Tempting by Bella Matthews
4.0
Bella Matthews has delivered yet another swoon-worthy, spicy sports romance in Tempting, the first book in her highly anticipated new series. Fans of her previous works will be thrilled to dive into the world of hockey’s golden boy, Nixon Sinclair, and his irresistible fake-dating escapade.
The story grabs you from the start with its fun, flirty premise—a little white lie that spirals into an intoxicating mix of passion, humor, and heartfelt emotion. Nixon is the kind of leading man readers dream of: confident, fiercely protective, and utterly devoted in ways that make you melt. Pair that with his sizzling chemistry with the heroine, and you have a romance that feels electric on every page.
Matthews’ writing shines with her trademark wit and emotional depth. The banter is sharp, the spice is on point, and the intimate moments? Let’s just say they’re toe-curling and then some. But beyond the heat, there’s a genuine connection between the characters that makes you root for them—through all their sneaking around and reluctant realizations about what they truly want.
For fans of her previous series, Tempting also offers the joy of seeing beloved characters’ children step into their own spotlight. It’s a wonderful blend of nostalgia and fresh excitement, perfectly setting the stage for what promises to be an unmissable series.
If you’re into fake dating tropes, steamy sports romances, or just love a good “teach me” storyline with a hero who checks every box, Tempting is a must-read. Highly recommended!
