Temptation Next Door Book 4
Lara “Is that him? The Charles Hill?” Yes, you guys. That’s exactly The Charles Hill. Single Dad. Best-Selling Author. Hot-as-Sin. And probably twice my age. He couldn’t possibly be interested in me – an ordinary small town girl. But he makes my toes curl whenever he glances my way. We're at work, and I know it's wrong. But my body is telling me yes. Ok. Just one kiss. I told myself. And one forbidden kiss led to so much more…
Charles I shouldn't be looking at her like this. She's only twenty-four, and I'm way too old for her. Everything about this is inappropriate. The looks. The little touches. The way she stares at my lips when I talk. I’m only here to hold my creative writing workshops. But I can’t help but think about something…filthier. I shouldn't even think about going there. Yet inside, I'm begging for a taste of her forbidden fruit. I tried to fight it, but my five-year old daughter brought her right into my place. And I can’t resist the temptation any longer. I have to claim her, no matter what they say.
My Review:
This story is as sweet as it is spicy. Lara is a girl after my own heart; obsessed with books and bookstores and authors. Charles is a man with a lot of emotional baggage; a divorce, a daughter, and a brand-new start. I love how down-to-earth these characters are. The image of Lara fangirling over Charles is priceless, and the situations Charles faces with his ex-wife will be familiar to many. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and I’m sorry it’s over already.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.
