Marissa Bennett's life fell apart the day she found her husband in bed with another woman. Married for just a year, she feels like an utter failure. Now divorced and penniless, Marissa is returning to her hometown of Hopeful Ohio to get back on her feet.

Unfortunately, that includes moving back in with her parents and sister until she has enough saved up for her own place. Marissa finds a job as librarian and tries to mend her broken heart.

Sheriff Connor Doyle knew a girl from that little town in Hopeless Ohio when he was 19 years old and she was 18. She went by the name Rissa and was his girlfriend for a couple months. After taking her virginity they ended up breaking up and that was it. But when he realizes the new librarian in town named Marissa is Rissa from his childhood, he is in for more than he bargained for.

Marissa holds a grudge against Connor and the last thing she wants to do is associate with him at all. But this small town has other ideas on their mind. Everywhere she goes, Connor is there. There is no avoiding him. Everyone thinks they should be together and have no idea about their past relationship. Will Marissa be able to start over with Connor or will her broken heart be too much to piece back together?

TEMPTED AGAIN is a contemporary romance with a nice touch of comedy mixed in. It's been a while since I read a book all in one day but that is what happened with TEMPTED AGAIN. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down.

The small town with people constantly in their business, the meddling mothers, the undeniable attraction between Marissa and Connor, all of those aspects made TEMPTED AGAIN a fun book. I laughed out loud many times at Connor's family and how invasive they could be.

If you are looking for a book that you will become absorbed in, TEMPTED AGAIN is definitely the way to go. I loved reading about Connor and Marissa and I look forward to Cathie Linz's next book.
