The last of the successful and seriously single "Triple Threat" Donovan brothers Trent Donovan never planned to fall in love like his brothers but it sneaks up on him in this explosive story. Because of his line of work he didn't plan to have a wife nor chidren to worry about him when he was away doing his job. Fashion model Tia St. Claire lost the love of her life and child in a accident 2 years ago and had no plans to fall in love again. She is a client of Trent's sister-in-law and is invited to a party being hosted by her boss and it just so happens to be on the anniversary of the accident that killed the love of her life and unborn child. She dreads going and seeing Trent again. She can not stand him because he is too arrogant for her tastes and he had called her months before and she blew him off. She drinks too much champagne and seeks a quiet place to be alone because she knows a breakdown is coming and she doesn't want anyone to witness it. Trent finds her alone and see that she is drunk and in no shape to drive home. They share a heated kiss and he drives her home. She doesn't want to be alone and asks Trent to stay. He senses that something else is going on with her but she refuse to talk about it. They end up in bed together and it is a night that neither one will ever forget. Both fight their deep feelings for one another at first. Someone ends up stalking Tia and Trent steps in to protect her and find the stalker. It ends up being someone that he knows and Tia can't accept the fact that because of his job, this will happen all the time. She refuses to be with him knowing that she could lose him like her former love. You will have to read this fantastic novel to find out how this ends. I won't be a spoiler and give the ending away. Another great novel by A. C.

Fashion model, Tia St. Claire was every man's dream. But she did not want to have anything to do with men. A few acquaintances were all she believed that she needed. Tia was asked to model for Camille Davis, owner of CK Davis Designs. Tia loved Camille's designs and was eager to help her, until she found out that she would walk the runway with Trenton Donovan. In Defying Desire, AC Arthur gives readers a very romantic story.

Trenton Donovan was the last of the Triple Threat Brothers to be single. Trent was a former navy SEAL. He loved his job and still accepted special assignments. When he was asked to model in Camille's fashion show, he thought it would be fun. After meeting Tia, Trent realized that there was another type of danger he wanted to explore and he was not about to let her slip through his hands.

Arthur brought together two unlikely people who could not deny their attraction. Tia struggled to accept Trent, first as her friend and lover while Trent showed that he was more than his career. I enjoyed this installment of the Donovan brothers.

The last of the "Triple Threat" Donovan brothers is back and falling HARD. Mrs. Arthur weaves a HIGHLY emotional-charged tale with a HEARTWARMING ending. The DESIRE between Trent and Tia is SIZZLIN'! And the intrigue and suspense surrounding their budding relationship keeps you turning the pages until the very end. The cast of characters, main and secondary is quite colorful and MEMORABLE. I am DEFINITELY looking forward to reading more stories about the Donovan clan and their circle of family and friends.

I love A. C. Arthur. This book was no exception. The beautiful Tia St Clair was a perfect match for the restless Trent Donovan, one of the infamous "triple threat" brothers. Tia was carrying a lot of pain behind her beauty. Normally sequels can be disappointing. This was an excellent sequel. I loved it so much that I keep my copy close by, so that when I need to escape, I can fall in love all over again. I never get tired of A. C. Arthur. She is an awesome writer.

I really did enjoy this story. It was really tender in some spots. The pain that Tia must have went through is indescriable. She needed someone that didnt really care about getting in her face and telling her how it is, or should be. Trent was something else. I loved the relationship with his brothers. I must say that Camille was doing a little too much for me at times. Even Adam was starting to get on my nerve some. But I loved the language how they spoke to one another. I was laughing out loud at some of there conversations. The chemistry between Tia and Trent was OFF THE PAGES!!! WHEW, can I get a fan please??? I loved how he came to discover he loved her and wasnt afraid to tell her. He is truly a man! He reminds me of Trevor Grant from Fire and Desire (by Brenda Jackson) and that is no small order to fill. A.C. Arthur is doing her thing. I love series books and I look forward to hearing about the rest of the Donovan family.

Loved the book but I found it sad a times. Tia was so fragile and her losses so great.

AC..You HIT it out of the ballpark with this read!!! The last of the 'TRIPLE THREAT DONOVAN BROS", Trent FALLS HARD for sweet yet truly troubled and sexy, Tia St.Clair. The story was well written, with wonderful story and character development. I appreciated the author bringing in the characters from the other 2 books in this series on the Donovan Bros- "Love Me Like No Other" -(Lincoln) and "A Cinderella Affair" -(Adam). A.C. this is defintely your Best work!!!! If you want a romance story full of drama, secrets, fears and sexy, hot scenes, with HUNK of a HERO- You've Got To Read "Defying Desire".

A.C. I'm looking for what's coming next, especially if you're going to bring in a character from the "Triple Threat Donovan Bros." series...like Trent's friend, Sam or maybe Devlin.

I have waited and begged for this story and A.C. did not disappoint me. Trent Donovan the last of the "Thriple Threat" Donovans fell, hard and fast. Tia St. Claire had him from the jump in Adam and Camille's story although he tried hard not to admit it. It was a great story!! and I can't wait for Diamere's story... Come on A.C. we know he is jaded but he needs love too. Get this book-Get all the books!!! you wont be disappointed. Loved it!

Deifying Desire is the third book to the Donovan family and as everyone suspected when the last man falls he falls hard.

Trent Donavan met Tia St. Claire when he went to help his brother's girlfriend out during a fashion show but never before did he suspect to begin to have a desire for her that led to him extracting the number from his soon to be sister in law.

However, Tia St Claire has ghost from her past that haunts her daily leading to her secluded life until Trent steps in. Trent & Tia go through a lover's quarrel that could end their relationship only to realize that their love for one another is what makes them strong and the Donavan clan knows how to meddle just enough to see it through.

AC Arthur pulls off another exciting book from the Donavan family bringing the last Triple Threat Donavan to his feet. AC is defiantly an author to keep your eyes on as she continues to bring heat and passion to her stories and the romance world.

The last of the "Triple Threat" Donovan brothers has fallen in love and fallen hard....This was a great read and a page turner...You won't be able to put it down...wasn't ready for it to end....The Donovan's has become one of my favorite families ...Can't wait to read more on their family and friends...Job well done AC....
