This book was quite literally the definition of Porn Without Plot. I mean, seriously. Every two pages there was a sex scene. Don't get me wrong, the sex scenes were seriously fab, but I can only take so much!

The characters of Tempting the Beast fell very flat for me. There was no real depth added to any of them and I remember next to nothing about the characters other than Callan had a massive dick with a weird barb thing that was often described as a thumb (that weirded me the hell out, not even going to lie) and Merinus (jesus, fuck that name really bothered me) loved it. Also, I totally had to look up those names because I couldn't remember them if my life depended on me.

There was also no story whatsoever. Merinus is supposed to be studying the pride of genetically mutated cat-people for her siblings so they can bring the organization responsible for the cat-peoples cat-ness to the public's attention. When she spies Callan

masturbating

through her binoculars it's lust at first sight. The two somehow meet and end up hooking up, which causes some sort of chemical reaction that causes the two of them to NEED TO HAVE SEX AT LEAST ONCE EVERY HOUR. And that was basically how the rest of the novel went. I'm not even kidding, I have no real memory of what happened other than sex. The only reason that I gave this 3 stars was because the sex scenes were just enough to salvage the trainwreck.

And after writing this review, I've removed this book from at least 3 of my shelves. I would not recommend. Unless you like Porn Without Plot, in which case you will love this book.
