A lot promised here but all in all rather tame.
From the blurb and title, I was expecting a thrilling story about temptation and confliction, about an older man and younger tease lusting after each other but one of them resists and resists until everything explodes...
What I got instead was a rather tame contemporary romance, there was no real confliction, the sexual chemistry never really got beyond a slow burn, but there were plenty of funny moments with mispronounced Italian and sexual propositions in the place of bread orders.
A good Sunday afternoon read, but nothing to break your rabbit's spare batteries out for.

I was beyond excited to read about Quinn and see him get his Happily Ever After. He is near and far away the best brother of this trio and the one who takes work seriously, is building the generational wealth, and raised his little brothers amidst all life threw at these kids is the one who deserves the happiest ending.
I did like this book for the most part, and it seemed a bit more realistic than normal insta-love.

This was a super sweet insta-love story with lots of steam and surprisingly very little heartache. This was my first book in the series and thankfully it's a standalone. Tempting Little Tease was a quick and easy read I thoroughly enjoyed. Quinn was a perfect gentleman that had me swooning one minute and feverishly hot the next! I loved that Alessandra was Quinn's Italian tutor. Their playful banter was so refreshing. Alessandra only has a few weeks before she moves to Italy, something she has dreamed about, but she didn't plan for Quinn. Quinn knows Alessandra leaving is something she has to do and wants to make the most of their time together. Will Alessandra leave or will Quin find a way for them to have a future together? This an enjoyable easy ready I finished in one afternoon, I just wish it would have had a bit more slow burn and for it to be longer. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Can I have a Quinn of my own? He was sexy, masculine, hung, and an all around amazing guy. Alessandra was an adorable woman and his perfect match. They had chemistry, heart and humor from the beginning. My one complaint was the 16 year age difference seemed a little creepy at first, but it really didn’t end up being much of a problem. These two were great together and I really loved this book.
⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶️🌶️🌶️ I love a good age gap! I feel like most age gap romances make a point of the younger one being a bit immature &I love that in this book they didn’t do that. She just behaved like a normal 22 year old ¬ represented like she was 16.
* I’d say Quinn was my favorite of the 3 Kingsley brothers. Maybe it’s because he was closest to my age or was more well rounded than the others. Alessandra was relaxed &fun. She was very relatable.
* The narrators did a great job with the Italian accent &pronunciation.
* Overall the series was good. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it for the story but would definitely recommend for the narration.
Themes:
* Age gap (15 years)
* Billionaire romance

I have never given Kendall Ryan five stars for any of the books I have read by her because I had never really connected with her characters before. But Tempting Little Tease? Oh. My. God. I LOVED THIS BOOK. Not only were the two main characters’ chemistry was off the charts, the mini doses of Italian and the who central idea of Italy itself made this book amazing for me. It’s my dream to go to Italy and I’m learning to speak it right now too. This book was just everything for me.

I listened to the audiobook on Hoopla.
I found this book to be the sweetest out of series! There’s not much of Quinn in the other 3 books so it was nice to get to know his character and discover his happy ending!
Spoiler below:::
So the question is… Are we going to see the long lost brother’s story next?!?

This is such a sweet story. I like a good conflict, as much as the next person. But, sometimes, I like smooth, sweet, and easy. That's what Tempting Little Tease was for me. It was such as easy listen. It won't be to everyone's taste, I'm sure, but for me, it was just what I was in the mood for. I loved how Quinn and Alessandra connected and started dating, knowing there was an end-date. Squeezing as much time together as possible.
Kendall Ryan has done it again. I love the way she writes, the way she pulls the reader into the story. I loved how the Italian was handled in this book. Sometimes another language can be hard to follow, but that wasn't the case in this book. This entire series has been a dream to listen to. Each book is so much more than I expected. Tempting Little Tease is no exception. It's no secret that Cooper took the top spot in the Kingsley Brothers book boyfriend battle, and although Quinn has given him a run for his money, Cooper is still very much on top.
I loved the characters in this book. The little glimpses into Gavin and Cooper's lives was a cute addition and made me smile. Alessandra was such a sweetheart, I loved her. I loved that she was independent, that she had her own thoughts and knew what she wanted out of life. I could see being pals with her. Quinn was super swoon worthy. He wasn't as alpha as I imagined him to be, which was actually really nice. I always loved that he was the one always taking care of his brothers, and that continued into his relationship with Alessandra, it was so adorable. The way he never pressured her, the fact he wanted her to live her dream. The sex scenes were smoking hot and fit with the story, it didn't feel rushed. The descriptions of Italy were wonderful and really made me want to visit, more than I did already.
This dual narration from Joe Arden and Megan Tusing was brilliant. Their voices really complemented each other, Joe's gruffness and Megan's sweetness really made it a wonderful listen, it was a genius pair-up. The Italian, swoon, can we take a second to just admire Joe and Megan's Italian? Because seriously, it was fantastic. Joe Arden was the perfect choice for Quinn. His tone was just how I imagined it would be. Megan was wonderful as Alessandra, sweet and sexy. This is one duo that everyone should be listening to. The production was great with no issues I noted.
At the end of TLT is a clip of Dirty Little Secret, performed by Zachary Webber & Megan Tusing. Which will whet your appetite for the series if you haven't listened to it yet.
