… absolutely delicious … the author keeps us guessing with several suspenses, a few betrayals, and more intrigue than I would have thought possible in one story. In the hands of a less talented author, such a busy plot may have become difficult to follow, but Sylvia Day handles it with aplomb, delivering a story that grips the reader at page one and refuses to let them go until the very end.

Don’t Tempt Me is indeed a tempting story. Ms. Day has a gift for creating passion and intrigue and this story displays those gifts admirably. This story takes place in Paris during the 1700’s, and it’s easy to picture yourself right in the middle of the action with the colorful descriptions given throughout this tantalizing tale. Don’t Tempt Me is a great story and I’m giving it a well deserved 5 angels!

This is a brilliant historical romantic suspense as Sylvia Day blends several subplots into a powerful thriller. The story line is fast-paced from the moment that Quinn sees Lynette and never slows down…

The major foundation of this story is the complicated plot, it is masterfully written, rich and stunning and the intensity of it keeps you on your toes till the very end. You keep asking yourself who the real villain is and what his or her motives are. Therefore the plot is very unpredictable and it will keep you flipping the pages because you want to know the end. It also provides for witty banter and heated dialogues between the characters - their fierceness vibrates from the pages!
Don’t Tempt Me is a brilliant combination of the historical genre with an intriguing conspiracy mystery. It has an adoring cast of characters, a lush and steamy romance, life-threatening danger and a plot that will leave you breathless. This versatile and wonderfully written story guarantees to captivate you till the very end!

Can you say compelling? Don’t Tempt Me is chock full of secrets and hidden players who all are working for a secretive cause during this turbulent time in French and British history. Add in a surprise twist at the end of Don’t Tempt Me that I did not see coming, and I can clearly say that Sylvia Day has a winner on her hands! Whether her novels take place in paranormal worlds or the drawing rooms of Georgian society, Sylvia Day never fails to deliver on a novel that I can’t put down until I have read the very last word.

The heat between Simon and Lynette smolders on the pages. Their attraction, seemingly doomed from the beginning, is made of the strongest, sweetest emotions mixed with the steamiest passions. The history of and relationships between secondary characters are brilliantly told at the beginning, shedding light on the back story and giving readers the bonus of an additional story.
I remember the first review I did for then-new author Sylvia Day several years ago; I compared her style to that of veteran historical author Nicole Jordan. No comparisons are necessary these days. Ms. Day has come into her own as a masterful storyteller whose historicals are repeatedly guaranteed to become reader favorites. I highly recommend DON’T TEMPT ME for all historical fans.
