You’ve seen them through their most illicit temptations.
Guided them through their forbidden temptations.
Stuck with them through their uncontrollable temptations.
Owned their reckless temptations.
And survived their lethal temptations.
Five couples.
One threat.
Who will survive the eternal temptation?
Just when the men of the Pastore crime family and the brothers of the Satan’s Knights MC, think they can rest easy—a danger no one saw coming threatens to destroy everyone’s perfect life.
The men of the mob are resurrected and the boys in leather are back.
It’s time for one final ride.
And for you to ask yourself one last time...
Are you tempted?
EXCERPT:
Join an MC they said.
Take the detour.
Find your heart and own that shit.
I pause, pushing the carriage passed the park gates and pull off my sunglasses to check out our surroundings. There are a couple of kids playing in the sandbox but the little kid with the fisherman’s hat looks like he has that shit on lock down, claiming the three babies with dresses all for himself.
His parents need to teach him how to share and spread the wealth.
I turn my attention to the sprinklers, ready to introduce my son to the love of bikinis but the bigger kids run that part of the playground.
“All right, Eric, time for you to learn how to woo the women,” I say, eyeing the empty swings before looking down at my son who’s rockin’ a pair of sunglasses just like mine. “Don’t look at me like that, I know they’re empty but give it a few minutes and they’ll be lining up to swing with us,” I promise. “Just follow my lead and I’ll have you ten play dates by the time your mom’s finished getting her nails done."
He leans forward grabbing a fistful of Gerber Puffs and throws them at me.
All right, he’s not a believer—but he will be.
I push the carriage to where the swings are and unlatch Fort Knox. I swear you need to be a brain surgeon to take a kid out of a carriage. Forget about opening this fucking thing—I had to watch a YouTube video just to unfold it. Thank God, Kitten is meeting us here, otherwise I would strap this fucking thing to the roof of my truck.
I place Eric in the swing, tighten the seat belt, see now, this one isn’t so bad, one click and my boy is set. Watching as he curiously looks around the playground I push him. After a few pushes a smile makes its way across his face.
That shit never gets old.
Watching your child’s eyes widen in wonder, smile in joy as he decides he likes the new experience—it’s fucking incredible. Something I almost didn’t get the chance to experience.
“You like that, don’t you?” I grin as he giggles. That sound is contagious, causing me to laugh as I watch him cheer with every high the swing takes and clap his hands with the lows.
A mother walks up next to us and places her daughter in the swing next to ours.
“Showtime,” I whisper into Eric’s ear. “Now, the trick isn’t getting the girl…it’s keeping her once you’ve got her. You need to keep it fresh, excite her when she least expects it and always make her know how much she means to you. I’m not saying you have to marry the first girl you nab, but if she’s the one you love, always make sure you tell her. Never let her wonder—that reminds me,” I say, pulling back the swing for a second to whip out my cell phone. I swipe my thumb across the screen and compose a new text message.
Me: Roar.
I grin watching as the little gray cloud appears and two seconds later my phone chimes.
Kitten: Meow. XOXO
It chimes again when I’m about to put my phone away.
Kitten: I just finished drying my nails. Where are you guys?
Me: By the swings.
Kitten: Did Eric get any dates?
Me: Still working on it.
Kitten: LOL. See you in a few.
I pocket my phone and lean close to Eric.
“Mommy’s on her way,” I say, giving him another push and watch him eye the girl on the swing next to him. “That’s my boy! Get her Tiger!"
The girl squeals and Eric doesn’t take his eyes off her. Her mom pushes her higher, and she turns to Eric and sticks her tongue out at him. “Oh, the little vixen is playing hard to get,” I hiss, pushing Eric a drop higher.
“How old is he?” The mother asked.
“He’ll be one next month,” I reply, biting back the cringe as I ask her how old her daughter is, preparing myself for the math equation.
“How old is she?"
“Seventeen months and three days,” she replies proudly.
See, math equation. Why couldn’t she say the kid was one?
“Nice,” I reply, leaning into Eric’s ear. “She’s a cougar."
“There are my boys!"
I turn around at the sound of Lauren’s voice and smirk as she completely brushes passed me and goes straight for our son.
“There’s my little guy,” she coos, reaching for him.
Knowing the drill, I pull my baseball hat off my head and run my fingers through my hair. It’ll take Kitten a good ten seconds of lovin’ on our boy before she even realizes I’m here. She takes him out of the swing and brings him against her chest, showering him with kisses—totally ruining his game.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:
It's been a long journey for the compelling characters created by Ms. Bosco in her Tempted series and just when you think they've found their HEA readers are once again put through the emotional wringer with the unforgettable conclusion found here. From the moment this series started readers were introduced to characters that were larger than life, loyal to those they loved and called friend, and with each new release you became more fully immersed in this world. Each character became like family, their struggles becoming ours, and it's sad that it's all coming to an end with Eternal Temptations. It's sad yet ultimately uplifting as tragedy only makes bonds stronger, uniting these unlikely friends in a war based on revenge that ultimately demonstrates the power of love.
With a backdrop depicting the rise of Victor Pastore and his final plans for revenge, readers get glimpses of all the previous couples and get to be a part of their continued happiness. Even if you've never read one of the books in this series before you'll find yourself quickly consumed by these characters. From the upcoming wedding between Jack and Reina to the baby-making plan for Riggs and Lauren to the continuing mental struggles for Blackie and Lacey to the other Pastores dealing with Victor's endgame, readers are taken to the top of a rollercoaster waiting for the drop. Ms. Bosco pulls us into their happiness with steamy encounters and flirty banter between the couples, making us smile, before allowing fate to intrude in a heartbreaking way that will leave readers on edge and waiting for these bruised yet strong-willed people to rise again in all their glory. It's a moment forever seared in my mind and reflects the bond between these men who have each been through painful pasts.
Ms. Bosco has crafted a powerful series full of men and women scarred both mentally and physically who find happiness in a family of their own making. The world of the Satan's Knights MC is vividly depicted, bathed in blood, and quickly captivated me. They're a loyal bunch and their connection to the Pastore crime family is seamless and just as deadly and emotionally draining. The men of the Pastore family have given everything in the name of family and it's further reiterated by their aiding of their MC allies which leads all of them towards a fiery final confrontation that had my heart racing. From the first installment to this last one I've been taken on an unforgettable journey, an emotionally draining one, that I'll never forget. It's one I definitely recommend to those readers who love steamy romances balanced with powerful and emotionally engaging events. Though there's still stories to tell in this world I'm thankful to Ms. Bosco for crafting this tale and the warm feelings in engendered in me. I'm thankful too for the memorable characters and powerful ending that's all wrapped up with a big bow and I'm looking forward to where she'll take us next. Where Ms. Bosco takes us next will continue to keep us on the edge of our seats immersing us in the new loves and losses of more powerful men hoping to beat their demons.
