Does this book focus on men's POV or not because the pages I've read focus on Cat and Sahara's POVs. I wish the author made the characters more realistic and focused more on the development of the plot, maybe insisting on those paranormal elements like that strange blue mist. Thanks for your review!

Good review. It showed the pros and cons of the book. But, for sure, this one's not for me.

I don't think I am interested in what sounds like a tangent off Hunger Games. We are to believe this is set system in some future, yet the character's first words are that she never believed she'd be in an arranged marriage. I appreciate the reviewer's sensitivity to other plot improbabilities. Thanks for a good review.

It has an imaginative premise. It's horrid to think of a society where the government takes the marital decisions for its citizens. I like how precise and well-executed your review is. Thanks for the review.

I thought I saw another book here on BOTD? I feel like that other one was better. When love is structured by the government is something you want to know how can this be made possible. An imagination that deserves a BOTD. Good review.

Temptation Trials Rebellion by B. Truly is a #Dystopian novel combined with #Romance, #Paranormal, #Occult, and #Love. This book features Catalina (a Temptress who hopes to save his brother) and Sahara (a Tempress whom the regime promised to wipe her slate clean).

I have read the Temptation Trials I & II from this author. I'm glad this book is free. I will definitely read this one.

Thanks for the review.

What I liked most about this book was that the writing seemed very professional. I also liked how interesting the storyline was, and I kept wanting to read more to see how it would end.
This review gives me a real thrill getting to see the theme of this book. judging by this, I would love to read this book.
I really feel that the writer moved fast, that is "when you flip a page, few weeks has passed..." simply because of the theme of the book since it had a story and considering the characters, each day could not have been detailed out, since there has to be an end to the story.

This book sounds like one of those books one can not overlook. I wouldo definitely add it to my want to read list. I would love to know if I could make it in a society where the government chooses a wife for me. Great review.

I like dystopian novels, but I'm not really in the mood for a romance at the moment. Maybe if the characters were to stay loyal to the ones they're fighting to marry, I might be more interested, but I fear that with a title like "Temptation Trials" at least a couple of them will be, well, tempted otherwise. I'll keep it on my list anyway for when I'm more in the mood for romance, since I rarely like to reject books out of hand. Thank you for the helpful review.

A world where marriage to a random person is forced on someone sounds quite harsh. I hope the main characters can defy this setting. I'd like to read this book.

For some reason my earlier comment never posted? Going to quickly restate it here since it's been a long day and I want my entries:

I think the overall plot and setting of the book are very unique and interesting, however I myself am not a fan of sexually explicit content and so this book may very well not be for me. I am also worried that the plot will move too fast, something that makes it dificult for me to feel immersed into a work of literature.

Thank you for your thorough review!

This really looks like a nice book. The fact that a page-flip means weeks and months make it look like a quick read. Thanks for the review.
