Tempting Gemma 6 Kindle Edition

4.7 out of 5 stars 44 ratings

From NY Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Josie Litton
"Shockingly sexy!--Goodreads "Laugh out loud funny!"--Amazon

Publishing every Friday in July and August, 2018. All episodes available for pre-order now!


Gemma has been misbehaving and Charles is very upset (mostly because she's put herself in danger). What's a husband to do? Find out in the continuation of this sizzling serial inspired by Jane Austen but set in the modern world (or at least a version of it).
Instead of vanishing into the romantic mists of literary history, here Miss Austen’s England has endured in all its unfettered glory into modern times with some decidedly unintended consequences. Among these is the existence of a ruling class of men whom centuries of power and wealth have accustomed to indulging their appetites and having their own way without restraint.

TEMPTING GEMMA is purely--impurely might be more correct--a work of escapist entertainment. It is intended as a secret, even guilty pleasure to be indulged in privately, perhaps with a nice glass of wine or the beverage of your choice. Although M/F, monogamous and HEA, it in no way depicts events that I would ever wish to occur in the world as we know it.

If you are not mortally offended within the first few pages, I hope that you will find this story both arousing and amusing. On the other hand, if you do take offense, I humbly apologize although I feel compelled to point out that you have been duly warned. Kindly proceed at your own discretion.

    Woo hoo, things are getting good!!

    The Marchioness of Ardsley finally starts to realize how much his wife means to him when she comes waltzing back into the manor looking all banged up. "This vision of his dear little wife lying dead under some tree--that he would then have to uproot before burning every branch, twig and leaf--struck him so violently that he could no longer breathe. Only one thought ruled his mind: He could have lost her. Just like that, all the light she had brought into his life would have been extinguished."

    "Was she real, truly, this wife he had so unexpectedly acquired? Who had turned his home, his life and, he suspected, his heart upside down? He devotedly hoped that she was because truly he could not imagine his world without her."

    But, just because Charles is starting to realize he has actual feelings for his wife does not mean his carnal desire for her has lessened. If anything, it's increased. One game of strip poker later, and the man is using some new toys on her that blow her mind. And because he's so benevolent, even toys she gets to use on him, too!

    But, don't go thinking that everything is all flowers and sunshine, because Gemma tells her husband more of the horrors that she and her fellow students suffered at the hands of the MM school. "Later I would begin to understand the varied ways in which people respond to cruel oppression. While it is commonplace to imagine that we will all stand up for liberty when called upon to do so, the fact is that more than a few will collaborate simply to survive." And we're privy to the info that something horrible is being planned for our couple.

    I can't wait to see what Josie does with this slowly falling in love couple.

    Oh, I was so thrilled to receive this ARC, today! I've become convinced, that just about everything, becomes a little bit more tolerable, when you have this wonderful series, to look forward to! This book is part six, of the episodic series, by Josie Litton. "Tempting Gemma 6," begins with Gemma feeling somewhat restless, after her dear friend, Tillie Fenster, decided to accompany Gemma's decorator, Antonio Ricci, to Castle Gandolfo. Ricci had been commissioned to decorate the Pope's private apartments. First, Gemma attempted to test her culinary skills, in the Manse kitchen. There was some minor damage, but thankfully, no one was hurt, in the fire that resulted. However, Cook, was apparently rattled by the experience, and would give notice, if Gemma graced the kitchens, again. The Ladies' Beautification Committee, in the village, admitted that they were looking forward to Gemma's participation in the Fall Harvest Festival, but couldn't provide Gemma with any diversions, at the moment. The local vicar was of no use, either, as the man was attending a seminar, attempting to control bats, in the belfry.
    Gemma was merely being a good samaratan, when her next caper, very nearly cost her, her life. She escapes with minor injuries, but poor Charles! Gemma caused him such a fright, he actually believes that he may be suffering from a heart condition! Or is it the first inklings of... *gasp* Dare I say it? Love? Charles is certain that Gemma just needs some temporary, but thorough distraction, to keep her, out of harm's way. So, Chuck, being the randy-dandy that he is, finds various means to keep our heroine, thoroughly and utterly, um, occupied. A delightful episode, that brings this couple closer to a startling, realization. Gemma's parents may have used her, to square a debt, but Charles won the wife-lottery, when he wed Gemma. When he finally realizes that, it will be a game changer. Readers will be delighted with this well-written, captivating and addictive, series, by Josie Litton. I volunteered this review.

    I am started to become more aware of what it is that Gemma truly wants from Charles. At first, she thought to create diversions for herself. Such as learning to cook, joining to choir at church or assisting the Ladies' Beautification Committee. She realized she really had no interest or inclination. When it came to Charles, she was grateful that he provided a place for her art and anything else she could possible need. But when he treated her like a toy "to be taken out and played with whenever the mood struck him" she became resentful. "Resentment flared in her. She wanted so much more--his respect, his trust, even--if she dared let herself think of it--his heart."
    Josie Litton. Tempting Gemma 6 (Kindle Locations 93-96). Josie Litton Books. Kindle Edition.
    Gemma puts herself in danger by rescuing a kitten high up on a tree. When she was climbing down she lost her grip and fell. When Charles saw her disheveled person, he thought someone attacked her. He instantly wanted to protect her and avenge her. It appears that Charles may be falling in love with his dear wife. Not sure, but it looks that way. Later after they pleasured each other and were resting, Gemma took advantage of Charles calm state to resume her stories about her alma mater Mary Magdalene. She wanted to be careful as the reunion was coming and she wanted to be sure that she and Charles attended. After she was done with her story, Charles in contemplation, decided to look into what kind of parents Gemma had, also look into her sisters situation and then find out more about Mary Magdalene. Josie Litton has promised an exciting part 7. Gemma and Charles are in danger. Of what, I don't know. But I can't wait to read it. I received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review

    What a great series. It has cliffhangers but each segment is hot enough to keep you reading. Full of sass, kink and toys I have never heard of. You must start at the beginning but it is worthwhile. A must read!
