Following His Orders

Rate this book
Bentley

I graduated second of my class.
I scored a job at the top firm in Melbourne.
I won the associate position to a named partner.
No matter what crazy orders or smouldering smirks that same partner sends my way, I will not let him derail me from my plan.
I don’t care if his name is currently on the wall.
Because, one day, mine will be up there right next to it.

Nathan

I’ve never done this before.
Taken on an associate.
They’re more hassle than they’re worth. But one look at Bentley Johnson and I knew I had to have her.
In more ways than one.
She follows my orders in the office like the perfect little girl she is.
I can only hope she’ll be as submissive in the bedroom.
Time will tell…
She’s too young for me. Too smart. And way too innocent. But I always get what I want.
And right now, that comes in the form of a petite little blonde with a brain as impressive as her ass.


This is book 2 in the Tempter Series, A stand-alone, spicy office romance.

»I've never met anyone like you, Bentley. I want to keep you forever.«

❥ 𝑩𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒍𝒆𝒚
She was funny and relatable as a character. I liked her cheeky way of handling Xavier and that she stands her ground against him.

❥ 𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏
A big, grumpy and rich lawyer who is completely obsessed with his sisters best friend. Liked him.

✥ 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒐𝒐𝒌
This book was super cute and funny.
The writing style was good like all books from Kylie Kent and I like it that all her stories are connected. All mentioned couples have their own book and this is cool.
Bentley and Nathan are great together. Nathan becomes obsessed quickly and does everything to keep Bentley in his proximity. These two have great tension and I liked their interactions. I just think their relationship could have been build a little longer because they drop the „love“-bomb really early. Sometimes it felt a little bit rushed and I can‘t comprehend we’re their feelings are coming from.
Still the plot was interesting and it is a quick read.

Wow. This book is amazing. Short but not too short, and actually it’s not a heavy romance. Which is good if you are looking for not heavy romance story from a couple that is incredibly romantic and hot! Cause i was so shocked when i read this book. Everything is so romantic, easy and not a heavy story. Even the characters is very easy to understand and read their POV…. I love this author!

The heroine is the newest employee at a Law Firm, she’s known to be very smart and have a great degree with her. She apply at a corporate law firm company in Melbourne Australia and it was very known to be famous one too. She was accepted and even her other two boss was so impressed by her. One day at her graduation ceremony, she about to do a speech then she saw her two boss was in the audience. One of the boss is the hero himself. Things went very hot and romantic from there though😏😏😏


And i love it when the hero immediately went after the heroine when he first saw her picture😏 The first time he meet her is when he goes to her graduation ceremony because he was curious about her… “We’ve hired a lot of people, Nathan. We’ve never sat through an entire graduation ceremony for them,” 🤣🤣
Then after he talk to her face to face after the ceremony, he immediately knows that he wants her…. Even though he said at first that it was just a “lust” that he needs then he will not needed her anymore, but that quickly change after he got closer to her…

AND THIS IS NOT A SLOW-BURN THO. Things got very heavy between them especially the hero when he meet the heroine for the second time at their office which aka the heroine’s first day at the office and aka the hero is one of the boss. The hero lose control with her 🤣 Which is freakin ROMANTIC if you ask me. “You’re not affected by me at all?” he asks. His fingertips caress my shoulder, moving their way up my neck. He tucks the loose strands of my hair behind my ear. “Because I’m very affected by you, Bentley.” 😏😏😏🥵




‼️‼️‼️SAFE ROMANTIC HOT OFFICE LOVE STORY.

‼️‼️‼️TRIGGERS: Death, drugs, alcohol, killing, violence and mysteries.

‼️‼️‼️LOVE IN FIRST SIGHT

Well lust at the first time but then it turns out to be love… The couple never ever be in a serious relationship before and never ever love a spouse before so they were neglecting the love feeling when they first saw each other… But then they realized it was love after all….

‼️‼️‼️NO VIRGINS

‼️‼️‼️NO CHEATING

‼️‼️‼️NO SEPARATION

‼️‼️‼️The hero is 33 years old and the heroine is in her 20’s. The age gap is like 10 years.

‼️‼️‼️LOCATION: Melbourne, Australia

‼️‼️‼️THE HERO IS POSSESSIVE PROTECTIVE MILLIONAIRE LAWYER ALPHA MALE.

