Erotica, But More
*****
I didn't expect a whole lot from this novel, and started it with some trepidation, as it was the first erotic novel I've ever read. I was pleasantly surprised at its complexity and depth and power to make me think, perhaps even more than its obvious entertainment value.
This is the story told in the voice of Anne, a wife and daughter, someone ostensibly very happy with her life. To her surprise, life's circumstances lead her into changing complicated sexual relationships with her husband and her husband's best friend.
It's the sort of story that answers the question "how could someone ever be involved in something like THAT"---a "threesome"? After reading "
Tempted
" you can understand, you can see and even empathize (or at least I did) with how such an unusual sexual and even more so---emotional---relationship could happen.
There are many strong subplots, including family issues such as how we regard our parents as adults, how we learn to stand up for ourselves and ask for what we want, and probably most central---how we decide when to leave a relationship and when we stay. These subplots are played out not just in Anne's life, but in the lives of her sisters, her parents, and her in-laws.
"Tempted" has mystery, plot twists, great anticipation, and vivid descriptions. I gave it five stars because I think that the author did everything she could with the medium---writing a high-quality, provocative, thrilling erotic novel that appeals on many different levels.
Highly recommended, if you are looking for an erotic novel. Note that the language describing sexual activity is very explicit.

From J. Kaye's Book Blog
Having come off of reading the short erotic novellas, this book seemed to be a bit show. It wasn't until I realized she'd put more dimensions into her characters and plot that I started relaxing, enjoying the read. So no dry spots in this book. The author needed to do what she did to have the impact at the end. Loved it and will read more from this author.
