Temptation
Temptation comes in many forms.
Most people are able to resist or fight against it. I am not one of those people.
I used to be the good girl. That shy and forgettable girl that everyone looked over. That girl that had her whole life planned out. But one choice, one bad mistake at a party, changed my life in so many ways. Gone was my mapped out future. Gone was the perfect image of the girl I was.
Then he came.
Viktor Matvei found me. He saved me. And then he offered me one of the biggest temptations of all. The chance to become someone else. I had a chance to be stronger, confident, and most of all, the opportunity to change the course of my life. If it were just me, the decision would’ve been easy but my thoughts are blurred with an unexpected return of my past.
Viktor lives and breathes his strict rules. He is demanding and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants. I know there are things in his life that makes him be the way he is. He is a temptation that I cannot give into. If I do, I fear there will not be a shred of Ava Walker left.
Now I have a choice.
Will I continue to fight Viktor? Or will I give into his temptation?

This book had my heart on an emotional rollercoaster, not knowing how it would end!
Ava was young and in love, or so she thought. But when she comes to realize that the man she was "in love" with would not stand by her side, she had to learn to lean on those that would stand by her.
Then, like a fairytale, out of nowhere comes out a knight in shinning armor ready to help her, no questions asked. As I read I tried to figure out who this mysterious Viktor was, rbecause he popped out of the blue and ready to help Ava out.
Viktor was out to collect a debt the night he ran into Ava, but when that didn't pan out he ended up with something better... Though, the one thing he didn't count on was falling for Ava. When his secrets came out, I felt my heart break for both of them because they had been through so much already.
At times, I wanted to smack some sense into Ava because she was being hard-headed, and poor Viktor did everything in his power to show her how sorry he was for keeping secrets from her. There are questions that I had throughout the book that were thankfully answered towards the end, leaving me with a big ol’ smile. And that epilogue, I. Freaking. Loved. It!!
There was a little bit of everything, yet forgiveness and love is what stood out to me—especially the second chance at love! ~ Kara, 4.5 stars

I feel like I read other book than otherś, whoo gave it so high rating.
I really didn't like Ava. She was too whiney, always crying and boo-hoo pitty party for one anyone? Ok, Malcolm was a douchebag, but she even didn't love him. She acted really immaturaly. I don't like the whole "i-want-him-i-can't-have-him-i-am-afraid" dance and Ava was really a prima balerina in this one. Frustrating. Oh, and that whole "I-am-a-jeans-and-tshirt-kind-of-girl-i-don't-use-makeup-I-am-not-like-others" is really annoying.
What Viktor saw in her to fall for her except her tight...er...kitten... is beyond me.
Other things that frustrated me - the inconsistency of the characters. First they seem one way, then the other ( - just stick to the character!)
Viktor was kind of a flat character for me, nothing to write home bout.
There were few illogical things that bothered me - Ava knows she starts
Just - No, thank you.

This is the first book I read by Brie, and it won't be my last! It was really good. I really enjoyed story-line. It wasn't too angsty or filled with drama. I was looking for something light but still sexy and this book fit the bill just right.
Ava finds herself in a predicament and is essentially saved by the mysterious and handsome Viktor. Who by the way talks to her in Russian A LOT (which I find very hot). Since the moment they meet he becomes a steady support for Ava. However he is keeping secrets that ofcourse eventually are uncovered. There is a little surprise in this book that I loved a lot!
I don't want to spoil anything, but make sure to buy this book!!

