Ravyn’s Temptation [Ravyn Warriors 6]
Tony is a man used to
putting aside his own emotions for duty. However, when Prince Salvatore assigns
him to interrogate the prince’s younger cousin over his alleged betrayal, Tony
finds putting his own emotions away is much harder than expected. He was half
in love with Theron before he was in league with the enemy, and now the
constant interaction is breaking Tony’s limits faster than he can erect them.
Theron is a man without options. Desmond imprisoned his friends and demanded he pass on Salvatore’s secrets or else. Trusting outsiders has never worked out for him, and confiding in Tony seems out of the question. However, Tony promises him a life unlike any he’s experienced before and loving him is far too easy. But can he risk his friends’ lives on new love? And will Tony be able to lay aside duty to prove to Theron that giving in to temptation is worth the risk to his heart?

Adult Excerpt
“Want you,” Tony
said in that gravel-filled way of his. Apparently anger and arousal produced
the same sound in him.
“You, too,” Theron
gasped. He was feeling alive for the first time in a long time, and he didn’t
want to stop feeling this way for a second. “Fuck me.” He was surprised he
managed to make the request. It sounded odd to his ears, guttural and somehow
much more confident than he usually was when confronted with a person he was
attracted to. It would take very little effort to be naked since they’d taken
away his clothes.
Tony kissed down
the side of his neck and continued to play with his body like it was an
instrument for his pleasure alone. He wanted it. He massaged his cock through
his underwear, and starbursts erupted behind his eyelids. Good. So good. Yes.
Tony reared back and looked down on him, the serious expression he often wore
on his face but something else as well. His eyes were on fire and drowning with
lust.
“Fuck me,” Theron
repeated, panting lightly. He pushed his underwear down his hips, freeing his
dick from the confining material, but he couldn’t push them down much further
with Tony between his legs.
“You want me to
make you feel good, boy?”
Theron shuddered at
the almost angry note in his voice.
“Answer me. Do you
want me to make you feel good?”
“Yes,” Theron
murmured. The sound of rending fabric filled the air as Tony took his underwear
in his hands and ripped them right off. Tony threw the shreds aside before he
slid down Theron’s taut body and took his prick into the back of his throat.
Theron screamed. He
couldn’t help it. He’d never felt anything like it before. The warm, wet haven
of his mouth was unreal. His hips moved of their own accord, pushing upward
into Tony’s mouth as Tony sucked and licked his hard dick until Theron’s eyes
crossed. He babbled without knowing what he was saying, begging Tony for
something he couldn’t name. The Ravyn seemed pleased by the words though
because he growled around his cock.
“Gonna… gonna—gods,
Tony!” He came before he could get the warning out of his mouth, shooting his
seed between Tony’s willing lips. The Ravyn didn’t miss a beat. He continued to
suck him until his body went limp and he started to soften between Tony’s lips.
“Gods,” Theron
whispered as he started coming down from the high of his orgasm. “That was
amazing.”
“Good,” Tony said,
smirking. Gone was the hesitancy and awkwardness of before. Whatever his flaws
at courtship, Tony had no such qualms about sex apparently. “You ready for the
next level?”
Theron swallowed as
fear rose in the place of his mind-splitting arousal. It wasn’t that he was
afraid of Tony hurting him. He was just afraid of the unknown. “I—” He cut
himself off. He didn’t want to be selfish. Suddenly he became perfectly aware
of his nakedness. A blush infused his face as the heat of embarrassment rose.
He stared up at Tony’s shirtless torso and blushed harder. The man was thicker
than his brothers, all heavy muscles with just the light sprinkling of hair on
his chest and down his six-pack. The decidedly large bulge at the front of his
black pants told him that every aspect of his body was to scale. He was
gorgeous.
“You don’t have
to,” Tony murmured, cupping his cheek. “You can make me feel just as good
without the fucking.”
What a gentleman
you are underneath all that warrior. “I want to make you feel good,” Theron
said. He may have been afraid to let Tony fuck him, but he was more than ready
to touch him anywhere the warrior wanted him to.
Tony popped the
button on his pants and carefully lowered the zipper. His cock all but leapt
out of its confinement, eager and darkened with its own unique flush. Theron’s
mouth watered for a taste of the thick, long, cock with its pre-cum-decorated
tip. Tony’s eyes darkened as he stared at his prick. “Want a taste, boy?”
“Yeah,” Theron said
breathlessly. Tony reached down and stroked himself from base to tip, and
Theron groaned. “Hell yes.”
Review
The battle for the freedom of Demontia has finally arrived
and Tony, leader of the Ravyn’s is about to find himself in the forefront. Ravyn’s Temptation wove another
intriguing facet of the lives of the Ravyn’s and their beloved Prince
Salvatore.
Salvatore’s cousin Theron is currently their prisoner for
passing information onto the evil Desmond. Prince Theron though has his
reasons, as his most trusted friends are held captive by Desmond and will be
killed if Theron does not cooperate.
Prince Salvatore has ordered Tony to be the personal prison
guard to Theron which proved more difficult than meets the eye; Tony had fallen
for the little prince.
Jana Downs is a
superb story teller in her delivery of the lives of the Ravyn’s. Just when I thought
that I had my favorite book picked out in the series, she wrote another and topped
herself. Ravyn’s Temptation was
magnificent.
Throughout the series, Tony has always been more sullen and
serious, as the leader of the Ravyn’s he has had a more formal personality. In Ravyn’s Temptation Ms. Downs permitted the real
Tony to come forth, and grow and mature in his self-worth and his ability to
truly love and be happy. Tony’s
personality has never allowed him to do anything half way and he came full
circle in Ravyn’s Temptation. As it
should be, when it came to his mate, Tony was a pile of goo.
Theron was a wonderful addition to the story. Introduced in
previous books, Theron’s reason for being was revealed. Under Ms. Downs’s characterization, Theron
grew into a mature partner beside Tony, in love and battle. Ms. Downs created a character that
complimented the Ravyn’s leader and offset his brusque nature. When together
each man became whole and apart they were simply solitary pieces of a puzzle.
In this reviewer’s
summation, that is how Jana Downs
has delivered the entire series. Each Ravyn has been a piece of a greater
enigma; each an integral part, with smaller puzzles intertwined as each man found
his complimentary mate. The mystery became larger while also becoming smaller
as the conundrum of the lives of the Ravyns was slowly revealed throughout the
series; a testament to the writing abilities of Jana Downs and the wonderful secrets in her mind.
Jana Downs
delivered love, lust and intrigue as she took me on a roller coaster of emotion
and adventure. The playfulness of Tony, the fierce love of Theron; steamy,
kinky sex. New characters revealed and
more questions asked. Jana Downs
will reveal all in timely and calculated fashion, holding my attention for more
journeys to come.
