Fresh Fiction Review

DON'T TEMPT ME
Lori Foster

Reviewed by Annie Tegelan
Posted August 23, 2016

Romance Contemporary

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.

SUMMARY

Love comes along when it's least wanted Jason Guthrie has no time for entanglementsβ€”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 itβ€”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 charmβ€”or keep his heart from landing at her feet…
