Tempted by Her Innocent Kiss by Maya Banks

Tempted by Her Innocent Kiss is most definitely my favorite out of the Pregnancy & Passion series thus far. Reading anything with unrequited love in it has always been one of my weaknesses. I truly sympathize with Ashley in here because while Devon went into his marriage knowing it was a business arrangement with no rules saying that he should love her, Ashley whole-heartedly loved him and wanted to marry him because he was the man that she chosed. This third installment by Maya Banks was heartbreaking and very emotional like the last two but I actually felt a connection in this one. I hated how Ash had to find out about the truth during her honeymoon, after she got married for heaven's sake! That was really cruel.

Ever since the beginning, we've known first hand that Devon married not for love. He married Ashley due to a business arrangement in order for his company to merge in with her father's. Only... the end result was definitely not what he expected. I honestly believe that Devon started to fall in love with Ashley little by little without even realizing it. When she found out that their marriage was a farce, he repeatedly told her that he never wanted to hurt her. But is lying to someone truly a way to start a relationship? No, absolutely not. When Ashley starts changing her personality to become "the perfect wife" in regards to Devon's ideal, things take a turn for the worst.

In the end, to win back a woman's love and trust, there can only be one solution: you either grovel and beg for her forgiveness, you show her you love her and that you can't live without her, OR you can do both! Which is why, Devon Carter wins the title for Best Grovelling so far... and you shall see! Overall, I definitely recommend this series for anyone who loves Maya Banks, drama, romance, and some good old fashion grovelling! Last but not least:
