August TBR Challenge: Because You Tempt Me by Beth Kery

This month Wendy's TBR Challenge is just right for the heat wave days of August, Steamy Erotica. I have not be enticed to read erotica for quite some time. But in keeping with the challenge, I chose one that has been on reading chair stack since May. Because You Tempt Me is the first installment of a serialized e- novel, written by Beth Kery. I am too time challenged to keep up with weekly releases so I waited to buy the complete book in print form, but in keeping with the spirit of the project, I decided to limit myself to reading one section a week. I failed. 

The book begins at a reception for an aspiring artist Francesca who has won a prestigious art contest funded by multi-millionaire Ian. She is of course seduced at first sight, and he appears to be less so. He takes her to his apartment  and she has a Belle in Beauty and the Beast moment of  being in a room of her dreams. This is where the story turns into one that engages your mind and emotions. He seems to know her in a personal way, but how can he? Just when they get heated up, of course it ends. Wait until next week for the next installment. I'm not that patient.

My grade for setting, sensual build-up and a view to die for A.
