Satisfaction follows on from where Temptation ended.
My intent for book two in the series was for Bryce to show Alexis—in that one week they had with one another—that they were meant to be together. He was desperate to show her his softer side, a side that she could see herself having a future with. That he wasn't just a billionaire who could have anything he wants.
He needed to prove what they shared was real and not fantasy, and that the life she was living wasn't what it seemed.

This series just keeps getting better and better.
This book picked up from where the last stopped and thank god. I needed to know how things were goin to work out after the way things had gone down for Alexis. She had to deal with so much in this book. My heart out to her. She is such a strong woman she kept her head up and never let her children now what was goin on. I think this book showed how strong Alexis is she dealt with Rick, Bryce and there was something brewing with Gareth to after learning more about him I m a lil scared. But I know she will deal with him hopefully.
Bryce again in this book was amazing. He's so sexy cocky and alway gets what he wants. I did see a different side to him in this. His is a strong alpha and will do anything to protect Alexis. But when it comes to her he is so soft and gentle and will literally do a anything to make her happy. These 2 are super sexy together there sexual chemistry is just of the hook. They can't keep there hands or mouths of each other.
I luvd this book. It's so good the story just keeps getting better and better. I luv Bryce and Alexis characters they are so meant to be together. There are actually a few characters in this book that make my blood boil and Rick is one of them. He is such a whiney lying arse. Alexis children Nate and Charlotte are brilliant I really enjoy them throughout this book.
I would highly recommend this book and the series so far. I m dying for more of this series there is just so much more to find out. After the shocker in the last chapter and the epilogue I can't wait for more of this series.

So, for me, Satisfaction didn't fare any better than the first book did. Actually, it's worse. I almost didn't finish last night. I actually stopped around the 60% mark, and started reading another book. I also almost threw my Kindle. I even skimmed the last bit instead of actually reading each word. I just... couldn't. Good signs all around. Let me break this down, shall I?
But again... I don't care. I'm done with this series.

3 1/2 stars
It all starts with a BANG <- Pun intended.
Alexis and Bryce have been given their week. They are utilizing every minute of it.
Like teenagers or honeymooners they can’t keep their hands of each other.
Bryce evens takes her to Uluru for a few days on a romantic getaway.
However when they get back home its back to reality.
Rick slept with someone else and didn’t tell her for 5 years.
He has given her the week as promised. But now it is time to talk.
When she returns home, she does not want to speak to Rick and avoids him.
He has enough and confronts her.. and Bryce.. in Bryce’s office…
Things get heated and well.. bombs are dropped!
Fair to say that Alexis takes off and leaves them both.
She can’t deal with liars and needs some time on her own.
She takes the kids to her parent’s house in Country Victoria.
Only problem?
Bryce and Rick follow.
She comes up with the brilliant plan/idea to date both men.
May the best man win.
Who will that be though?
What other secrets are being withheld?
How are the kids doing in all this?
You’ll have to read to find out…
MY OPINION
GOOD LORD My emotions, MY FEELS, my head, my body… were everywhere!
Rick made me – Sad- Hateful - Heartbroken – hopeful- sad- pissed off – vengeful – HATE – numb –
Same goes for Bryce. I LOOOVVVE HIM.
He was so happy which made me happy, then when he hurt I hurt.
Then he was hopeful making me hopeful and cheering him on.
God when he decorated the kids rooms?! I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM EVEN MORE! – Even though it was the Bombers! And not the Mighty Pies! = P .. Sorry Aussie football thing
I loved him all the way through though. And when he played the guitar?! SWOON
Alexis – God I wanted to punch her so much.
I understand she was stuck in the middle. First she was happily married, then she found out her husband cheated on her, she ran to the arms of another man, then found out her husband didn’t cheat on her, she was still in the other guys arms and then bounced between the 2 guys.
It was so frustrating being in her head at times.
But I LOVED being all 3 of their heads. 3 different POV’s on the same situation. The inner thoughts. The reasons behind the secret grins.
And finding out how Bryce knows all his creepy stalker stuff about Alexis made me smile.
The kids were SUPER cute in this as well. They did play a big part towards the end of the book.
The ending was left really well.
No omg I can’t believe she left it like that! Moment.
But enough to make me want the next as soon as it’s released.