He used to be a manwhor3 but not a major one though….

He is so very protective towards the heroine. Even to a client. “I won’t let anyone talk to you like that. Ever. I don’t care who the fuck they think they are. No one will ever disrespect you.”


‼️‼️‼️THE HEROINE she is sassy but not too sassy…. The heroine was pretty stubborn with the hero🤣 she didn’t even say yes to him when he asked her out for the first time. But i love it when the hero kissed her to make sure she have to say yes to his offer 😆

Also I’m glad that when the hero asked her to move in with him permanently, she declined him because she knows his place used to have his old fvck buddies there. Wise woman! Even when the hero brings it up a couple of times of her moving in with him, she always declined.

‼️‼️‼️DUAL POV

‼️‼️‼️THE SMUT SCENES OMG. Even at the beginning the hot amazing chemistry tension between them is very beautiful and hot 😏😏😚 The hero always loves the heroine’s body and always love touching her, everything.

“That you’re going to have to feed me this delectable fucking pussy of yours regularly now. I told you one taste wouldn’t be enough. Fuck, I already want to do it again.”

When they had s3x for the first time, the hero immediately say You.Are.Fvcking.Mine 🥺🥵 (my own personal favorite scene) 😏


‼️‼️‼️THE HERO WANTS THE HEROINE SOOOO BADLY…. HE IS OBSESSED. HE PURSUE HER SOOO BAD 😏❤️
Even in the beginning of their relationship, the hero is always the first one to ask her about moving in with him and that he likes having her in his place… “You know, this is nice, Having you here, waking up next to you. We should make it a more permanent thing. I can clear out some closet space for you.”

“But Bentley? She’s both. She’s everything I’ve been looking for and then some. Because the woman is fucking brilliant on top of it all. The whole fucking package. It would just be a lot easier if she weren’t my employee. That little fact won’t stop me from having her though.”

He really pursue and chase her every single day! He literally will do anything to have her and to keep her ❤️

when the hero asked the heroine out for the first time, she said she will think about it then later she said no. the hero immediately went on searching her address and go to her house so she can go out with him. so hot😏

“Why me?” I ask him. “You could have any woman, fuck the female population to your heart’s content. Why go through this kind of hassle for me?”
“I don’t want just any woman. I want you.”
“What happens when you don’t anymore?” I question him.
“We will cross that bridge when and if that day ever comes.” 🥺🥺

When he first touched her private parts, he immediately just claimed her. So hot!
“My vagina is a gift?”
“Fuck yes, it is, and now that you’ve given it to me, it’s mine. I don’t return gifts, Bentley. This belongs to me now,”

Even when they just have s3x, two days later the hero can’t stop thinking about her and don’t like that the heroine is too far from him in the office. Like wow ❤️ “The last couple of days in the office have been busy. I’ve barely seen her. I don’t like it.”
(I love it when the hero can’t stop thinking about her after they had s3x which means the heroine is very special🥺)

After they had s3x, the heroine thought it was a one thing but the hero immediately make things clear with her about that. Which is very romantic to read and funny lol.

“We can’t do that in the office. In fact, I think we should refrain from indulging in any form of O benefits until the weekends.”
“O benefits?”
“Orgasm benefits,” she says.
“Right. Well, that’s not going to work for me. It’s only Wednesday, and I’m already going out of my mind here, Bentley. I need you.”
“Want. It’s a want, not a need. I’m sure you have a little black book somewhere you can use to get your needs and wants filled.”
“Sit down. We’re not even close to being done here.” My tone is harsh, way too harsh. But, fuck, her carefree go and fuck anyone else attitude pisses me off.
“Let’s get one thing straight. This O benefits program we’re engaged in. It’s exclusive. There are no other members in the club. No one else is permitted entry. Get my drift.”
“And if I don’t agree?” she counters.
“Then there won’t be any O benefits,” I tell her. “It’s exclusive or it’s not at all, Bentley.”
“Okay, well, I choose not at all. Let’s be honest. This isn’t going to end well. We should quit while we’re ahead. It was good, the best. But it’s not right, and if we stop now, no one will get hurt.”
“I object.”
“We’re not in court, Nathan.”
“I don’t care. I object to you seeing anyone else, to you getting any kind of O benefits from anyone else. I fucking object to anyone else putting their dicks into your pussy.”