Temptation is simply what its name implies, a sinfully seductive romance temptation. Ava was your classic girl next door until one bad drunken decision with Malcolm at a party leaves her world left in chaos. She can’t be the successful and sweet girl anymore because she’s about to be someone’s mom. You can’t help, but feel for Ava as she struggles with everything and her ability to trust shatters in an instant when Malcolm walks away. Life from that at the time great decision on becomes a series of dark and twisted turns that lands her smack dab in the crosshairs of a very sexy and tempting Russian named Viktor.
Our sinfully sexy Russian Viktor isn’t all that he seems, but for Ava he’s willing to strike a deal that will not only affect her life, but his as well. Sure, he has secrets of his own, but he has the means to help Ava even if the job he offers her is far from the normal 9-5 desk job. Even as the too good to be true deal is struck, you get this sinking suspicion there’s more to Viktor’s side of the story and his reasons behind the offer. He’s been scorned too and trust isn’t something that comes easy for him as well. Viktor is a great character and I absolutely love how alpha male bossy he is with Ava.
As the Ava and Viktor’s story unfolds, the chemistry between these characters goes from slow burn to towering inferno. Trust me, this book is a five alarm fire that only a cold shower or a session with your significant other can fix. Ava struggles with her feelings and inch by inch allows her distrustful walls to fall and shattered to the ground. Love of a good man is a powerful thing and as their story concludes you feel another emotion for Ava. The sadness is long washed away and is replaced by blissful happiness.
One little side note is how much I loved Gabbie’s parts of the story. Her nickname for Viktor will crack you up!!
Brie Paisley has upped her writing game with this books release. As a fan of hers since the beginning, you can see how much she evolves as an author with each and every book. I can’t wait for more!

This is by far the best book by Brie so far. I couldn’t put this book down!! I am 100% claiming Viktor! HE IS MINE!!! Temptation is packed full of lies, decent, broken hearts, secrets, love, lust, some hot sexy scenes, and of course a front row seat to the temptation of Viktor Matvei.
When the book starts we meet Ava. Ava is young and naive and thinks Malcolm is the love of her life. One night and a lot of alcohol leaves Ava and Malcolm with a little surprise that neither saw coming. Malcolm decides to step up and be the man Ava needs or so she thought until he one day just up and disappears. Enter VIKTOR!!!
From the first moment I meet the sexy Russian who is Viktor Matvei I was in love!!! Viktor was there to pick up the pieces when Malcolm left her high and dry. Now Ava finds herself alone with a sweet little baby. Viktor offers Ava a chance to work for him but it’s not at all what she was expecting.
Now 2 years later, Ava is almost finished working for Viktor and also taking care of her sweet daughter Gabby but she finds herself attracted to Viktor more and more everyday. Viktor promises Ava no relationship while she is working with him but now that the contract is almost up both are eager to find out just how far they can take the temptation.
I don’t do spoilers but this book is PACKED with suspense and secrets I never saw coming. Just when Ava and Viktor are settling into life as a couple a HUGE surprise comes and neither are ready for it. This is where the book takes a turn and gets a little rocky. This book is H O T!!! I fell in love with Ava and Viktor and of course GABBY!! Ahhh how can you not love that sweet little girl. I honestly can’t wait for the next book by Brie and I would be happy to see a novella of Viktor and Ava someday. Good job Ms. Paisley!

4.5 Stars!
This book was so good. Brie Paisley is a brand new author for me and definitely someone I will look for in the future. This book was brilliantly written and kept me captivated the entire time. Temptation will tease your senses and get your blood flowing.
This book was sexy, sweet, intense, passionate, and gives you one story line that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It was suspenseful with so many twists and turns you won't see coming. This book was fast-paced and quite angsty at times.
This is Ava and Viktor's story. Ava's life has taken a drastic turn she could have never seen coming. The one person she should be able to rely on turns their back and now she has to figure it out. That is until Viktor enters her life, changing it forever.
I loved these two. I laughed. I smiled. I swooned. Oh yea I went through a range of emotion while reading Temptation. This author sure put us through the ringer at times in this book, making us both love and hate her. Take a chance on Temptation.
I highly recommend this book.

I liked it, but .. I found a lot of errors in the book and the plot was lacking depth. I felt there could've been better character development as well.

