Tempted

De: Tiye Tiye

Narrado por: Dallas Riley, Julian Blackmon

Troubled hip–hop country star Freedom Cade once broke her heart when they were teenagers. He abandoned her on the night of their prom because of choices that landed him on the wrong side of the law. Disappointed because she believed he’d changed his hustling means of survival, she vowed never to love him again, though she carried his child.
Even created a family with his former best friend, who was there for her when Freedom chose superstardom.
For years, Jamaica Bennett put the past behind her and focused on loving her husband and family, convinced she and a baby would have only held Freedom back from his destiny.
Until a determined Freedom returns home for their class reunion, demanding to be a father to the son he swears he knew nothing about, and tempting Jamaica with what they once meant to each other and what they could be.
As Jamaica struggles to resist his allure and the blushing memories of first love, dark secrets from the past begin to tumble into the light, and vows become meant to be broken.

Narration 👎🏽

Both narrators read like they were bored and it made the story come across boring. The story itself was ok but I felt like the character development was inconsistent. The fmc did not deserve that man, she was way too presumptuous and judgemental. and nobody is turned on by somebody constantly correcting their grammar. I can't stand a person who claims to love somebody but always assumes the worse in and about them and she did him like that through 21 or 22 of this 23 chapter book. But she's loyal to the guy who she had a bad feeling about since high school, cheated on her the whole relationship, and wanted to use the rich baby daddy for money...? stfu!

Then the way the story started with Cody being a bad guy but made him cool people out the blue? Even if we dont hold against him that he was 17 when it all started or 20 when he got with her out of guilt, how we gonna act like his cheating and money hungry stuff that was happening 2 days ago didn't happen? And act like hes still a good friend for her to miss - made no sense. That whole relationship was built on lies and manipulation!

Idk I really wanted to like this book but...