😆😆🥵😏😏🥺❤️❤️❤️


‼️‼️‼️IT HAS PUSHING AWAY FROM THE HEROINE BUT NEVER FROM THE HERO… But not too much and not annoying….

‼️‼️‼️A EX FVCK BUDDY FROM THE HERO SHOWS UP ONE TIME BEFORE THE HERO AND HEROINE EVEN TOUCHED EACH OTHER. This is the night after the graduation ceremony. The woman shows up at his apartment wearing nothing but the hero immediately send her away and said to never ever came back there. Good move!

And unfortunately one night after the heroine and hero have s3x like two times, the heroine went on a club with her sister because it was her sister’s birthday celebration… The heroine was dancing and some guy danced with her. The hero was on the same club but with his best friends and saw the heroine with some guy dancing. He got so mad and jealous so he do something very childish… He reaches a random woman and then both go to the VIP area. “If Bentley thinks it’s okay to grind her ass on some other guy’s cock, let’s see how she likes it when I have another woman in my arms. I bring the girl up to the VIP section with me, where I take a seat and pull the blonde onto my lap, hating every second of it. It’s the wrong girl. I should be with Bentley. I should have Bentley sitting on my lap, not some random chick I have no intention of touching.”. So why even do it🤣 Then one of his best friend tells something to the girl on his lap, the girl walked away. The hero immediately went on searching for the heroine… Which is annoying cause why even do it and why have your friend to do that when you can remove her by yourself🙄🙄💀 Dumbass.

But thankfully that was one time. Something like that never ever happens again so yeah great lol.


‼️‼️‼️NOT MANY JEALOUS SCENES from the both of them. But it was there though and mostly from the hero!

‼️‼️‼️THE CHEMISTRY between them omg. You can freakin feel it in your bones❤️ Very romantic and sweet! So many times i say AWWWEE…. For a quick and not heavy story, the chemistry is well written and so romantic. It’s even more romantic cause the hero is the one who always pursue the heroine and will do anything for her 🥺

“I roll over on my side, so I can get a better look at her. Then I cup her cheek in my hand as my lips gently meet hers. I’ve never been so happy to wake up next to a woman before. I’ve never wanted anyone as much as I want her. I want to shout it from the rooftops, announce to the world that this girl is mine. But I know I can’t do that. I don’t want to hurt her career in any way. I’m also not prepared to give her up. Ever.”

Many times he’s the one who cooks for her, make sure to eat and make something for her🥺 They go on dates, he do a whole picnic for her 🥺

When the hero and heroine say i love you for the first time, which btw the hero said it to her first… The hero immediately called his best friends aka coworkers to tell them about his relationship with the heroine is serious. Which is very smart of him to do so! And I’m so glad that his coworkers didn’t even get mad about it or against them🥺

“No, I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life. I love you, Bentley, and that is a fact that won’t ever change,”

One time When the heroine decides not to sleep with him at his apartment, the hero cannot sleep cause he wants the heroine next to him🥺

“I was just thinking about you,” he says.
“Really?” I ask.
“I’m always thinking about you”

❤️

‼️‼️‼️DRAMA WITH a family enemy from the heroine. No drama with ow and om. And other drama is about work tho.

‼️‼️‼️I’m so glad that even though the relationship starts at the office, it didn’t have a woman or a man try to mess their relationship or flirt with any of them.

‼️‼️‼️HAPPY ENDING. Married🥺❤️ I wish it was a longer epilogue but I’m hoping to see that in the next book of the series though🥺🙏🏼













👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽Thank you so much for reading my review❤️ For you who loves my review and follow it, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I did not get paid or be told to do a review on a book. I’m here just to write review about a book so i can remember it. Its my honest opinion😚 I didn’t know at first people will find me and follow me and trust me to be honest, I was surprised myself to look at the notifications from people who reach out to me😆 So everything i write down here on a review is based on my personal opinion and based on my true writing. I DID NOT COPY SOMEONE’S REVIEW OR WRITING SKILL because at first when i was using this app for one year i didn’t know how to scroll down on a book and see the reviews from others😂😅🤣 I know, silly me but hey I finally learned my lesson 😛😛😛 Thats why when people assume i copy someone’s review i was like what? Because at first i didn’t know how to use this app properly and i didn’t know how to open someone’s review because for a year i never follow someone or add friends or someone😂😂😂🤣 (I’m laughing so hard) 🤪 AND I NEVER COPY SOMEONE’S REVIEW EVER. IF I WRITE SOMETHING WRONG OR DOESN’T MAKE SENSE PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND BE NICE OKAY. 👈🏽👈🏽👈🏽✋🏽✋🏽 IF YOU'RE BEING MEAN AND NEGATIVE ALREADY WITH A WARNING AND NOT BEING WISE TO ME, I WILL NOT ENTIRELY READ YOUR COMMENT AND REMOVE YOU EASILY AND FAST. I DO NOT TOLERATE NEGATIVE COMMENT SO KNOW YOUR PLACE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I’m writing my disclaimer again here cause many negative people still don't get it or still be stupid enough not to understand my POV when I already write it so many times before. So here I am writing it again to you beautifuls human being😁😁 WHEN YOU READ MY LONG OR SHORT REVIEW, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT WHAT I LIKE ABOUT A STORY AND CHARACTERS RIGHT... IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEN HERE IT IS: I LIKE A BOOK WITH VERY POSSESSIVE PROTECTIVE ALPHA MALE, NO CHEATING, AND PLEASE NO MANWHOR3, NO MANY PUSHING AWAY, NO DOORMAT HEROINES, NO MANY OW DRAMA, NO S3X SCENE WITH SOMEONE ELSE. AND SAFE ALL THE WAY AND A HAPPY ENDING. Something that I don't like it very much if the hero or heroine have a crazy fvcked up personality and likes. Example: killing someone and let the heroine watch it all and push the heroine to lick all the blood of his victim and made her have to eat the meat of humans. and fvcks many woman in front of the heroine while telling her he loves her. I DON'T LIKE THAT TYPE OF SH*T AT ALL. That's just who I am, that's what I like and I don't like on a book. Maybe you love that, but I don't. We humans are different, we think very differently from one another. You have your likes and I have mine, you have your opinions and I have mine of my own. You think it's stupid of me to love such a book or to not love a book or to hate it whatever lol, I think it's bad you think that way cause I respect people's opinions cause I know for a fact we have our differences. YOU AND ME ARE DIFFERENT FOR PETE'S SAKE. I even have my own friends or people I follow here that shows how much they don't like the book I like, I never even give them a long comment or short Comment. Cause I respect their opinions. I don't like to give people I hard time here cause life itself is already hard enough. I do respect your opinion if you say my review is bad or whatever negative things about it, but in the end of the day I will not changed my mind about what book I dislike and how my thoughts about it. You can't tell me what to do. You can give me advice but it's me who decided to know what's right for me, this is my life and not yours. Read that again. Don’t assume things about me that is not even real, just don’t. cause when you do you’re more small minded for sure. You're thinking why I'm telling you all of this when you already know? Is because you still hating on my opinions and don't understand my POV and don't respect my POV. You think i like writing this disclaimer when obviously you're an adult already? no i personally think this is unnecessary... but because there are people out there who still don't get it *rolling my eyes*. Hopefully they or the people who read this disclaimer can use a beautiful thing called a brain:) AND WHEN YOU READ MY REVIEW, READ IT VERY CLEARLY TO SEE IF I FINISHED THE BOOK OR NOT. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. AND YES ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE. BUT IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M WRITING, THEN IT MEANS YOU UNDERSTAND IT ENOUGH. I DO NOT TOLERATE BULLYING, NEGATIVE COMMENTS AND MEAN WORDS. PLEASE USE A WISE WORDS SO WE DON'T ATTACK EACH OTHER. SIMPLY, I DON’T LIKE TO HAVE AN ARGUMENT WITH STRANGERS LIKE YOU CAUSE I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO😚 BUT IF YOU STILL WANT TO BE AMBER HEARD KARENS THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND MY DISCLAIMER AFTER I JUST WRITE IT DOWN, THEN GO ENJOY YOUR DAY AND GO AWAY. IT'S VERY EASY FOR A HUMAN COULD DO YA KNOW. IF YOU STILL HERE HATING ME OR ANNOYED WITH ME, THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM. NOT ME PROBLEM. HASHTAGS BURN😂😂 DON'T TAKE THINGS TOO PERSONALLY ON ONLINE CAUSE WE ALL A STRANGERS, WE NEVER EVER MEET. WE'RE ADULTS HERE SO LETS BE WISER. LAST, I BLOCK NEGATIVE PEOPLE! SO GET WELL SOON TO THE HATERS. HOPEFULLY YOUR HEART AND MIND WILL BE MORE POSITIVE 🙏🙏🙏 AND THIS DISCLAIMER MAY SEEMS LIKE TOO HARSH ON YOU BUT HEY I DON'T LIKE TO SUGAR COATED THINGS. I LIKE TO SAY TO THE POINT WITH MY UNDERSTANDING AND MY OWN THOUGHTS, CAUSE THAT'S HOW HUMANS ARE. WE ARE DIFFERENT REMEMBER👍 HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!

