Tempt: An Exciting and Sexy Take It Off Standalone Novel Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 235 ratings

Stranded and alone with not one, but two wickedly enticing men.
Ava arrives at the airport, expecting to board a commercial flight to Puerto Rico. But a plane ticket isn’t waiting for her. Instead, she finds a guy with dark curly hair wearing seriously ratty jeans and holding a sign with her name on it.
He may not look like a pilot, but he is. And he’s her ride.
So now it’s just Nash and her on a tiny tin can of a plane flying over the Atlantic. When a thunderstorm comes out of nowhere, it proves to be too much for the little aircraft.
Ava and Nash plunge from the sky and end up on an uncharted deserted island.
Stranded.
As if that isn’t bad enough, Ava starts to desire more than just rescue—hunger for more than food. Nash is only too happy to oblige… but it seems they might not be as alone as they thought.
And Nash might have some competition in claiming Ava’s body… and her heart.

Review

"All Hail the New Queen of HOT Romance! New My favorite romance of the last year. I adore this book. Nash & Ava...such a great story. I think I may have a new book boyfriend. This is a true romance story, but it mixes in danger, deception & desire." ~ Buffee - An Amazon verified purchase review
"Can we get more than 5 stars please...?" ~ Tiffani Sanderson-Bullock - An Amazon verified purchase review

From the Author

TEASER from TEMPT"Look, I love that you're so protective. I actually really love it, even though it annoys the crap out of me sometimes, but you can't protect me from everything." 
"I know. But this,
this I have to protect you from."
"What
this?" I asked, trying to see through the smoke toward the plane.
"What do you think a group of known thieves and killers--a group of
men--who live on an island with no law would do to a blond-haired, blue-eyed beauty like you?"
I can't even describe how terrified his words made me.
"I'm not trying to control you,
bella," Nash said gently, stroking a hand down my arm. "There's only one of me and many of them. I will fight to the death for you, but when I die, so does your protection."
A sob caught in my throat.
I was so overwhelmed with emotion, I stopped walking. Thick smoke wrapped around us, likely concealing us and this little stretch of beach where we stood. He said he would die for me. The thought of him dying literally made me feel like I had ice in my veins.
I threw my arms around him and buried my face in his neck. "Please don't die."

Cambria Hebert is a bestselling novelist of more than fifty titles. She went to college for a bachelor’s degree, couldn’t pick a major, and ended up with a degree in cosmetology. So rest assured her characters will always have good hair.

Besides writing, Cambria loves a pumpkin spice latte, staying up late, sleeping in, and watching K drama until her eyes won’t stay open. She considers math human torture and has an irrational fear of chickens (yes, chickens). You can often find her running on the treadmill (she’d rather be eating a donut), painting her toenails (because she bites her fingernails), or walking her chihuahuas (the real bosses of the house).

Cambria has written in many genres, including new adult, sports romance, male/male romance, sci-fi, thriller, suspense, contemporary romance, and young adult. Many of her titles have been translated into foreign languages and have been the recipients of multiple awards.

    Oh Cambria girl you have done it yet again I am so in love with all the books from the “Take It Off Series” and Tempt is just another great one in this series. I mean come on a beautiful woman stranded on an island with two hot men. Phew that is a girls fantasy right there.

    Nash the hottie who flew in from Puerto Rico to pick up Ava to take her to where her grandmother wanted her ashes spread. And Duke who was already stranded on the island before the plane Nash and Ava were flying in crashed. WOW. The sparks flew almost from the start on this one.

    (.....‘Stranded and alone with not one but two wickedly enticing men.’.....)

    Now that is what I am talking about, what a way to start a book off. And leave it to Cambria to grab you and pull you in right from the very start.

    (.....Stranded.

    As if that isn’t bad enough, Ava starts to desire more than just rescue-hunger for more than food. Nash is only too happy to oblige… but it seems they might not be as alone as they thought.

    And Nash might have some competition in claiming Ava’s body… and her heart.....)

    Now if that isn’t a TEASE of what is to come – bring it Cambria – I am ready. Oh am I ready. I mean Nash, oh lord he could do all of the things he does to Ava to me any day of the week. And Duke too!! LOL

    This book has everything, sex, tears, sex, laughter, sex, tense moments, sex, sex oh did I say sex. But it has more than that, the story line is superb as always, the characters are amazing. I just loved Ava. I will say Nash was my favorite character. I just fell in love with him the moment Ava meets him in the airport. His quick wit, charm, charisma, and just down right sexy self won me over and stole my heart. He is beyond swoon worthy for me. I mean Spanish accent, golden tan, tall, dark hair, sexy eyes, hot to the touch… yeah girls come on you know you are rushing to get the book now to see just what I am talking about.

    The scenes in this book can get downright hot I tell you – you need a lot of fans, ice cubes, wet rags, etc for some of these ladies. You think I am kidding here a small peak just because I figure the book is called TEASE for a reason so why not do a little teasing of my own.

    (.....He was like a drug. An addiction. His fingers were my dealer and his lips were my poison. I lived for my next fix, the next time his knuckles would graze the softness of my inner thigh, the next time he would gently scrape his fingernails across my lower abdomen and then delve into my soft curls at the apex of my hips.....)

    Like I said – TEASE and there is a lot more where that came from. Cambria has such a great way with writing that you are drawn into the story. Close your eyes, you are there, you feel the emotion, the heat, the moment. I can’t get enough of these books.

    I couldn’t put this book down. I mean Ava and Nash were connected almost from the start, drawn to each other and of course a bad situation brings them closer together, then toss in another guy Duke, and things just get all churned up. Being stranded on an island with no way to get off and no hope of anyone finding them. And then you find out there is danger out there on top of that. I was rushing to get to the next page, to find out if Ava and Nash seal the deal, or does Ava give in to Duke. OR BOTH!!. Does the danger on the other side get them, what happens.

    Go get your own copy I am so not telling you how this one ends. I am off to read TEXT now. LOL

    This book was a struggle. I started it, then put it down for a bit. Then today I was in a book funk & nothing sounded good & usually that's when I reach for a "recovery re-read." Cambria's books are always good for that! But this one... It just kept taunting me. It's the one book in the TIO series that I hadn't wanted to read. I bought it because it's part of the series, and I want the whole series. But it sat on my shelf, and I would try to read it & just couldn't.

    I'm not a fan of triangles, or desert island stories, frankly.

    But this is Cambria, and darn her, she made me fall in love with Ava & Nash! They have an instant connection, but also an instant annoyance with each other. But when things get hinky, and they know the plane is going down... his first instinct is to protect her, and hers is to be grateful the last sound she hears will be his voice.

    *swoon*

    And then, on the island... the way he takes care of her, the way she wants to take care of him, it all is just so mesmerizing... And the triangle portion of the story - well, it's not my favorite, but goodness the way it's written, seriously fabulous story telling!

    And so, in the end, while this book isn't my favorite in the TIO series, I did end up really loving it, and it will be re-read. So, definitely worth it! : )

  • Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2013
    If I ever get marooned on an island, I certainly hope that it's with Nash. The man is hot!! He's protective, smart, sexy, tall, dark and has beautiful green eyes. From the minute she lays eyes on him in the airport in those holey blue jeans that fit just right, Ava is immediately attracted to Nash. And who the heck could blame her? Ava's grandmother has passed away and left instructions for her ashes to be spread in Puerto Rico. Nash and Ava's grandmothers (Abuelas) were best friends. Nash is a pilot and has a small plane, and has been sent by his grandmother to Miami to pick up Ava and return her to Puerto Rico. While en route, a bad storm develops and their plane crashes on a small deserted island. Or is it deserted? I'll let you read about that.

    These two have strong and immediate chemistry. Even when the plane was going down, Nash's first instinct is to protect Ava. He is just the perfect man and always puts Ava's needs/safety before his own. The majority of this book takes place on the island as they wait in hopes of being rescued. Feelings for each other develop, and get stronger and stronger each day. They are so cute together.

    You'll enjoy this stand alone book and SPOILER, it does have a happy ending. You'll also get a preview of the next book Text, due for release in November. Can't wait. I have thoroughly enjoyed all three books so far in this series.

    Wow this was great. I loved it.
    Ava has to go to Puerto Rico & gets a surprise at the airport, when she learns that instead of a commercial flight, she is going on a private plane. The pilot is the devastatingly handsome Nash.
    Unfortunately disaster strikes on their journey & they crash on a seemingly deserted island. Together they have to come to terms with being stranded & learn how to survive long enough to be rescued.
    The sexual chemistry between Ava & Nash is electric.
    Cambria Hebert brings us another great story. That draws you in immediately. I loved the characters she created & found myself cheering them on.
    A really exciting read, I read it in an afternoon, just couldn't put it down.

    I enjoyed reading this romantic stand-alone story. Ava and Nash are stranded on a deserted Island after a horrific flight. What starts out as romantic story turns into a fight for survival when they discover they are not alone. Sexy scenes and lots of drama.
