My life was meant to change when we escaped our past.
New family. New town. New school.
I find myself living in a shinier version of hell, with a devil hell bent on crushing me.
My new stepbrother, the heir to the Knight fortune and legacy, is also my senior year English teacher. He doesn’t hold back on punishing me in class.
The three Kings that rule St. Ivy and this town have also set their sights on me.
Specifically, one who seems to have a personal vendetta against me.
His callous gaze, wrathful mouth, and vengeful ways know no bounds.
His two devious best friends are no saints, with their irresistible smirks and flirty touches, some bordering on the line of possessive.
Little do they know I made a promise to myself long ago that I would never again be a possession.
They seem to think they can break me.
But these boys don’t know who they’re dealing with. I’ve faced monsters that would make them hide under their beds and piss in their pants. Monsters who taught me to put up impenetrable shields to keep me safe inside.
The irresistible torture of these manipulative Kings has me fighting my own demons.
I manage to resist the four of them until my walls slowly crack, my truths start spilling out, and I’m drawn into their secret world of lies and violence with no escape.

*Trigger Warning. Corrupt Temptation includes scenes and story lines that may be triggering to some readers. This includes self harm, dub con, light MM.

Boat Harbor was nestled against the sharp cliffs to the north and the sandy white beaches to the south. It was steeped in rich history and clouded in dark secrets, ruled by the four families who owned pretty much everything in town. And most importantly, it was far enough away that no one would know who my mom and I were. Far enough away that the monsters wouldn’t search this far south for us.

such a great unexpected story!

Okay so that was not I was expecting at all and I LOVED it! Literally obsessed now even though I’m confused (in a good way 🥴😂)

There were so many twists and turns. So many emotions played through this book. One minute I was questioning what was going on to I need a cold shower. I have so many questions and can’t wait for book 2 to give me answers!

Peyton is definitely an amazing female character. She’s been through a lot (even though we don’t know anything really just a little) and she doesn’t take any $#!+ from no one. She can be super sweet and funny to bad@$$ in .2 seconds if need be. Whatever is thrown at her she takes it in strides. Especially with her BFF/stepsister at her side.

Now the guys 🤤 they have left me wanting and confused by them. Colton, Tyler, Hawke and Steele… if you like…. No if you love mystery then this group is for you 🥵 They are so hot and cold but like in a good way. I seriously can’t figure out Steele and I need more answers. I mean dannnnnng, don’t even get me started on Dylan and that story. And Dev?! Like what was that ending. I know the second book is going to be great! Can’t wait to read it to learn more about the guys and get a deeper look into Peyton’s past!

I really enjoyed this series. The plot was good and so were the love stories that developed between all the characters. I knocked it down to 4 stars because there were a couple of loose ends not tied up (one being about one of the mmc fathers and another about an Instagram scandal) and numerous (and I mean numerous) typos. I was also disappointed in the length of the last three books being so short. I felt the entire series could've probably been condensed into a duet or 3 books.

I actually really enjoyed this story! I live for the pranks and deceit. I love when authors write in a way that makes you try and guess who is lying and what exactly these 4 boys are. Are they mafia, a gang, just bad boys? Who knows. I love the relationship MC has with her mom. Excited to read the next book!

Definitely trigger warnings of mention of rape and sexual assault so don’t read if you have these triggers.

This book felt all over the place. There was no real connection between her and the guys. It was just lust and power and all together really shallow. There was self harm, dub con, and blood play but it was all done in a very immature and lackluster way. Peyton cursed and threatened a lot but pretty much caved at any and all moments the guys said to. She was a foul mouthed doormat the majority of the time. I didn't know what was going on most of the time either. Is there a gang issue or does she have a stalker? Why are the guys interested in her? They never actually say so the interest they have in her seems very boring to me. They threaten her to leave but don't say why. Then she gets at school and they are over bearing and obnoxious but still don't say why. There was never any real character or plot development. I really didn't like this book. It's more silly than dark.

This book was dark and depraved but in a deliciously twisted way. There's a of different things going on in this book. I could have never predicted some of the things that went on in this book. There's so many twists and turns. Emotional and sexual tensions are crazy. There's so many secrets and a couple of mysteries that leave you biting your nails wanting to know more. This is a great start to what I feel will be an amazing series!

This was my first Melinda book and I absolutely am in love. I need more. Like I have so many questions and need answers. Hawke has got to be Mt favorite at this point by Tyler is a close second. Steele and Colton just make me mad. Idk how I feel about Dylan. Like could he not have warned her. Ugh. On to the next

Corrupt Temptations, the first book in the Savage Kings of St. Ivy series by Melinda Terranova is everything you want in a dark enemies to lovers RH romance…and so much more!!!! Age gap, stepbrother, teacher-student, bullying, enemies to lovers—this book has it all and is so deliciously savage you won’t be able to put it down!

Peyton our fierce and snarky as hell FMC, moves to a new town when her mom remarries, and is in the process of starting over. On the run from a very sketchy and dangerous past that’s hinted at throughout the book, you can’t help but fall in love with Peyton! She’s been through a lot, even though it’s just hinted at and we inky feel a few tantalizing glimpses into her dark and shady past, but that doesn’t stop her from being such a fierce heroine! She doesn’t take crap from anyone—even the Kings.

The Kings (Steele, Colton, Tyler and Hawke) rule St. Ivy and already have their sights locked onto Peyton. They’re all extremely sexy, mysterious and they each seem to have a certain appeal that calls to Peyton—yet her past still has a hold on to her. Butting heads more times than not, tensions ride between the group and allows for quite a few steamy scenes that leave you wanting more!

Overall this is the perfect culmination of several of my favorite troupes and it is to die for! There are so many twists and turns and emotional and sexual tensions this story will send you on an emotional roller coaster of a ride!

Read this in a few hours. Totally fell hard for this book. Patton is a fabulous heroine strong, funny and totally badass. I can't wait find out more about her past and the brotherhood. Looking forward to finding more out about Hawke and steel. Completely in love with Colton and Taylor.

Dark. Gritty. Angsty. This book ticks all the boxes for dark, enemies-to-lovers reverse Harem lovers. This one might even be traumatic to some people so be cautious. The steam here is off-the-charts. For people in love with stories set in preppy high-schools, elitist crap, gangs...this one is a must read.

Interesting premise

Reviewed in Canada on January 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed the premise of this book and the angst, drama and mystery that it entailed. There was a hinted backstory with the female main character that you just wanted to know more about and the ending added even more questions.

I love the rollercoaster of emotions and events that this book went through. Just when you thought things might be getting a little easier or questions were answered, something else was thrown right in front of you and you had to recover from what occurred.

While I did enjoy the story I found that I would’ve liked knowing a bit more about the characters and maybe their back stories. Especially the guys. I feel like we didn’t connect with them a lot or didn’t really get the full story. When they did interact with the female main character it was brief. It felt very hot and cold and I was kind of meh on the three of them. I did enjoy Peyton‘s interactions with Colton, the one we seem to have the most interactions with. I think when more is revealed in book 2 and we are given more time with other characters we will start to connect with them a bit more and will hopefully get some answers.
