Temptation Trials Revolution

by B. Truly

GENRE: Adult, Dystopian, Romance & Urban Fantasy

BLURB:

There are always two sides to a story. Can love withstand the ultimate temptation?

A new Regime has arisen from the havoc and destruction of World War III. Society now has to follow the strict mandates, reign under the dictatorship of His Highest Eminence or suffer the consequences.

Tobias and Kincade are part of a cryptic organization that’s trying to uncover the secrets behind the Regime. Something is suspicious with the new world order—why else would they want to control the most powerful emotion of love? With mandatory arranged marriages at the age of twenty-one, the only way to fight for love is through the Temptation Trials—a government-sponsored reality TV show.

Kincade and Tobias know the rules, but after they meet the women of their dreams, they face a difficult decision. With their impending birthdays around the corner, the guys have to decide if they will bend to the Regime’s will or fight for their relationships.

Lust, mistaken for love, will lead to down a treacherous path. They soon learn that the spirit may be willing, but the flesh is weak.

Can love save their souls, or is lust too tempting?

Excerpt:

The media had been buzzing all week about the governor’s daughter coming of age, and she would be married off to some clown in New Zealand. A whole other country half a world away—the Regime knew no boundaries.

When my uncle Marcus first got wind of the protest, it was only Cindy, her man, and a small group of her friends. He sent us to scope out the scene discreetly. This courthouse was the primary location used for most standard arranged marriage applications and all Temptation Trial apps. Yep … that’s how corrupt our Regime operated. At the age of twenty-one, every citizen had to fill out a marriage app so the government could choose your spouse. Even more twisted was that divorce was not allowed, so you were stuck with the person whom you’d never even met for life. It was all about control.

Now a slew of folks had joined the cause, shouting and cheering for Cindy. Others were yelling their own proclamations of justice. Rebellion against the strict laws had been stirring up for many years—this just definitely wasn’t the way to voice your opinion.

Enforcement had the entire perimeter around the courthouse surrounded, waiting on orders from their superior on how to handle the situation. My crew and I stood outside of the danger zone, but we were still close enough to see. Under normal circumstances, the officers would’ve already pounced.

Cindy and Gary raised their posters higher, yelling and demanding that control over love had to cease. Several courthouse staff were in front of the building, peeping at the scene. Loud, blazing sirens infiltrated the area. A cop car and black SUVs whipped around the corner, coming to a screeching halt. A large group of enforcement got out of the vans, rushing over to the throng. They were all dressed in black—shirts, pants, and combat boots. Helmets covered their faces, and they held large metal shields with clubs. A short, pudgy man eased out of the car. Prancing over to the crowd like he owned the parking lot, the tool lifted his bullhorn.

“This is your only warning! Leave now or everyone here will face the penalty,” Mr. Bullhorn advised.

My Review:

Things have changed a lot since War World III. The world is now under the strict rule of the dictatorship of His Highest Eminence. Everyone has to follow his orders or pay the price.

The rules of love have been changed drastically. At the age of twenty one everyone is appointed a spouse. Women have to relocate if their new husband lives in another section. Families are spilt up and it is possible that mothers and fathers may never see their daughters again. Divorce is a thing of the past. The Government picks your spouse for you and you will spend the rest of your life with them.

If anyone so chooses they can be on a TV show called Temptation Trials to fight for the one they love. But first they must be chosen in order to be on the show.

Two guys, Kincade and Tobias meet two young women, Stefani and Cali one night and fall in love. Cade and Tobias want to spend the rest of their lives with Stefani and Cali and the only way they can is to participate in the TV show Temptation Trials. Can Cade, Tobias, Stefani and Cali resist temptation to be with the one they love?

Temptation Trials is so engaging and full of action that keeps you glued to the screen wanting to know what is going to happen next. I really and truly love this world in Temptation Trials. All the characters are very likable and loving people who pull at your heart strings but who also make you want to shake them at times. They know how to keep you coming back for more.

Temptation Trials will have you so engrossed that you won’t be able to turn the pages fast enough. Temptation Trials would make a great movie or TV series as an original on either Netflix or Hulu or the theater. I would love to read more in this world to see how Cade, Tobias, Stefani and Cali’ live their lives after the trials.

Temptation Trials is a mixture between Big Brother and The Hunger Games. It reminded me of Big Brother as it had men and women competing against each other but are fighting for something totally different. Although I would like to see Temptation Trials as a fiction movie or TV show as a contest like in The Hunger Games but it would also make a great show like Big Brother where couples compete to see if they could resist temptation before they actually marry and to also see if they are really and truly meant for each other.

I would recommend Temptation Trials: Revolution to anyone who likes reality shows or dystopian societies.
