About this listen
From USA Today and Amazon Top 5 Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a Fake Dating, Teach Me, Spicy Sports Romance.
A little white lie never hurt anyone . . . or so I thought.
One fake date and we’d go our separate ways, at least that’s how hockey’s hottest golden boy—Nixon Sinclair—convinced me this would work. But it turns out, Nix had other plans.
Now I’m sneaking around with my brother’s teammate, refusing to admit he’s everything I want but never knew I needed.
Irresistibly dirty mouth—Check.
Panty-meltingly possessive—Check. Check.
Toe-curling lessons in the bedroom—Check. Check. Triple Check.
But when fun leads to feelings, our little white lie starts to feel a little too real.
And if I’m not careful, I’ll be the one hurt in the end.

I as always enjoy the little snippets of the other characters and the found family within this fold. I really liked how Kenzie’s character has grown throughout the books. She was quite young when she was first introduced and watching her grow has been a ball.
I loved Nixon’s character, how he is with Kenzie just melts your heart. Their friendship brought a smile to my face. it’s such a great friends to lovers story. I enjoy the chats as always and then little moments that make you laugh and smile so hard.
Nixon’s Character!!

"Tempting" by Bella Matthews opens with a thrilling scenario where Nixon Sinclair steps in to help Kenzie by pretending to be her boyfriend. The catalyst for this charade is a creepy doctor at Kenzie's workplace who won’t leave her alone. Sensing her discomfort, Nixon offers to accompany her to a gala where this doctor will be present, marking the beginning of their "fake dating" arrangement.
Nixon Sinclair is Kroydon Hills' answer to the golden boy—a quick-witted, irresistibly charming alpha male who knows how to keep things polished in public but turns up the heat when they're alone. He's addictive in ways Kenzie never expected.
The gala night takes an unexpected turn as Nixon learns about Kenzie's inexperience. This revelation leads to an agreement between them: Nixon will "teach" Kenzie about sexual intimacy, with the promise of keeping things strictly no-strings-attached. However, as their lessons progress, both Nixon and Kenzie find themselves growing emotionally attached.
Nixon is a man who knows what he wants, and it’s clear that he wants Kenzie. Yet, he grapples with his own identity and the expectations of a family full of legacies, leaving him torn between pursuing the girl he desires and forging his own path. Kenzie, on the other hand, is fiercely independent, having only relied on her family. She has worked hard to reach her current status and is wary of letting anyone, especially Nixon, get too close.
As both characters deal with their personal struggles, the tension between their growing attachment and individual dilemmas threatens their potential happiness. Kenzie also faces the persistent nuisance of the sleazy doctor, adding another layer of conflict. Moreover, the meddlesome nature of Nixon’s large, close-knit family adds to Kenzie’s stress, as she prefers to keep her private life private.
Fans of Bella Matthews' previous books will find "Tempting" a satisfying continuation, especially those who have been eagerly awaiting Kenzie’s story. This installment also introduces readers to more intriguing characters like Leo, Callen, and Bellamy, with Callen's story next in line. The shift from hockey to football in the upcoming books adds a fresh twist to the series.
Overall, "Tempting" is a must-read for romance enthusiasts, particularly those who enjoy stories with complex characters, emotional depth, and the perfect blend of heat and heart. What started as a simple arrangement of convenience has quickly turned into a toe-curling lesson on the impossibility of keeping things casual.

I loved how they was much drama, I loved when there was it wasn’t dragged out. I loved Nixon so much and thought he brought out the best in Kenzie.
I loved the way they overcome their different careers choices with timing and I thought they made it work.
One of my favourites.
Amazing listen

Neither Kenzie nor Nixon were looking for love, but it gradually crept up on them as he gave her lessons in love. The chemistry between them was seriously sizzling. They’d been friends for years, but it had been more of long distance/part of the same group thing with Kenzie away for college and then her studies as a doctor, so it seemed natural that their relationship progressed with none of the awkwardness there might’ve been if they’d grown up in close proximity. Despite this ease, there were so many obstacles in their path, the largest being Kenzie’s overprotective brother Easton who just also happened to be Nix’s team captain. Their story was told from dual points of view with no major dramas or cheating, just a menagerie of larger-than-life friends and family members all more than ready to meddle in their budding romance…... although they’d call it giving the benefit of their experience and usually via their infamous group texts! If you’re looking for a sweet but extremely spicy love story with fabulous family dynamics, wonderful characters, and a whole lot of love then I recommend paying a visit to Kroyden Hill but be prepared to stay awhile. Honestly, you won’t want to leave.
This was a shorter audiobook than I usually listen to but that in no way affected my enjoyment of Tempting. With triple narration provided by Lance Greenfield and Erin Mallon voicing the hero and heroine while Ava Erickson brought up the rear voicing the secondary characters, there was a steady flow to their performances with both Erin and Ava easily able to switch between voicing male/female roles. I did feel that Lance seemed to stress or overemphasis certain words as if he was adding exclamation marks for dramatic effect which did get to be a bit annoying but not enough that I felt I had to switch off.
Loved the female narrators
