When Tess’s estranged husband dies, Tess decides to make a
change. She and her best friend Anna pin up a map, blindfold Tess and let pin
the finger on the map decide where she’s going. That’s how Tess ended up
driving across the country to Acacia, California.
Tess and Ward’s first meeting was not love at first sight.
In fact, it was more dislike at first sight. But even though they disliked each
other, there was a spark. Something was there.
While I definitely enjoyed Once Tempted, I was a bit
disappointed with the first half of the book. I was reading about two
co-workers who were just that, co-workers. I didn’t feel any passion, any spark
between them. I kept waiting for the romance, the looks, the sizzle.
About halfway through the book, I started to see the passion
between them. It was sprung on me very quickly. We went from no sizzle, no
spark, to full on inferno. Once we reached that point, the story really picked
up. I got into it at that point.
I found Ward completely lovable and kind. Just the kind of
man you want! Tess really grew as a person and was very likable. The ending of
the book was predictable. I figured out what was going to happen and I was
right.
However, even knowing how things were going to turn out, I
still enjoyed the story. Sometimes having something predictable is nice. I’m
looking forward to the next story in this series. I wonder who it will be
about, Reid or Quinn? Either one would be great! They were fantastic secondary
characters in this story and I can’t wait to read their stories!
