Queen B’s Decree: I was extremely tempted by the concept of Slice of Temptation. Childhood sweetheart cheats on you when you’re a teenager and has a child with another woman. 25 years later, that same child becomes your boyfriend…except you don’t realize the connection.
Can we say D.R.A.M.A??? Yes, please.
There was plenty of drama, spice, and heat between Rylee and Chance and their connection was instant. Despite the age gap, they felt pretty equal to me; almost like Chance was an old soul…and Rylee was emotionally stunted due to trauma when she was a teenager.
Slice of Temptation was a little too much back-and-forth at times, but I was still thoroughly invested into the characters and their outcome. Chance’s pets were maybe my favorite parts, but I really couldn’t resist the angsty connection with Chance’s father and how everyone discussed and grew through that.
A great audio selection from D.L. Darby!
