Review

4 short and fun stars!

This is a quick, fun little NA read. Romantic and laugh-out-loud funny, it’s 58 pages of pure entertainment, and I really enjoyed it.

This novella is technically #2.5 in the Tempt series – it’s the story of John, who is roommates with Austin and Noah in college (Austin and Noah are the heroes from books 1 & 2 in the Tempt series, and John appears as a side character in their books). I freaking loved getting to see these guys again, especially in their younger years, but as this novella takes place way before we meet them in the full-length books, this one can absolutely be read as a standalone.

John and Dani have just broken up and both of them are miserable about it. Dani dumped her boyfriend after listening to her roommate go on and on about how college should be her wild years and she’s too young to be tied down. Yeah, I know, it’s kinda weak and I was worried I’d be annoyed at Dani for dumping John over something so stupid, but just go with it, because John is not prepared to walk away, and neither is Dani, and it’s all resolved really quickly, and watching him go about winning back his girl is hilarious – especially when his roommates come on board to ‘help’.

“We eat on that fucking table. There are rules, Noah, like no banging unless it’s in your room or the shower.”
“John banged Dani on the couch last week.” He points at me. “I watched.” He smiles. “You did good, grasshopper,” he says as he raises his hand for a high-five.
“You fucking watched?” I yell at him.

It’s a really quick read, but it’s so much fun and made me laugh out loud so many times. I loved seeing these boys together again, and it’s got me all excited for yet another reread of this series that I love so much.

“It’s her,” I say quietly. “From the moment I met her, it was like my world was knocked into place.”

I loved it – 4 stars

About the Author

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…
