the point with no bs drama! I think one of my fave parts is that Jai's dad just knew. His father intuition knew they were together in past and present and he would ask subtly if they were ok or if they were happy.

Just as “taboo” the second time around

Jia and Paul have combustible chemistry from the very beginning of this story, and it only gets hotter as the story goes on. Their sexual escapades are adventurous, but what really makes this book shine are the intense feelings, as well as the secrets they keep and the history they share. A truly enjoyable read.

An amazing chemistry, intriguing characters and a heartbreaking storyline. I absolutely loved this story. My emotions were engaged from the first page and I was entranced by the story as it played out. I felt how she struggled with her decision. I wish he would have talked to her rather than do what he did when she was so vulnerable. I loved how the story ended.

Good book

Tease was a good book, even though it was short. There were parts that I thought could of given us more, like how Paul’s mom reacted to the news of a relationship between them. Otherwise it was great.