I wanted to bad to like this book. I loved Temptation and anxiously waited for Satisfaction. It really lacked for me. Let me point out, I'm not one to not love a book. There has only been one book out of hundreds I have not been able to finish and only a handful that I will not recommend.
First, it was too much sex. Now don't get me wrong, I love books with romance and sex but to me it seemed like it never varied. I like different sex scenes and I felt like it was too predictable.
Second, I felt like I was reading the point-of-view of a 13 year old girl! The things Alexis said to herself seemed childish to me at times. I didn't feel like I was reading about the 30+ year old mother that I read about in Temptation.
Third, it dragged on and on and on! About 20% into the book I couldn't take it and had to take a break from it. A few days later I started again. And it still couldn't hold my interest. I trudged through and it finally picked up for me about 70% through!
I wish I could have enjoyed Satisfaction as much as I did Temptation.

I really enjoyed the first book, but thought this second one was a bit annoying. Anyone else get so tired of Bryce saying "Hunny" and "my love" at the end of every sentence? I did appreciate the nuances of Garreth adding a new dimension and plot line involving Claire was interesting, it just lacked some details to truly suck me into the whole novel. Hoping the third will bring back some of the style I liked from the first novel.

Spoiler free
This is the second installment in the Temptation series.
I am not going to go into to much info during this review. I feel if I do then I would giveaway to much and it will ruin the first book for you.
I love this series so much. I can not wait till the 3rd one. This one will keep you on the edge just as the first one. I was going crazy with all the new information I was given. I need the 3rd book in my hands now!!!!
I received a copy of this book from the Author exchange for honest review.

Where in the heck have I been in the past year? Jeepers. I had never heard of this series until just a few days ago and let me tell you it’s Amazing and I can’t get enough of it.
Satisfaction is the second book in the series so this review will contain some spoilers form book one.
This book picks up where Temptation ends. Bryce and Alexis spend a week together (that takes place for like the first thirty percent of the book). It’s such an amazing week and if you weren’t in love with Bryce Clark before then you surely will be by the end of their time together.
He kissed me softly and then cupped my face. “It’s going to be all right. I promise. We were meant to be together, and that’s all that matters in the end.”
I wanted to believe him, more than anything, but it’s never ‘all that matters in the end’. It’s never that simple.
~He is sweet and romantic~
~He so good with her kids~
~He is a sexy smirking, panty melting Billionaire CEO~
~He worships Alexis…whole heartedly body and soul~
Bryce is so completely in love with Alexis it literally makes you gush when you read it. He is so romantic that it takes your breath away. Alexis is in heaven. She doesn’t want their week to end. She doesn’t want to go back and face the reality that is her life. The only bright spot in it is her children. But she is worried about how her decisions are going to affect them.
She knows she has to go and face Rick about everything but she is terrified. She is in love with Bryce but she also loves Rick and is not sure how to let a twelve year marriage go especially when there are children involved.
The “big secret” gets revealed soon after their week is over and Alexis feels betrayed by both men. She feels sick and disgusted that two men that she loves (and who supposedly love her) could treat her the way they did. She feels cheap and used. Her heart is broken and she realizes she can’t be with either one of them (at least for now). So Alexis takes off to her parent’s house to spend the week with her children and try to figure things out. She has an amazing support system in her family and friends and they are there for her every step of the way.
After a week of peace, she has a bit of clarity. She decides she doesn’t need to be committed to either of them. So she decides she is single. Hahaha. Yeah laugh…that’s exactly what Bryce does when she decides to fill him in on that little piece of information. Bryce knows they are meant to be together and deep down Alexis knows that too. But she has decided to let the past go and try to see if there is something left of her marriage. She is not committing to either of them but she is giving each of them a chance. Both men respect her choice but that is not stopping either of them from pulling out all the stops to get the woman they love.
“So, did you enjoy your week of fucking my wife?”
“Yes, Rick, I did and we did a lot of it. Obviously you are not adequate in that area.”
Rick. Ugh. I feel like a fool for feeling sorry for him in the first book. I mean he seemed like the perfect husband and dad but he was harboring his own secrets. Then he lies…and then tells the truth…and then lies again… Poor Alexis is just frustrated and can’t wrap her mind around what has become of her life.
This book is filled with drama and twists and turns that will leave you craving for more. You see a lot more of Alexis’ children in this book and I have to say that I just love them. They are so cute and just melt your heart. I loved their relationship with Bryce especially the relationship with Nate and Bryce.
This book ends in a huge cliffhanger. Thank goodness the third book is out otherwise would be driving myself insane. I am so anxious to read Fulfillment. You just know it’s going to be filled with just as many tear filled tender moments as it is with heart stopping drama filled moments.

