Big Easy Temptation can be read as a standalone but center around the Perfect Gentleman series. I have been reading this series from the start. Each book center's around its own character, you don't have to start from the beginning but i would recommended it. Your missing out on an entire series of awesomeness. Big Easy Temptation centers around Dax and Holland's story.

One kiss has left this to with one lasting impression. But this two can't seem to align themselves together. It seems as if the powers that be is working against them. Dax and Holland's have an extreme connection and attraction. One unfortunate turn of events have this two pulled apart for years.

Holland, confident, smart, strong and independent is now focusing on her career. Dax want to prove to everyone that his father never committed suicide. With Holland assigned to the case they will work together to find the truth.

Loved this book, the characters, the mystery elements in the book. There was twist and turn every turn of the page. The love read about Dax and Holland relationship, we get a bit of there past and begin to see what happening years later. With the dual POV we get both point of view. Everything about this book will have you wanting to read more. This is a great series.

Lexi Blake and Shayla Black are just about my favorite writing duo - they have to be to create a series that just ended up on the my list of "Wish I had started this one after ALL the books were out" - A list with a single series on it - The Perfect Gentlemen because it is the only series that has continuing ARC - which means that while HEAs are the norm for each book but the suspense is on going which means that whole mystery ISN'T solved until all the characters get their HEAs - which is so damn frustrating, let me tell you!

"It was so funny that he’d come to New Orleans thinking that he could get back at her. Now he only wanted to get her back."

Six guys went to the same prep school together, Gabe, Dax, Connor, Zach, Roman and Maddox (Mad). This is Dax's story.

The story of Dax and Holland picks up where Scandal Never Sleeps leaves off - with Dax going back to the one woman who made him feel alive and the one woman who almost destroyed him.

First told in flashbacks, we get to see the fledgling relationship between Dax and Holland blossom - Holland being the a friend of the now deceased First Lady and Dax being the friend of the now President of USA.

Dax ropes in Holland, a DEA agent in trying to find out the truth behind the scandalous suicide of his father - which with the evidence he refuses to believe in.

And Holland being her, she jumps right in and then jump at each other :D

But with forces beyond their imaginations at play, they are ripped apart, with Dax committing the biggest mistake of his life the next day!

“You’re the woman for me. I’ve never forgotten you, not once since the moment we met."

This is the type of Second Chance romance that I ADORE to read - although the angst is even too emotional even for me to handle.

Dax is the typical Alpha Male that I have come to adore from this writing duo - honestly I could NOT find even a single problem with him and believe me, I really looked.

Holland, again is the strong female character that only someone with his duo's caliber could write - she is independent, strong and intelligent. While she adores her Dax, it doesn't mean that she isn't willing to do everything in her power to protect him - and the decision she made, every agonizing minute of her reaching that decision, I could feel.

But the BEST PART in this book? The fact that the moment they are reunited, the main reason for their misunderstandings (or rather, Dax's!) is now out in the open and all they need to do is work back on their issues, while trying to stay alive, to Ground Zero: Their Love <3
Perfectly done, indeed :D

"Even when I was pissed as hell at you, I still knew that you were the center of my world. You have been since the day I met you."

Perfect addition to this series, and has the right amount of mystery unveiled, to keep me invested in the series.

Which goes to show, that this was definitely written by MASTERS (or is it MISTRESSES?)

Oh man.... I didn't think Shayla and Lexi could get any better than what the first 2 books in this series gave us.
But I was so wrong.

This book comes out with even more sexy steam to offer.
And such great characters.
I loved the story line this book had to offer, and like many of both authors books typically do tome.... This one sucked me in and left me not being able to put it down.
Plus what could make a more perfect setting than New Orleans?
I know everyone says the city isn't all it's cracked up to be.
But come on. At least in my fictional books it makes a great setting to host a great story like this one.

So good! Sexy and fun! Great characters with steamy chemistry. Built on the ongoing plot from the series well. Great series!

This book was not for me. I have not read the others in the series and I don't see myself doing so. I read to chapter five and felt the story just drug. I just couldn't find a reason to keep reading