This was such a good palate cleanser, I guess, though there are too many steamy scenes here. Sometimes I don't mind them, but there's just too much smut a person can handle. 😂

Nathan (33) is Bentley's (23) boss; she's a fresh graduate and works as an associate with Nathan. I think it was insta-lust for Nathan when he and his partners interviewed Bentley for the position. Though this particular scene was only mentioned in passing, I think I can greatly deduce that she left an impression on him. Nathan even attended her graduation, which was like 2 months before her actual first day at their law firm.

I have to say that even before she started in the law firm, they're being inappropriate already. 😂 On her graduation day, Nathan approached her and made some innuendos. Mind you, she's not working for him yet at this point hahaha.

On her first day, let's just say that professionalism was thrown out the window. Nathan doesn't give a crap; he wanted Bentley, so he'll have her. Bentley was hesitant at first because this is her first job and she wanted to prove herself, but the body-betraying syndrome is way more powerful than her common sense. 

Nathan was so down bad for Bentley; he really fell fast and hard for her. and he was surprised that she always refused all the things he offered her. It was confusing for him at the beginning how the other women would fall at his feet and be ecstatic with the chance of being with him, but Bentley wasn't even on the same wavelength as those women. He's a decade older than her, but sometimes his antics cracked me up, like they came from a hormonal teenager.

I look at her in shock. Did she seriously just turn down my proposal? I have a long list of women who have been attempting to get this sort of exclusive deal from me. None have ever been successful, and the first girl I offer it to—on a silver fucking platter, mind you—turns it the fuck down.


She was feisty but also horny. She tried to walk away from their setup but eventually fell back in again. She's smart too; she graduated at the top of her class. I understood her reason for being a lawyer, though it was kind of painful. She never gave up, and I'm proud of her for finding justice.

Like I said, this was good, though it was freaking straight-up porn. Gosh! I think they did it every chapter; they really fucked like bunnies. Also, this was a freaking cheesefest; they dropped the love bomb around 37%, and Nathan asked Bentley to move in with him around 45% of the book. I have to say he worked fast. 🤣

Overall, this is still enjoyable, with a minimal plot and some twists at the end. I'll still recommend this if readers want to pass time and read less than 300+ pages.

Safety warnings:
- No cheating
- OW1 (his ex-fuck buddy went into his penthouse without his knowledge and waited for him naked on his couch, but he kicked her out.)
- OW2 (he saw Bentley dancing with OM, then, to be petty, he dragged a random woman and sat her on his lap; he didn't do anything with her, but it still annoyed me.)
- OM (Bentley was dancing with her sister in a bar after her first day, then this guy danced with her, and she didn't push him away. Nothing happened, and she went to the bathroom afterwards.)
- Mention of suicide, murder, death of parent

Additional note:
- Nathan, I think he was a player, but nothing more about his reputation was talked about in detail, only in passing.
- There's a 2-month span between Bentley's graduation and her first day as an associate. But there's no mention of whether they've been with other people in those two months.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

"You are a remarkable woman, Bentley Johnson. Almost perfect. In fact, there's only one little thing that I would change about you..." "Oh yeah, what's that?" she questions. "Your last name." I smile wide at her shocked expression. "I'd replace it with mine."

⭐️ 4/5 🌶️ 2/5
Book #2 of The Tempter Series

Kylie Kent really out did her self with this book. I loved how it was in the same time line as the first book, but was a complete shock on what was happening. I am literally so in love with Bentley and Nathan, they are so adorable. Their passion was so strong from the very beginning, and once they fell in love everything somehow got even more intense.

