Twice Tempted discussion

I really enjoyed the book and i'm hoping the next in the series comes out soon. I was disappointed in so of the caracters and how they were treated, but all in all an excellent book.

Loved it!

Loved it! Loved Leila and Vald

I thought the way she became a vampire seemed kind of rushed or thrown in as an after thought. And if they were going to have that love triangle, I think I might have thrown my book at the wall. :-)

But, all in all, I really liked it and am looking forward to the next book.

I liked the book.

Since the book is entirely Leila's POV, it's hard to tell when Vlad fell in love with. We're just experiencing the whole thing through Leila.

I also liked how bad-ass and blood thirsty Leila became towards the end of the book. Vlad was afraid to show her this side of himself but it turns out that when she is seeking revenge she can torture with the best of them. LMAO :D

Loved the book. I was done before I knew it... And I love Vlad and Leila, though I was able to see through Leila's eyes how Vlad felt about her, even when she didn't. I think that as a third party we can see things the characters don't see at first.
Can't wait for the next book with Vlad and Leila, but I am excited that the next book in this world will be with Cat and Bones again, I've missed them.

Not liking it so far?! Love the author but concerned with the direction of the book.

I am sorry, I didn't like this book as much as the first one. I give this book a 2 stars. It was Leila's character that ruin the book. She was such a cool character and now she is the most annoying character in the book. She acted really immature, and she whine and acted like a brat when she didn't get her way. Vlad laid out the cards for her and told her honestly he wasn't ready to love someone. If you really love someone you don't force them into loving you and that is what she did.

I can't really say they have relationship when the relationship is very one sided and all about her. It's never really about Vlad, or them. And touching everything of his to prove to him that you can handle him, isn't handling him, it more like child who doesn't get their way.

The author could have done a better job of developing both of their characters and the relationship. I will give the third book a try, but if Leila continues to be whinny brat, I am not going to read rest of the series.

I am hoping something REALLY bad happens to Leila and makes her realize how great she has it. I won't lie I think the character should just die. Vlad needs a better woman, a woman that acts like a woman and not little girl.

I think the author should be careful not to make Leila too annoying or she'll shut off her readers. Their relationship isn't realistic. You don't getting the feeling Vlad really loves her instead it seem he'll do something to make her shut up. It's hard to believe that he would be with someone like this. I am glad that her sister slapped her, she needed it.

I loved this book. I understand the comments about Leila and I felt a little annoyed with her but over all enjoyed the book a lot.

LOVED it. I cannot wait for the third book to come out. I love Vlad. Oh my goodness

I loved it. Jeaniene Frost's ability to stay on point with a characters personality is amazing. Vlad is the same Vlad from all the other book and I love that. Leila is the same person she has always been as well. she is trying to adapt and figure Vlad's world out while trying to hold on to who she really is. She a little slow on the up take but again that is how she has always been.

How can being a whinny little girl be strong? First off, he told her in the first book he wasn't going to give his heart to her, he reminded her in the second book when she started acting like a little girl demanding that he love her, and say I love you when his actions spoke loads more than 3 words. If she was really a strong person. She would have not gotten into the relationship with him, and if she did, she would would not make a big scene. She would say "I am sorry, I thought I could do this, but I can't" But she didn't. Or she stay with him tell him she loves him and wait for him to say it when he was ready, but she didn't. What she shown in the book wasn't strength, but selfishness. She has demanded him he do this and that, and say this and that, because of her, not because of him, because of her. A strong woman doesn't do what she does only a little girl does, and if she could tell her ass from her elbow, she would have known better than forcing someone to love you when they are not ready, isn't real love. She shown a lot of character flaws in the second book and none of them was that of a strong woman, but little brat that did not get her way.

I LOVED this book. The first one was amazing, and the second one was even better. I love Jeaniene Frost, she is such a talented writer. I could read her books all day. I hope that the third one will be just as good. Loved it.

I loved the book. Of course, I have all of Jeaniene Frost's books and have not ever been disappointed. Her's are my go to books when I want something to read that makes me smile. I have read my Night Huntress books so often that I am going to need to replace them soon. Keep up the great work Jeaniene!

I totally love this book!!- cant wait for the third!!! :) LOVED IT!!!!!!

Frost wrote an amazing book with Twice Tempted. Read our review if you still can't decide. http://literatiliteraturelovers.com/2...

I really loved this book and the first one also. I can't wait for the next one to come out. I really love the way Leila demanded all of Vlad and nothing less. Now I'm impatiently waiting for the next Night Huntress novel.

love it

Not trying to change your mind about the book. Leila did annoy me as well. BUT I liked that she said - I'm not going to hang around waiting for you to get tired of me, cause I love you and that would hurt too much.

As for stopping after the 3rd book - we all will. Vlad and Leila will only be 3 books.