“One bad choice, one mistake, has changed everything”
Ava Walker was the girl that followed the rules. She was getting good grades in school. She was a ballet dancer and was teaching ballet in a studio. She had a boyfriend, Malcolm, which was someone she didn’t think would ever go out with her. Then, the one time she decides to be “bad”, she goes to a party with Malcolm and lies to her mom and dad about where she was going…her life had changed. She drinks, gets drunk, and she allows Malcolm to take her virginity, they used protection so she thought she was okay…but was she?
Then it all goes downhill from there. She finds out she is pregnant and Malcolm decides he is going to do the right thing… or does he?
Then enters Viktor Matvei. He steps up and helps Ava and then offers her a job that is a “temptation” that you can’t refuse.
All I can really say is I want to know where I can get someone like Viktor. He is a HOT, SEXY, and Russian. When he speaks Russian to Ava, it just makes you melt. Oh, and there is SO, MUCH, MORE that will make you melt.
This story first started off as one that I would normally not read. It was starting off to be like a young adult story and everything was going to be filled with angst, but as soon as Viktor comes into the story, it all changes.
It turns into a hot and steamy erotic story that will make your undies melt. No, really…they will. LOL
This was the first story I have read of Brie Paisley, and if her earlier work was anything like this one… I will be reading them also. Love the hot and steamy stories.
It was a fun story to read and had a great storyline. There was a lot going on and it was very easy to follow along. Highly recommend it.

Oh this was a sneaky fabulous find!!!
I loved everything about it, Ava was stubborn through most of the book and I don't blame her after what she went through. Her reservations towards Viktor are what made for a great build up though, the sexual tension was a breaking point and I'm sat here clinging on the hope that its gonna freaking happen... And when it does ..oh Lordy sparks fly passions explode knickers are soaking and asses get spanked;);) yes it was so good and so naughty and I loved it probably a little to much!;)
Viktor was a perfect hero.. He was alpha all the way and he was freaking Russian!!!yummy "Moya lyubov"(..sigh) he was so patient and only had eyes for her! Even before they got together .. From the day they met he hadn't been with anyone and there is a year between them meeting and them getting it on!!!how perfect! Though he wasn't without his own secrets .. One that may just be the end of them before they even started!!
Can't recommend it enough I loved it!!

This is by far my favorite read by Brie. I absolutely loved Ava and Viktor's story. I was hooked from the very beginning and couldn't put it down until the very end still wanting more of them.
Ava was so young when a boy does her so very wrong. I wanted to kick Malcolm hard for what he did to her. Then Viktor comes into her life and changes everything. I loved this bossy man who wanted to take care of and cherish this girl who became a woman in the time after he came into her life. Now I wanted to give Ava a shake or two along the way as she resisted him. I understand that what Malcolm did broke her ability to trust, but Vik more than made up for that. I loved when she finally gave in to the love that had grown between them. They were scorching hot together and such a powerful love they shared. I loved every bit of their story.
I give Temptation 5 hearts!

Temptation is a book where you read the blurb and KNOW you HAVE to read it. Who doesn’t want to read about tempting hot Russian men and a stripper! Ava, however, was not always so risqué, she was once very good. She did the right thing, had good grades and thought she had found the perfect guy. Until the night he wasn’t so perfect and she ended up with a lot more than she bargained for. Forced to change her entire life, she thought she was doing the right thing, but in the end it left her with nothing but everything at the same time.
Viktor, has secrets but he also has a weakness, Ava. He owns a very prestigious nightclub in Nashville, TN, but he’s originally from Russia. He seems to swoop in and be her knight and shining armor, if only she really knew the details! He offers her something that seems too good to be true, but she’s willing to do anything for a better life. In the end will things work out, and can she trust herself not to feel anything for him??
I loved this book, Ava is strong and she does what she needs to do for a better future and for some semblance of security. Sure it’s not the best occupation in the world, stripping a few nights a week for money. But hey, when someone is offering you the world and you can grab it overnight it’s hard to say no. Right from the beginning you could feel the chemistry from these two characters, Viktor is drawn to Ava, and vice versa. Nothing can happen though, there is a contract that he makes all his dancers sign but I’m not sure that will stop Viktor from getting what he desires. But after all the waiting, will secrets tear them apart from having their Happy Ever After? You must read to find out, although Brie has been known to be a sucker for HEA and I love her for it! This is a standalone novel, but there could be another that I would look forward to reading about, Hint. Hint Miss Brie!