This is the story of Nathan and Bentley. Nathan Miller is one of the top (if not the top) corporate lawyers in Melbourne and his firm is taking on a new first-year associate that since his firm agreed to hire her he can't stop thinking about. Bentley is determined to become a great corporate lawyer and if she can clear her father's name.

The two have clear chemistry and there is a conflict between being boss and associate.Bentley isn't weak-willed and she gives Nathan a run for his money and He was literally obsessed with her and was ready to risk everything to make her his. I love a well written possessive man because never once did I feel like he was controlling. And Bentley? Sweet Bentley she had a few insecurities but she worked through her shit and was not afraid to speak her mind, the banter are the beginning of the book where they were still figuring stuff out was so good.

4.5⭐️


this book was so freaking fun and funny I love Bentley and Nathan they are just the cutest best friends


this couple had so much chemistry, banter, and honestly the whole time while i was reading i could tell that they were best friends. the comfort they found in one another, the passion they felt was just so freaking good. nathan was so intense but in all the right ways, he never once doubted his feelings for bentley and GREEN FLAG. he was cocky yet not in the way that makes you want to punch them in the face, he was confident yet had such a good heart. their whole relationship flourished throughout the book. in the beginning it was very much based on physical attraction but after they solidified their relationship, i started to see their feelings develop. it was just so fun…also again cannot wait for Lucy’s book.

The intensity of this book was phenomenal. I was in love with this couple. This was every bit an Insta-lust book and honestly, you could feel it. Nathan's dirty mouth even got me needing a cold shower, wow! Bentley was incredible, especially with what happened in her past. That girl worked hard for her achievements and Nathan was there for it all. I loved the side characters including her sister. Now that epilogue has me wanting more and I can't wait to see what happens next. This is a standalone in a series. For a better understanding, I would read the first book.

fast yummy read

I enjoyed this read just as much as book 1. I liked that Nathan fell first and fell hard and Wasn’t afraid of this feelings, even if he was the playboy at one point kinda guy.

Nathan knows what he wants and goes for it.

Bentley as much as she tries to fight he attraction to her older boss obviously loses the battle.

This book is steamy, hot, fun and an enjoyable quick read

Pure perfection

Please where do I even begin with these two? I am literally so in love with Bentley and Nathan it's INSANE!! Their passion was so strong from the beginning, and once they fell in love everything somehow got even more intense. I was drunk on their love istg

Nathan was literally obsessed with her and was ready to risk everything to make her his 😩 I love a well written possessive man because never once did I feel like he was controlling. And Bentley? Sweet baby she had a few insecurities but she worked through her shit and did her best to love him. She deserves him and more for all the crazy shit that's happened to her.

Definitely think this one will be my fave in the series but I'll wait for the last installment to come out before deciding

Following His Orders is the second in The Tempter Series. A workplace romance, billionaire boss, slightly forbidden romance. I've really liked both the books in this series so far, not sure I can pick a favorite between the two.

This is the story of Nathan and Bentley. Nathan Miller is one of the top (if not the top) corporate lawyers in Melbourne and his firm is taking on a new first-year associate that since his firm agreed to hire her he can't stop thinking about. Bentley is determined to become a great corporate lawyer and if she can clear her father's name.

The two have clear chemistry and there is a conflict between being boss and underling. Bentley isn't weak-willed and she gives Nathan a run for his money but someone as dominant and possessive as Nathan also isn't going to give up.

It's a great read that starts off with amazing sizzling chemistry, a chase, and then a connection that is supportive and fulfilling.

If you've read Kylie Kent's books before you'll be enjoying this series as much as me and I'm really looking forward to Alistar's book to round out the series.
.
.
.
Seeing Nathan Miller at her graduation ceremony through Bentley off and there are very few people that are able to shake her balance. Now she's starting working for his firm and she's going to have to try and ignore just how much she wants the man that is now her boss.
'Not only is Nathan one of my new bosses, he’s also the partner I’ll be working under. Reporting directly to him. Which wouldn’t be a problem at all if my lady parts didn’t want to be working under him in a completely different way—a very never going to happen in a million years' way. The man is hot as sin.'

