First, I have to thank ValentinePR and the author for gifting me an ARC of this book!

Tempting Promises is a seriously obsessive, wonderfully steamy, enemies to lovers story between two longtime rivals, Rowan and Charlotte. When a work contract comes up that will save both of their farms for the foreseeable future, they both go for it. But the universe has plans to throw Rowan and Charlotte together at every turn and the constant “hateful” tension is *chefs kiss* I was so invested in this story from reading a previous book and Rowan and Charlotte’s story was PERFECT!

I saw a lot of myself in Charlotte and the way she tries to take everything on herself and just wants to fix things. I did feel for her and the way she thought she needed to be alone because everyone left anyway

Enemy to lovers is one of my favorite tropes, and the way he wouldn’t give up on her or her farm at the end is just the cherry on top!!

Enemies to lovers….. what more can I say???? This has been my favorite of the series so far. I loved the plot and both of the characters so much and loved seeing their relationship develop through the book. A caring MMC tending to a hurt FMC is *chefs kiss*. Oh and did I mention forced proximity??? LOVE 

Rowan and Charlotte
Enemies to lovers, small town, sister’s ex fuck buddy, one bed, snowed in. 
I didn’t read the first 2 in this series because my bestie said this one was the best. I read this in less than a day. It was really good. 
It was a little abrupt, one minute Rowan saying he’d never be “that type of guy” and then the next minute they decide to be in a relationship. A total 180 in like, a day- maybe a week (a week that they were apart, I might add).  Nonetheless, I loved Rowan. 
I’d give this 3.5🔥 there’s 9 spicy scenes and a very fun surprise in the epilogue 🍑👈🏻
