Summary

To find temptation, we must lay our own path.

For the last ten years, I thought I was nothing special. I was just another priestess in the Temple of Temptation...one of many. Little did I know that my god has plans for me. He intends to make me powerful.

But what I will become is up to me.

For centuries, things here have always been done the same way—and the gods are now paying for it. Somehow, I'm expected to revive the faith. I'm their last hope, but no one is quite sure how I'm supposed to do that.

That means I'm making this up as I go. My god is begging me to become something new. My temple wants me to respect traditions. My instructors want to force me to follow their rules.

I just want to save my god.

With my three men, I know I'll figure it out. That is not the same as this being easy, though. Even worse, being "special" makes those around me jealous, and giving in to temptation is a part of our nature. When my guardian's family gets involved, things get infinitely more complicated.

The temple wants to break me. My success or failure depends on the path I choose. I just hope I find the right one.

The Path of Temptation series features a strong woman and the men who love her. It's intended for a mature audience due to graphic language, adult situations, and potentially triggering violence including discussions of rape and assault.

So far i haven't been bored once. There is always something happening. I like all the characters and there are quite a few. I was concerned on some aspects of the story, such as them having to "service" people. But so far nothing has crossed the lines, where I'm uncomfortable. The writing is very good and detailed. Allows your imagination to create this world and follow along.

For those wanting to know, there is 1 M/M scene. Not very sexy, consentual, and needed for the story line. But I do hope for more M/M scenes. so far they are lacking lol.

The narrators are doing well. Mainly female led. I think around 6 to 8 chapters were from the male narrator. But she has done a good job with the male voices. I can tell them apart when they are all speaking.

I would recommend. spice level i would put at low, compared to some books i've listened too. like riches to riches that left me speechless at some points lol! but I think on average it's meant to be around medium. I purchased the next book immediately.

thoroughly enjoying this series

Nari continues getting used to life in the temple now that she's no longer a child. If you loved the previous book, you'll love this one and you'll definitely want to have used a credit on book 3 and have it downloaded and ready to go as soon as this one ends! I was waiting for this series to be complete before starting it, and now I'm working my way through this series. My house is amazingly clean since I need to be doing something while listening.

Auryn Hadley's books are lovingly epic. No shallow 'we met and now everything is good' her stories have plots, side plots, characters with their own plots, and a red thread that pulls you throughout the detail filled story.

The plot thickens!

Book 2 is even better and more enjoyable. After watching them grow we are able to enjoy the characters become

Smooth transition