Fair enough, but you got to remember, Vlad already told her that he wasn't going to give his heart to her in the first and second book, knowing that, she was stupid trying to force him to love her, she knew, she knew what she what she was getting in. But no she had to whine and act like a baby. It was her fault that she fell in love with him. Just because you get married, doesn't mean going to last. Their relationship is so one-sided. She loves him like teenager loves a pop star. They don't have a relationship.

I don't see it as her trying to force him to love her. Vlad had never turned a human lover of his before, because he knew they would know he was indifferent about them (his words). Leila would have known immediately how he felt. Vlad did and does love Leila - his wife had done a number on him. He didn't believe that Leila could love him. Was she bratty about proving him wrong? Yeah. But he would have never admitted it otherwise. He'd added a bathroom for her - before she left. Thinking "She loves me, she doesn't mean this." So he was being a selfish brat as well. I don't see it as one-sided.

Trust me I've read a book where the heroine betrayed the hero every damn chance she got - no matter what he did to prove he wouldn't betray her. I was fed up with her long before the book ended and don't know why he stayed with her. Leila didn't come NEAR that. I'll see if I can find the title of that one.

I am not a big fan of this series:( Vlad is one of my favorites from the Night Huntress series but I'm not liking the Vlad and Leila love story. I felt Vlad said I love you to Leila because she left him and it's the old saying You always want the one that got away.
Or maybe I am just jealous and want Vlad all to myself;)

Aww Susan - I know folks that don't accept couples in this series. And know some folks in another that are even more violent about a pairing.

But she did force him, the mature thing to do, was not force him by saying I love you. But have him tell her, when he has those feelings for her, and is ready to say the words, what she should have done. She should have told him. "I love you. I just want you to know that. I know you're not ready. I just want you to know." Vlad is not over his first wife and Leila wants Vlad to love her like he loved his first wife. (And she is never going to be loved like that, just for the fact she is not his first wife)

And the whole bathroom thing was Stupid! She was lazy, she needs to remember whose house she is living in. She had a bathroom of her own. Why does a guy who is letting you stay in their house for free, change it just for you, because you're lazy to move your ass? Just putting a toilet (which was force on him by her) doesn't prove he loves you. And yes it was force, because she didn't stop bitching about it. Then putting the bathroom for her in his bedroom was a waste, because he turned her. Which he wasted immortality on a whinny baby.

I just don't buy their so call love. And it is one-sided, she controls it by acting like such a drama queen. And her touching everything of his, just to prove she can handle him, is not showing you can handle him, but showing how depress she is.

The author could have done a better job, this book was rushed and if there is only going to be three books, it sounds like the author has given up. There is no love between Vlad and Leila. There is no chemistry.

Leila was such a cool character in the first book, but did a Dr. Jerlys and Mr. Heid by turning into a whinny baby in the second. Vlad would do so much better with a woman who didn't mind the person that he is. and this includes his impaling ways. She doesn't even like that, because she doesn't understand his medieval thinking. She wants him to be someone he is not. This man doesn't live by modern pansy-ass ways of the world. One can't teach an old dog new tricks.

They been dating for only two months and she just expects him to say I love you? (two months is still I am getting to know you phrase.) I love you can mean nothing, when you force them onto someone. And he even try to tell her "His actions speak louder than words." And he being a man of few words, just shows his a man of action, but this is problem with a lot women, who are not confident (Leila is one of these women) If she was more confident she wouldn't get on Vlad's case about saying I love you.

Vlad could do better with a better woman, the woman he has is a child. She just as bad as her sister. If she doesn't get her way she whines like a little girl until Vlad gives her what she wants. She is 25 year old going on 5.

Firstly, I loved it!

Secondly, Well what I got from the whole situation with Leila and Vlad was Vlad refusing to admit that he was in love with her.. I think that Leila could see he had strong feelings for her and wanted him to pull his head out of his a** and admit it before they could completely commit to each other. She may have been a little bratty about it but like Delilah said, if she hadn't he might have always kept her at a distance and that was something she wasn't willing to do.

I don't think she forced him to say "I love you." She left because she believed they couldn't continue the way things were and she believed it was the right thing to do. That 'forced' Vlad to assess his feelings for her. I really don't see Vlad being 'forced' to say anything and certainly not to say 'I love you' if he didn't really feel that way. Also, if he hadn't loved her then he wouldn't have gone after her. Leila wasn't totally to blame at all. IMO Vlad was being selfish wanting her but not allowing her to have all of him in return and I was actually glad she left him. I would have done the same to be fair.

I loved this book even more than the first. Vlad has been one of my favourite characters from the start and I love how strong Layla has become, I mean come on... She totally kicked a** on that boat!

I LOVED IT!!!!!! The characters seemed so natural and never changed which made it realistic to me.

