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.

I flippen loved this book the audio book was amazing I have been hooked since it began. I can't wait to listen to the next one. I love the journey it takes me on from childhood all the way to young adult and doesn't skimp on any details or journeys there are no questions left unanswered after a chapter but there is the need to keep going just to hear what will happen next... LOVE LOVE LOVE...

From reading the description and looking at the front cover, I put off listening to this book for a few months. Finally I ran out or gave up looking for free books that I just clicked on what I had sat in my list, which was this book.

I think its best to ignore the description. In a nut shell, parents are having too many kids and selling them off once they reach 10yrs, to a temple that houses all their gods. One girl becomes special and gains her own entourage. Powerful men in high places become threatened by her specialness and plot against them.

These are not stand alone books, they are a continued series featuring the same main characters. I am very excited to start book 2. They are long books, but so far, i've not been bored. Im enjoying the journey and would recommend.

Above expectations
