Dodge Loving, president of the The Retreat Spa and Resort, is
furious when he spots a paparazzo. Dodge prides himself
on giving his guests total privacy, which is even more
crucial as he is close to sealing a deal that will
finally give him the revenge he has been seeking over his
grandfather. Dodge is sure the journalist is after aging
rock star Garth Hampton, but to his astonishment it's
someone from The Retreat staff. Dodge's mother hired
Harper Conner to catalogue and authenticate over 200
cowboy diaries. The hitch is that Harper was recently
involved in a political scandal and is desperately trying
to keep a low profile; she wants to get away from her
former life and reinvent herself. Dodge and Harper should
hate each other, they try to dislike each other, but what
can you do when it's an impossible task?
DODGING TEMPTATION is a light, fresh, and quick read
featuring great characters, among them the beautiful
scenery of Wyoming; Ms. Flynn really captures the wild
beauty of the state. Garth and Harper start off on the
wrong foot, but they soon realise that in spite of
appearances, they are on the same side, and the
attraction they feel is really meant to be in spite of
their stubbornness. Those two have seriously blistering
chemistry that threatens to melt one's ereader!
I loved the banter between the Loving brothers -- and what
extraordinary names the characters have in this book! I
must admit that my favourite character was Dodge's
mother, a New Ager. She is a riot as she desperately
wants to see her sons married off, in this case Dodge.
DODGING TEMPTATION is fast-paced, the story flows
smoothly, the plot is sprinkled with a few interesting
twists, and the romance is hot! Ms. Avery's snappy
dialogue and wit are as present as ever.
However be warned: DODGING TEMPTATION could be hazardous
to your diet. There is a lot of ice cream eating as Garth
and Harper bond over late night snacks! DODGING
TEMPTATION is a fun, quick, sweet and sexy read!
Dodge Loving wants revenge...and he's about to get it. On the cusp of closing a multi-billion-dollar luxury
resort deal, Dodge can't afford for anything go wrong. But then a fiery redhead shows up, the paparazzi hot
on her trail, and throws his world into chaos. He has to get rid of her. Immediately.
Harper Conner just wants to be left alone, but after slapping her cheating senator ex-husband during a
televised press conference, she's a hot commodity. The ultra exclusive resort in Wyoming seems like the ideal
place to hide--and work--so there's no way she's letting the Type-A jerk who runs the place fire her.
Despite the animosity sparking between them, Dodge and Harper can't keep their hands to themselves. This
thing between them can't happen. It won't. But his mother has other ideas...and she's willing to do whatever it
takes to make sure Harper and Dodge fall in love.
