Entice
by Ava Harrison
**ARC provided in exchange for an honest review**
- 3.5 stars -
Entice was a straight-forward, a bit taboo, contemporary romance. The main character is River, who has a crush on her father's friend Grayson, who is 15 years older than her. She first met him when she was 12, but then her father and Grayson had a falling out, so it has been years since she last saw him. When River hears that her father is meeting Grayson after all these years, she can't resist and tags along. Grayson feels a strong attraction towards her, however, he doesn't remember her at first. After the realization that River is his old friend's daughter, he does whatever is in his power to keep her at a distance. River wants him now more than ever, but will keep her dignity when dealing with him. Grayson tries to stay away but the more he gets the know her the stronger his feelings get for her.
This book was a nice contemporary romance without too much drama. River has her insecurities and so does Grayson, but I think they were a good match. Even though River is only 20, I think she acted pretty mature most of the time. She could keep up with Grayson, and loosened him up, which he definitely needed. He came across as broody, cold, and too serious. I enjoyed reading about Grayson's relationship with his siblings, and I am intrigued to know more about his younger brother Jaxson. I was happy that the book wasn't just straight up sex, and that the author took the time for the characters to grow as individuals and as a couple.
