Brooke
I’ve come from a privileged life and an even more privileged upbringing. My parents taught me right from wrong and everything in between… except I wanted the gray area. I wanted to live life on the edge with the possibility of falling over. I didn’t care about the consequences because I had no heart…
I left that on the floor of my parents’ bedroom door, shattered.
And never went back to pick up the pieces.
Devon
Family first.
I learned the meaning of the word hate.
I learned that life is a battlefield and I stood frontline.
I learned that praying doesn’t work and God doesn’t listen.
And I learned how to be a man…
All at the receiving end of my father’s fists, my mother’s tears, and my sisters screams.
You can’t run away from your past…
It will always find you, especially when you’re asleep.

I was there, but I
wasn’t.
I danced around in a sea of emptiness and longing, it moved around me easily, carelessly, harshly.
It was all and it was nothing.
It made me full and it made me empty.
It pleased me and it dismayed me.
I didn’t care. I was there to do a job. To be a VIP. I played my part beautifully, just as I always did. Letting myself get taken away on empty promises of nothing, but somehow seemed like everything.

I received an ARC in exchanged for an
honest review
Tempting Bad is one of those books that
as soon as you're finish, you want to go back to page 1 and
experience it all over again.
I enjoyed every single twisted minute of
Tempting Bad. M. Robinson writes beautifully even though her stories
aren't your typical roses and hearts story.
This story was well written, the
characters and how their lives came together was well thought out and
planned.
VIP is a spin off from M. Robinson's
VIP series. I must admit I didn't read the last book in the series
and I should have. I learned some important details that if I read
the last book in the VIP series I would not have been so surprise.
The story of Brooke and Devon was both
heartbreaking and a great one. I enjoyed seeing how these individuals
were brought together and how their lives changed.
Characters:
Even though Brooke had everything she
wanted in life, one night changed everything for her. We see a
carefree teen become lost in a world she thought she knew. Brooke was
definitely broken and trying to find her place. I loved how
determine, strong and loving she was. Brooke wasn't the easiest
person to love but boy when she did it was like an earthquake.
I enjoyed Devon's characters. I loved
how he cared for his family and took on a father role. You can't help
but fall in love with him despite all his demons.
Overall, great story line, the story
was easy to read, hot, funny and has you on your toes throughout.
Definitely a must read for 2015.
