It would be refreshing to know the men's POV in this dystopian romance. This is not my usual go-to novel but I'll give it a try. Thanks for the review!

Solid review. Unfortunately, dystopian romance books aren't my taste. I'll pass this one. Thank you for the fine review.

Thanks for the honest review! Although not very keen on dystopian novels, the concept of a reality show to dictate the course of (love)life sounds intriguing to me. I admire that the relationships were slow-moving and the plot included twists. I am going to give this a try.

Thanks for the insightful review. I like the way you summarized the book, I think it's an interesting book, the events in the book does seem like a real aftermath of WWIII if it comes.

As a fan of the hunger games this book and series seems definitely right up my alley. It is an intriguing concept and you summarized the plot points very well.

The story of the book appears to be some what different with dystopia romance and fictitious setting of after World War III a new regime, controlled by World Dictator Lutheran Eminence comes up. Interesting to see that they ban many forms of entertainment to keep society safe.Tobias and Kincade, who work for secret agency to uncover real agenda of the regime are on the verge of turning twenty.They have tough decision to make, either they have to cave to the Regime’s compulsion on arranged marriage or fight for their relationships.

Nothing to me, beats a quick escape into a dystopian world. I am usually enamoured by the richness of these world's.
I believe Tobias and Cade have enough going for them to make this a worthwhile read. Congrats to the author on #BOTD

Goodness...a reality TV show to depict the challenges of love and a secret organization working to uncover the secrets of the new Regime? Hopefully, Tobias and Cade can make the right decision! It's interesting that the author decided to rewrite the story in the man's POV. Too bad that not all of your questions were answered and that you had a difficult time with the writing style. I don't think I even understand what “Those outbursts really got the throng crunk.” means...sorry that the story didn't flow well either. However, I'm glad you like this unique Dystopian world and that you found the romance to be developed well. I'm not a fan of graphic sex scenes, so I don't think this is for me, but I'm glad you enjoyed this one even with its errors and areas of improvement! Thank you for sharing!

I have Temptation Trials Part II with me but haven't been able to read it yet. So now, I think I will try out Temptation Trials Part I first before going ahead with book II.

I dunno but this sounds like Hunger Games in a man's POV. But I love urban fantasy and dystopian books so I might give this a try. Kudos!

I might have liked the dystopian elements in the novel, but the narrative itself is much too simplistic and schematic and so are the dialogues and descriptions. Both the courthouse scene and the party in chapter 2 have no genuine substance and the idea of the Opposition guys going to a party seemed hilarious. Thanks for your detailed review, though.

Post by Sicily Joy »

Thank you for a thorough review. I enjoy reading your thoughts on the book. In reading the sample, I found that some of the expressions seemed out of place such as the use of "wack". It read like an adult writer trying too hard to sound like a young adult. But that aside, I am curious to read the rest of the story, I am especially intrigued by your theory that there may be paranormal elements.
