Book Tempting olivia dunne Olivia s relationship with Charlotte is intense Olivia still considers her to be the one that got away It s great to see that Charlotte is developing into a stronger version of herself now that she has Millie s undying support And that in and of itself is hard on Olivia because she thought she had the strongest bond with Charlotte During the story their friendship evolves because Olivia is learning about herself in new ways And that is what makes their relationship even solid then before. Book Tempting olivia The struggles Kate has to face are many But her attraction to Olivia is clear as day I loved the fact that Kate is all in and appreciates all the little nuances that make up Olivia.

Tempting adj intriguing seductive enticing. Tempting olivias las Lawyer Olivia Sachdeva doesn t do intriguing seductive or enticing except when there s a case to win or a higher standard to reach or when she escapes into the third or twenty seventh rewatching of a Kate Laurence film the last a secret kept so locked away that only her best friend Charlotte is aware of its existence Temptation leads to disorder It means wandering outside the very rigid very precise utterly flawless circle that Olivia has created to enclose her life And Olivia has never been prone to wandering anywhere. Kindle Tempting olivia hussey Kate Laurence she of the very secret repeat viewing does not wander but rather walks dramatically into Olivia s office that very precise office in that very precise circle bringing a messy divorce case and a messy personal life Bringing temptation seduction and intrigue Olivia s internal monologue is no longer thoughts about how to align the coasters in her lounge room Suddenly there are thoughts secret messy thoughts that reveal themselves too often in facial expressions that had behaved themselves until Kate. Book Tempting olivia culpo I ve decided that Clare Ashton like so many authors I admire wields magic Without giving too much away well sort of I discovered two things proper author y word The first is that in the beginning of the book Olivia s chapters are written with clipped sentences The speaking the thinking and the general narration bit All of it precise nothing extraneous perfect word choice as if we are in Olivia s head observing her life which we are but you get what I mean Then when it s Kate s turn to think and feel and be the sentences are longer where the perfect words are bookended with an extra like she s waving her hands about while she looks at her surroundings Olivia doesn t do hands waving about It s brilliant The characters inhabit their own chapters for as long as they can then the pebble is tossed into Olivia s serene pond of raised eyebrows and suddenly chapters are laden with scene break asterisks Points of view quicken And masks are removed. Tempting Olivia mystery tackle The theme of masks pervades the story The mask that Olivia wears for protection the mask that Kate has worn for so long that her persona has become her identity There is a scene much later in the book oh This is a spoiler y bit where Kate and Olivia attend a masquerade party It didn t have to be a masquerade party It could have been any old bog standard version but Ashton made it a masquerade party because it was important for Olivia and Kate to dance and connect and breathe so closely that whispers of thoughts could be felt on each other s skin It was important for Olivia and Kate to lift each other s mask to see Not to look That s easy But they see and it s gorgeous. Book Tempting olivia munn The mask theme continues along another train track in the story That of neurodivergence Neurodivergent people are very good at masking Fitting in Appearing normal Ashton writes gently softly about Charlotte s realisation her a ha moment about her ADHD She lets Charlotte slip off her mask herself It is telling that Olivia observes the unconditional love that Millie Charlotte s girlfriend has for Charlotte and realises with regret and sadness that she hadn t seen the signs of Charlotte s way of navigating the world in all their years of friendship. Tempting Olivia mystery ranch As readers we make the assumption that Olivia is neurodivergent Readers are supposed to make assumptions We take notice of Olivia s modus operandi We discover how love affects her very being her carefully constructed neurodivergent life And we witness Olivia dipping her toe into the waters of chaos then Kate reaching for her hand to guide Olivia into the safety of their small boat as if to say We re in this together because here s my life and it s not perfect and you ve shown me yours and it s not perfect either so how about our hearts guide this vessel to forever That John Venn bloke knew what he was talking about when he tossed two hula hoops in the air and found that union in between He probably had Olivia Sachdeva and Kate Laurence in mind because they are the epitome of two circles which inexplicably wonderfully grab hold of a magnetism to find that perfect union in between For all the quotes and adages and beards pretending to be old men sitting in rocking chairs smoking pipes telling everyone who ll stand still long enough to listen that temptation is bad bad awful awful bad and good luck trying to step away resisting temptation is actually easy It s safe So there s strength in taking those steps towards temptation even though you re not sure it s a good idea but you do And it s incredible when you get there so you wonder why it took you so fucking long to realise that temptation was where you should have been in the first place Olivia gets there Without the swearing bit 404 Probably the biggest book upset in a long time As a friend said if you read this book completely unrelated to Meeting Millie then it s just fine The problem is that I can t read it that way Olivia Charlotte and Millie are all just a bit too different from their characters in Meeting Millie and not in a good way The ADHD storyline seemed forced and I really didn t see the point Actually I do know the point but I feel there could ve been a better way to go about it than what Ashton chose to do My biggest issue was Olivia While I loved her in Meeting Millie it didn t happen here I honestly couldn t see what Kate saw in her That being said I hope the next book stars Geeta and Nicola because I m here for that 404 Okay so this book messed with my brain and with my heart and I loved every second of it I didn t expect to find Olivia so relatable Are we starved for accurate neurodivergent representation or what The way Ashton describes the world and human relationships as experienced by Olivia felt so real even though there are also a lot of ways in which she s definitely extremely different from me But the parts that resonate resonated deeply As did Charlotte s ADHD journey And the clumsiness Hello dyspraxic here. Book Tempting olivia dunne Let me back up a little We met Olivia in Meeting Millie and I don t think I m wrong when I say many of us hoped for her story Olivia is Charlotte s best friend still not completely over her despite Millie obviously being the one for her charming and easily distracted friend Then Kate Laurence waltzes into her office Olivia s teenage crush her favourite actress the one whose movies help her relax after spending her days deep in divorces and other family law matters Olivia prides herself on her ability to compartmentalise yet when it comes to Kate she fails spectacularly The multi Oscar winning superstar juggling work and caring for her two children melts her walls in the most delicious and unprofessional fashion. Tempting oliviamunn Both Olivia and Kate have so many layers despite Olivia believing she s straightforward She s full of surprises all delightful She knows who she is always has and yet there was room for growth As for Kate she s wonderful an overwhelmingly talented star with her own insecurities and certainties On paper they probably shouldn t work and yet they do beautifully organically They simply make sense. Tempting Olivia ebook reader I smiled a lot while reading this book From the fledgling relationship between the MCs the wonders of getting to know someone who just feels right From Millie s contagious pleasure at rattling Olivia From Kate s moments with her children and from Olivia finding unexpected kinship From the author s ability to insert humour and lightness with ideal timing My heart cried too breaking along with the characters Clare Ashton writes the dark days of longing and frustration with the same skill as the exaltation of falling irresistibly in love.
