About this listen

Everyone wants to give in to temptation, but no one wants to pay the price.

I was a child when my father surrendered me to the Temple of All Gods. No one gave me a choice. No one even bothered to explain. I was simply tossed aside, unwanted.

That was the day the God of Temptation claimed me as his.

Now, I'm studying how to become the perfect priestess. Life in the temple means embracing my emotions and learning to harness each type of desire. Power, fear, lust, and rage are the most common, but not the only ones. Each has a power. Each has its place. I just have to figure out which kind of priestess I'll become.

Before I decide, I have questions, yet no one seems willing to give me answers. My only option is to leave it in my god's hands. This won't be easy, and my instructors think I'm a fool, but Temptation has been listening. Asking. Offering it all.

In exchange, he intends to use me.

I have demands. The priest and priestess who took me in have become my family. The guys? They taught me to love. How am I supposed to give this up? Why should I? Not even a god can make me walk away from them! All I have to do is stand my ground.

In this temple, there's always a temptation. The question is if I'm stubborn enough to resist...or brave enough to pay a god's price.

The Path of Temptation series features a strong woman and the men who love her. It's intended for a mature audience due to graphic language, adult situations, and potentially triggering violence.

Worth the listen

It’s no secret that I’m an Auryn fan. This story is just the beginning of an epically good series. If possible I’d give more than 5 stars.

Bring. On book Two!

Excellent storytelling with compelling characters The MC and her 5 guys provide an intimate point of view. My only complaint was there was too much buildup to the finale. Also thought the FF aspects of the plot were not developed enough despite being constantly referenced throughout. Still enjoyed this listen with great narration.

Temptation

This audiobook is *chef's kiss*. The narrators do an excellent job giving these characters life. The world building is exquisite and I just want to savour every moment I spend in this amazing universe.

Fantastic!

Wow! Temptation! Such a unique storyline and one hard to explain without kinda rolling your eyes. It’s the relationships, true friends, mentors, strong females, protectors with zero conflicts. Multiple POV. Honesty is out there so the love and friendship is easy. The narrators were excellent.
I get a lot books but have had terrible luck. This one going through my library authors. I listened to this authors Wolf series that was entertaining.

Entire Series Review!!

I literally have no words for this series other than it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! I usually go for dark romance or RH type books with a high level of spice. This series had it all! Nari and her men along with all the chosen plus the gods, it literally kept me guessing the entire way through. The steamy sexy scene were detailed and super NSFW. This series is a completely new take on relationships and the journey people take through the temple of temptation. We got Lots and I mean LOTS of sex. MF, MMMF, MM, BDSM, heavy on the M part of that last one. People get hurt in this series but others love even harder!!! I also will say the entire devotion to a God and choosing a Path then getting marked part was sooo unique to me. I enjoyed the other temples characters as much as the main one! Lace, Swatches or Markings the entire system of diving into gods tears was divine! Dont wait start this series now!!!
