Mature readers who enjoy romance, dystopian societies, and reality tv will love today's BOTD! The two sides of this series can be read in any order or alone (from the guys POV or the women's POV). Join these characters in their challenge to win the right to marry whom they choose and find out if lust or love comes out ahead in the end. Thanks for your review! I've downloaded my free book! Yay! :-)

I've already read Tempation Trials Part I and Part II which is written from the girls' point of view and I liked it. I was waiting for the second book written from the men's point of view. Now that I have both I will gladly read it. Thanks for making the book free and congratulations on becoming BOTD!

It sounds interesting, it reminded me a little of the hunger games, but with a twist. I'm not so much into romance novels, I prefer other genres, but maybe I would give it a try if it's short as you said on the review.

It seems a bit like The Bachelor/Bachelorette with a twist and in a different time. It should be fun reading. Thanks for the review.

I do like dystopian novels, but I’m not sure I’d enjoy this book. It seems like too many people lusting after one another. Thanks for the honest review.

Even though there are parts that sound unrealistic, I really like the ideas behind the plot of this romance novel. I love reading any sort of dystopian novel and this sounds different to what I've read before! Thanks for the review

Temptation Trials Rebellion by B. Truly
Unique way of having different perspectives of viewing the story. In addition, the book has various ways and sequences in which it can be read.
The author has done a good job of bringing the characters to life with the descriptions and the story telling.
The story did well to highlight the plight of those in certain reality tv shows, and the moral conflict one can go through when having to cross their value boundaries in order to fulfill the values of assisting their relatives.
Great Book

Temptation Trials Rebellion by B : This dystopian romance novel seems to be pointing at the African tradition that is mainly practiced in the northern part of Nigeria whereby a teenage lady is been given out to the betrothed which is the parents wish on the other hand is not the girl's wish
Moreover this romance novel is telling us about a society were "love" is controlled by the dictator
A competition is deviced for the teenage who has clocked the age of twenty one
and if any of them is in relationship already Is not considered by the government who set the competion
Thereby even if you eventually won the result is been manipulated by the dictator and all is done by lost

With the government choosing who you will marry, it sounds much like the "Matched" series, which I enjoyed immensely. As I am also a die-hard fan of dystopian novels, this one is a shoo-in to go on my TBR shelf. I enjoyed reading your review! Well done!

This book has an opening that states it can be read as a standalone. However, the multiple sequences the series can be read in seems complicated and frustrating. The review was comprehensive and said the dynamics were forced and not natural. I started reading the book but couldn't focus enough to follow it. I do like this genre and may try it again, though. However, it would have to be in a much quieter setting.

The reviewer did an excellent job! The reviewer displays the story with an interesting concept in that
it is about a society in which the government chooses who you will marry once you turn 21 years old. You do not have a choice and any relationships formed before that age will not be taken into consideration. If you commit adultery, you will be punished, and divorce is not allowed.
I think I am going to really enjoy reading this book and I'm looking forward to it tonight! :D

I'm definitely a fan of dystopian novels so I will probably have to pick this one up. The fast pace and mention of forced characters is a bit worrisome but might be something to overlook. Thanks for the review!

This book was on my wishlist so when it came up I pounced on it. While I am looking forward to the male perspective of this series by this author I'm disappointed that it seems like the author sped up the "affections" the characters develop for each other. I don't like stuff like that because as you said it comes off as forced and not more realistic. I get that it's a fictional story, but I still want things to play out in a more organic manner. I'm still going to check this book out for myself and look forward to it.

Having "a twist in the novel" always makes me want to read it. There is something exciting about that unexpected ending that leaves me with great anticipation!
