Tempting the Dryad follows five years after the end of Claiming Valeria, with Tiago and Alesia's story. With a simmering attraction, but only friends Tiago and Alesia are forced to face what they really are... 
 Younger brother to Lord Dion, Tiago has his issues, betraying his brother/alpha, has left him less than trustworthy. Determined to show his worth, Tiago gets caught up in a plot to bring Lord Dion and Lord Aldric head to head. Sniffing out the traitors, isn't as easy as one would think, especially when the Fae are involved. 
 Tired of waiting for Tiago to get over Cleia, Alesia is determined to have Tiago anyway he will let her. Only now, because of Tiago's involvement, Alesia becomes the focus of the traitors. 
 Overall, I am not sure how I feel about Tiago's story as I had a hard time liking his character. Nevertheless, Rivard creates a seamless transition between the stories and leaving tidbits for possible storylines...I am looking forward to Lord Aldric and Rosana's story.
