DON'T TEMPT ME is one of the more special books I've
read from Lori
Foster. It's a contemporary romance set in a small town
and the story
features two couples in a single book. While I've read
many Foster books
before, DON'T TEMPT ME was one that hooked me from the
very first
page. I immediately fell in love with Honor Brown and
Lexie Perkins. As best
friends, they certainly get along, but they also couldn't
be more different to
one another. While Honor is a little more reserved and
independent, Lexie is
seen as more of the party girl.
When Honor moves into a new home, she soon finds out that
her neighbors
are all hotties. However, there is one hottie in
particular who has snagged her
attention. Jason Guthrie is quite the alpha male. In fact,
all the men in his
family are. While he's staying with his brother and
teenage son next door, he
can't help but try to offer some assistance to his new,
cute neighbor.
Honor and Jason's romance blooms at a wonderful rate. I
hesitate to call it a
slow burn because it does heat up pretty quickly, but in
comparison to
Sullivan and Lexie, it's a little more sweet.
Lexie is a little more out there and when she first sets
eyes on martial arts
teacher, Sullivan Dean, she immediately hones into him.
This is why I said
that Honor and Jason are a little more subtle, but Lexie
probably doesn't
have a subtle bone in her body. Their romance is swift and
scorching and it
was a nice way to balance out the two stories.
DON'T TEMPT ME is sweet, sexy and funny. It has all the
things I look for in
my contemporary romance reads so I have no doubt that this
book will
appear in my favorites of the year.
Love comes along when it's least wanted
Jason Guthrie has no time for entanglements—between helping
out his widowed
brother and teenage nephew and getting his hometown back on
its feet, his days
are spoken for. But his nights are another story… And when
his lovely new
neighbor, Honor Brown, reluctantly accepts his help in
remodeling her house,
Jason finds himself wishing his handyman skills could knock
down the defenses
she keeps building around herself.
Martial arts teacher Sullivan Dean knows real danger when he
sees it—even when
it takes the form of the gorgeous blonde helping her friend
move in across the
street. After putting his wayward past behind him to focus
on teaching control
to troubled kids, Sullivan has learned to avoid party girls
like Lexie
Perkins. But Sullivan can't seem to keep his hands off the
real woman behind
that flirty charm—or keep his heart from landing at her feet…
