The single dad & the nanny ...
Burned by an ex with a wandering eye, Austin Rhodes has sworn off women. His sole focus is his young daughter - and despite his good intentions, the little girl's live-in nanny. He hired Mia Atwood to care for his child but he finds himself lusting after her instead. Keeping his distance isn’t easy but he’s determined to be a gentleman. Until Mia's past comes back to haunt her and she’s in need of Austin’s brand of protection. Suddenly she’s his in every sense of the word — and he’ll do whatever it takes to shield the woman who tempts him beyond reason.
MY REVIEW:
What an incredibly delightful, sizzling, romantic, and oh so H-O-T romance from Carly Phillips! Tempt Me is the second book in Miss Phillips Bodyguard Bad Boys series and WOW! This story had me feeling warm all over and tingly. I so loved the whole single dad and nanny thing. Mia is beautiful, caring, kind, and is beautifully sensual. Austin is the definition of a good dad. He pays attention to his young daughter, he is extremely good looking and once he sees how Mia is around his daughter, he can't help but to fall for her. This was such a steamy, sexy read full of passion, crackling tension, sweet romance, and just the right amount of suspense. I got all the feels with this one and I am excited for everyone to get a hold of this and read it!
Tempt Me sure is tempting! The characters are fresh and wonderful while the plot is irresistible. The romance ROCKS. Its exactly what I needed in the New Year! I give this an INCREDIBLY AMAZING FIVE SHOOTING STARS!
EXCERPT:
There were no heavy
expectations and she told herself it worked for her. And it did, as long as she
didn’t let herself think about all his finer qualities. Like his protectiveness
when it came to his daughter and how he’d transferred it to Mia. He could have
sent her packing when he realized she was bringing trouble to his doorstep.
Instead he’d stepped up and taken charge of her safety. It was hard not to fall
for a guy like that… but falling wasn’t an option. It wasn’t what they’d
tacitly agreed to. An affair was all this was, all it could be.
And she intended to enjoy
until the real world intruded once again.
She packed and met him out at
the SUV parked on the driveway. He wore a pair of jeans and a cream-colored
sweater, looking sexy with a pair of aviators covering his eyes.
“Ready?” he asked.
“Yes.” She gestured to the
carry-on-sized suitcase she’d packed, trying to be practical and not overdo it
with too many choices. It wasn’t like they were going out to fancy restaurants.
They were staying in and she’d chosen accordingly.
He loaded the trunk with
their bags and they got on the road. The trip passed in comfortable silence,
the discussion mostly about music and other things they liked… and didn’t like.
They stopped at a grocery
store not far from the cabin and she insisted on food she could prepare for them. Cooking
relaxed her and she liked taking care of people. He’d gone on about the
fireplace he loved at the cabin, and so she added some fun things to the
grocery list, hoping he liked her idea later.
Throughout the morning, they
were just two people enjoying each other’s company. Of course, that was on the
surface. Right below was a simmering awareness that she couldn’t deny. He’d
pushed up the arms of his sweater and her gaze settled on his muscular forearms
with a sprinkling of dark hair. Those arms were sexy. The man himself was
delicious and she wanted to get her hands on him again. They’d just had that
one time together and nothing since except in her daydreams and at night when
her subconscious took over and let her imagine him sneaking into her room and
taking her hard and fast, slowly and sensually, and many other ways.
He’d made his intentions
clear for their time away from the world. And she knew what she wanted, too.
She wanted him.
