I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I didn't realize there was a book in this series already but regardless, this was a quick and hawt read that left me wanting more.

It took me a while to get in to this book, and in my honest opinion, I feel like it was very generic erotica, and I expected something different. Nonetheless, it was an ok read, but I would bare in my mind that it’s similar to most other novels, especially with the use of language!

This was such a steamy story! The romance was sweet and I loved the characters. There was so much drama to last a lifetime. I’m not a huge fan of the misunderstanding trope, but I think it was used well in this story. The writing was fun and descriptive, it made it easy to keep reading.
If you love erotica and you love drama and romance, you will definitely adore this book!

Way too much drama for me. I am not a fan of too much drama. Also a little too immature for my taste. Twins playing games.... too much

Good story, but with so much complications. I will preferred some more comedic scenes, but is ok. The twins confusionis a good line, maybe a funny one.

Well that was nothing like I expected. It took 3 opportunities to actually finish it. I really didn’t like either characters, and the constant circle of drama was just to much for me…

Italian God Brent Lovella , is an identical twin, whom despite their age still play games with others including women. He’s all sexy and built but he enjoys his women often but certainly not forever. Unit he meets wedding planner Danielle Comb.

Danielle is planning the wedding of Aurora and Bryce (the other twin). She is attracted to Brent on first sight and it’s not long until their relationship heats up then hits the first hurdle…. One of like 1000 in this story. Still after every drama they still ended up in bed….

Sadly not a win for me, and that’s hard to say when a book is gifted for review.

This book is all about steamy sex between a hot Italian and a wedding planner. The two had steamy shower sex within five minutes of meeting. Their entire relationship is just as passionate. There are a bit too many Italian cliches for me. The story needs a bit more backbone and storyline. But the book is erotica which means tons of sex and that delivers--almost every other page! If you are looking for steamy hot. This is it. The bet between the twins is never mentioned after the beginning--very odd to me.

I received an ARC from NetGalley. I was so happy to return to my favorite twins! I loved the story line just like the first one but I did miss a lot of the details of the storyline which were left out. Im sad there weren't any other siblings to read about LOL

Tempt Me was a good second in this duology and pretty much a flip side to the previous story, Taste Me. Twins brothers who like to bait and dare each other is the main premise to both these books, but the relationship that develops between Brent and Dani is packed with drama, and plenty of sex. While ample sex isn’t usually a problem for me, the fact that they used it a tool to avoid dealing with life, was an issue. I enjoyed the ending which helped increase my rating.

I liked the backstory in this book. I liked Danielle and Brent. I liked the different settings in the book. I didn't like all of the drama, it was revisited way too often. The chemistry between the main characters was intense.

Temptingly delicious! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tempt Me by Cali Caliente was hot!
The sexual tension between Dani and Brent was off the charts. But wow there relationship was full of Drama, with a capital D! They could not catch a break. Every time they would have discrepancies they would have sex... and not really ever talk about it. Very unrealistic for a head over heals lasting relationship.

I really enjoyed the ending! Most books just end but this book had a great closing! It made me love Dani and Brent’s story!

I received an free early copy for an honest review. My first read by author Cali Caliente.

I received a free advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Bryce is a handsome, successful identical twin who loves woman, just not long term. Danielle is a successful wedding planner who has been wrongfully treated by men in her past. When the two meet, sparks fly and the chemistry, and sex, is off the charts. However, they have many bumps along the road to happily ever after, each with reasons not to trust the other.

This book was a fast read and while enjoyable, I found it to be very choppy. I did not feel the chapters and "scenes" flowed from one to the next, and the characters were not as developed as I would like. At some points the story almost seemed rushed.

Cali is a new to me author. I enjoyed her book. Quick read , interesting plot. Hot Italians !! I liked the twins pretending to be each other joke.

*scroll to the bottom for content warnings*
Trope: fairly unclear- maybe best friend's partner's brother?
Cover rating: I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars, the man is attractive but not to my taste
Book description accuracy: accurate for a very top level overview of what goes on, but it did NOT prepare me in any way for what to expect
General review:
Oh, my goodness! Where do I begin... I hated this. I hated the H, wanted to slap the h, disliked how it seemed like I had to read another book (that releases at the same time as this one- how's that for silly?) to make sense of some of the story, wanted to put this on the DNF list at so many different moments but I committed to a review so... here we are! There are a LOT of sex scenes in this story and they're not even written well. It just made me think of the guidance counselor in "10 Things I Hate About You" (played by the wonderful Allison Janney) who keeps using the thesaurus to come up with different words to describe sex. "persistant nub"- ummm what?!? I won't even get into all the different words used for the H's penis. Getting back to the general story, it was choppy and lacked transitions- this was a title that went without professional editing and it shows. The entire concept of the h not knowing which twin she was with- even after having just had sex with him- was too much for me. At one point she actively admits she thinks it's the twin who is engaged to and has gotten her BEST FRIEND pregnant, but she gives him a blow job anyways. And then when the best friend walks in on them, h tearfully apologizes but then says she was just trying to take care of him after he got hurt... ... ... Yeah, that was the final kiss of death for this story for me. I just kept flipping and skimming from that point on to get through and give a comprehensive review. After that there's an other woman storyline (with a pregnancy claim) and an other man storyline. This is another moment I wanted to slap the h- stop letting another man kiss you! Consent is a real thing! This book was such a miss for me and was the 3rd title I've tried from Wild Rose Press- the lack of editing is just too much and I won't be reading any more from their authors unless I see other reviews I trust. I've added the other title in this series (Taste Me) to my "Don't Bother" list- even with editing this story would have been too far off for my taste.
Angst style: SO. MUCH. ANGST. Other woman, other man, which twin are we talking to again? This definitely classifies for too much angst in my opinion- it was like a roller coaster of angst, where they kept making up and then all of a sudden we have another peak and a DROP. It was exhausting to read.
POV: 3rd person, both H & h
Relationship stage reached: married
Epilogue? no
Content warnings: cheating
I recieved an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion. #TemptMe #NetGalley

Dani is a wedding planner who has the hots for Brent Lovella after seeing him at a function but he didn’t even notice she was there. The next time their paths crossed was more explosive but started off the whole misidentification confusion after his twin brother decides to get revenge for Brent’s past pranks. This is a real comedy of errors with them lurching from misunderstanding to another despite frequent trysts. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own