Wow this series just gets better and better, this book blew me away !!!!!
I often worry about reading a series as I often feel that it can be hard to live up to the first book, especially if that was a hit, but no need to worry this book was better!
As a reader we get to really know who Bryce and Alexis really are as the face many challengers that lie ahead of them, and as Alexis says she learns to hurdle really well.
What I really enjoyed about this book is that the story line is very real, yes Bryce is a billionaire and money is no object, but take away the money and the story is basically you cant help who you fall in love with.
Alexis and Bryce couldn't help it,they couldn't stop it, their love was inevitable,they just have to find away to live with it and the people around them too. How will they whirlwind love affair affect those closest to them? This story takes many twist and turns some are very unexpected!!!!
Some parts of the story are told from Bryce and Ricks POV (or Brick as Alexis nicknames them) which are extremely insightful. There was a small part in the story where the love triangle started to annoyed me a little, as with all love triangles there is bound to be a little bit of blowing hot and cold, fortunately this didn't last to long.
I really liked the character development of Alexis in this book she became independent strong minded, strong willed and even more sassy, she became a woman who knew what she wanted and how to get it and I wanted to be her !!!!
This book very playful, it shows the playful sides of both characters as they lay down challengers for each other from hide and seek to Mario karting. These scenes are very funny and I read with a huge smile on my face. KM Golland is able to mix this playfulness, serious relationship issues and a hot steamy read all in one, I absolutely loved this book.
By the end of the prologue( Bryce's POV ) I was completely in love with this man, there will never be another book boyfriend for me Bryce Clark is it !!!!!!
How can you not be impressed with a man who is incredibly good looking, has a hot body, mind blowing bedroom antics,can play the guitar and cook !
The epilogue sets up the next book nicely with a hint of a threat to come !
I cant wait to start Fulfillment its going to be one hell of a book !!

Ahhh!!! KM Golland has done it again with the second novel in the Temptation series! I devoured this book. It is so well written and the story line is amazing!
Alexis Summers is single again. After realizing she was in love with her boss, she learns that both him and her husband have deceived her. Hurting and confused, she travels to her mother’s house to spend time with her children while figuring out what she is going to do.
“Because your heart houses the love you possess, and when you open your heart and release that love, you render it fragile and exposed to breaking. Alexis, your heart is strong and not as fragile as you think. Why? Because it heals, Darling. It will heal if you let it.”
These wise words from her mother help Alexis realize that she can’t keep pondering over whether or not to choose Bryce or Rick. It’s not just her this decision affects, she has two children two.
Rick has a confession for Alexis that changes everything. When Alexis discovers that this secret has more to it that even Rick knows, she realizes the gravity of his decision from five years ago.
KM Golland, you are amazing. Really. This novel has a serious subject, but she throws in quite a bit of humor. I often found myself laughing out loud while reading.
“Bryce Edward Clark, small talk, really? I am not only going to stomp on your other foot now, I am going to bite down on your tasty hot dog like I would if it were slapped in between two pieces of bread and covered in mustard and sauce.”
Interested in why she had that thought? You need to read and find out! That is just some of KM’s hilarious writing.
I give this novel five stars, just like the first one. Recommended for all avid romance novel readers, but make sure you read the first one first, Temptation.
KM has a fabulous style of writing. She can be funny while being serious at the same time. The characters are wonderful, very dynamic.
I love the relationship between Bryce and Alexis. They are wonderful together. He will do anything for her and her children. Her happiness is first on his list. Together, they are absolutely hilarious. I love that about them. Brylexis, I just smiled so hard.
Rick and Alexis also have a wonderful relationship. I could not stop smiling at the date he and the kids helped with. It was so sweet! It amazes me that they have a special love for each other, one that will always be there, no matter what happens.
KM Golland, I am in love with your writing! I am so hoping to have a signed copy of Temptation in my hands soon. I hope you sell them. ;)
Seriously, check this series out! I was recommended this series by so many different people that I just had to check it out. I was not disappointed at all! It is just simply amazing. You go, girl!

