Be my Temptation (The Crawford Brothers #2) By Rachel Brookes
You met Josh Crawford and Ashlyn Hart in Be My December, now its time to read their story.
One night connected them.
One decision separated them.
One craving tempted them.
Ashlyn Hart was done with men, or at least those outside of her books. After stupidly falling for the charms of her cheating ex and having her heart broken yet again, she decided to create a new life. One that involved a career change, a new wardrobe, and the possibility of moving abroad. There was just one hurdle: the confident, stubborn and insanely-tempting Josh Crawford.
Josh Crawford hid behind the cliché bachelor lifestyle and a never-ending parade of women. He knew the game and played it well, but the night he tasted perfection four years ago never left him. Back then, he made a spur of the moment decision, one that he has battled with ever since. But beneath the playboy façade was a yearning that wouldn’t disappear. A craving for the only woman who could bring him to his knees: Ashlyn Hart.
Two weeks changes everything.
One night unravels the deepest of desires.
A simple taste unleashes memories that can’t be tamed.
When the girl who dreams of a happily ever after collides with the guy who lives the ultimate cliffhanger, what ending awaits them? Will fear overshadow love? Will the past play hindrance to the future, or will temptation conquer it all?

I received Be My Temptation as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
After reading Be my December I was excited to read the brothers novel. Although we don't know much about the two characters, Ash and Josh.
I found the book dragged a little, and got bored easily, but other than that it was a pretty amusing read.
I don't want to give you to much of what happens, but Ash, who gets back with her ex in the first book in the series finds him in bed with another woman. SHOCKER. The bloke screamed asshole LOL
Anyway, she turns to Josh for comfort. Telling him, and only him about everything that went down.
The two fight their attraction towards each other and with her ex trying to get her back, and been vicious about it, Ash has lost all confidence in herself and has decided to quit her job and the country just to escape.
Now, can Josh convince her to stay????
For me the book was only a 3.5* I enjoyed it, but not as much as the first in the series. Still a book I would recommend though.

Be my December By Rachel Brookes
This book contains content that may be offensive to some readers.
Including sexual assault (flashbacks), adult situations, and graphic language.
I knew the exact moment I’d become a ‘yes’ girl.
December 16th, a cold winter’s night, four years ago.
The night my innocence was stolen, the night I made the mistake of saying no—a mistake I’d never make again.
The dream of a ‘happily ever after' was now a locked away myth. I promised myself that I’d never return to the place of my worst nightmare, that I’d never let anyone get close, but then again, I never thought I’d meet someone like him.
The intense, confident and beautiful Ky Crawford.
I had no plans to become someone’s Prince Charming.
I couldn’t be. I refused to be. My plan was simple—do whatever it takes to correct my biggest mistake, my one regret that now controlled my life.
I was on track. I had plans, but then everything changed when I saw her—the girl in the red jacket, the girl who I was told couldn’t say no.
The reserved yet stunning Eden Rivers.
A girl who can’t say no.
A guy who craves redemption.
A chance encounter?
It all comes down to this.
One question.
One month.

Be My December?
Be my December is one of the most heart felt books I've read in a long time. I got so lost in the story, in the characters and into the way it made me feel, that half the time I had to keep reminding myself I was reading a book.
There isn't much to say with review because it will just give the story line away and it's something that will ruin the entire book for you. Here is what I will say....
Eden is such a lovely character. She thinks of herself as weak and broken but she's far from it. The woman in this novel is strong and has overcome one of the most horrific things to happen to a woman. I loved everything about her.
Ky, I knew his story from the beginning. I knew his involvement, but not to the exact fact, but I pretty much guessed it. It didn't seem to be that big of a secret, although the author made it come across that way. It was guessable. Still, it didn't stop me from being pretty gripped. I fell in love with him and the way he treated Eden. She needed him in her life. She needed him to bring her back to life, which is what he does.
At first, I saw the proposal going one way, but it went completely different to how I first planned. It was bloody great.
The ending was also everything you could have wished for. It wasn't rushed, or slow, it was perfect. Loved it.
This part has nothing to do with book but from a review I read....
I read on someone's review about suicide been weak. There isn't a suicide in this book but I would love to clear a few things up to those apposed to suicide.
People say people who kill themselves are weak. That they take the easy way out and are cowards. I'm sorry but you could never be further from the truth. Yes people deal with situations differently and can handle things better than others. But put yourself in they're shoes. How can ending your life be easier? Someone does it, not knowing where they'll go, whether they'll find peace or anything. Life, is the easiest root. You know what you get from life and know where it leads in a way. People who end their life aren't knowing that. They want to end their pain and make it stop.
They aren't weak. They just feel a lot differently to someone else. They handle it harder. No one should judge. Yes there are millions of people wishing they had one more day to live in this world, but whose to say what is right or wrong? People go though traumatic events that can change who a person is. Don't judge what people can't handle or if they want to forget.
I'm not saying Suicide is right or wrong. People must have a reason to want to do the impossible.
You know when you want to see how long you can stay under water? and your body starts fighting for air? well that's what suicide must be like, but the person must be that desperate that they fight that pull to survive.
Anyway, 5* for this amazing novel and well done to Rachel for gifting us with this amazing read. One for everyone xx
