EDGE OF TEMPTATION

The Saints of Westmount U - Book One

by Hayden Hall

Release Date: March 27, 2025

Review

Easton and Jace’s story is secretive, including in the writing style which draws out their past and present, keeping you on edge and slightly uncomfortable with the tension between them.


It’s an intriguing story, that hurts your heart for all they’ve both gone through, for what they could have been sooner, but oh so happy that they’ve made it through to something special.


It’s a dark story, not just between them, but the other characters and side stories too.


It also ends with a bit of cliffhanger, not about the couple but the underlining story involving the Hockey team Easton is on, and it left me wanting, no, needing to know what happens.

Synopsis

He was my first sin. My first love. And he’s about to ruin me all over again.

Easton

Some men ruin you slowly. Others break you all at once.

Jace was never supposed to be in my life again. Not after what he did. Not after they took him away.

But he’s here, standing in my doorway with a smirk that makes my pulse trip and my gut clench.

He needs a place to stay. I should slam the door in his face.

Instead, I let him in.

Enemies. Exiles. Rivals. Lovers?

This isn’t a love story. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

And I can’t wait for the impact.

Jace

He wants me gone. I want him begging. Let’s see who wins.

Easton never knew what to do with me.

He wanted to fight me. He wanted to kiss me.

Now that I’m back, he’s still pretending he can resist.

Cute.

But I know him too well. I know the way his breathing changes when I get close.

I know how his body reacts before his brain can catch up.

I know exactly how to break him.

And I will.

Edge of Temptation is the first novel in The Saints of Westmont U series. This is a college hockey romance with darker themes, exploring a toxic love, forced proximity, and natural enemies becoming lovers. It’s a standalone story in a larger series. Reading in order is recommended for the best experience as larger storylines thread throughout the series and not all questions are answered immediately. Content warnings are located inside the book.

REVIEW: The Hotshot vs The Reporter by Nicole Dykes (On the Track #2)

  THE HOTSHOT VS THE REPORTER On the Track - Book Two by Nicole Dykes Release Date: October 30, 2023 Review I didn’t think anyone could be more cocky than Axel (book one), but wow, Royal has taken obnoxious to a whole new level! His agent is a saint for not running him over with her car. LOL He is a true master at keeping people at arm's length through his antics and attitude. And now he’s going to be followed around by the one man who has made it his job to hate on him. All in an attempt to make him more likeable. Soren has made a career of calling out toxic masculinity and bad behaviour in sports, and Royal has definitely been a focal point of it.  It’s a match made in disaster.  But oh man, Royal is really quite wonderful once those walls come crashing down, and then he’ll make you swoon! And Soren is so patient and kind, even though he could absolutely have walked away a number of times. But with bumper car dates, cute animals, and some difficult truths revealed, you ...

REVIEW: Once Upon a Second Chance by Davidson King (Once Upon a Holiday Story Series)

  ONCE UPON A SECOND CHANCE Once Upon a Holiday Story Series by Davidson King Release Date: November 15, 2024 Review What a wonderful holiday romance. Small-town vibes, two really great guys, a little hurt comfort, an age gap, and a lot of tenderness. Aaron - a young man who’s known struggles more than he’s known safety and comfort and home.  Daniel - an older wealthy man with a heart of gold and deep ties with the small-town, but with the sting of lost love weighing on his heart. The tentative friendship, turned fling, turned so much more is sweet and patient. I love how important they become to each other so quickly and the healing they each help with. But equally beautiful was the town's role in their story. The common element to the series - The Hook’s Book Nook - is fun, though a small part - the two women who run it are wonderful, I would love a series about them and their travels.

REVIEW: Not Not Normal by Peter E. Fenton

  NOT NOT NORMAL by Peter E. Fenton Release Date: September 11, 2024 Review I don’t read a lot of YA, but if they were all like this, I totally would. Not Not Normal was a touching and uplifting story that anyone who wasn’t ‘normal’ in school could relate to. Finding the tribe of people, friends or lovers, that appreciate you just the way you are.  Jordan and Nathan are both pretty special guys and they make each other's lives so much bigger and more interesting, while also supporting each other, in the ways they can, through the big emotions and frustrations they are experiencing in their lives.  It was such a warm and rich read, and I love the ease in which you could connect with the characters. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Jordan and Nathan couldn’t be more different, but when order and chaos collide, opposites attract. Jordan is a bit of an oddball at school. He likes rules, routine, old sci-fi novels, and is often the victim of his bully’s torment. Wh...
