Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

His grandmother isn’t able to finish the book and Dov promised he’d complete it so fans won’t be disappointed—a task that’s harder than he ever imagined.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,015
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Turn about rating
I liked the story overall and although it was long I found it enjoyable. Started slow and a bit ordinary like most other books but after about 30 minutes it picked up speed and became more engaging. Although I enjoyed the book the story is somewhat Cinderella like in that it’s unrealistic and yet fun to listen to. For that reason I cannot give it a 4.

Better than expected.
It took me a while to get into this book but once I did, it was worth it! The heroine's devotion to doing the right thing and the hero's determination to see things through helped me hang on too.
I will give another one of her books a try.

Romantic, engaging, enthralling!
Any additional comments?
The story is well written with romantic attraction, impossible obstacles, forgiveness, and revenge. The characters are human, frustrating, adorable, and redeemable. There is all kinds of love; romantic, sexual, family, parental. And all kinds of selfishness, hatred, and resentment. Jo Goodman writes a wonderful, complete romantic tale -- there is none better.

I'd forgotten what a great book this is...
My personal benchmark for a good book has always been whether or not I would read it again. Some books are actually better the second, or even third time around. Tempting Torment is one of them.
I left this one on my "shelf" for longer than usual because it isn't really my favorite time period. I generally prefer Regency or early Victorian settings. This one is set after the Revolutionary War, with a hero who is involved in re-writing the Articles of Confederation.
It begins in England with a heroine desperate to save an infant heir from an unscrupulous pair of guardians, moves to America and includes just about everything anyone might want to see in a period romance novel. Highwaymen, a nasty ex-fiancee, a huge loving family in the background, a hero behaving like a jackass, and a long suffering heroine - not to mention a background written so well that you feel as if you are there.
I hope the author will make more of her books available on audio - and you will, too after you hear this one.

Enjoyed
I like the way author develops characters, but thought the heroine should have shared the true a little sooner.

DNF - Mild spoilers ahead.
The narrator did a good job. Her voice had good inflection and differeniated the various characters well.
The low rating was for the writing. I tired of the constant back and forth squabbling and selfish attitudes of the lead characters. By Chapter 13, they were having "angry" sex which is not something I enjoy reading about in a romance novel. He wanted the use of her body. his "wh*re" as he put it and she bent to his demands to get what she wanted but removed herself emotionally. This went on for several nights. Ewww ... she wasn't the only one who felt the need to scrub herself clean afterwards; I felt the need myself after reading it.
Furthermore, there were inconsistencies in the writing. The first time the couple have sex, she is a virgin and is not sure of herself. The second time, she is a sexual "lioness" and pleasures him without any instruction from him. Very unlikely. He also claims to be concerned about the possibility of her making him an accessory in whatever crime she is involved in which is another unlikely scenario. There is also continuous incongruencies in their feelings for each other which just doesn't make sense to me. It reminded me of the childhood game of plucking daisy petals, "He loves me, he loves me not" but in a cruel way.
I feel the need to cleanse my literary palate so am moving on to a good romance story. I am not invested in reading further about two irredeemable people. I DNF at Chapter 13 and will not be downloading this author again. I regret the waste of time.
