Club Temptation

Tempting Fate

Rate this book
Everything with Jade began at Club Temptation, so it makes sense fate would bring us back together here. She looks so incredibly beautiful it takes my breath. So insanely sexy. And from the look in her eyes…she still hates me.

I thought leaving Jade behind six years ago was my only option. I didn’t want to admit how much she meant to me, and I definitely didn’t want to face her brother, my best friend—the man who would have killed me if he found out I was sleeping with his little sister.

But leaving was the worst mistake I ever made.

Yet I’ve returned, and behind all the hatred she claims to have for me, I can see the same desire she had all those years ago. And I plan to use that to my advantage.

She has no idea what I have in store—the ways I plan to tempt her.

Oh, this is going to be fun.

5 Stars!

S.A. Clayton knows how to write them steamy, short and sweet but packing a serious punch to the heart and her addition to the new, irresistible Club Temptation series had all of that and some y'all. Jade and Gage's second chance romance (looooooved these two!!) in Tempting Fate heated me up, had me squirming in my seat, and left me with a big ol'smile on my face.

I am a huge, huge fan of the With Me in Seattle series so to see this spin off from Tied With Me (loooooved Matt!) was everything! It also makes me crazy excited to dive headfirst into the other books in the new Club Temptation novella series.

I highly recommend this book.

Once again I was sucked in for the very first page. Jade and Gage have so much chemistry it was too great to be ignored. It has taken them a few years since they've seen each other but the love they felt did not disappear but only got stronger no matter how much they both wanted it not to.

The second chance didn't felt rushed even though this was a short story. I wanted them and this to be a full length novel because I fell that this was not nearly enough for me.

With every book S.A. Clayton writes she keeps getting better and better and I'm so excited to see what she has in store for us next.

Jade has loved her brother’s best friend Gage since she was a teenager. Six years ago the chemistry between them ignited and a relationship ensued however rather than Gage telling her brother like she wanted he left town with no further contact.

Six years later Jade is back at Club Temptation when Gage comes back into her life. Will he be able to convince her to give him a second chance or if the pain of the past too much to overcome?

Jade and Gage have always shared an intense chemistry and connection and he is determined to prove to Jade that she is what truly matters in his life and everything else comes second.

Talk about fast and hot!!! PHEW!!!!

This is a story about second chances and best friends' little sister.

Part of the Club Temptation Collection, this novella is a quick steamy read about Gage and Jade. When they reunite, Gage is now working for the club. What happens next is a whirlwind of reuniting and reconnecting on all levels.

SA Clayton took a story that could been all about the sex and made it all about the love.

ARC received and I decided to leave an honest review.

4 star Review Tempting Fate (Club Temptation) by S A Clayton

Although this is a short book, S.A. Clayton has certainly packed a lot in to it. Tempting Fate is a second chance at love, extremely steamy and hot story about Jade and Gage.

These two have a complicated history. Six years ago Gage chose to leave Jade rather than have her brother, his best friend find out about the feelings he had for Jade. Now he has returned and Jade is not happy to see him.

Gage has always regretted leaving and now he back and determined to win Jade once and for all. The chemistry between these two is intense and despite the years is as strong as ever. Tempting Fate is a passionate, emotional story that had me invested from the first chapter to the last.

Both Gage and Jade were easy to relate to and I loved how they came to terms with the past and forgave and embarked on a new journey of discovery together.

Tempting Fate is a combination of second changes and best friends brothers little sister romances. This was a quick steamy read that you won’t want to put down. The character chemistry is amazing. A total must read!

Jade and Gage had a secret romance that turned into something more 6years ago. But 6 years ago Gage wasn’t ready to tell his bestfriend, who also happened to Jade’s older brother, that he was in love with his little sister. Instead of sticking around Gage ran.

Fast forward 6 yrs and in walks Gage. Jade is finally ready to move on and that’s blown right out of the water when she runs into Gage at Club Temptation.

What will happen after 6years have past?

