Dylan Allen knocked it OUT OF THE PARK!!

Carter and Beth's story is fantastic, it runs the gamut of emotion from love to hate, and back again, and DAMN the sex is HOT!!

Carter is the quintessential rock God with all the screwed up past, demons hiding in plain sight, and stunted emotional growth that so often seems to come with these amazing men. And yet, to simply label him those things is to miss huge pieces of him as a person, he's worth so much more than all those would suggest.

Elizabeth has grown up hiding in plain sight. All she knows is everyone she loves leaves, and for whatever reason her father hates her. She can't find peace because no matter what else might happen, her father insists she ruined his life, and he's apparently determined to make her pay for it.

This book is an epic battle of will they, or won't they, forbidden love, with me wanting to take both characters and most of the side characters to task from time to time. A lot of the characters in this book from the very beginning are toxic, but I firmly believe it's because of the lies that have been told to them or will be told to them over the course of their lives. How can we expect anyone to grow as a person when they don't know the truth  of their past, and the truth of their future is being hidden from them?

I'm absolutely floored by Dylan's ability to take a book that spans decades, and includes so many pieces, and gives us the beauty of her love for language, the depth of the scenery in East Texas and New York, and her love for giving us the best romance only she can write! 

5 gorgeous star's for The Sound of Temptation, it is firmly in my top 20 must reads for 2021!!
