ENTICING EMMA is Book 2 in the "Summersville Secrets" by
N.J. Walters. Tucker Martin is focused entirely on making
one woman his -- Emma Howard. Tucker's single-minded
obsession, and the lengths to which he goes to get Emma,
would seem a little creepy if Emma didn't return his
interest and didn't need a nudge to get past her own issues.
This is a story about a woman trying to figure out what kind
of romantic relationship she wants, and work through her
feelings and heal from childhood hurts.
When the story opens, Emma and Tucker are not strangers and
are turning up the heat on a third date before Emma puts the
breaks on. It's crucial for me that Tucker entices, ardently
pursues, and persuades, but respects Emma's pace as he
pushes her boundaries. ENTICING EMMA is a very sensual
romance and the reader will be seduced just as Emma is.
Emma's behavior would be very difficult to understand if
ENTICING EMMA was told without alternating perspectives.
N.J. Walters does a great job of slowing explaining Emma's
family history and why that has made her hesitant to form a
lasting romantic attachment. I like how Emma's friends help
put a new perspective on Tucker, and offer her emotional
support. The interludes with Emma's friends also provide a
bit of humor in the midst of so much intensity.
ENTICING EMMA will have you experiencing a heat wave. Emma
is a character that starts out a bit indecisive and unsure
of herself, but by the end she is a woman who has put her
demons to rest and owns her sexuality. I look forward to
reading the next book in N.J. Walters' "Summersville
Secrets" series.
The second book in the sexy Summersville Secrets series by
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author N. J.
Walters!
Damaged by betrayal . . .
Emma Howard learned the hard way that charming, good-looking
men can’t be trusted, and she’s perfected the art of keeping
her distance—until Tucker Martin moves into her apartment
building. Their immediate physical attraction to one another
is explosive, and she welcomes the opportunity to explore
her newly awakened sexuality. But after a heated night of
passion, Emma pulls away, unwilling to believe that a man
who has everything she wants will want to stick around.
Driven by desire . . .
Tucker has wanted Emma since the first moment he laid eyes
on her, and his need only grows more intense after they
spend one amazing night together—until Emma goes from
insatiable to unreachable. Bewildered but not broken, he’s
determined to prove to her that he’s as sincere as he is
sexy. And as Tucker patiently sets out to win the woman of
his dreams, he knows Emma will have to face her past before
they can indulge in the pleasures of a deeply loving future.
This is a fully revised edition of a book originally
published as Heat Wave.
