Story
I always imagined Death's final kiss would be cold. It wasn't. Four years later, I can still remember the exact shade of his skin: a blue so pale it looked like moonlight. I dream of his touch. Mostly, I paint the man under the heavy cowl, including those perfect lips which ruined mine for anyone else. I'm obsessed with him.

Story
Leaving my husband was hard. Trying to face the world alone with my teenage daughter is the sort of thing nightmares are made of, but I caught a break. My best friend just hired me for a great job, with perks like a rent-free house right beside not just one handsome man, but five! Each one is hotter than the last, and all of them seem interested in me. But everyone around us has these strange golden eyes...and there are the questions no one will answer. And who cares if there's a lot of wildlife running around at night? I do, especially when a wolf keeps sneaking into my backyard.

What do you do when the guy you’ve loved since you were 14 is sent to the most dangerous prison in Solaria for saving your life? Okay, so maybe he doesn’t love me back. And maybe getting sent down would seem insane to some, but I’m Rosalie Oscura, champion underground cage-fighter and alpha werewolf from the infamous Oscura Clan. My family wrote the book on criminal organizations, and I’ll be ruling this place by the time the next moon rises. Then I just need to get to work on busting us the hell out of here.

It’s not like anyone has ever held my interest very long anyway. Not until three delectable, mysterious, and frustratingly persistent men show up in my life and completely throw it off course. It was only supposed to be a one-time thing with each of them, but no matter how hard I try to stay away, we keep getting thrown together.

When my family died at the hands of a demon prince, I hung up my exorcist hat. I’d failed to protect them, and while I was willing to risk myself, the price had risen too high. Now I’m serving up hot, fresh pizzas to everyone who wants them. I was the only person left to inherit the family business, and I’m doing my best to keep it up and running in honor of my loved ones. These days, my biggest challenge is telling off a rampaging customer, and endless paperwork. That is, until he shows up again.

Publisher's Summary
Everyone wants to give in to temptation, but no one wants to pay the price.
I was a child when my father surrendered me to the Temple of All Gods. No one gave me a choice. No one even bothered to explain. I was simply tossed aside, unwanted.
That was the day the God of Temptation claimed me as his.
Now, I'm studying how to become the perfect priestess. Life in the temple means embracing my emotions and learning to harness each type of desire. Power, fear, lust, and rage are the most common, but not the only ones. Each has a power. Each has its place. I just have to figure out which kind of priestess I'll become.
Before I decide, I have questions, yet no one seems willing to give me answers. My only option is to leave it in my god's hands. This won't be easy, and my instructors think I'm a fool, but Temptation has been listening. Asking. Offering it all.
In exchange, he intends to use me.
I have demands. The priest and priestess who took me in have become my family. The guys? They taught me to love. How am I supposed to give this up? Why should I? Not even a god can make me walk away from them! All I have to do is stand my ground.
In this temple, there's always a temptation. The question is if I'm stubborn enough to resist...or brave enough to pay a god's price.
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.

I need the other books!
Excellent story and extremely original plot. For bibliophiles like me… that’s saying A LOT
The one and only drawback I had was the age of the characters and then describing their sexual exploits in detail. That rubbed me the wrong way. I understand it was needed to create context and background for the characters… but I still kind of felt like a pedophile.
Other than that (which was only a few times not the whole book) this book is phenomenal. Such depth behind each character and the storyline flows smoothly.

Love is love!
As someone who doesn't follow a typical path, I appreciate how this book approaches love and relationships! It took a bit to get use to the forward writing style but in the end it was one of my favorite aspects! The love shared between the main character and he guys is fascinating and encouraging for those who think what they feel is wrong. I hope they continue to do the other books in the series because I need to know more!

Exceeded expectations!!
As someone who has read this book multiple times- I had very high expectations for the audiobook. I was curious how the narrators would capture all of the emotion I felt while reading. It exceeded all of my expectations!!
This is an incredible first book in The Path of Temptation series! We get to meet Nari, and grow with her while she goes through all of her initial schooling in the temple of temptation. This story keeps you completely captivated while you go through all of the learning, growing, discovery, & struggles that are faced and handled along the way. The foundation that has been laid with Nari and her guys and her found family in this book leaves you excited and ready for book 2!

Excellent storytelling with compelling characters The MC and her 5 guys provide an intimate point of view. My only complaint was there was too much buildup to the finale. Also thought the FF aspects of the plot were not developed enough despite being constantly referenced throughout. Still enjoyed this listen with great narration.

Great story & great narration
This is one of my favourite series by Auryn Hadley, and I was delighted when it was announced it was being made into an audiobook. The wide variety of characters in these stories are complex, and the narrators bring them to life exceedingly well in this portrayal.
Set in the fictional city of Calseth, this book is the first in a series that follows one very special girl as she becomes a priestess and strives to save her god. It has some steamy moments, some funny moments, but is at it’s heart a story about love and the different kinds of love there are - sexual, familial, and romantic.
I look forward to the rest of the series coming out!
