Raw Emotional Read!
Bailey is looking to turnover her life and start fresh. She has demons she’s trying to control and stay focus on getting better.Drew is living the days focusing on his business and helping others. He has a crutch ever since he lost someone close to him.The book is full of raw emotional situations, the attraction between Bailey and Drew is strong. A second chance romance that shows you communication is key in every relationship and running away from situations just makes things worst. I miss Ava's writing and for some reason I found there was something missing in this story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved, Loved, this was a Fascinating Story
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2022

I really loved this story. It was well written as only Ava Harrison can do. The story is of this billionaire who comes from a wealthy family the Lawson's. Drew Lawson was the owner of a upscale club that everyone loves to come to. Then there is Bailey Jameson, gorgeous, girl next door locks, beautiful although she does not seem to know it. Bailey is a recovering addict who needed a job, so her sister, Harper, who is a District attorney, her boyfriend asks Drew to give her a job because he didn't want her moving in with him and her sister. Bailey definitely should not be in an environment where there is drinking and sometimes other things because she has an addictive personality. There were so many colorful characters which you expect but really not. I loved Bailey and Drew's story and would highly recommend this book. I just love the way Ava weaves a good love story. It is a good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars chemistry is positively fire
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021

Bailey's desperate - she needs a job so she won't be homeless. She's a sober addict, though, so not just any job is healthy for her. Too bad the job she's hooked up with is at a club. Yep. But, beggars cannot be choosers, and she's desperate like I said.

When she sees the most gorgeous man she's ever laid eyes on at the club and finds he's Drew, her new boss, she's rattled. She's not looking for a man or a relationship, especially with her boss. But the two cannot seem to keep themselves away. Will her past and his demons keep them from finding happiness together?

I wasn't expecting Tempted to be quite so emotional. I should have considering Bailey's a sober addict, but I guess I wasn't expecting Drew's demons, too, the combination was heavy at times. But I loved the two together, and I especially loved Bailey. She's strong, she's tough, and she's a sweetheart. She weathered a lot - loss, addiction, about to be homeless, to name a few. But through it all, she persevered and came out on the other side even stronger for everything. Drew was not my favorite guy at first, I will admit, but he completely redeemed himself well before the end. I think my favorite part about him, aside from his serious hotness, was how much he loved Bailey. Their chemistry is positively fire and I loved reading their journey.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good not Great
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2021

This book was good in that it was a full length novel with no cliff hangers. The romance between Bailey and Drew was sweet and a bit sad. The love scenes were subpar at best although the author kept reiterating that the sex was good. Its the difference between saying something felt good and describing something so hot and the characters reactions in a way that shows its good. Too many times did Drew make stupid mistakes such as continuing to employ Monica, and not foreseeing trouble when he withheld the truth. Bailey seems dumb and too many times I wanted to slap her. She repeatedly runs from her feelings and problems, then puts herself in dangerous situations, and wants to lay the blame on others. All in all good read not great and I probably won't be looking to read another book by this author.

Awe the ups and down dramatics between Drew and Bailey is endearingly remarkable! Don't feel the Off-the-Chart sensual, sexy, romance love between the two. But, they both share demons they have to overcome. Drew is beyond supportive to Bailey, a recovering drug addict. Because of this women especially , Monica, a devious, woman, who plans to steal Drew at any cost, by destroying Bailey😱 Love can concur all🤗 Action feel drama!!!! With the love of your life, Drew, family and friends to save the day🤗 Did I mention Reese, who plans and does hurt Drew by way of Bailey plus other things and ways😵

Such a heartfelt, sexual, romantic love story. I couldn't put my Kindle down!!!🤗😍😊

4.0 out of 5 stars Life Is A Struggle
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2021

Life is a struggle. For some more so. A story of overcoming addiction and finding unconditional love.

Bailey turned to drugs and alcohol to mask her pain of feeling unloved and the loss of her father. She’s gotten her life back on track, but she needs a job desperately.

Her sister’s fiance hooks her up with a waitressing job at the hottest club in NYC. Not an ideal job for an addict in recovery, but she’s desperate.

Drew Lawson is the club’s owner. She never expected to feel an instant draw to her new boss. Her life is complicated enough, but Drew feels it too. He’s not going to make it easy for her to resist.

Banging the boss is never a good idea, but it’s going to unleash a whole slew of obstacles.

Drew is hard working but private. You’ll learn more from his actions than his words. He’s got his own baggage weighing him down and too many secrets that he’s keeping so that Bailey doesn’t run the other way.

