Week 43 Reviews: Ivory, Temptress


From Goodreads:
An ice princess. A jaguar shifter.

She's a flight attendant who wants nothing to do with super heroes. Hiding her ice powers. Hiding from her family. Hiding is a full-time job, but Ivory can only suppress her inner warrior if she wants to keep the normal life she's built from nothing.

He's a career hero and a member of the legendary Manhattan Ten. Tall, dark, and shifter, the concrete jungle is his playground. Jag takes nothing seriously until Ivory tempts his inner predator.

Can he melt the stone-cold goddess?

It's love at first fight in the first volume of the Manhattan Ten Series.

From Goodreads:
A seductress. A super brain.

She's an indie operative who only works alone, stealing other super heroes' powers with a kiss and bringing down the bad guys. Those stolen powers add up to a crazy arsenal, but Temptress isn't built for super strength and shooting laser beams. Her body is falling apart and a teensy mission slip-up gets her tangled with the Manhattan Ten.

He's the M10's leader. The man, the myth, the Mensa-conquering legend. Nothing escapes Thinktank's calculations… Until a run-in with Temptress leaves him powerless. Superpowers stolen with a kiss can only be returned with a kiss.

Natural enemies can only get closer. And closer. And closer…

It's love at first fight in the second volume of the Manhattan Ten series.

My Review:
I had a really great time reading these books! This world with these powers and shifters, was really interesting, and with the Manhattan Ten, I wanted to know more about them and their romances, and the ladies that they fall in love with...man, they were fantastic!

This cover design for the revamped series, which was original published in 2013, and books 1 and 2 were switched in publication order, look so great! I love the neon colours and the symbols that are associated with each book! They look stylish and are what drew me in to read the synopsis! 

I really enjoyed Val and Jag. She's been running from her past, and he's a shifter who is usually pretty chill. They were a fantastic couple, watching him get her to let down her walls, while there was also superhero stuff going on, was so entertaining to read! 

Jenny, or "Tempress" had an interesting ability, to take other people's powers with a kiss. And she uses it for good, but she's looked down upon. When she takes Tank's, a good guy, well, things get really complicated. I really enjoyed their dynamics, as he learned some things aren't black and white!  

Loved reading these books and I can't wait to continue!