Jade's dreams finally became reality when Gage noticed her as more than just his best friend's little sister. But Gage got cold feet and picked his friendship with Parker over his relationship with Jade. They run into each other again after six long years in the same place where it all started. Will they make it this time?

It's a quick and very steamy romance that packs quite a punch. Their pain and loss came through clearly on every page. It's all intense emotion from start to finish.

Thank you to the publisher and the author for giving me a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Jade had been in love with her brother's best friend, Gage, for years when they began a secret relationship. However, rather than admit to her brother how he felt about her, he ran. Now a second chance stares them in the face. IF the same problem that broke them the first time does not repeat itself. IF Gage can be the man Jade deserves. IF Jade can find it in her heart to let Gage back in.



I always love a good second chance romance, and S.A. Clayton has written a great one here. Jade and Gage's chemistry, their love was so obvious, and the pain that stood between them so intense. Although I haven't read all, or even many, of the other stories in the Club Temptation series, I have read a lot of the With Me in Seattle Universe and I love how well this one fits in with it.

Tempting Fate is deliciously HAWT!!!

TEMPTING FATE
is the latest instalment in the Club Temptation Collection and it is HAWT!! Having previously read other books from Ms. Clayton, I can see she has definitely stepped away from her usual comfort zone ... and she has successfully knocked it out of the ball park. Gage and Jade were divine.

Gage Masterson is back in town and back working where he met the only woman he could never forget ... his best friend's younger sister. Why is she there? Has she moved on? He hoped not. The moment Jade realises that Gage is there, watching her, she realises that even after six years he still affects her, noting the tingles running rampant throughout her body.

Ms. Clayton's taler is sensual, passionate and heated, yet it is also sweet and emotional, with an underlying love story that will pull at your heartstrings. I loved Gage, he was so masterful, controlling, but also tender and caring towards Jade. Jade was gorgeous, I loved her strength, her emotion and also her need and desire to please Gage in every possible way.

A wonderful short read.

Contains: Smutty scenes, dumb but lovable male love interest, and the falling-in-love-with-your-best-friend's-sibling trope.

Genre(s): Romance, Smut

Summery: A young woman finds herself in a sex club and locks eyes from across the room with a man who happens to be her brother's best friend. Forbidden fruit is too hard to resist. They end up doing what a sex club is renowned for... and then some. They inevitably fall in love (because, yes, this is a love story) but he gets spooked by the thought of going public and confessing his secret relationship to his best friend.

What I enjoyed: Not gunna lie, the concept drew me in. I'm a sucker for the falling-in-love-with-your-best-friend's-sibling trope. And the love interest being a dom in a sex club? I like my smut spicy like that.

What I didn't enjoy: The problem is it didn't deliver on the concept. The execution was fumbled. All that potential wasted on unimaginative writing. The conflict was actually a non-conflict and for that reason I wasn't rooting for the couple to "make it".

Official rating: 2.5

Reason for reading: TikTok made me read it

Sometimes you just need to read a bit of smut. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was lured into reading this by TikTok trailer so I'm not entirely surprised that I found it was just ok. Average. It scratched an itch, so to speak, but doesn't give me any enthusiasm to read more by this author.

The premise hooked me but the execution was fumbled. I found the motivations of the love interest to be so extreme. The man up and left his home, job, family, and friends without saying goodbye and joined the military for six years just to avoid telling his best friend he was in love with his sister. Then he returns, hell bent on making amends with the woman he left, only to recreate the same drama of leaving for no apparent reason??? Unimaginative writing.

Despite all that it wasn't so terrible. I've read far worse. 2.5 stars.

Going back to where it all began is harder than she thought it would be. Seeing the one that left her behind, the love of her life is more than she can bare. For Gage coming back to his home town and working where he started his love affair with his best friends sister is bitter sweet, seeing her is just painful.
True love can conquer all even time and distance and for Jade and Gage going back is not an option but moving forward is. The passion and heat that sparks when they are to gather can no be contained but was once passion has turned into so much more a love that is forever.
A quick read filled with heat.

