About this listen
Dmytryk Knight was a respectable man who had followed the blueprints for the American Dream: go to college, find the girl of your dreams, get married, buy a house on the affluent side of Detroit. He’d done it all by the book. But when a crippling recession annihilates the auto industry, Dmytryk and his wife, Cora, suddenly find themselves without jobs and in foreclosure. And after two years of taking any job they can find and trying to live honestly, they realize that integrity just doesn’t pay the bills.
Given the right circumstances, even the best of us can turn bad.
When a powerful and ruthless criminal named Eddie Coyle arrives from Rome and gives Dmytryk an opportunity to make fast money, Cora urges him to man up. All he has to do is join Eddie Coyle’s crew and rob some banks: two minutes, in and out, nobody gets hurt. Torn between desperation and his values, but unable to resist the promise of instant cash, Dmytryk gives in - but no sooner does he enter a life of crime than Cora vanishes.
Now, more determined than ever to get his life back on track, Dmytryk is only one bank job away from having enough money to leave Eddie Coyle and find Cora. But when the job goes dangerously wrong, Dmytryk is forced to test his moral compass in ways he never imagined and realizes that we can plan all we want, but sometimes fate has a different agenda....

Tempted by Trouble
I'll start by saying, I truly enjoy Eric Jerome Dickey's novels, but wasn't crazy about the story line of this book (bank robberies). Had I purchased this book to read myself, I'm certain I would have put it down. The narrator kept me entertained and as always I couldn't wait to see what twist Eric would throw in. If you are an audible listener give this book a try. If you like Eric Jerome Dickey, you won't be disappointed.

I just don't know what to say other than "You did it again"......
This book drew me in and I could not stop until the end. Mr. Dickey you nailed it again and I don't want to forget the narrator Dion Graham who voice is sexy as hell. Between the excellent writing and all some narration I really enjoyed this book.
Audible-I love the way you bring books to life.

Kinda reminded me of Gideon...
I thought that this was a great read until the ending. The last chapter really through me off. There was a point when Dmytrk was going between the past and the present and things a bit got confusing. I actually had to go back a few times in order to fully grasp the ending of the book. I love this reader's voice!! That's another reason this story put me in the mind of Gideon, same great voice.

Love, business and money don't mix.
Set against the backdrop of Los Angeles, "Tempted by Trouble" follows the story of a charismatic and enigmatic protagonist who finds himself entangled in a web of danger and desire. As the plot unfolds, readers are taken on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, as they witness the protagonist navigate the treacherous waters of love and deception.
Dickey's masterful storytelling and vivid prose bring the characters to life, making them feel like old friends or sworn enemies. Each character is multi-dimensional and flawed, adding layers of depth and nuance to the narrative.

Slow start, but amazing finish
This story was amazing and very different for EJD. It started out kind of slow, but once the pace picked up, the characters really took you to a totally different place and time.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book.

Save your credit. Totally unbelievable.
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No. The main character has the morals of a saint but is so easily corrupted and then seems to lose it by seeing and talking to ghosts......totally unbelievable.

Good smooth read.
This is a different Dickey, than I am familiar. I have a high regard for EJD as an author. His work continues to evolve. I will read everything he writes. This particular selection held my attention to the end. This selection is interesting, intriguing but not so exciting. The characters are well thought out and charismatic. The narrator does an excellent job distinguishing the individuals. Ending was good! I would definitely suggest putting this one in the cart.
