Not for the faint of heart: Tempting Victoria by Mina V. Esguerra

Too hot!

Sizzling hot!

Nathan Grant's and Victoria Bennett's romance escapade is not for the faint of heart, and I would not recommend this book for humans under 21 years old, both for males and females. 

Tempting Victoria is a new adult novella written by Filipino author Mina V. Esguerra. I already read some of her books and most of them are sweet and clean romance. The best read I got from her works is That Kind of Guy, and finishing Tempting Victoria made me think that her style did mature as time passes by. It is a short read with a bonus story Kissing Day, about Chris and Diana.

Not so long ago, I made a rule that I would not, temporarily, read books with sexual tensions. After almost a year, the rule expired this week. I needed an ice breaker as I read Paulo Coelho's book set. Following Dear Alex, We're Dating. Tama, Mali?! Love, Catherine, Tempting Victoria is my second break. 

Just like any other books I read from Mina V. Esguerra, I enjoyed reading Nathan's and Victoria's romance. There's a lot of teasing, kissing, and sex, and they could not deny the physical attraction between them. I just sighed whenever they gave in to their desires. The female lead, Victoria Bennett, is projected as someone who is capable and in control of her choices in life, but not until when it comes to falling for our male lead, Nathan Grant, he, on the other hand, is a chic magnet and who loves to have sex with women whom he finds attracted to him. 

Vic tried to deny Nathan, but she just could not do that. How is that even be possible? I kid you not.

Get a copy of the book, if you want to more about how they end up together despite all her rejections and denial. I was surprised Nathan did not give up on her. And again read this, if only you are 21 years old and above, and you are not faint-hearted, alright?   
 
Though I would prefer it if they got married first, before doing it, and I know how primitive my idea is, but that is just a thought from me.
