Title: Attraction (Temptation Series #4)
Author: KM Golland
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Synopsis
A stunning new novel featuring the characters from theTemptation books...
Have you ever thought you knew exactly where your life was headed?
Carly enjoys her carefree life — free from obstructions, free from drama, and free from anchors that tie her down to anyone or anything. She likes making her own decisions and not having to answer to anyone. Her life is good. Uncomplicated.
But Carly is set for a shake-up when she is introduced to Derek at her best friend’s birthday. Firefighter-Derek. Drop-dead-gorgeous-Derek. Brown-eyed-dirty-talking-cocky-as-hell-Derek. Their instant attraction has them both questioning their outlook on life, on relationships ... and on love.
Please note: Attraction can be read as a stand-alone novel. However, character development may be limited if you choose not to read the other books first.
My Review
“I just made you ome with one finger. Imagine what I can do with two?”
My mouth dropped open at the very thought of coming on his fingers. I wanted to come and I wanted him to make me do it.
“That one was a little better,” I choke out, clearing my throat, “But it appears you will have eight other fingers that are just sitting around and doing nothing.”
“Trust me, Carly,” Derek said with a seductive glint, “they wouldn’t be doing nothing.”
I first read K.M. Golland back in March of this year and I was completely addicted to her Temptation series. I read all four books about Bryce and Alexis in one week. Then I found out there was going to be a fifth book revolving around Derek and Carly and I have been super excited about this release for months. Even though this is part of the Temptation series it can 100 percent be read as a standalone novel.
Ok so Carly! Carly! Carly! Carly! What can I say about Carly? Well- she is not your typical reserved or laid back female lead. She is a sexual deviant and is proud of it. She is hilarious when she talks about her “Carly Cave” and she is open and proud of her experience when it comes to the opposite sex. At times she comes off as a bit immature to me but she is not—its just how she is. She is not the relationship type of girl that sees herself settling or with kids. She is quite the opposite actually. I’m not usually a fan of over the top funny- but Carly is right on the line. She is 100 percent hilarious without being ridiculous about it. I absolutely loved her.
The best part about this story is that right off the bat- when these characters meet their sexual attraction is tummy clenching hot. They are honest about what they want with each other but it’s all done in a fun and playful way. They don’t take themselves too seriously. Derek is confident he can put out the fire burning in the Carly Cave and Carly wants nothing more than to be extinguished by Derek’s blissfully beautiful fire hose.
Derek clicked his jaw from side to side and stood upright before swigging his beer and piercing me with a hearted stare. That one look spoke many things. It said I was going to get fucked. Fucked hard and for however long he wanted to fuck me.
Oh… fuck!
However, life gets in the way and things don’t always go as planned. While Derek deals with family drama, Carly is terrified of what she is already feeling for this man she barely knows. Carly doesn’t trust easily and when she finds out the truth about Derek’s past she is heartbroken and scared.
I loved how roles were kind of opposite in this book. Derek- even with his panty melting looks and sexy as fuck job- isn’t the player you would think he would be. Carly on the other hand, lets just say she is very open about how many times she has done “things” and is proud of it but not in a slutty way. Carly is just a very sexual and confident woman and together they just “are”.
Normally I would be happy a storyline wrapped up in one book and left me with no cliffy but I have to say that I wish their story would have been dragged out into two books. I think the timeline of the story went by very fast and some of the drama/angst could have been played out a bit more but overall it was still an amazing read. The Temptation series- every single book in it is one of my favorite series to date.
KM Golland is a must read author for me. She is funny and sexy and makes me want things that I never ever do like cliffys and angst and *gasp* even a little cheating.
The feeling that shot through my fingers, up my arm and throughout my body as our skin connected, was pretty much indescribable. But I will say this: It’s a feeling that happens once in a lifetime, a result of finding ‘the one’, of connecting with someone beyond attraction. It’s the feeling of finding your soul mate.
