I'll update this as I go along with the novellas. I plan to read the series chronologically, so it might take a while for me to finish this. 
 BEAT OF TEMPTATION: 1.5 STARS 
 She wants to have sex with him. He wants to, but can't, because he feels she's too young and inexperienced. Loads of unnecessary angst. 
 Holy fuck, this was so frustrating. The issue could have been solved by a good, long conversation, for fuck's sake. 
 Tammy: Look, Nate, I'm 19. I'm not a young kid anymore. Maybe we can talk about this? 
 Nate: Sure, Tammy. Of course we can talk about this. Isn't that how a mature, loving relationship should work? 
 Tammy: Okay, so this not-having-sex-thing is really a pain. Like, literally. And it's not healthy. We're mates; we have a visceral need to have sex. You know that. So, what do you say we do the deed and get mated? 
 Nate: Are you sure? Because once we do this, there's no going back. 
 Tammy: Yes, I'm sure. 
 Nate: Okay, I respect your decision. 
 And that, my friends, is how things should have been. Instead, however, Nate controlled the situation and manipulate Tammy, and Tammy was a bitch at some points in the story. Sure, they had their reasons, but how the hell were they supposed to be together if they couldn't even settle such a small problem? Seriously, grow up, kids. 
 Plus, I didn't like how Nate was overly controlling to the point of being manipulative. He just had to comment on Tammy's fashion choices, complaining that the top is too revealing, or the jeans cling too much on her. WTF, bro. Look, I love jealous, domineering alphas, but it was just badly done here. Ugh. 
 And by the way, I am so sick of writers using sex as a solution to every problem in the H and h's relationship. Blech. Gag me.