Stimulating, sultry, emotional, complex...all but true!, March 25, 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase
This review is from: Satisfaction (The Temptation Series #2) (Kindle Edition)
Sensational! for lack of better words. All I can say is read this book but first you must read Temptation (the 1st book ) to grasp and get a better understanding why all the main characters are what they seem to be. It's pivotal to the story, it will make you keep an open mind and more accepting of what circumstances brought Alexis, Bryce and Rick as to why and where they are. This story is all what you would want in a book, its got it all...intrigue, suspense, infidelity, uncertainties, tears and laughs, true love and the hottest sex scenes with no crude words but stimulating as hell, oh yeah! The third book couldn't come soon enough and I await with great anticipation.

I'm on chapter 9 and so far the only thing these two have done is go on a vacation and play wii . I don't need to know every detail of Mario karts and how these 2 play , it's really boring and that's a shame because the first one was so good.
The whole thing with RJ felt like a way for Alexis and Bryce to be together, when Rick said he didn't sleep with Claire he just said he did so Alexis could get her week with Bryce and then after admit that in fact he did sleep with her was just a way to create unnecessary drama .
The whole dating thing was just childish , Alexis was leading Rick on because she knew from the start that she really wanted Bryce .
Gareth/Scott really ?!
Really disappointing .

Sometimes you can't fight fate and what's meant to be will be! I'm in total amazement of Bryce and Alexis' story! It feels so real and sincere and it completely tapped into EVERY emotion I had in me.
I felt the moral struggles of both characters and although I don't condone cheating, I found myself rooting for them.
Reading the series was like eating Pringles: "Once your start, you can't stop!"
In addition, the author, KM Golland is one of the most down to earth authors out there - always willing and able to connect and communicate w/ her fans. I absolutely can't wait to see more of her work!

OMG!!! This book was so crazy! There were so many twist and turns in the book...some I liked and some I didn't like. This book leads off from the last book. Alexis and Bryce have spent the week together and it was magical for the both of them. However, Alexis fears Bryce is hiding something but she just doesn't know what it is. Then, Rick shows up and informs Alexis about the 5 million dollar deal that Bryce had offered him and Alexis soon leaves brokenhearted. She now has to decide between the Rick, the man who betrayed her but she promised to be loyal to, or Bryce, the man who's love has completely changed her.
The majority of the book was how Bryce and Alexis spent that week together and all in all, I really liked how they had spent that week together. It was so sweet and romantic. It just showed me Alexis that she belongs with Bryce. I'm happy she realized that in the end. I really enjoyed reading about Alexis and Bryce discovering how deep their love went for each other. I just wish the love scenes were a little bit better. In Temptation, they were so sexy and steamy. However, although there were more sex scenes in Satisfaction, I thought they were too short and rushed. I just wished that they were laid out a little better.
But even in Satisfaction, I am still in love with Bryce. I understood why he did what he did because he knew that was the only way he could have his chance to prove to Alexis that he loves her. Who wouldn't do the same if you were in his position? Rick on the other hand, I hated him even more in this book. First off, he sold his wife for money because he was money hungry. Sure, he said he was doing it for the family, but you could tell that he just did it for himself. He also lied over and over again to whether or not he had an affair. I mean come on, he did the honest this by telling Alexis he had an affair but he then lied by saying he actually didn't have an affair (even though he did) so he could try to get Alexis back? What kind of man is that??? I have no respect for Rick because he's an idiot and a liar. He does not deserve Alexis.
Another issue I did have was with Gareth. I don't know, but for some reason it just felt like his story line was just an add on. To me, Gareth having multiple personality disorder was kind of a stretch to the plot. I mean I think the story line would have been better if Gareth just was a sleazy guy who wanted to take over the company. I think it just would have made more sense and added a better dynamic. I do have to admit it really was a plot that surprised me. I never expected it coming and I'm usually good at predicting how stories will end. I also do like that we get another book because of this plot line.
I really can't wait to read Fulfillment. I hope it comes out sooner than later. I want to read more of how Bryce and Alexis will spend their lives together. They deserve to have a happily ever after. I am excited to see how their ending unfolds.

