Monsters are real…and that monster is my father.

Ten years ago, I surrendered. I thought I was doing the right thing. But lies and greed have once again destroyed my life, leaving me to deal with the aftermath.

This life has always been a curse, but the world as I know it has changed. Belfast isn’t what it used to be.

Alliances are broken. Kingdoms have fallen. But those who remain loyal see me as their rightful king.

With secrets unraveled, my need for vengeance grows stronger every day. However, ten years is a long time. People have changed. I have changed. But the one thing that remains untouched is my love for Babydoll—I love her…even if she doesn’t feel the same.

I will take back what’s mine.

My kingdom.

My name.

And my girl.

Every monster is scared of somethin’…and that somethin’ is me.

No more hiding in the shadows because I’m huntin’ you…Father.

Run, wee monsters, run.

What I thought about Into Temptation

Punky is back!  And he's full of feeling of revenge and setting things right after the many betrayals he experienced (and keeps experiencing!)  The only thing that hasn't changed after after ten years in prison is his feelings for Babydoll. And wow, there were some situations there that I did not expect.

It's hard to talk about this book and this series without spoiling so I'm going to keep this short.  A lot happens in Into Temptation and there are plenty of surprises, plenty of action and plenty of Punky to keep the story moving along at a lovely pace where you just want to take the day and read the whole book in one sitting. I love stories that grab you right away and make you want to ditch all the work just so you can find out what happens!  Monica James does a great job of crafting a story that isn't stale and holds your interest.  

 The star of this book is all Punky as he continues to learn secrets about his family and what has been happening with the feuds of the past. His connection with Babydoll is strong and passionate, but his focus is on revenge so we get to see the street-wise brawler in him too as he sets his plans in motion.

Into Temptation starts with Punky's release from prison and takes off like a shot right away and doesn't let go until it leaves you hanging with more revelations as readers wait for the third installment in this trilogy.  I loved the authentic Irish dialect in Into Temptation -- it's unlike any I've read and it stands out along with the interesting characters and story.  Definitely recommended if you like dark romance.
