Reviews – Tempestuous

5 Ravens from MacKenzie of Blackraven’s Reviews
Tempestuous certainly sums up the heroine to this story…well it is most likely an apt description for both main characters; emotional, passionate, and wild… The character development in Tempestuous was great. You were dragged into their lives and were able to watch the entire goings on as if you had a front row seat. The flow of the book was perfect; each page had you wanting to turn to the next. I hadn’t read a Nicole Austin story before, but I can assure you it won’t be my last.“The BDSM scenes and sexual content were unique and always fresh throughout the story. The passion between the characters was outstanding. The ending left you satisfied, but wanting more. If you haven’t read a story by this author, this may well be the perfect one to start with.”

Top Pick, 5 Stars from Trish of Night Owl Reviews
“Read this exciting story and experience what Evie finds out about becoming a submissive. Go behind the scenes and learn what exactly the roles of the Dom/submissive, Dom/slave are. I personally found it very informative as well as growing with Evie and Niko.”

5 Blue Ribbons from Suzie Housley of Romance Junkies
“Nicole Austin’s TEMPESTUOUS is one book that will set your soul on fire. This reviewer has never had to set a book aside just to allow her body enough time to cool down. This is one book that is definitely not for the faint of heart; it is written almost like a well in-depth instruction manual that will provide a crash course of the BDSM lifestyle. If teachers came in the form of Niko, there would be a mad rush to sign up for his class.”

 

4 Cherries from Sweet Pea of Whipped Cream
“BDSM never sounded this great. Evie Sloan is a business woman, with a curious side. Nicko Kovalenko is a Dom without a sub. Both have an instant attraction that is hard to ignore. That can only get better with explorations.“This book was absolutely amazing… Niko was absolutely my favorite Dom I have read so far. He actually cared enough about Evie to try new things… Also normally I get thrown off by the lack of spine in the women. I love a woman to be able to voice her own opinion and have a little something to say. Evie is the best example of this that I have ever seen – still submissive, but on her own terms.”

“Enticing” from Jennifer Bishop of RRTErotic
“A bit of experimenting becomes TEMPESTUOUS in this enticing erotic novel. Training a novice isn’t something new to Niko, yet Evie is a surprise in every way. From the moment they lay eyes on each other, there is something drawing them together, and it is not just lust. The chemistry between them sizzles, and they spend as much time getting to know one another as they do playing. Likable characters and an engaging story make TEMPESTUOUS a book you won’t want to miss.”

5 Kisses from Victoria – Two Lips Reviews
“The minute I started Tempestuous, I couldn’t flip through its pages fast enough becoming utterly delighted with Nicole Austin’s wonderful main and supporting characters in this BDSM feast.

“I most enjoyed the way Evie flourishes under Niko’s tutelage as Ms. Austin wisely gives us a submissive who could match Niko in intelligence and honesty. At one point in their story, Evie has a stumbling block which a lesser Dom would have exploited, utterly humiliating her. Niko patiently encourages Evie to try again and that’s the point when I instinctively knew that he’d not only won her heart but mine as well. Tempestuous is the first story I’ve read by Nicole Austin, but it won’t be the last. I sincerely hope she returns to this D/s universe she’s created, giving us some of the secondary couples’ stories which are so fascinatingly featured in this great BDSM story.”

4 Siren Stones from Yvette Lowe – Siren Book Reviews
“Nicole Austin has written a sensually dark and erotic story of trust and wild desire that leaves you wanting more. You will love the dark and so very sexy, Niko and the things he teaches Evie about herself and her desires. This is a story that will be in you read again list for quite some time.”

4.5 Hearts from Kathryn – The Romance Studio
“I loved Tempestuous. I especially enjoyed the way Evie spoke to herself, and Niko was a man who was very easy to fall in love with… Nicole Austin’s writing is sensuous and erotic as she takes the reader on a Tempestuous journey with her characters that is exciting and fulfilling… I devoured Tempestuous. I highly recommend it to readers who are new to the BDSM scene as well as those who already enjoy the subgenre and looking for another book to add to their TBR pile.”

4.5 delightful diavs from Susan -Dark Divas Reviews
“Nicole Austin skillfully wove an erotic tale of discovery of one’s true self. Tempestuous will keep you on the edge of your seat as you experience Niko, a man like no other.”

5 Stars – Rebecca A – Amazon Reviews
“I enjoyed this book and loved some of the differences from what Evie thought happened at a BDSM club and what really did happen. I loved how she got into trouble with her mouth and her inability to keep it closed! There were definitely some parts that really made me laugh.”

4 Stars – Rachel Bound By Books – Amazon Reviews
“This was my first read by Nicole Austin. I love BDSM based book and this one really hit the spot!
“Nicole Austin’s writing was great! I was entertained throughout the entire story. It never fell flat or lacked excitement. I often found myself wanting to be in Evie’s place. Her characterization was great. You could feel how enthralled Evie became…even when she wanted to hold her own against Niko, she never came across as weak, incompetent or whiny.
I can’t wait to read another Nicole Austin story!”

5 Stars – Julie Barrett – Amazon Reviews
“Tempestuous is a great BDSM romance that’s full of emotion, love and steamy bedroom (and dungeon) scenes. I liked both of the main characters and felt connected to them. This is the first book that I’ve read by this author, but I will definitely be reading more in the future. The book was easy to read, the story flowed well and the dialogue was crisp. The storyline was interesting, it was a real page turner.”

4 Stars – Steamy Book Momma – Amazon Reviews
“I have read some of Nicole’s books that have been part of Naughty Literati boxsets. This is the first full book I have read of hers and I loved it.”
