    About this audiobook

    Denver, 1869

    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?

    Editor's Note

    Sensual and poignant…

    Molly O'Keefe’s “Into the Wild” series continues with “Tempted,” another book about rebuilding oneself after suffering trauma. Set in the post-Civil War West, the hero is a former soldier who was held in the infamous Andersonville prison who can't bear being touched. The heroine is a fiercely independent woman who's finding her place as the assistant to a doctor. Their romance is gritty, difficult, sensual, and poignant.

      Excellent writing and narrating! I normally stop listening when crued language is used, but this was "tastefully" done and necessary for the story.

      It has been a while since I listened to or read a historical western, and it took me a bit to get back into the ebb and flow of it. Once I did, I remembered how much I truly loved them! This is post civil war Denver and Annie and Steven have a previous connection. I hadn’t read the previous book, and it was easy to get to know them without that information. The sadness and despair of the situation they are both in is beautifully conveyed in the narration. The words that tell their story keep you riveted as it unfolds. The affection and care they have for each other is evident and being with them as they discover how to express and share it was beautiful!

      Great book dealing with war and the ravages of what it does to people. Was a good look at broken people being made whole again by the miracle of love. Really enjoyed the book

      Love it or hate it, Molly o' Keefe writes about human emotions with such vivid description that their pain and determination becomes your own. I enjoyed the first book, Seduced, but this book had the raw, emotional turmoil that gripped me to want to keep on reading.
