....."TEMPTATION UNLEASHED has an interesting twist that readers will find different. Aiden has a commanding
presence that will send chills down your spine. Kira is the perfect heroine that never backs down from danger or Aiden.
The love scenes are full of steamy tension and of course the evil sorcerer will have you on the edge of your seat. Kari
Thomas has done an excellent job of combining two very different aspects of the paranormal and in the end you get a
terrific tale."