Satisfaction is the second book in the Temptation series and pick up right where Temptation left off. I have been dying for this book ever since I picked up Temptation and was left wanting more because this story is like no other. Imagine what if your secret fantasies came true and you were able to play it out the way you want. Well this is the series is for you. Alexis represent us the modern woman who has it all, job, family and loving husband until Bryce walked into her life and changes it upside down.
He whisked away Alexis and offered her everything and they were in a honeymoon period with no distractions in Temptation. But this series is about real life mixed with fantasy and it must come crash down at some point right. Well the author thought about it and this book Satisfaction is the answer to what happens after the honeymoon period when you realised everything that happened is not black and white and there is more to the story.
There is a grey area and this book explores this. How it doesn’t affect just the two of them but Alexis ‘s whole world and how it changing her life for better or is worse ? You will be surprised with this book as it suppresses what I was thinking what will happen and more.
This is one of my most anticipated releases for July and the author didn’t disappoint. I wished I picked them up before they were taken off prior to be re-released but the wait make me enjoy this book so much more. Each page I devour it waiting for the next twist or turn to surprise me. I want to say a lot about this book but I think you need to savour this book yourself and this series. This series is a unique one and it works because the author has written such this book such a way that makes you want to believe this story despite how much is a woman’s fantasy.
Bring on the next book, I hope it will deliver as the previous two books have before. Who knows what is next for Bryce and Alexis after this book. I thought I couldn’t fall in love with this series any more but I have. 6 couples to this book and this one of my all time favourite this year for its uniqueness, you need to check this book out if you haven’t already.

Rating: 5 Stars
This is the second instalment in the Temptation Series and had some serious twists and turns. This book continues the story of Bryce and Alexis and the challenges they face with their all consuming love.
Wow, once again I was unsure how I was reacting to the whole five million dollar pay off and unfaithfulness in a marriage concept but quickly the writer made me see that there were faults on all sides of this little triangle. I felt a bit for the kids in this mess.
There were hot and sexy moments in this book, lots of them and Alexis still has her witty ways about her which makes it for me.
Most of this book was about their week away together. Bryce was very romantic and totally swoon worthy for the entire time. I found the book lingered a little at times which was my only real criticism.
I cannot wait for the third book in this series and I will be one clicking it as soon as its available. Well done Ms Golland on another book well written, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

OMG!!!! I loved this book. As I was reading it I enjoyed all of the sex scenes. I had read a review that stated that there was too much sex in this book and I didn't understand how there could ever be to much sex and still don't but we each have a right to our own opinion. I just feel that the sex in this book is compared to the sex in Pretty Woman meaning that it was only in the places that helped to enhance the story.
This story picks up right where the first one left off and being a single mother myself I really liked to see how the author incorporated the children in to the relationship. It felt genuine to me as a parent. I really could relate to this story and I felt that it would have made an amazing completion to the story if that is where she wanted to leave it but I am so happy to see that the third book will be giving us Gareth's POV.
This is a must read for all those out there that have ever wondered if it possible to have true love.

