Tempted by Willow Winters, Lauren Landish

3.0

Tempted is a unique romance book beginning with a funeral and heartbroken Woman named Elizabeth and a very hot neighbor Liam. The story evolves as the charters get into each other's orbit. Living next door in her dead stepfather's rental, Liam feels like he knows all about Elizabeth and already loves her just from the stories he has heard her father tell. He was there when he took his last breath. Elizabeth is unsure about this man, let alone why he is her neighbor. She is heartbroken over her stepfather's death. The drama really begins when the reading of the will surprises-both characters and leaves them in a more stubborn battle besides just attraction. Elizabeth must now think about what she will do and agree to a date with the mystery neighbor. She just wants to know what and why he is getting more from her stepfathers' death than she is. This book twists and turns as the characters grow closer, eventually putting Elizabeth in danger due to Liam's business. Raging mad, she must decide if she loves him or if due wants nothing to do with him. Can she accept the Bad Boy Next Door? Will he leave being bad for her? 

This book was a quick standalone read for me, something to pass the time, and I enjoyed the story, the drama, and the romance. Everyone loves a bad boy, right, even when they look so good. This story is filled with sexual tension, relief, murder, and so many naughty things. The characters weren't well developed, but the reader knew enough to get involved for a standalone book. It didn't really invoke a feeling, but I enjoyed the action if the read anyway. I love how the author evolved an unknown man into a surprise love. I wish we would have had more information on the setting as it made following the action difficult. This romance is perfect for a quick read or just a look at what a bad boy can be. The Authors did a great job of leaving the story with enough to think there may be more to it or another book.
