Synopsis
Monsters are real…and that monster is my father.
Ten years ago, I surrendered. I thought I was doing the right thing. But lies and greed have once again destroyed my life, leaving me to deal with the aftermath.
This life has always been a curse, but the world as I know it has changed. Belfast isn’t what it used to be.
Alliances are broken. Kingdoms have fallen. But those who remain loyal see me as their rightful king.
With secrets unraveled, my need for vengeance grows stronger every day.
However, ten years is a long time. People have changed. I have changed. But the one thing that remains untouched is my love for Babydoll—I love her…even if she doesn’t feel the same.
I will take back what’s mine.
My kingdom.
My name.
And my girl.
Every monster is scared of somethin’…and that somethin’ is me.
No more hiding in the shadows because I’m huntin’ you…Father.
Run, wee monsters, run.

My Review
INTO TEMPTATION:
Is the second full length romance book in the series 'Delivers Us from Evil, by Monica James. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.' Into Temptation picks up from where Thy Kingdom Come left off.
This was the one book which I was highly anticipating above all others, as soon as it landed on my kindle, it was game over, Punky was mine, all bets were off and I was in my happy place devouring chapter by chapter.
Even though this started slow you could feel something building up in the background, pulling me in further as it did, one name on Punk's lips as he's released from the chains that bound him for ten years, was the name of his father. Revenge runs rampart in Punk's veins, he's out to avenge all the wrongs done to the ones he loves. But things on the outside aren't as he'd left them. Loyalties are under question, even those of his closest allies, families are divided, without a doubt blood will be shed.
The hunt is on...
“𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄.
𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗻
𝗦𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿”
With secrets between babydoll and Punky I knew life for them wasn't going to be an easy one, but what was ahead of them was worse than I had ever imagined, their path is bumpy, its ugly, but the one constant that shined through above all else is the love they still felt each other. They still had that extra chemistry even after ten years apart. I was still under their spell, still caught in their web as I raced to see if they would come together again.
“ 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒌. 𝑰𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏. 𝑩𝒂𝒃𝒚𝒅𝒐𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒎𝒚 𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒖𝒕 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒎'𝒔 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏.”
This had my heart rate spiking, praying that those I've grown to love in this series come out unscathed. This world which Monica has built is utterly enthralling and unique in its entirety, which ticks so many boxes.