We are disgusted when the husband leaves the wife for another woman. Especially if they don’t even try. This bitch doesn’t try. She was already cheating before she found out the truth. This is a horrible heroine. Just no.
January 30, 2014
Read in just one day as I did with the first. Can't wait for the third. Excellent read. Highly recommend. One of my favorite series as a whole. Just adore Alexis and Bryce's story. Only 4 stars due to editing mistakes.
Noteworthy quotes from the book:
Bryce to Alexis:
"What is so special about you? Oh, Hunny, you have no fucking idea what you do to me. I can't get you out of my head. I think about you 24/7. The way you look, the way you smell, your confidence in everything that you do. I love how you read between the lines and the way you challenge me. I love your innocence, your kindness, your nurturing ways and your jealousy. When I'm with you I feel alive, like you are the missing part of me. And when I'm not with you I can't stand it, I literally feel lost. It is fucking unbearable."
Alexis to Bryce:
"What I feel deep in here when I am with you is like nothing I have ever experienced before. You control the tempo of my heart. You make it beat like crazy when you read me with your eyes. You make it beat like crazy with your selfless gestures. You make it beat like crazy when you make love to me..."His hand twitched ever so lightly on my chest. "You make it beat like crazy every time your lips touch mine. You just make it beat like fucking crazy full stop."
Take a good long, hard look in that mirror. What do you see? I did just that, and a calmness washed over me, removing any doubt or confusion I'd had moments ago.
We belonged to each other, and I had to start allowing myself to believe it.
Bryce to Alexis.
"Alexis, sometimes it's wise not to dwell on the incomprehensible, for if you do, you waste those precious moments of actually accepting it for what it is."
Bryce to Rick.
"What Alexis and I have is unbreakable. Yes, she is shocked, hurt and angry, but when she has had time to come to terms with everything we will be together once and for all. I'm sorry that this had happened to your family as a whole, really I am, but I'm not sorry I have fallen in love with her and her in love with me. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I'm not about to let her go."
Dad chose not to meddle and not to ask for detailed information, he was content with the fact he had raised strong and capable daughters with level heads on their shoulders, daughters who could handle their problems themselves. He was however, always there, ready, willing and able, if ever we felt we needed him.
Alexis' mum to her.
"Because you heart houses the love you possess, and when you open your heart and release that love, you render it fragile and exposed to breaking. Alexis, you heart is strong and not as fragile as you think. Why? Because it heals darling, it will heal if you let it. Please let it heal, okay?"
She just reiterated that time and space, were my best friends. Until they became annoying bitches, and of course in that case, piss them off and find some new ones. Preferably 'alcohol and dancing', now they were friends who could show you a great time.
Karma was a malicious bitch who always had the last laugh.
I was also grateful; grateful and thankful for my family and friends. I loved them all dearly, and was blessed to have them in my life. At the end of the day, there was always somebody far worse off than you, and what you feel to be like the end of the world, was probably only trivial to them.
"You need to ask why?"
"Well, no, but I want you to say why you think you are confused out loud. Sometimes saying it out loud can help clarify it."
Life is too short to worry about things that are out of your hands.
Do not dwell on the negative or the unknown, it's foolish.
"I promise you I will never hurt you, never keep anything from you. I promise you I will do everything in my power to make you the happiest woman alive, because you make me the happiest man alive."
Life hands out challenges that we all unwillingly accept. We have no choice in the acceptance really because that is essentially what life is; a series of unavoidable challenges thrown our way, and how we assess them, deal with them, and progress through them, shapes our life to be what it will be. Some of us assess challenges in different ways, either seeing them as a hurdle that one can easily jump over, or as a brick wall that seems impossible to climb.

Alexis Summers is no stranger to facing challenges, as she has had her fair share of them since meeting and subsequently falling in love with Bryce. He was her new employer who had dominantly pursued her while she was happily married. But, it wasn't until her husband Rick, had confessed to previously having an affair, that Alexis finally allowed herself to give in to the temptation, that was Bryce Edward Clark.
In Satisfaction—Alexis and Bryce spend the most amazing week together, and discover the connection and love they share with one another, goes far deeper than anything they have ever experienced. What Alexis doesn't know, is the truth behind her husband’s confession, and the underhanded deal Bryce made with him behind her back. Alexis’ world will come crashing down around her when she discovers their secret, and she will once again find herself faced with having to overcome more of life’s challenges.
I thought that Temptation couldn't get any better but what follows in Satisfaction is just breathtakingly amazing.
Bryce Clark appears to be a very desirable man that many women would love a chance to be with but this handsome billionaire has eyes only for Alexis Summers, and a week to prove just how much he loves her. The amount of romantic gestures that this guy goes to while attempting to woo his lady speak more of thoughtfulness than money, though having the money to make those thoughtful romantic gestures certainly helps a bit!
Alexis Summers seemingly has the perfect life. A loving husband, two beautiful children, and a circle of close friends that know the definition of having fun. She also has the perfect job as PA to Mr. Clark. I'm pretty sure that PA really stands for Proximity Alert because Alexis' libido spikes whenever Bryce is near.
As a lover of romance novels and erotic literature, I can truly say that Satisfaction is up there in my favourites along with Temptation. It's well written, tasteful, and the plot twists that keep being revealed along the way are surprising. I'm looking forward to finding out if Bryce and Alexis get their happily ever after, or if Alexis will return to her waiting husband.

