Haunted by a kiss.

With his destructive marriage behind him, Ryan Bennett can no longer deny his insatiable attraction to the one woman in control of his future. He needs her. Craves her. She’s the only glimpse of happiness through the building drama in his life and yet one drunken kiss has pushed her further away.

Tormented by what’s at stake.

Leah Gorman’s management contract states she can never act on her feelings for any members of the Reckless Beat band but Ryan has always owned her heart. No matter how long he’s held her captive with his deep soul and easy friendship, he’s off limits. End of story. If only her heart would get the memo. She can’t resist him. Even when their attraction gets in the way of her job.

The price of love is high. Is it worth the cost?
With Leah’s career on the line and Ryan’s reputation in tatters, ignoring their attraction may prove safer than risking everything they hold dear. They have to decide what matters most—their years of friendship, or a chance at love that will destroy them both if they can’t make it work.

Undeniable Temptation certainly pulled the emotion out of me! To begin with I was excited, knowing that Leah and Ryan were finally able to get together! But of course, Eden Summers managed to throw in a few twists to make it difficult for that to happen. So the emotional rollercoaster began as as they both battled with their feelings for the good of the band, despite the undeniable chemistry between them.

Leah had been the glue that had kept the band together. She kept things running smoothly and would make sure the guys were doing what needed to be done. I've seen some carefree sides to her, but she was all serious and determined during this book, but she was constantly hurting too. She had to watch on as Ryan seemed to be in a relationship with someone new. I missed the Leah I've read about in the novellas, the spirited girl, getting piercings and tattoos.

Ryan, he was always the married dependable guy in the group, but his life had been turned upside down. He knew his relationship with Julie was over, and all he wanted to do was move on and explore his feelings for Leah. When their record company came to them with a scandal ultimatum, he decided to take one for the team and took on the challenge.

It was a tough road for these two as outside forces manipulated them. I just wanted them to get together, because I knew they were meant to be. It was sad to see them both struggling emotionally, and everyone around them knew that they wanted to be together. But when Leah and Ryan finally hit the sheets, there were years of built up passion that they had tried to keep suppressed, so oh boy, was it hot!

Eden Summers wrapped this story up superbly, and I was excited to see that there were some threads left open that will allow us back into this world at some stage. I was glad that all the characters made appearances throughout the story, and we could see how their relationships were strengthening. It was a frustrating, but perfect way to end the series as these two strong individuals finally found the love and life they deserved.

Oh Ryan... you make me swoon!

“I’m going to tell you there’s only one person I’m interested in. That there’s only ever been one person capable of making me happy.” He removed the last foot of space between them, backing her against the cement wall. “And you know it’s you.”
