Book Review: The Villain We Tempt

 

One elite mafia college, four shadowy secret societies, and the ruthless dark-hearted heirs of legends.
Your acceptance letter to the most dangerous campus in the world is on the way...

My parents think I'm the perfect daughter.
To Knightsblood University, I’m the sweet little mafia princess.
But to a million strangers on BookTok, I’m the masked “Velvet Villainess”: the mysterious woman who convinces innocent readers that fictional psychopaths make perfectly reasonable boyfriend material.
If I’m being real, the strangers might know me best.
My double life is going great…until a masked stranger ripped straight from the pages of one of my own spicy books catches me filming.
The Ghost Prince is the internet’s favorite unhinged book boyfriend, cosplaying every morally gray, dangerously obsessive red flag I've ever swooned over behind a mask of his own.
And now he knows my dirtiest secret.
He says he won't expose me. But instead, he decides to keep me.
I should be terrified.
Unfortunately, I'm into that.
There's just one tiny complication.
Ghost isn’t just an anonymous masked fantasy.
He’s Lochlan Kildare. Campus royalty. Shameless flirt. My insufferably cocky and outrageously gorgeous teaching assistant.
The man I'd happily watch fall down a flight of stairs.
Which is a problem, because I might be falling for him.
Too bad I'm also falling for the masked stranger with his fingers around my neck.
I just don’t know they’re the same man.
Some villains hide behind masks.
Mine wears two.

The Villain We Tempt is a fully standalone dark college romance. No previous books in the Jagger Cole Universe need to be read before diving into this book or series. Readers are highly advised to read the TW inside.

My Review

I am obsessed with Galina and Lochlan. The Princess and the Prince.  

"I've got one. A secret, that is. Something dark. Something potentially embarrassing. Something scandalous."

Talk about a first meeting. It is a meet cute but make it darker. Let's call it sinfully delicious! Lochlan is definitely a "booktok" book boyfriend. Red flags but also, he does have green flags as well. This is only after you get to know him and only if you are Galina. 

"Hello, Villainess. Prepare to meet your new villain."

If you have never read a "camgirl" story, well you are missing out. This book is a must read. What do you get when you combine two hot people...explosive hotness!! Jagger tempted me for sure with this book.