First off, I need to say this book surprised the hell out of me. When I first signed up for this the blurb grabbed me straight away. I loved the characters in this book.
we first meet Ava she’s 18 and in senior year of high school, her best friend Casey is a b****h and she’s starting to realise this. Ava decides to go to a party with her boyfriend Malcolm and she hands her v-card over on a silver platter! But with those come consequences…in the form of a pregnancy. Malcolm decides it’s all too much and gets into trouble and moves away, he keeps it from Ava and leaves her locked out and 8 months pregnant. But then comes along Viktor. Viktor helps her and is there all the way through. Ava does what she needs to do to survive, and to give her daughter Gabbi a stable and loving life and tries her hardest to keep the walls around her heart firmly in place. But bit by bit Vik breaks them down.
Okay, from the first time I met Malcolm I thought he was a total douche.. and I was right! He needed a throat punch for the way he treats Ava, and his mother, don’t even get me started. Viktor, on the other hand, I loved that man and little Gabbi was so adorable. Ava I loved her character and her spirit, she started like any other 18 year old, not sure of herself and the ways of the world, not sure who to trust, but Vik was there all the way through, she fought her feelings for him so she could provide a stable life for her daughter and to not risk her heart again.
This book had me shouting, swooning, tearing up and completely falling in love with an adorable little girl and a strong single mother and of course a gorgeous Russian named Viktor just topped off the whole package…when he speaks to her in Russian, OMG I melted! I was rooting for Viktor and Ava all the way through.
This book was written so well and it flowed beautifully, it was told from Ava’s POV but the epilogue is told from Viktor’s POV which was just amazing I loved it!
This book is a story of a strength, trust and a need to survive and all importantly, love! This book is a definite must read and needs to be added to your tbr today! I'll definitely be on the look out for more of Brie Paisley's books. She kept me interested all the way through.
5 tempting stars!

This book was written so well and it flowed beautifully, it was told from Ava’s POV but the epilogue is told from Viktor’s POV which was just amazing I loved it!
This book is a story of a strength, trust and a need to survive and all importantly, love! This book is a definite must read and needs to be added to your tbr today!
5 tempting stars!
Sarah!!
First off, I need to say this book surprised the hell out of me. When I first signed up for this the blurb grabbed me straight away. I loved the characters in this book.
When we first meet Ava she’s 18 and in senior year of high school, her best friend Casey is a b****h and she’s starting to realise this. Ava decides to go to a party with her boyfriend Malcolm and she hands her v-card over on a silver platter! But with those come consequences…in the form of a pregnancy. Malcolm decides it’s all too much and gets into trouble and moves away, he keeps it from Ava and leaves her locked out and 8 months pregnant. But then comes along Viktor. Viktor helps her and is there all the way through. Ava does what she needs to do to survive, and to give her daughter Gabbi a stable and loving life and tries her hardest to keep the walls around her heart firmly in place. But bit by bit Vik breaks them down.
Okay, from the first time I met Malcolm I thought he was a total douche.. and I was right! He needed a throat punch for the way he treats Ava, and his mother, don’t even get me started. Viktor, on the other hand, I loved that man and little Gabbi was so adorable. Ava I loved her character and her spirit, she started like any other 18 year old, not sure of herself and the ways of the world, not sure who to trust, but Vik was there all the way through, she fought her feelings for him so she could provide a stable life for her daughter and to not risk her heart again.
This book had me shouting, swooning, tearing up and completely falling in love with an adorable little girl and a strong single mother and of course a gorgeous Russian named Viktor just topped off the whole package…when he speaks to her in Russian, OMG I melted!

