Bad boy Kaidan Rowe has never wanted for anything—money, popularity, musical talent…hot girls—but seducing them is part of his duty as a Nephilim, slave to the demon Dukes. As the son of the Duke of Lust, Kaidan has learned his father’s ways, becoming a master of passion, a manipulator of chemistry. Disobeying his father would mean certain death. Thankfully for Kaidan, he’s good at his job. And he enjoys it.

Until he meets Anna Whitt—smart, feisty, and inexplicably good—the one girl seemingly immune to his charms. The daughter of a guardian angel and a fallen one, she makes him wish for more than he could ever deserve.

Determined to save all the Neph from their dark lives, Anna joins forces with Kaidan to overcome the Dukes’ oppressive ways. In the light of her affections, Kaidan must undergo his toughest test of all, a battle of the heart.

Sensual and swoonworthy, this companion volume to the Sweet Evil series, told from the perspective of the mysterious Kaidan Rowe, gives readers revealing insights into the true emotions that drive him.

I was waiting for this book for what felt like forever, and then college started, and bam! It was September 8th. I have ordered a signed copy, but since I forgot to have them send it to me at school, I got the eBook because I couldn’t wait. I’ve been wanting to get into Kaidan Rowe’s head and see what he thought of his and Anna’s adventure since the originally trilogy ended. I especially wanted to know his take on Sweet Peril and Sweet Reckoning… oh, who am I kidding? I wanted his take on the whole thing!). And Wendy Higgins didn’t disappoint.

Though I did expect it to be dirtier, given all the disclaimers she gave. I pointed it out on twitter, and she aptly reminded me that though Kai isn’t PG-13, the YA category mostly is. Oh, well. I think it’s too much to ask for an explicit version of Sweet Temptation, but I already want to hear more about their post-trilogy life. We get a bit more from Kai than Anna after Sweet Reckoning, but not enough to satisfy my insatiable fangirl hunger for this couple.

Anyway, if it isn’t clear yet, I give this book 5 Stars. And my aura is probably still red from reading this hot book.