I loved this quick read!!! Brother’s best friend trope with a second chance thrown in there!! It was perfect! I wanted something light and short between the darker romance series I’ve been reading lately, and this hit the spot! I will be working my way through the rest of S.A. Clayton’s books thanks to this beautifully written story!

Okay read

Second chance relationship that pretty much happens again instantly. Typically jade yells at him then succumbs to his Dom ways. Lots of angst and then falling quickly back into the relationship. Was just an okay read.

Ehhh

I really wish the angst would’ve lasted longer, Jade gave into him way too easily in my opinion and basically let Gage manipulate her when he didn’t get what he wanted. It was a good read but not something I’d read again.

Short and spicy
Where I’ve said ‘should have been longer’ of other short stories I’ve read… I didn’t with this one. Is it because it has a closure filled HEA? Um… no.
It was fine for a quick read, unique enough premis and characters, decent spice, but can’t rave about it and probs won’t read again.

Spice in this is so so so so so good! If you like doms and control this if for you! I wish there was more to the story but I mean it is a short story so you get what you get. If any of her other books contain this much spice sign me up!

Tempting Fate is a best friends sibling second chance erotic romance in the Club Temptation world.

After disappearing six years prior, Gage has returned home and the one person he regrets leaving behind is now standing in front of him and he wants his second chance.

Sexy, steamy, erotic and oh so tempting. I devoured this book so quickly. The tension between Gage and Jade was so thick that you almost thought they would not be able to move past their past. This was my first book from this author and will not be my last.

Don’t you just love a forbidden romance? It’s taboo, naughty and the fear of getting caught just heightens the moment making the scare even more fun. Well welcome to Club Temptation’s latest book, Tempting Fate by S. A. Clayton. Clayton steps out of her comfort zone a little with this hot as sin romance between a woman and her big brother’s best friend and a certain sex club named Club Temptation. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a sweet love story just with a few blindfolds and floggers thrown in. I loved the characters, especially Jade with her wild sense of adventure and her willingness to try “new things”. 5- stars for Tempting Fate by S. A. Clayton.

Tempting Fate by S.A. Clayton was a steamy short read packed with passion, romance, and angst. A Forbidden BDSM romance from old lovers that will make you fan and swoon!

Jade's and Gage's story is complicated. It is also very steamy, very passionate and very emotional. The path they set started to be a little wonky, but they found their way back to one another, and boy did it happen with a bang!

This novella packs a punch. Based on a BDSM relationship, it is intense and very passionate. Gage as a dominant is very hot, and there were a lot of steamy moments.

They're also not perfect. You're taken on an emotional journey through their eyes, and your heart cries for them, especially Jade. With Gage, sometimes I wanted to hug him, other times slap some sense into him.

Overall, I could not find any fault in this novella. It is a fun, emotional, steamy and sexy read, full of love and passion and will make you addicted to their story. I fell in love pretty quickly and felt sad that it ended too quickly.

If you're looking for a short, sexy and forbidden romance, then this the perfect read for you!

I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH!!!

Thank you S.A. for letting me read another one of your great books! S.A. Def knows how to write short stories that will have you hooked from the moment you pick it up to the moment you finish it.

OMG Jade and Gage are the perfect pair. Jade has no idea Gage is back, and Gage has no idea that Jade will be back where they met, and where they spent most of their time together as a couple.

Jade is against them getting back together, but will the pull of what they share reconnect them?
Gage can't stop thinking about her, and even after all the years separated, he never stopped thinking about her.

But will Jade's brother in get in the way, the reason why Gage left in the first place? Can they make it work this time? Can Jade give over to him again?

I do love S.A. books/stories so much. I do have to say that it started out a bit slower than normal from her other books I've read. So it took me a couple of chapters to get into it. But after that WOW!!!! Just like the other books I've read, HOLY WOW! Just amazing!!

The story flowed, and had the rollercoaster of emotions, and was amazing!
