Vlad and Leila return in the second book of the Night Prince series by Jeaniene Frost. In TWICE TEMPTED, things get soured quickly and the previously happy couple of Vlad and Leila are suddenly on the rocks when misunderstanding, expectations and miscommunication clash.

Leila is one of my favorite heroines. She has a spine of steel and when placed in difficult situations, she always knows how to handle herself. However, in this book, she becomes so shattered by the events that occur that she has some lapses in judgment. She allows her emotions to get the best of her and it showcases her vulnerabilities as a character. I loved seeing this more emotional side to her.

Vlad is as Alpha has ever in this book. He is the ultimate bad boy and although he remains true to his character in this book, I also missed some of his usual wit and possessiveness in this one. Again, emotions play into their actions and what Vlad and Leila overcome in this book definitely strengthens their bond for the future, creating a strong romance to go from here.

Frost pens such eloquent and engaging first-person narrations. Her authorial voice is ideal for Urban Fantasy and Romance and in TWICE TEMPTED, she fully exposes her immense talent. The pacing is absolute perfection. There is no stalling whatsoever and the action and sweet moments definitely had me grinning from ear to ear. Once I started this book, I found it very hard to stop. I read it so quickly that when it was over, I simply needed more. The wait for the next book is excruciating.
