Bella Matthews' "Tempting" begins with a thought-provoking quote from an unknown person: "Time is precious. Make sure you spend it with the right people." This sentiment rings true not only for our relationships but also for our reading choices. Bella Matthews certainly delivers the right book with this sizzling debut in her brand-new series, Red Lips & White Lies.

The question of whether Bella Matthews will ever produce anything less than a five-star must-read remains unanswered because "Tempting" is another triumph. This first instalment sets the series in motion with Mackenzie and Nix, whose chemistry is off the charts. Ms Matthews draws readers into an irresistible storyline of instant attraction and undeniable romance.

Mackenzie returns home after completing her residency, now working as a doctor at the local hospital. Hockey player Nix is not just her brother's best friend, but Mackenzie is also best friends with Nix's sister. This close-knit circle of family and friends adds a layer of rich banter and camaraderie to the story, enhancing the fiery passion that ignites between the main characters.

What starts as one fake date quickly turns into something much deeper. True to its title, "Tempting" is indeed tempting, alluring, seductive, and, most importantly, intoxicating. Bella Matthews has once again penned a captivating tale that readers won't be able to put down.
