Devon Carter wants to merge with Copeland Hotels. William Copeland offers Devon a deal he cannot refuse. In exchange for his company Devon is to seduce and marry his daughter. It’s Copeland’s belief that his daughter cannot take care of herself. Devon isn’t the settling down type but he does want this company and he can provide a nice life for Copeland’s daughter. It doesn’t matter that her free spirit ways make him uneasy.

Ashley Copeland thinks she has found the man she wants to spend forever with. He’s charming and dotes on her to the extreme. She gives him her innocence and her heart. How unfortunate to learn on her wedding night that everything she thought is a lie. Even more disturbing Ashley actually loves Devon. She decides to change the things he doesn’t like and become the perfect wife for businessman Devon Carter. Will she lose herself in the process?

Tempted by Her Innocent Kiss is a passionate and highly emotional drama. I couldn’t get enough of this ardent novel. Devon and Ashley are thrown into this unexpected plan of her father’s and they have trouble deciding how they truly feel once the plan is uncovered. I hated that Ashley decided the best course of action was to change herself for Devon but I understand it is often the path chosen by lovers. One of the things that I love about Tempted by Her Innocent Kiss is the fact that it didn’t take the route I would have expected. Instead of running away from the man that duped her Ashley stays. While Ashley attempts to change Devon slowly learns what love really is. Tempted by Her Innocent Kiss is another great read from Maya Banks. Ms. Banks never fails to bring desire to new heights with her effervescent writing style.