****4 Sexy Russian vs Good Girl Stars****
Brie Paisley is a new author to me and I really enjoyed the story of Ava and Viktor. This would have been a 4.5-5 star rating from me for the story alone, but unfortunately the lack of editing took a bit away from my enjoyment. The premise was unique in a way, a young 18 year old Ava, a good girl, gets pregnant by her boyfriend, Malcolm, and just a month before she is to give birth, he deserts her. When Ava goes into early labor after finding out Malcolm, who comes from a wealthy family with a mother who hates her, has left the country and packed up her belongings from their home, is saved by Viktor, a young handsome Russian man who sees her through the birth of her baby girl, Gabrielle. He continues to see her and Gabrielle even after the birth and quickly incorporates his tremendous love and support into their lives. Viktor offers Ava a job at his club, which is as a dancer in a strip club. Ava was a ballerina before her pregnancy so accepts this as a way to continue dancing and the money earned will ensure a future for her daughter.
This sets up the rest of the rollercoaster of a story that sees Malcolm come back home and fight for custody and Viktor and Ava finally giving in to their intense sexual chemistry and feelings for each other. The last third of the story is explosive and Ms. Paisley sets up for one heck of an epilogue! I believe that overall Brie Paisley will be a terrific writer, given the resources she needs.

“One bad choice, one mistake, has changed everything”
Ava Walker was the girl that followed the rules. She was getting good grades in school. She was a ballet dancer and was teaching ballet in a studio. She had a boyfriend, Malcolm, which was someone she didn’t think would ever go out with her. Then, the one time she decides to be “bad”, she goes to a party with Malcolm and lies to her mom and dad about where she was going…her life had changed. She drinks, gets drunk, and she allows Malcolm to take her virginity, they used protection so she thought she was okay…but was she?
Then it all goes downhill from there. She finds out she is pregnant and Malcolm decides he is going to do the right thing… or does he?
Then enters Viktor Matvei. He steps up and helps Ava and then offers her a job that is a “temptation” that you can’t refuse.
All I can really say is I want to know where I can get someone like Viktor. He is a HOT, SEXY, and Russian. When he speaks Russian to Ava, it just makes you melt. Oh, and there is SO, MUCH, MORE that will make you melt.
This story first started off as one that I would normally not read. It was starting off to be like a young adult story and everything was going to be filled with angst, but as soon as Viktor comes into the story, it all changes.
It turns into a hot and steamy erotic story that will make your undies melt. No, really…they will. LOL
This was the first story I have read of Brie Paisley, and if her earlier work was anything like this one… I will be reading them also. Love the hot and steamy stories.
It was a fun story to read and had a great storyline. There was a lot going on and it was very easy to follow along. Highly recommend it.

WOW! I LOVED this book. Brie did an amazing job writing this story of learning how to be independent and move past the hurts people cause. I loved the character in this story and the story line was great! I think that you will really love this book.
Ava finds out some life altering news and she ends up moving in with her boyfriend Malcom. Things don't work out like she expected and she ends up being alone and in need of some assistance. She meets Viktor who ends up being someone she can count on in her time of need. He becomes an important person in her life and offers her a job. The job is not what she ever thought she'd do but a girl's got to do what a girls got to do. Viktor has given her a contract with this job and she is not to have any kind of relationship with him. This turns out to be a difficult thing but she has been burned before so she sees this as great. What happens when feelings develop between Ava and Viktor? Will she be able to let him in and trust him or will she push him away? What happens when her past shows up where she least expected and turns her world into chaos?
Viktor is a man full of secrets. He doesn't let anyone in and especially not another woman. He was burned bad before and is scared to trust in someone again. He meets things amazing woman and he makes some choices that could bite him in the butt later on. Feeling for her develop and he must learn to be patient because she has some secrets as well and some major walls built around her heart. Is she worth the trouble? Will his choices keep him from having the woman he has fallen for? Will he learn to open up with Ava and let her in his life more?
There were some major twists in this story that I was not expecting and it made this book even better. I was absolutely hooked from the beginning. Don't miss out on this awesome book!

