The Darkest Temptation: 3 (Made)

Perfect story and really well written, it was amazing, as always, a good read from her ❤️ recommend sincerely x

Ronan definitely takes the cake for being the most morally grey hero out of all them in this series so far, though considering their traumatic childhood and basically coming-of-age in a Russian prison, it's not all that surprising. It is a mafia romance so certain situations got *dicey*, people did terrible things, and there was a lot of toxicity. Not gonna lie, there were moments that had me questioning whether I was going to enjoy this once the book took a darker tone close to the halfway point; but things did get better and I ended up enjoying their romance!Mila and Ronan were like pure sunshine and killer grump opposites-attract enemies-to-lovers and I was here for it! I loved Mila and she was such an easy character to root for. I did think she was a little frustratingly naive at the beginning but it doesn't take long for me to love her when she's an animal-loving ray of sunshine who wears her heart on her sleeve. Her striking up a friendship with the most injured and almost rabid dog (literally) in the compound was a little cliche, and her rescuing animal moments were definitely Belle-esque, but I can't say I loved it any less! When it came to the romance, it was very insta-lust as Mila finds herself fangirl crushing on Ronan and his hand tattoos. I'm officially naming Danielle Lori the queen of sexual tension because the whole build-up was once again *chefs kiss!* Although they have a lot to overcome I do think that their relationship evolved believably and even when they hated each other their physical chemistry was undeniable and the tension only amped up with their barbed banter! Needless to say, things got pretty steamy and it was hot! 🔥The latter half is when the enemies-to-lovers part kicks in because Ronan becomes so easy to hate and Mila's good feelings towards him very understandably burn to ashes. It was also at this point where I got pretty uncomfortable with some of the things that Ronan does (CW/TW: dub-con, non-con, revenge p*rn) and I honestly wasn't sure if he'd be redeemable. Mild spoiler: Ronan was a tough hero to like because there's morally grey and then there's Ronan who treads the line of being just plain bad. That said, my icy feelings towards him melted alongside Mila's and by the end, I thought he was alright. He has the filthy mafia hero persona down to a tee and although I wouldn't exactly say his "softer" side was very soft, I still loved the moments of vulnerability that we see from him.The ending was also a bit of a surprise as I didn't expect it to go that way and if I'm honest, it was a tiny bit anticlimactic...? But it was a very satisfying HEA (and of course, there's a HEA)!

I have loved all three of these books and hope there are more to come. I literally got through them all in a week!

“The moonlight loved her.But not as much as my shadows.”Here's what you can expect:Soft and sweet heroine who can hold her own ✔Ruthless and complex antihero ✔Grumpy sunshine trope ✔Off the charts chemistry ✔Hilarious banter and the cutest endearments in Russian ✔Great character and romance development ✔Loveable side characters including a puppy ✔This was hands down my most anticipated release for 2020. I'm happy to say that Ronan and Mila have a special place in my heart and this book is going straight to my all-time favorites shelf.TDT has given me my favorite female character in Mila Mikhailova. She is soft and sweet with a heart of gold but don't be fooled- she stands up for herself and is Ronan's match in every way. I loved seeing the world through her eyes and her character development by the end of the book was amazing. Words can't express the love I have for her.Ronan has to be one of the most interesting male characters. He's an antihero- ruthless and rough, even cruel at times. However, we also got to see his vulnerabilities and his soft spot for Mila. Ronan doesn't know what love is and I loved watching him come to terms with his own emotions and feelings- things he hadn't experienced before Mila.TDT is definitely darker than the previous books but it's also balanced out with Mila and Ronan's personalities- they are polar opposites but being funny is one thing they have in common. They are definitely going to have the most hilarious kids one day. I adore them both so much!One of my favorite parts of the book is the banter between Mila and Ronan. They have the best chemistry I've ever come across- at times their interactions is funny, at other times it's very intense. From the very first meeting, they had an undeniable connection and I adored the angst in this book- the push and pull between Ronan and Mila is so worth it, especially for the ending. I was truly so invested in their relationship and happiness.The writing was beautiful as always and I loved the atmospheric descriptions- I almost felt like I was in Russia myself. I loved the depth to the characters, completed with a fun set of side characters. I have a soft spot for dogs and those scenes made me so soft! The side friendships were also so sweet as well as the appearances from Christian, Gianna and Kat.This review ended up being longer than I meant it to but it's a testament to how much I loved it! I can't wait for the next book in the Made Series and in the meantime, I'll definitely be rereading!

The Darkest Temptation- Made book 3 is a must read. The characters are interesting and developed, the storyline original.Couldn't put it down.

Eu li este livro duas vezes e na segunda vez com o audio book.Estou apaixonada por elesEu amo garotos maus e ronan com certeza que é um.Estou apaixonada pela Mila por sua personalidade, mesmo sendo uma pessoa boa de coração ele tem seu temperamento.Audio book e perfeito.Eu amei ter relido

Leí este libro en kindle y la verdad me gustó la historia, solo habría un punto en que lo cambiaría pero en formato físico es muy bonito, tiene textura aterciopelada y las paginas son blancas con letras negras. No lo recomiendo para cualquier personal que no sepa de este tipo de libros porque muy probablemente lo odiarán pero si están muy en este tema lo recomiendo, es ameno y fácil de leer, la escritura de la autora es muy ligera pero consistente.

In the end it ended up being on of my favourite books. But I did think about stopping at the half. If you are sensitive to SA I don’t really recommend, PS- he doesn’t SA her but it goes pretty close to it it actually scared me😭

Ein sehr gutes und spannendes Buch