There are some adorably romantic and tender moments in this book. Bryce Clark is courting Alexis Summer to prove that the two of them are meant to be. Bryce is a wonderful character who is thoughtful and passionate with his gifts and surprises for Alexis.
The story is filled with beautiful and touching scenes. I love the scene where Alexis and Carly spend the night in her room and talk all night. It’s a beautiful moment where Carly is there for her friend. The moment where Bryce talks about his mother’s words of wisdom, how life is too short to worry about things that are out of our control. So beautiful and touching. Golland includes some humorous moments too like when Alexis gets caught skinny-dipping by Mr. Wayne, or when Alexis is under Bryce’s desk. Carly is a riot! I love how Alexis pranks Carly with lipstick.
There are some very hot and steamy scenes that occur between Bryce and Alexis, like the two of them playing Mario, on the roof of the Lamborghini, or the night at the club. But it isn’t smooth sailing for the pair. When the revelations start flying, you can’t help but feel for Alexis. The pain, anger, and sorrow she feels breaks your heart and in several places my eyes were watering. As the secrets are revealed, you can’t help but ask, how much more can this woman take before she breaks? And in places she does but this is what makes her a strong woman. She is human and anyone would crack under the strain. Sometimes you want to ask, why Golland, why are you doing this to her?!? But this makes me admire Alexis all the more because of the struggles she goes through and how she handles herself. She has such grace and poise. Even though she is hurting from the betrayals, she still tries to do what is right.
I love the Aussie references that make me say, ‘I know that!’ And the inter-textual references are brilliant! What is so beautiful and fantastic is how Golland portrays the family and friend dynamics. Alexis’ family and friends are there for her when she needs them most, and their closeness and support is heartwarming. A roller coaster ride, with highs and lows but well worth the trip as it is a beautiful story. And Golland leave us with one last surprise and one cliffhanging bombshell that compels us to read more! So who would resist? ;)

Having really enjoyed Temptation I was interested to see where this book would take Alexis and Bryce. I didn't enjoy the beginning as much and I think that may be because I enjoy the sexual tension, the will they, won't they get together more. It reminds me of Moonlighting, I loved it when Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd bounced off each other with innuendo each week, but once they got together it lost it's edge and appeal.
That said, I soon regained my interest in the book. Alexis finds out her husband accepted money for her, it's a huge betrayal, that said, she's going to hear a lot worse through the course of this book. She has to decide who she wants to be with, it's more complicated because of the children, and I'm pleased to see that she never loses sight of that.
It's a very different book to book one because the chase is over, now it's about winning Alexis, although from my point of view she only had one choice she should make. She did come up with an interesting solution before making her mind up though.
For a lot of this book Alexis is in need of bulk supplies of Kleenex bless her, but there are some romantic moments, some speed moments and some creepy moments,
I'm happy with the way the book ended but not that it ended if that makes sense, I want to know what happens next! The epilogue leaves you convinced that book three is going to be full of intrigue and action, and the previous chapter assures you that life is going to get interesting for everyone.
That said, I soon regained my interest in the book. Alexis finds out her husband accepted money for her, it's a huge betrayal, that said, she's going to hear a lot worse through the course of this book. She has to decide who she wants to be with, it's more complicated because of the children, and I'm pleased to see that she never loses sight of that.
