REVIEW: Successful businessman Morgan Steele is arrogant, sexy, has
eyes like heated chocolate chips and is the ultimate husband material.
Morgan is searching for his perfect woman. When he attends a charity
ball he declares his search is officially over as he has found that
perfect woman...Ms. Helena Spears.
Helena Spears is a beautiful, vivacious full-figured woman. She has a
successful Real-Estate agency and she is the primary care giver for her
mother Odessa Spears. The real Lena doesn’t have time for a
relationship, and her weight is a major issue. But her alter ego is like
a feline on the prowl with not a care in the world. She even has dreams
of her Prince Charming...Morgan Steele.
When Morgan propositions Lena into finding him a new home, marrying him,
and having his children; she takes the proposal lightly, not realizing
she has just set herself up to walk into a Steele Cage. Morgan’s plan is
to not let her go. Lena finally realizes his plan is very serious, when
he extends his offer to include Odessa in their future plans.
The chemistry between Morgan and Lena is explosive while the dialogue
and situations are realistic and flows at a smooth pace which draws the
reader into every single page of the story. The dialogue flows at an
excellent pace making BEYOND TEMPTATION a fun and entertaining read.
The plot is very realistic and the flow of the dialogue is proof that Ms
Jackson is an outstanding author capable of writing with style and
emotion using strong supporting characters (The Steele Clan from
previous novels), but displaying a fresh perspective of the traditional
romance.
BEYOND TEMPTATION is a must-read, must-recommend spicy romance which
left me anticipating the next Steele novel.
