Coming home to keep the veterinarian clinic open after the passing of her grandfather brings the disappearance of her friend too close to home when a letter left to her from her grandfather takes her on a scavenger hunt like no other. Add in that Officer Mike, who she meets and feels an attraction to the moment she returns, just happens to be a history buff and works through the clues with her. But things are not what they seem and secret societies who do not want attention thrown their way is also in the mix. Taking the two on a wild ride that will keep the reader on the edge of their seats. A wonderful story jammed packed with truth, lies, attraction and mayhem.

One of my favorite reads!
This book have the perfect combination. Suspense, Mistery, Humor. It was hard to put it down. I loved the chemistry between Mike and Sidney. The hot, sexy and funny moments. It was perfect for me. A well written story, highly recommended. Don't hesitate to give it a chance. You won't be dissappointed.

‘Dangerous Temptations’ is the latest co-write between the dream team that is Kelly Elliott & Kristin Mayer, who were responsible for the outstanding previous co-write ‘Play Me’. We’ve been itching to read another novel by these two lovely ladies, and at last our prayers have been answered with this enchanting and enthralling read.
Thank you to HEA PR team & Kelly Elliott for the ARC, which has enabled me to write this pre-release, spoiler-free review for you all.
‘Dangerous Temptations’ quite literally tempts you right from the beginning with the blurb, promising a potential rendezvous between Mike Murphy, the new town cop, and the woman who will set many things besides his heart, in motion. Among other things. Stepping away from the small-town, cowboy romance for somewhere a bit more…bewitching. A refreshing change of pace and scenery all round.
Don’t worry though, those southern cowboy romances are still my favourite, and will always make me swoon a dozen times or more!
Throughout this book there are several underlying and surface themes. If one doesn’t appeal to you, you bet there’s one in there that will instead. Weather that be the love of the mysterious, deducing clues like Sherlock Holmes, rooting for romance or having a good laugh at situations you can imagine yourselves in. A good rib-tickling time!
As briefly outlined before, this is not your typical Kelly Elliott/Kristin Mayer small-town romance read. The blurb doesn’t give much away as to where or when this book takes place, which is the first mystery we are here to solve before turning the first page. Ten points to anyone who is able to guess correctly before turning to chapter one! I didn’t and yet I was thoroughly surprised and eager to read more about this story and it’s setting, as it is not somewhere I often come across very often. Ten points to KE&KM for making things interesting!
The main thing that will capture you when reading this book, is the inclusiveness you’ll feel as you journey along with Mike and the gang. Vivid descriptive detail will make you feel as if you are merely one step beside the characters, seeing, feeling, sensing, experiencing what they do and that is one massive draw to any of Kelly’s (or Kristin’s) other books. You’re not just reading a story, you’re living it! ‘Dangerous Temptations’ will have you guessing alongside the characters as they move through their journey as friends, something more, and all that comes their way. You’ll be glad you came along for the ride. Twenty points!
Other than the draw of the inclusive storyline, you’ll find that the expertly and artistic twist on real life series of events, fiction and history have been mixed, blended together and made into something beautifully creative and unique. Yes, this isn’t the first time that this has been done, but done by two talented writers we can all aspire and look up to, you’ll enjoy this twist on the conventional and ‘traditional’, leaving you craving for more, more, more. Thirty points!
Overall, going into this completely blind other than reading the blurb, it was most definitely one for the books, if you’ll pardon the pun. With it definitely being one of the best books coming from either and both authors respectively, as was their previous co-write. I don’t think as far as I’m concerned, you could ever really go wrong when reading a book written by the dynamic K-duo. If you see their names on any one book, buy it immediately and immerse yourselves in the story and enjoy what surprises you’ll encounter along the way. Seventy points!!!
After all, you’ll be dangerously tempted NOT to get this book. I know I’ll be adding this to my paperback to-buy list.
Consider me tempted, tempted and tempted times a million. Kelly and Kristin, you’ve done it again ladies. Along with the 100 brilliant points I’m awarding you both for this book, you’ve got five more mystical stars!
Take a bow ladies. Take. A. Bow!

I don’t even know where to begin with this review. I can’t form how much I love this book into words, so this will probably be pretty short and sweet. I have a serious book hangover. I would rate this book A MILLION STARS if I could. I am that in love with it!
I loved Sydney, plain and simple, I just loved her. She had some sassiness to her and she was an adventurer at heart. Mike, well who doesn’t love cop!? The two of them together were perfect. They hit it off from the very first meeting and then together went on one crazy adventure together.
Dangerous Temptations is so much more than just a romance story. I loved the mystery and the adventure. This book ticked so many boxes for me. It had romance, an awesome heroine, a sexy cop, an hilarious family (seriously, Mike’s parents killed me), adventure and secrets! I DEVOURED this story. I loved EVERY SINGLE MOMENT, EVERY SINGLE TWIST and TURN. Think steamy romance novel meets the Da Vinci Code.
I don’t think I can recommend this book enough. It is a MUST READ and one of my favorite books of 2019 hands down!
