In TEMPTED BY LOVE…

Years ago, bestselling author Jack “Jock” Steele lost his girlfriend and baby in a horrific accident that drove a wedge between Jock and his family, keeping him from sharing a devastating secret. An aging philanthropist saved him from the brink of despair, and for a decade Jock cared for his ailing friend who became his family. Now his friend has passed away and left him a fortune—on the condition that he publishes another book. Jock is floundering, unsure how to rebuild the life he’d walked away from, much less find his muse, have another relationship with a woman, or even think about having a family of his own. But he can’t get his sweet, sexy new friend, single-mother Daphne Zablonski out of his head, and her adorable toddler must know something he doesn’t, because she wraps her tiny fingers around his heart and won’t let go. 

Daphne has been through the wringer with her ex-husband and doesn’t believe true love is in the cards for her. Friends she can handle, but letting a man see her mom bod naked? Especially someone as strikingly handsome and unbelievably sexy as Jock? No, thank you. Besides, she has a toddler to chase after and enough fictional boyfriends to fill her lonely nights. If only her book boyfriends could make her body tingle the way one look from her mysterious neighbor does. 

As Jock and Daphne’s friendship turns to something too tempting to deny, their lives take an unexpected turn. Can a man who has lost everything find redemption with a woman who has everything to lose? And then there’s that secret…

My thoughts:

Sometimes if takes me a while to write reviews for certain authors because I have a hard time coming up with new ways to say I loved their latest book and it was amazing.    So I'll just say that for Tempted by Love.  It was amazing and I loved it. 

This is the first book in a spin-off series about the Steele family from Silver Island.  This one is Jack "Jock" and Daphne's story.  This relationship was so fun to watch. The chemistry between the two was so steamy.  I loved that Daphne was a curvy girl.  Her insecurity about her mom body really resonated with me.  Ladies, if he doesn't think your post baby body is amazing, then kick him to the curb.  Jock's story was heartbreaking and I was rooting for him to heal from it.  Daphne and little Hadley were just what Jock needed.  A big thank you to Ms. Foster for making Hadley act and sound like an almost 3 year old.  

This is a great first book in a new series. I can't wait to get to know this new cast of characters.  The next book, My True Love is already on my TBR list.  I highly recommend this one!
