Summary

Enjoy heart-meltingly beautiful and toe-curlingly sexy romance in Tempted by Love, an emotionally riveting story about a man who has lost it all and carries a torturous secret, a divorced single mother who has everything to lose, and the little girl who helps them heal. Fall in love on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, midnight rendezvous, and the sexy, sharp-witted Steeles.

In Tempted by Love:

Years ago, best-selling 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....

We have known Daphne and Hadley for sometime now and Jock for a short time. Jock has a past and has been absent from Silver Island and the Cape after Harvey's death. But from the moment they met there has been sparks flying although Jock has always seemed reluctant to pursue a relationship .Hadley had no problem making it know who she loved, her Dock. From trying to fight is demons and realizing Daphne was the one he wanted he was able to start to repair his relationship with his family. And what a family he has look forward to reading more about them and the rest of the Silver island residents. I have also listened to this book and the story really comes alive with a great narration from Jennifer Mack and Brian Pallino.

I enjoyed this second chance romance. A single mom trying to raise her little girl and deal with the pain of her past and a single man still trying to heal from his tragic pain. Both of them come together to try and find a way to love again and heal. It was so touching to watch them take their cautious steps to overcome their wounds and learn to trust in the power of love and each other. The little girl was so sweet and added to the overall charm of this book. I love to see a man who is compassionate and willing to talk about his pain and reach out for help.

Overall the narration was very good and I really liked their acting.

This book made for a lovely Sunday listen!

Tempted by Love by Melissa Foster is a contemporary romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Jennifer Mack and Brian Pallino. This is the first book in the Steele’s At Silver Island Series.

I absolutely love Melissa’s books. They always pull me in and leave a smile on my face. I loved the relationship between Jock and Daphne. I can’t wait to dive into the next book in the series My True Love to get Grant and Jules love story.

Jennifer and Brian did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life and I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would highly recommend this book if you love romance books. It will give you all the feels!!!

Oh man, did this book pull out every single emotion! I had annoyance, anger, sorrow, silliness, pain and the perfect happiness. There is so much to this story that keeps you hooked. I know this is a long book, but I listened to it all in one go because I just needed to see how it ended. Fabulous writing and just as fantastic narration! The little girl voice was perfect!

When I first stumbled on this author, I didn't think I'd enjoy the books she writes so much. I thought they would be full of cringe and mushy stuff. I was wrong. The writing is great. I haven't found a single book by this author I haven't liked.

Great Author!