I LOVED everything about this book. It is so realistic and so many will be able to relate to many things.
Ava Walker is the good girl that had her life planned out and never did anything wrong. One mistake, and one bad choice has changed her life forever. Then Viktor Matvei finds her, alone, in labor sobbing on the sidewalk, and becomes her savior. He stays with her, helping in anyway he can. He offers her the biggest temptation of all...to become someone else, all the while making a better life for herself and her daughter. She struggles with her growing feelings for him because she's been hurt so badly in the past. He's a stickler for his rules and she does her best to hide behind them. For her though, he continues to break all of his rules to get what he wants....and he wants Ava and will stop at nothing until he does. Once Ava finally gives in to the temptation and admits to her feelings, the nightmare of her past comes storming back into her life and changes everything.
Viktor is the strong, dominant alpha male that freely uses his native Russian tongue to swoon her, even though she doesn't understand a word of it. Because, come on, who doesn't love to hear a sexy man speaking a foreign language? Gabbie is the sweetest thing and I love how she calls him "Icky". Ava is a strong young woman who grows quite a bit through this book and I love how her character struggles with her trust and love for this man who has completely saved her in every way. It seems most books these days, they meet, fall in love, forget their past struggles and just fall right into their happily ever after. I give this book 4.5 stars....give in to the Temptation and read it!

Sometimes one mistake can define your life. Ana couldn't guess how one drunken night with her boyfriend could change the course of her life. Her hopes and dreams of one day operating her own ballet school gone in the blink of an eye. Pregnant and abandoned, Ana has hit rock bottom till a mysterious man is there when she needs somebody the most.
Viktor comes in Ana's life on the most important day of her life. After helping her, Viktor offers her a job and a gives her a chance for a new life. Can Ana resist temptation and Viktor?
Viktor was almost too good to be true! Who wouldn't want a sexy Russian alpa male to help a girl pick up the pieces of her life. He patiently waits till Ana is in a good place to let her know he feels more than just as her boss. But from the first Viktor breaks all kinds of rules that he set in place for his business relationship with Ana.
The only problem I had was with Ana and maybe it's because of how young she is. But I think she held on to her anger too long. Because of that she wasted so much time keeping her feelings for Viktor from developing even more. I guess she needed that time to get her life straighten out but I think she was too hard on him at times.
But Viktor is keeping a big secret! He wasted time as well for not being honest with Ana. Overall I loved this story! The sex scenes were smoking! You can really feel the chemistry between this couple. This is my first book to read of Brie Paisley, I can't wait to read more. Maybe a book for Sebastian?

This is not my first Brie Paisley book but I think its her best to date.The storyline is emotional and full of drama, when I first started reading it I must confess I thought it sounded YA but once Viktor came into the story boy did he turn the heat up!! I loved him, sexy cocky, demanding and Russian but is he too good to be true? He showed Ava how much he cared on so many levels though sometimes I found her a bit annoying, the more I read the more I warmed to her. Essentially this is the story of two people finding love but its also about family, forgiveness and revenge. All in all I loved it the storyline was strong passionate and emotional and for me Viktor stole the show!
Ava had her life mapped out, she taught ballet, had a gorgeous boyfriend life was good until one night a drunken mistake took it all away from her, left pregnant and alone after Malcolm walks away Ava is facing life as a single mother. Then in walks Viktor; he helps her when she's in labour, he sweeps into her life and into her heart providing her with much needed support and a job. Viktor offers her the chance to start over and re invent herself. He owns a club and he has strict rules, he doesn’t get involved with staff there's no mixing business with pleasure. He offers Ava a contract which states there would be nothing between them but with feelings growing on both sides how long can they both stick to his rules? Viktor is keeping secrets,he has been hurt and vowed never to let anyone close to him again,the past is still causing problems for Ava and both have issues with trust can they build a relationship together?

