It's been quite a while since I read the first book in the Covert Affairs series, INTIMATE ENEMIES. In fact it's been almost 2 years!! When an opportunity to read and review the third book presented itself I grabbed it, knowing I'd have this second book to read too first. The chemistry and banter between Zoe and Taft was off the charts from the very first meeting. I really loved how sassy Zoe didn't take crap from Taft. And let's face it: an undercover operation in an adult store? Isn't that the perfect premise for a scorching hot suspense book? I can definitely confirm this. FIRST TEMPTATION was witty, exciting and really hot! The sex scenes were intenseand hot, the plot was exciting and well done with an unexpected twist and I liked the characters a lot. Memorable Scenes:- the one at Zoe's dining room table and later on the stairs > redhot!!- the one with the pole dancing > djeezzzz, I want pole dancing lessons now!Favorite Quotes:No, Zoe definitely didn’t know this man. She would never forget a voice like that. It curled through her body like the first sip of her hot coffee, tingling down her chest and spreading through her belly.“You’re fired. Now we don’t work together anymore.” He moved the hand at the middle of her abdomen to the side of her face and turned her head so she was looking up at him over her shoulder. “Because I have to have you. I have to touch you everywhere. I have to taste you. I have to be inside you. Explore you. It’s not a want anymore, Zoe. It’s what I need. And if you can’t mix guys and work, then fine, you’re fired.” I really enjoyed that the main character was a female border control officer. And that she was bad ass, and didn't stop being bad ass even though she was finding love with her temporary undercover partner (no pun intended). I enjoy seeing a female protagonist be sensual and feminine in intimate situations, but is still willing to put on a wife-beater and shoot someone in the face. Not that shots to the face happened in this book but you know what I mean.