Bentley Johnson has been in Nathans's thoughts since he and his partners hired her to be his newest first-year associate. She is perfect for the job, she's smart and she's got what it takes to tackle the business world. None of that matters though because she might be more than perfect for her job, but she's what he wants more than anything.

Once Nathan gets Bentley he finds that nothing will keep him back from her. Not how much she tries to leave including quitting her job, not her worries about how people will look at her, and not her past. Nathan is sure about everything with Bentley and he's just going to have to show her he's not going anywhere.
'I knew I wouldn’t be able to resist touching her. And now that I have, I only want to do it more. I want to feel the curves of her waist under my hands. I want to hold the weight of her breasts in my palms. I want to touch every inch of her silky, smooth skin. When you’re used to getting everything you want, always, it’s really fucking hard to deny yourself something as alluring as Bentley Johnson.'

Trying to work through the ups and downs of a workplace relationship and the case that could prove Bentley's father's innocent is just some of the issues they'll face before they can find their happily ever after.

Happy Reading.

4.5 stars rounded down

Total spoilers coming up.

While I enjoyed this book and their story overall, I felt like it was too similar to the first book in the series. And based on the next book, I have a feeling it's going to be the same. :(

The parallels between this one and the first book were just too much for me to rate it higher. It's the same age gap, office romance plotline. And even some of the steamy scenes were very much alike. So I didn't feel that there was much difference in the guys. Except for their backgrounds a little bit. Otherwise they all wanted to be told yes sir in the bedroom. And in the office.

So, if you want a duplicated story overall - age gap, billionaire lawyer, forbidden office romance they blow to smithereens, office sex, hesitance about moving in, woman recording the problem maker to save the guy, and then the ultimate happily ever after... Read these two books. Lol.

Alistair looks like his will be similar except they met at a sex club and have that extra kink together. I just wanted Lucy and Dominics story, but it looks like it doesn't come out until July. :(

Nathan and Bentley

This was a lighthearted, enjoyable read. It was very low angst and high steam. There was very little drama and some good humor. Overall it was a good book to escape reality with.

Bentley and Nathan were a great couple. I loved the way they supported each other in both their personal and professional lives. Bentley was a strong female lead who wasn’t going to just take Nathan’s orders and that’s what made their relationship so special. Nathan needed the “good girl” who had a backbone, and that’s what he got in Bentley.

I loved the office romance. Nathan and Bentley taking on cases together was so fun. I loved the way Nathan was ready to stand up for Bentley, even before their relationship started. They were the perfect power couple.

This was a great addition to the series. I liked that it was in the same time frame as Shardonnay and Xavier’s romance. It added some depth to both stories, almost like having four points of view for some scenes instead of two.

🌶🌶🌶🌶


First let me say there is an over lap in the time line with Following His Rules and it was done perfectly. I would suggest you read these books in order. There are only a couple of scenes where there it's the same scene just a different POV and there's a couple scenes that expand on what we saw in Following His Rules.


Nathan is a hot shot corporate attorney and he has a thing for his newly graduated first year associate. Bentley is determined to clear her father's name and see his ex business partner in jail. Nathan comes under fire from one of his clients when her stand up for Bentley and takes her side telling the client that they could leave. 


I loved this book! The characters and plot have depth to them. I wish there was a little more character growth, but overall it was great. The spicy scenes are HOT! 🔥 🥵 Lots of dirty talk and details in the scenes. If you are not one for a lot of detail then this book might not be for you.

Following His Orders By Kylie Kent:
(Book Two of The Tempter Series)

Oh man poor Bentley...loosing her father like that. Holy shit Nathan picking Bentley over a client. That bar bathroom scene 🔥🥵. Then her office too hot! Damn the hurt she felt when he took another girl up to VIP.... but then that closet scene! Damn! He threw a punch for her! I freaking love drunk Bentley she is a trip! Oh my gosh Nathan's allergy, his friends are kind of jerks for it but man Bentleys reaction! Damn that breakfast scene was hot! I love Nathan's response to Bentleys mom! I also really love how protective he is of Bentley. Oh my gosh! The house, how sweet! Oh my gosh! I absolutely love the When Worlds Collide chapter!

