About this listen
Maria Gomez married her lover's brother to give the baby she carried the name and future she deserved. Now she is widowed, and her oldest child's father - the only man she ever loved - has returned.
In prison for a crime he didn't commit, Jefferson Bay never forgot the beautiful woman who betrayed him with his own brother. When DNA evidence proved Jeff's innocence years later and he was released, he vowed to find Maria and seek his revenge.
The passion between the two has never died, but can they learn to trust each other again?

Pretty good for a wholesome farm girl from Kansas trying to make it in Boston. Life may not be easy working for a diva, but at least I know what to expect.

Edward Fasbender is a devil. He's my father's biggest rival. He takes what he wants, and he bows to no one. And now Edward Fasbender wants me. I didn't expect to want him back. Having him is not in the cards, not when a union with him would destroy my father. But that doesn't mean I can't play with him a bit. Except, I've never played against such a ruthless opponent. Edward is cold and vicious, and my blood has never run hotter. They say you should choose the devil you know, but I've always preferred long odds. Even if it'll get me slain.

I didn’t know Raphael Amado when he turned up on our doorstep demanding restitution for an old debt. My grandfather knew him well, though, and he quickly conceded. That restitution? Me. Six months later, Raphael came to claim me. He took me from my home, taking me to his Tuscan estate, where from the crumbling chapel to the destroyed vineyard to that dark cellar, the past stalked him like a shadow. Even the walls held secrets here, and I’d need to uncover them all to survive.

Great Read
Tantalizing Maria (The Temptation Saga #7) was another great read by Helen Hardt. Maria Gomez married the brother of the man that she loved. She did this to give the baby she carried the name and future she wanted her to have. She is now widowed and the only man she ever loved has returned. Jefferson Bay was in prison for a crime that he didn't commit. He never forgot Maria who betrayed him with his brother. DNA evidence proved that Jeff was innocent many years later and he was released. He made it his mission to find Maria and get his revenge. I really enjoyed reading Maria and Jeff's story and can't wait to read more by Helen Hardt.

Really did love how it turned out but I was sad that as so often in life it is done, a path of rushed decision made a mess of things. With that said, I say this is a story worth reading.

I loved to hear the backstory between Jeff and Maria. The flashbacks were great to understand the decisions they made. There was a really sweet, touching, non-sexual moment between Jeff and Maria that made my heart melt.

Why the he'll didn't it come out that Jeff didn't kill the security guy. The Brother knew. As an author you put this Character through such BS and DON'T clear him is disgusting...

Good Series. Love Helen Hardt
Like the series. Narrator, not so good. She speaks with clarity but not good w. emotions and sex scenes sound weird. She didn't voice the scenes that you believe what is happening to make you feel what the characters are feeling. Last book was my favorite. Although, 2-5 are also my favorites. I enjoyed the 1st one, but definitely the ones that followed were more interesting. Amber story was very good and Maria & Jeff's was the best. We can learn what happened in the past that made these two characters take their decisions. But everyone deserves a second chance, 💜 and Jeff paid 30 years for his decisions. I felt for him and wished Maria had taken a better decision too but she was 18yo and no body is perfect. At least, they got their happy ending and she acted w. courage when the moment came and safe both of them lives.

Best book in the series
Love all the twists and turns and going from present to 30 years ago. Brilliant to put this book 5th in the series. I’m surprised by the negative reviews. The first book of course was fantastic and this one brought the whole story and and all the characters full circle.
