"Don't Tempt Me is a sweet, fast read about finding family, love, and more! You can't go wrong with this book! It’s a must read!"—Night Owl Reviews

“Best friends find hunky men and everlasting love in Foster’s latest charmer.”—Publishers Weekly

Publisher: Harlequin
Date of publication: July 26, 2016

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…

I am always super excited when a new book by Lori Foster comes out.  You all know by now that she is among my top go to authors when I need a good romance with great characters and enough chemistry to steam up the pages.  Don't Tempt Me hit the spot! In this one, we get treated to two romances.  My only problem was figuring out which couple was my favorite!

We have Honor, who moves into the house next Jason's. He is instantly taken in by Honor's beauty, but even more than that he wants to get to her heart. I loved watching these two fall for each other.   Given her real family situation, Honor had a lot of problems with trusting people.  The way Jason and his family made her their own was wonderful.  I also liked Lexie and Sullivan.  While their romance was a little less central for me, it was still fun to watch.  

With most books by Lori, you can also count on getting a little bit of a mystery., Someone keeps trying to break into Honor's new house,  The solution as not what I expected!  But my lips are sealed, so make sure to pick up your copy when it goes on sale next week! In the mean time, enjoy this sneak peek below!


Excerpt:

“Dear God,” Lexie muttered, losing her amusement. Her feet dropped to the floor and she leaned forward as far as the seat belt would let her. “Please tell me that’s not it.”
                “It is,” Honor confirmed with pride. Sure, it was a little rough, the lawn overgrown, the landscaping obliterated. But now it was hers. Lexie might not see the possibilities—but Honor most definitely did. “All it needs is some TLC and love.”
                “Or maybe a…demolition?”
                “Don’t be dramatic.” With a frown, Honor added, “I wanted you to be happy for me.”
                “I know, and I am. I just don’t see why you always want to do things the hard way.” Going quiet, Lexie drew in a breath and straightened her shoulders. “I’ll help. With everything. No, don’t argue. I can’t claim I’m strong and I’ll admit I’ve never remodeled anything. Honestly I’ve never held a hammer. But I’m here for you.”
                “Between dating and working and shopping, you mean?” Honor loved Lexie like a sister, but their social calendars, as well as their motivations, were as different as night and day. As they neared the house, three men stepped out from the garage next door. They’d obviously been working. One held a motor of some sort while the other gestured toward it. The tallest nodded as he cleaned his hands on a towel.
                “Oh, hey.” Lexie perked up. “What’s this? Man candy? Very sexy man candy.” She rounded on Honor. “You’ve been holding out!”
                Repeatedly glancing at them, Honor shook her head. Nope, no holding out. This was the first time she’d laid eyes on the men. Fact—because if she’d seen them, she sure as heck would have remembered.
                “Oh, please, please, please,” Lexie whispered. “Let them be single.”
