For months, he has battled the emergence of his dark nature—deadly urges that
threaten to consume him. And those cravings only intensify when he meets Arianna
Wells, the human he's been assigned to protect. Smart and perceptive, Arianna
doesn't seem like a dangerous temptress. Yet she awakens in Jackson an unstoppable need
that, if left unchecked, will brand him a traitor a crime punishable by death.

is a merciless enemy—one who will stop at nothing to claim her completely.

Review:
Sweetbloods are the
hottest commodity on the black market for vampires.
With
blood
so intoxicating, vampires, known as Darkbloods, will stop at nothing to kidnap
one. Jackson Foss, a
Guardian vampire,
protects Sweetbloods
even
though their blood calls to him. However,
Jackson harbors a secret,
his need for blood increases everyday. As his secret begins
showing itself the moment he saves Arianna and her niece Krystal from
Darkbloods, Jackson struggles to
maintain control as well as hide his feelings for a woman he cannot control,
Arianna.
Arianna Wells past
haunts her everyday. She believed monsters in the
shadows
killed
her mother when she was young. At that time Arianna was not aware
she could see Darkbloods moving
within the shadows, something no ordinary human can do. For years, she
used
her anonymous
blog to
find the truth about what she has seen as well as any other paranormal
activity. Arianna’s fears
become a reality when her niece Krystal comes to live with her. Darkbloods try
to kidnap Krystal and Jackson comes to the rescue
starting a chain of events that changes Arianna’s life forever.
Tempted
by Blood
is a well- written,
engaging story that
takes vampire lore to a whole new level. The storyline is
full of
twists although the
betrayer is easy to discover. The secondary characters are just as lively as the
main characters adding depth and cohesiveness to the story and pulling readers
further in.
Tempted
by Blood is a wonderful
addition to the Sweetblood series and one that
no fan should over-look.
