Tempting by Bella Matthews
3.0
Longtime friends Nix and Mac start fake dating to fend off Mac’s boss, but soon realize their feelings are more real than they expected.
Though this book can be read as a standalone, the extended family dynamics were overwhelming and confusing, especially if you’re not familiar with the previous series.
The pacing felt rushed, with the story jumping from secrecy to marriage and pregnancy with little buildup. While the chemistry between Nix and Mac was enjoyable, the focus on their intrusive family overshadowed their relationship.
The large cast of characters and limited world-building made it hard to keep track of everyone, and the subplot with Dr. Dick, specifically around the end of the book, felt unnecessary.
Overall, it’s a decent, quick read with a fun Gossip Girl-style twist through the newspaper articles. However, if you haven’t read the earlier books in the series, I’d recommend starting there to fully appreciate this one.
Thank you so much Bella and Valentine PR for this arc🫶
