Tristan's Temptation

by Sabrina York (Goodreads Author)

3.88 of 5 stars 3.88 · rating details · 66 ratings · 10 reviews

The red-hot sequel to Adam's Obsession. Tristan Trillo has one steadfast rule-thou shalt not fish in the company pond. That puts his executive assistant Shannon Weiss firmly out of reach. He tells himself the secret steamy computer simulations he creates-ones featuring a seductress with more than a passing resemblance to Shannon-are enough. But watching the virtual Shannon...more

Review:

True to form, Ms. York has once again knocked it out of the park with this fabulous follow up to ADAM’S OBSESSION. For those of you who don’t know, Adam is Tristan’s brother. They run a successful company with a friend and have a few – never-to-be-broken rules; one of which involves never ever fishing in the company pond (if you get my drift). Well, Adam goes and breaks that rule when he falls head-over-heels for a co-worker. They go on to hide the relationship and eventually come to an impasse. End the relationship, continue the relationship with his girlfriend working for another company, or suck it up and tell everyone. It’s an erotic romance, so I am sure you know how it ends up playing out.

TRISTAN’S TEMPTATION is similar and we all had a bit of a notion of what might occur within this book. I say that because readers of ADAM’S OBSESSIONS were dropped subtle hints here and there regarding Tristan’s feelings toward a co-worker, Shannon, actually his secretary. We were led to believe that perhaps a bit of Tristan’s animosity toward Adam and Kat’s relationship stemmed from his own longing for Shannon and no way to act on it. At least, that is what I picked up on in Book 1. *wink*

So time has passed just a bit and Adam and Kat are planning their wedding. The company has developed this virtual program that lets the user “role play” his or her fantasies. Well, any scenario really, but hey, fantasies are better use for this program, yes? So Tristan ends up taking Shannon her laptop after she calls off work and inadvertently gives her his. The two go on to hack into each other’s systems and see that each has created fantasies about the other. Turns out both have fantasized about the other for quite some time. Okay, since the day they met, but neither knows this. All they know is that they have a deep desire for one another and no way to act on it with this dang rule in place. Well, Shannon is done wanting and denying herself so she acts. And holy hotness … does she ever act.

The problems come in several forms. Tristan maintains that they can never allow this to happen again each of the first few times they hook up. Then Tristan can’t allow himself to come clean when his feeling morph into something more because he is afraid of what Adam will say. And Shannon can only take so much of keeping her relationship secret because his refusal to come clean smacks of rejection. Anyway, much transpires and eventually he finds himself in basically the same predicament as Adam had. Forced to make a decision or risk losing Shannon, he acts. But it may be too little too late and he soon discovers that he has much more to lose that he bargained for.

Okay, so I usually don’t explain that much, but I really enjoyed this story. I liked that it was reminiscent of Book 1, but still a story all its own. I enjoyed the interaction between Tristan and Shannon and liked seeing how their desire for each other is slowly revealed. The scene where Tristan makes Shannon come clean with how long she has wanted him is beyond hot. *fans self in memory* And of course there is plenty of other smoking scenes that darn near melted my Kindle.

My only complaint was that one aspect of the story was completely predictable. As soon as the slightest hint was mentioned, I knew exactly where the author was headed with it. That said, I enjoyed how it played out just the same.

And Ms. York went one step beyond in writing the sweetest epilogue ever. I absolutely loved how she tied it up. A lot of times after I read a novella I feel like there was so much more to be said after that last line. I stare at the last line like “WHAT?” But there has to be more … and there never is. Hazards of loving short stories I suppose. Thank you Ms. York for allowing me closure with that fabulous epilogue that only enhanced. So, enough blabbering! Read this story! Hell, read both stories! You are sure to enjoy them and you can read them both in one day. I mean is there any better way to spend a day? I think not! But be careful ~ I may have tempted you, but prepare to become obsessed!

This is what he used to give his brother Adam grief for lustfully chasing after Kat. Tristan is now in a pickle. As one of the owner and founders of his company, he doesn’t want to mix business with pleasure. Unfortunately, sexy siren Shannon is more than Tristan can resist. Shannon pined after Tristan since she first started working for the company Trillo-Maris. Working directly for Tristan put her in a position where she could easily see herself submitting to her sexy boss.

To Shannon’s dismay, Tristan treats her with menacing growls and threatening scowls. She sets her fantasy aside and instead uses the company’s virtual reality software to live out her desires. Unbeknownst to her, Tristan is also using the software for his own personal porn movie with Shannon as the star. In a laptop mix-up, they spy upon each other’s dirty little secret spanking material and it pulls them into a whirlwind sex marathon.

This story pulls the reader into a naughty potential sexual harassment lawsuit. It’s okay because both Tristan and Shannon are gorgeous and their illicit sex is hot and smexy. Tristan is the typical male who’s dogmatic about his cardinal rule which ends up biting him in the ass. Shannon is the sweet romantic who is looking for the man of her dreams to share the rest of her life. The conflict in this story can be seen a mile away. Even so, it is no less painful to watch as Tristan commits a heartbreaking faux pas. It is good to see Shannon stick up for herself even when her heart tells her otherwise. Both characters are realistic and while they make decisions which makes the reader scream out, “NO! Don’t do it!” it is understandable.

The resolution is as expected with a little bit of eating crow followed with a happily ever after. Ms. York’s romantic heart shines through her story and it’s a lovely thing to view. Her imaginative virtual world showcases her mischievous side. One can only hope in her next installment, she really lets her freak out. Each book in this series is increasing is smoldering passion. This book is recommended to kinky romance lovers who enjoy watching a man change his mind to capture the woman of his dreams.(less)

And here I thought Adam was creative in the way he persued Kat. Oh no, Tristan took it to a whole new level. Wow!

Again, I loved this book. Where can I apply to work at this company? Ms. York, if you are reading this...please continue with this series. I almost wanted to pace myself because I didn't want to leave the world you created at Trillo-Maris.