Bailey struggles. She wants to be healthy and move on from her past, but she fights her demons daily. She is strong, yet she let’s her poor self image and always believing the worst, to lead her down a dangerous path. I wanted to see her grow a little more and make more mature decisions. She continued to follow the same routine eveytime something went wrong.

The story is full of emotional turmoil and drama. An addict doing her best to start fresh, all the while falling in love with a man tormented by a terrible loss. It was a bit repetitive with Bailey’s reactions but it did remind us the importance of second chances (sometimes third) and the unconditional love of family. 3.5 Stars

Bailey Jameson.... somehow a perfect name for someone who was going to work in New York’s swankiest Club..serving up drinks. Drew Lawson normally didn’t hire recovering addicts but there was something about Bailey.... well written characters, twists and turns, Ava Harrison does not disappoint her readers with strong realistic flawed characters you can not help but root for. Is there Redemption as well as love and hope to be found? Read to find out.. definitely appealing characters and story.

I hate to say this because it’s rude when someone puts their effort in and produces a book, but i found it soo boring and dull. The way Bailey kept jumping to conclusions and running away was boring and repetitive. They had no chemistry after they got into a relationship, it was all a bit off.

4.0 out of 5 stars Angsty and interesting
Reviewed in Germany on January 5, 2021
Verified Purchase
Standalone contemporary romance dealing with serious issues, such as substance abuse, pills and alcohol addiction.
I was a bit overwhelmed by this love story between Bailey, a recovering addict and Drew, survivor of substance abuse.
I appreciated the obvious in-depth research on the topics related in this book. It made for a raw and relatable story.
Bailey is fragile. She has been clean for 2 years and she tries to keep her head above water as best she can. Due to lack of money, she starts working in a club owned by Drew. Their attraction is instantanious but their relationship is toxic, filled with half truths. It was hard to read Bailey's internal monologue, her lack of trust and to understand how easily one can slip back into the habit without a firm support system in place and real rehab.
I was a bit confused at times about where the story was going and how it was evolving. And at times the sexy dialogue was a bit cringy. This book is only mildly sexy, the plot revolving more around addiction and it's consequences than anything else.
Overall it was an interesting, really angsty book.

I'm a huge Ava Harrison fan, love the angst, alpha males, chemistry and sex.
This really missed the mark for me. It was very pedestrian and I thought her and Carter were a better match - they certainly shared more. I nearly gave up several times and ended up skipping a big chunk... won't stop me reading more from this author.

3.0 out of 5 stars Alright, but..
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 21, 2021

OK so I started this with a good feeling, I'd read the reviews and the premise and it seemed like my thing, and it was; until it wasn't. Thing is, I feel like this book went downhill when the main mcs got together, their communication to each other, despite that we knew what they were thinking, didn't gel. Their first sexy time was kind of a let down both in description and story. The way that went would've had me feeling the same as Bailey and rather than explain what he was thinking he kind of acted like a douche, then he bought someone to the club, it just didn't mesh for how she said she feels about him because thus far there was no reason to. Anywho, once they figured it out, again the sex was lacklustre and didn't feed my thirst for details quenched because it didn't match the tension between them, also it got sort of cheesy. Not to mention Bailey seemed to go from mature recovering addict to an immature impulsive girl jumping to conclusions and that for me was the real shame. Because she was built up as this character who despite her hardships was really trying and doing well, then just to squeeze more of a story out of it, the author decided that it would make sense to write that in less than 15 mins she went and got drunk and passed out and apparantly in his own club, drew couldn't find her in time and Carter couldn't stop her, it was really stretching it beyond realistic and there are quite a few scenes that seem to jump at that same type of pace. Which again let the story down, because how come she says she's never truly dealt with her problems? What about the last 2 years and how she got there? Her sister was always on her case but after the 30 day rehab everyone's proud... and thats that. It just didn't fit. Like harpers resentment towards drew, it vanished after 1 statement from him at the hospital and she goes from accusing him of doing it before, to telling him its not his fault and he shouldn't be going through it again? I mean come on. Keep a level realistic pace. Last but not least, I'm almost pretty effing sure both mcs have a mother called alta. WTF lol its like the author liked the name and forgot she gave it his mum before she got a few chapters later and thought oh il call it her mum. I give it 3 stars because while there is some issues I don't like in this book, the premise and the way she tries to tell of how addicts struggle etc was on point and it kept me reading until 80 percent. Also there seemed to be no grammar mistakes which is a pet peeve if mine
