Fighting Temptation
4.3 stars
This is the second time reading this and I enjoyed it more than I did the first time. This is the perfect book showcasing a jealous and possessive man that isn't too over the top and only acts this way because the woman he loves his life. Strong characters, strong secondary characters, a sad backstory of what unites all the characters, and perfect love with a happily ever after. I hope Cooper and Kayla get a story even though Cooper isn't one of the Seals.

Sweet Temptation

I am glad that I didn't pay any attention to the reviews for this book because I would have missed out on a really good story with great characters. Maybe, I am old school but it wasn't like Sawyer and Grace had labels and this happened while they were a couple. If that was the case then hell I have been a cheater too for doing almost the exact same thing and considering I have been cheated on I am pretty sensitive to this. To each their own I guess. I am not saying that it was kind of disappointing, as it was, but the guy more than redeemed himself. He was sweet and gave his all to make sure that his cupcake knew that she had someone on her side.

Loved her resilience and ability to see the best in everything. Loved her devotion to Mac and Chuckie. I really was intrigued by Jace from Sawyer's hometown. I think there is more than meets the eye with this guy and would love it if the author gave him a story.

Resisting Temptation
4.6 stars
The best out of this series. I was drawn to Cade from the first book. There was just something about him. I wanted to know what haunted him.I knew from the previous books what had happened but to get his perspective in this one. Yeah, it was rough. Even getting Faith and her perspective on it was rough. Unlike the other reviews that bashed this for having God or not believing in it, depending on if it was Faith or Cade that was talking here, I never was put off by it as they seemed to be. As someone who is very agnostic in their beliefs and just hearing the word God often makes me roll my eyes and instantly tune out and yet, I never felt inclined to do that here. It wasn't preachy, it wasn't overzealous. I appreciated how it was approached. It wasn't the focus of the story, it was what Faith focused on during an awful time (which was talked about but wasn't graphic) and it made me sympathize with her and be empathetic. She didn't shove it down Cade's throat. In fact, how she and her family were, made me think they have the right idea what it means to be Christian because they put Christ back in it. I loved that these two got to heal. It was much needed for both of them.

I loved Christopher and Ruthie and seeing the secondary characters. My biggest complaint in this story not being rated higher was I expected to see something more in regards to these guys being a real family. I thought I would see an adoption scene or something. Maybe, I am just being greedy but after all this work it seemed like it was missing something. That being said, great story about the power of love and redemption. I also would have liked to see Cooper and Kayla have their story told.