🔥Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
📓Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

I completely love love love Kylie Kent’s books! This book felt a little more rushed which is why I gave it 3 1/2 stars. However it still brought all the spice that most of her books bring. Bentley has just graduated from law school and is on a path of bringing down her dads ex business partner. She then falls for her boss- Nathan. These 2 have off the charts chemistry, and their banter towards eachother was hilarious. I would have loved a little more on the lawsuit with her dads ex business partner, felt like that whole scenario was amped up so much and then fizzled out. The writing was perfect and made me want more, was also very fast paced

Bentley just graduated from uni with her degree in law and is the top of her class she is now the first year associate at Nathan’s law firm and working directly until him. All she wants to do is find a way to clear her dad’s name as he was sent to prison when she was 16 for illegal activity related to his business.
Nathan owns a third of a law firm. His specialty os corporate law. Bentley is his first year associate. From the first time he laid eyes on her he wanted her. Bentley thought he was hot but didn’t want to be known for sleeping with the boss.
These charters are written amazingly and I have really enjoy this book by Kylie.

“Eyes on me, baby girl. I want you to see what I’m doing to you.”

3.5⭐️ The FMC was a great addition to this world and story line. I loved her sass and intelligence and her backstory was a really interesting element into how she fits in with the legal world.

I’m glad this is fiction as the professionalism of this world is disturbing at times, like there are no boundaries in this workplace haha! It’s a forbidden and a steamy workplace rendezvous.

I love the world crossover at the end. I’m really excited to read the next book in the series, but also to see how some of the side characters get their HEA. Good book!

I liked the book.
It was a quick read.

Bentley is a new lawyer in a firm owned by Nathan and his two friends.
Nathan is attracted to Bentley from the moment he interviewed her.

Their sexual relationship starts the first day she starts work for the firm when he follows her into a bathroom and finger bangs her.

The relationship felt like it started really fast.

Throughout the book their relationship does grow but most of it is about the sex and that is what they seem to fall in love with each other. There is some history they talk about but not a lot is in the book.

Spice is 3.5

Oh my!

Bentley and Nathan definitely break all the workplace rules but it doesn’t matter when they’re so compatible - and not just sexually. Ooh the sexual tension from their first interaction just leapt off the pages and you become enthralled with their insane chemistry.

Nathan just stole my heart and the way he fell for his associate just brought all the feels. Ladies would kill for a man who fights for them and can deliver orgasms like none other. Bentley is lucky but then again so is he for having her. She is smart and independent. Perfect for him.

Kylie Kent did it again! Her books are so addicting and will get you hooked.

Nathan and Bentley have a ton of chemistry and are so cute together. They end up having to overcome a few hurdles but the love and support for each other is AMAZING. I just wish it would have shown a little glimpse of their future at the end of the book.

I was hoping the next story would be Alastair and Jules-Bentley’s little sister, but a glimpse of his spicy side at the end states otherwise.
Can’t wait for more reads!

Nathan and Bentley we a bit too smooth sailing for me. There was really no drama for them aside from a couple of lawsuits. I was hoping to get more drama with her dad's ex partner after the way he threw her dad under the bus. Like the first book, I do wish we got to see Nathan in action in the court room and not just cut to him winning right away. I wanted more angst and just more something. That being said, lots of spicy moments.

OMG OMG! Matteo, Savannah, and Riley all make an appearance and I fangirled real hard! Loved how they tied in the two story lines.

Nathan and Bentley, WOW!!

Another hit from the world of hot sexy men and the women that capture them, heart, body and soul. Nathan and Bentley are so suited for each other. Age is so not a problem with these two.
I love how every one of Julie's Kent's book worlds seen to flow into each other wonderfully.
I can not wait to see how Bentley, Lucy and Savannah get along making the men fall in line.

I generally don't mind the discrepancy in power dynamics (boss/employee) between the H/h, but for some reason, the situation in this book did not sit as well with me. I think the difference was that in other books, the force of attraction overcame the power discrepancy, but in this book, the power discrepancy was constantly emphasized to the point that it felt like the reason for the attraction between H/h. I enjoyed the relationship between the two parties a little bit less.

Page 1 and he’s already so into her before she’s even started working for him officially. So they’ve know each other, what, like an hour? From her interview. Ugh. So ridiculous that he would already be so enamored with her in no time. It just makes these fantasies turn into ridiculousness and it’s hard to get on board with them. Their first conversation was also just awkward and cringe.

I usually like books by this author but this was a bummer. DNF 10%
