If you are a fan of paranormal romance and vampires, you might have heard of Jeaniene Frost, the bestselling author of the Night Huntress series and the Night Prince series. The latter is a spin-off that focuses on the relationship between Leila, a mortal with psychic abilities, and Vlad, the infamous Prince of Darkness. The second book in the series, Twice Tempted, was published in 2013 and received mixed reviews from readers and critics.
The plot of Twice Tempted revolves around Leila’s doubts about Vlad’s feelings for her, as he has been acting distant and secretive. When he breaks up with her without explanation, she decides to return to her old life as a carnival performer, but soon finds herself in danger from a mysterious enemy who wants her dead. Meanwhile, Vlad realizes his mistake and tries to win her back, but he has to face his own demons and enemies as well. The book promises a lot of action, suspense, and steamy scenes, as well as some twists and revelations.
However, not everyone was satisfied with the book. Some reviewers praised Frost’s writing style, humor, and world-building, as well as the chemistry and growth of the main characters. They enjoyed the fast-paced and thrilling story, and the surprising ending that left them eager for the next book. For example, one reviewer said: “I absolutely LOVE Jeaniene Frost and this book was no exception! It was a highly anticipated one for me, and I could hardly contain my excitement when I found sexy and shirtless hunk Vlad waiting at my door for me.”
On the other hand, some reviewers criticized the book for being clichéd, predictable, and shallow. They found the plot to be weak and illogical, the characters to be annoying and immature, and the romance to be forced and unrealistic. They also complained about the lack of originality and creativity, and the overuse of tropes and stereotypes. For instance, one reviewer said: “Borrow this from the library. It’s not worth buying. It’s got a lame romance-suspense plot with limp twists and moronic reactions. I’m hoping that Frost was simply overwhelmed with deadlines of some sort. I had been looking forward to this installment ever since reading the first in this spin-off series…and I’m so bloody disappointed.”
In conclusion, Twice Tempted is a book that might appeal to some fans of the genre, but might disappoint others who expect more depth and quality
