Thanks for your review! The dystopian aspect of the book seems quite interesting. Having who you are supposed to marry decided by the government sounds terrifying.

This sounds very interesting. Dystopian novels often tend to have a theme of this strange sort of hybrid culture and society which collects various ideas or customs from places, often using them in ways that seem entirely nonsensical but become established 'tradition' in-text. The premise of Temptation Trials does remind me of The Hunger Games quite a bit, but the added addition of arranged marriages is very much different to it. A very interesting concept though I've never been much of a fan of triangle romance!

I have read a greater part of the book and I quite agree with the reviewer's observations. The author tried to balance the fiction and romance and the result is good. The story started out at a fast pace, then slowed down and later picked up. Despite the colloquial terms used which slowed one down, the story is a page turner. The rating of 3 out of 4 stars is fair indeed. This os a fine review.

A review of "Temptation Trials Part I" by B. Truly.]

Temptation trials is rather tempting to read. I must say the idea of forced marriage is a bliss to modern society.

The fact that a regime after WW III turns out to overule a democracy and establish a full dictatorship over the American people.

Under the regime, we see that no democracy on choosing a spause rather a game of luck on tv called temptation trials.

So far the book places the modern society into a full test of the taste of primitive life style (chosen spauses and forced marriage).

B.Truly is an inspirational writter of both political fiction and or love affairs.
So i will rate.

3 out of 4 stars

The combination of reality TV and a totalitarian regime sounds most intriguing! Lovers having to go through trials to be together must make for a good story.

The book describes the life soon after World War III but that in reality appears to be like feudal times when the arranged marriages were normal and were done for the political good. The plot sounds interesting and now that I have both parts I will put it on my To Read List.

Thank you for your review of Temptation Trials Part I by B. Truly. The book cover is intriguing and the premise of a regime choosing marriage partners, and romance mixed with political issues, is an interesting twist. I'll download and give this a try.

A fictional view of a dystopian world where the regime of the day chooses the love life's of everyone and their day to day living, not to mention trial by fire for true love. This is a book worth reading thanks botd.

The book sounds interesting. I like the way you describe it and have added it to my reading list.

May I suggest using Grammerly or another app to proofread your writing? There are quite a few (easy to make!) mistakes in here and your reviews will be better and easier to read if they are grammatically correct.

Cheers on the official review!

I am usually not a fan of romance but this book seems to have a lot more going on. I love suspense, which there seems to be a lot of, so I believe I will enjoy reading this book.

Sounds a bit like a '1984'-esque story. Nice review!