Blah
I didn't like nearly as much as the first. I felt like Leila was weak and whining as much as a two year old. Vlad seemed weak as well. I thought he should be even more of a manipulator in some ways because he knew her buttons to push. Her turning into a vampire too soon. Vampire scene was to quick like another said an afterthought surely. I felt like we could have consolidated the whole Maximus thing to a chapter at most. It didn't move story along. On that note story didn't move along hardly.
I expected to have a book that of course had more danger that was intriguing and development of the character and their relationship, more character strife and resolvement. Basically for Leila to grow up and for Vlad to get his balls back. I will read next book and hope it gets better.

It wasn't as great as the first book. Some parts just kind of felt.. lame. I'm not as excited to read the next one as I was to read this one.

------------------
If it had been written in Vlad's perspective, I'm pretty sure I would've dubbed it my Book of The Century.

I really liked it...I hope there is a 3rd....but I do agree book 1 was better....Vlad and Leila are great!!!!!

In a trilogy usually the 2nd installment is when things go wrong, the ultimate villain is revealed etc. Look at Empire Strikes Back, The Two Towers. Both are excellent examples of the not as well received as part 1 or 3. I think part of the problem with the book some of you are having is it didn't end with that quiet moment where everything is right in the world. But it wouldn't have fit with where the trilogy arc is going.

I thought this was better than the first tbh... much more going on and we got to see a little of Vlad's more sensitive side.

Totally agree. We've known all along its a trilogy so I wouldn't have expected to have their proper HEA where all is right in the world until the end of book 3

Love makes us all weak and do stupid stuff. LMAO!!!

I loved this book!

Yeah, but damaged bad boys like Vlad tend to fall really hard, really fast and just deny, deny, deny! They think its just "responsibility" or "protectiveness" that makes them act the way they do. I am caring for Vlad more each book, which I believe is what Frost wants us to do. Write faster, Ms. Frost! And maybe from V's POV.

I loved this book. Vlad and Leila are wonderful. I always loved Vlad for his directness and Ms. Frost did not disappoint.

Me too Cindi! He's a frustratingly Hot SOB!

Excellent as all her other works have been !
Was nice to see Jeaniene Frost honored for this book at the 2013 RTimes convention. It was selected as the 2013 Vampire Book of the Year !

I loved this book, just like I did the first! Vlad is my favorite vamp from the Night Huntress series and he is so worth his own!

i really like this book! i got bored with the whole cat and bones series and stopped reading them around book 5. so im glad that this is a 3 book series :)

also, as a romanian and a historian i think this is one of my favorite PNR vlad characters. i think JF did a great job researching his life and his character :)

cant wait for the next one!

I really love this book. I want more.

I loved it. I cannot wait for the next one.

Loved Loved Loved this series. I understand there is one more to come in this series but I would love to see more. Layla and Vlad are awesome characters and I love the banter between them.

Loving this series.

I enjoyed the book, I thought it was a little obvious at times, but I like Vlad in love. I wish there was more Bones and Cat, but this was not about them. Over all a good read.

Love it!

Loved it! Can`t wait for the 3rd book. Too bad it will be the last one in this series. I really like Vlad as a character.

Oh man, this book was so good. I love Vlad, he is my favorite in the whole Night Huntress/Night Prince worlds(followed by Ian)! There is something too sexy about a vampire like him, who is charismatic and aloof and powerful and totally speaks his mind the way Vlad does. He makes me think of Rhett Butler with fangs!! With that sexy vicious attitude!!!

Loved it ... waiting for more

I am a huge Jeanine Frost. I've read all the books in her Night Huntress series plus Spade and Mencheres' books. Twice Tempted was a big, big disappointment.

Vlad was tamed far too soon. The wedding scene just came out of the blue and seemed bizarre. How long had these two known each other? It couldn't have even been six months. How long did it take Bones and Cat to have a proper wedding? More than two books.

Leila was a likable character in the first book. In this book, she's shallow, whiny and immature. What bothered me the most was how quickly Frost changed Vlad's character. He becomes the sappy stereotypical romance hero.

I KNOW it's a different series by a different author, but I have to make this comparison. Vlad is so similar to Jericho Barrons from Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. Both are men with lethal power, incredible sex appeal, merciless, and you cross them realizing you will most likely die. Barrons shows love in so many ways, but never says the three words. It took several books, which span a year or more, before Mac and Barrons get together.

Here we have Leila demanding an ILY after two months. She seemed more like a junior in high school than a full grown woman. She bascially emasculated Vlad to the point he didn't seem like a Master Vampire at all.

This book felt rushed and incomplete. The only reason I'll read the next one is because I like the paranormal world Frost has created with her stories.

LOL, my poor Barrons and Vlad!!! They fell hard for their women didn't they, but I totally see your point Bookfanatic. One minute they were determined to keep their distance, but the next they were like "full steam ahead"!!! The only thing I can say is maybe once they gave up the fight in admitting their feelings they didn't see a reason to not rush into everything else!