Temptation it is everywhere you look especially in the form of flesh. Ava story isn’t your everyday story it is a story that starts with three simple words that rocks the very foundation of her world. This is a story of love, hurt, and finding yourself when you didn’t even know it was possible. What started as a woman trying to finding herself when she has been broken trying to find what she has been missing. Viktor isn’t your everyday club owner and what was thought to be an ever. Day club owner turns out to be something much deeper. This story has a little of everything passion, love, romance, and betrayal.
Viktor and Ava’s relationship was not your everyday relationship one he was her savior and her boss to him she was his temptation the one person that made him want to break his rules about mixing business with pleasure. I don't think I like this book but I loved it. This was a book about two people finding their way to each other. I loved their passion and how much they seem to connect to each other. Ava found her strength and learned to love again and Viktor found out that sometimes revenge is never worth the cost. Sometimes forgiveness is the answer to everything that will make everything right in our lives.
Brie Paisley did an amazing job with this story it was a story that made you want to reread over and over again. This is definitely a story that I would recommend to anyone that’s looking for a hot steamy story of love and family. I really cannot say anything other than this is a must read book. It will not be my last book by Ms. Paisley.

When I started reading this, it definitely piqued me interest and made me curious as to how the story would progress. Which, at the start I assumed it would be predictable, but it was everything outside of predictable! I found myself trying to guess what would happen next, but of course I was wrong. This story was really intense as it was constantly shoving a number of different twists and turns at you, which actually made the story more believable. (At least with my own experience in life and how it can seem like it's always one thing after another).
The only thing I struggled with is that it seem like it was in need of a lot editing, although it could have just been the copy I received.
In the end, I ABSOLUTELY loved this book. It had me right there with Ava throughout all the turmoil and constant change in emotions and feelings. It had me crying and laughing and most definitely feeling the heat in the steamy. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes a good romance that will captivate you and will make you want to keep going until you get to the end. And that ending was like a rainy day after a 100° weather.

Brie Paisley is a new author for me and sent me her books for an honest review. I can tell you now I do like her writing style. Although this is the first of what I hope is many books of hers I read I love the development of the storyline. This book tells of young love, heartbreak, shattered dreams, unconditional support of family, horrible parenting from others. Her ability to pull you into it and see that sometimes the best thing for us in right in front of us and that things do happen for a reason.
How she was able to take us through the heartbreak and the newfound interest is amazing and it shows that Viktor has so much more to learn than he thought possible, especially when his best laid plan backfires!! Malcolm is proven to be the scum of the earth and his mother is worse yet!!! You will hate her as I did I hope!!! Ava proves to be worthy of of so much more than one would think once you read her part in this book you will understand. I applaud Brie Paisley for pulling us in and keeping us hooked. I read this book in one day, it's a smooth easy read and like I have mentioned it pulls you in!!! Must read in my opinion....Job well done Ms. Paisley!

This was an amazing book!!!! The characters just come to life as you read. I couldn't put the book down!!!!
Ava is in high school and is the shy good girl. When Malcolm starts showing interest in her she goes with it even though he is in college. A single night together with sone alcohol leads so some life changes. When Malcolm just up and leaves her she is hurt and does not know what to do. She doesn't. understand how a stranger can be there to help her but not her fiance. Soon Ava is on a new life path that is slowly making her happy especially when she takes a risk. This may all blow up in her face but she is ready to try.
Viktor never expected that something so perfect would land in his lap. He wants revenge and this is the way to get it at least until he falls in love. Now how is he supposed to keep all the lies hidden. He loves her but has been selfish and he knows that will tear her heart out. How does he fix this and what can he do to keep his love?

This was such a good book. It shows how someone can persevere no matter what life throws at you.
Ava makes a huge mistake during one drunken night & finds herself pregnant.
She knows she has to try to make sure her baby has everything it will need. After realizing she won't be able to lean on her baby's daddy she knows she will do whatever she needs to do to make it.
Viktor shows up at the right time & literally saves her.
The bond between them grows stronger & despite feeling that some men are not to be trusted or relied on, Ava can't deny her growing feelings for Viktor.
Viktor offers Ava a chance to be able to provide for her daughter Gabby and to do & be someone she never thought she could be.
Will Ava force Viktor to break all his rules for her & can Viktor break through Ava's walls and show her that some men can be trusted?
