Tempted (The Wicked Woodleys Book 3)

*** I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. ***Juliet was a healer with a most unassuming personality. She never tried to push herself into the family of Woodleys, they just accepted her because she helped their mother. But Juliet was so much more than what appearance. She was beautiful, caring and giving to everyone in the family, except Gabriel. Gabriel made her feel so different when he was around her. Gabriel always appears to be watching her closely, why did he do that? Did he not trust her with his mother? Why does she have to be attracted to Gabriel. Juliet was trying not fall for Gabriel, because Gabriel appeared to walking around with such a burden on him.Gabriel was the brother with most intelligence and least amount of social skills. Gabriel was primarily focused on finding where his twin sister Claire was. Everything he did was to find Claire. He had tried to make his other brothers more focus on the search for Claire, but they were only interested in their wives. Not him, he would never put any woman before his search of Claire, until Juliet came into his life to help heal his mother. Juliet appeared to be one person that made Gabriel become unfocused on Claire. Juliet made him feel.I so enjoyed how Jess Michaels blended the two personalities of Juliet and Gabriel. Juliet made Gabriel likeable in this book. Because to be honest, I did not like Gabriel very much in the previous book “Deceived”. The author completely developed Gabriel and made me understand why he was obsessed on finding Claire. I really empathized with Gabriel.Let me just say that Jess Michaels is one of my most favorite authors. I just love everything she has ever written. I was so lucky to be able to read this advance copy of Tempted. Her books have never disappointed me. I can not wait to read her next book about “The Wicked Woodleys”.

This is book 3 in the Wicked Woodleys series. Gabriel was devastated when his twin sister, Claire disappeared from their lives and ever since then he has been obsessed with finding her. Juliet comes into his life when she saves his mother from a serious illness. He finds it harder to concentrate on his goal of finding Claire and spends a lot of time arguing with and thinking about Juliet. The attraction between them is spontaneous and the struggle that both go through in the acceptance of their love, especially the very practical and analytical Gabriel, makes this an awesome read. I loved to see the development of their relationship through this book. As usual, the love scenes written by Jess Michaels are hot, sensuous and fairly scorch the pages. The mystery of Claire's disappearance is also very well written and leaves you with many questions even with all the clues Gabriel finds during his search. I cannot wait to read her book next!I also adored the side romance in between Jed and Susanna. I would definitely recommend reading the previous 2 books from the series before reading this book for an enjoyable and more fulfilling reading experience. I feel that you get a chance to see the romance between Gabriel and Juliet blossom and grow in the first two books, beginning with Forbidden, book one in the series. The author makes you love not just the hero and heroine but the entire family. All three stories pull you into the Woodleys lives and you end up loving, crying and laughing along with them. If you directly start with this book, it might seem a little fast paced in the beginning. Jess Michaels delivers yet another awesome book filled with love, angst and romance that makes you want to keep coming back for more!* I received this ARC from netgalley and the publisher for an honest review*

Gabriel was obsessed with finding his twin sister for 2 years, to the detriment of the rest of his life. He thinks he has no emotions, when he actually has an excess of emotions, but he doesn't quite grasp what to do with them. Then Juliette comes into his life the weird thing about this series is it seems to be a continuation of another series, where the Woodley sister disappears. Also, 2 other couples from a previous series keep showing up. I guess I will eventually read it.

Boring. The series continues to get worse the further along the story goes. Gabriel dithers between wanting to find his sister, thereby pushing Juliet away and wanting Juliet and thereby pushing his search away. Juliet appears to only have two responses to Gabriel throughout the story, hurt that Gabriel only wants her to help in his search for his long lost twin and happy that Gabriel wants her.

I enjoy all the books by this author. They are all different.Where ever does she find all these wonderful men

I liked this book bring on the next one

Love these books

Almost at the end of the series and liked Gabriel's story, know just need to know what happened to Claire.
