Tempting Auzed by Victoria Aveline
5.0
4.5/5 ⭐️s
I love, love, love a fake dating trope, and this definitely delivered!
Auzed and Alejandra aren’t necessarily eager to be “fake betrothed” to each other, despite their attraction. Both have incredibly good reasons for not wanting to explore it further while also needing to maintain their charade, and I think the high stakes for both of them is what made this work so well.
I loved both characters and thought Auzed’s surly demeanor and intense need to follow the rules was tempered well by Alex’s more easy-going and friendly personality. They are grumpy/sunshine at its best!
*Edit*
I can’t believe I forgot to rave about their ✨first time✨! Well, not technically their FIRST time, but it’s THE time, and Y’all. The tension leading up to it was PHENOMENAL. The build-up combined with the knowing…you could’ve snapped that tension in half. So. Good!
Spice: 2.75/5
