Synopsis (Goodreads):
Denver, 1869Thoughts on Tempted: Oh, man. Annie and Steven were both so...actually, I can't even say they were both broken. Steven certainly was. The war left its mark on him and, as much as he might want to, he's unable to step out of his protective shell. Until Annie needs him to, that is.
Annie Denoe has fought hard for her independence. She has a new life and new freedom as the assistant to a doctor, and though she risks both propriety and her safety, she is determined to be happy in a life on her own.
Steven Baywood is trying to rebuild his shattered life, even though the ghosts of his harrowing stay in Andersonville prison still haunt him. He craves Annie and her quiet strength, but he can't give her the love she deserves. When a tragedy changes everything for Annie, can Steven find peace with his past in order to give Annie a future?
On the other hand, Annie is fiercely independent. FIERCELY. While she might intellectually understand Steven's issues, she's also out of her element when it comes to dealing with them. Good thing there's a wise, kind-hearted but still tough as nails madam in town willing to share her experience. That sounds a little sordid. It's not. I meant her experience with men dealing with the aftermath of the war. Delilah has her own demons and she's kind enough to help Annie and Steven out when they need it.
This isn't Delilah's story, though. Annie and Steven have to figure out how to make things work. When a man is physically unable to stand being touched, that makes things a wee bit difficult. It isn't until Annie survives a terrible incident and her fierce shell cracks that Steven finds the strength to push forward despite his own fears.
This series is seriously good. Gritty. Sometimes brutal. But still hopeful. Annie and Steven are just so...good together. You know, once they actually get together. *thumbs up*
