Product Description
I had everything a woman could want…My husband, James. The house on the lake. My life. Our perfect life. And then Alex came to visit. The first time I saw my husband's best friend, I didn't like him. Didn't like how James changed when he was around, didn't like how his penetrating eyes followed me everywhere. But that didn't stop me from wanting him. And, surprisingly, James didn't seem to mind. It was meant to be fun. Something the three of us shared for those hot summer weeks Alex stayed with us. Nobody was supposed to fall in or out of love. I didn't need another man, not even one who oozed sex like honey and knew all the secrets I didn't know, the secrets my husband hadn't shared. After all, we had a perfect life. And I loved my husband. But I wasn't the only one.

 Warning! Have boxes of tissue nearby! **SPOILER ALERT** December 21, 2008

I chose to add my 2 cents because none of the other reviews I read warned about the not-so-happy ending. Don't get me wrong, I neither expect nor want a false positive from Megan Hart. Leave it to her to give us a most plausible story, even when it's heartbreaker. Had I known, though, I would have held off reading TEMPTED a couple more weeks so I could go right into her fourth novel. I'm assuming #4 will give us a resolution to not only Alex's broken heart, but show us what we have to take on faith about our lovely couple Anne and James. I'm heartened to see that Megan mentions Alex in her blog, so she's still writing about him; we just have to wait and see!
Megan Hart's writing capabilities continue to astound me with every new book. She has a way of wrapping the story around your heart without you even knowing it until the moment she chooses to squeeze. I cry with each one of her books, but never so much as with TEMPTED. After staying up until 4am to finish the book, I bawled and bawled myself to sleep. I awoke with the same heavy feeling, and cried some more. I know I will be sad for days until I know what happened to Alex.
Real. December 18, 2008

This novel is real, eloquent, and tasteful. It's not what you would expect at all, and that makes it completely beautiful. The characters are interesting, especially Alex. Alex may be the most desirable and captivating male character that I've read about in a while.
The ending is more "real" than "happy," and that may disappoint some of you that go into this with sunshiney expectations. However, in my opinion, if you really pay attention and catch the gist of the story you'll realize that it's better that way.
If you want a fairy tale, go watch The Little Mermaid. If you want a well-written, intelligent, interesting, deep, erotic, realistic novel, read Tempted.
