Tempting Promises
by Corinne Michaels
Corinne Michales is an author I've enjoyed for a bit now, I still have a decent amount of her backlist to read, but I've also finished at least three of her longer series and this series is just next level. Don't get me wrong, I've honestly enjoyed everything I've read from her, so for this series to be next level? It's 100% one you don't want to miss, especially if you love small town romances.
Rowan and Charlotte do not like each other, even a little bit. Rowan is supposedly responsible for making Charlotte's sister leave town and never return. Rowan knows the truth about what happened with Charlotte's sister, but it's not worth the fight. The people who believe the lies aren't worth his time, that included Charlotte, even if they are neighbors and always running into each other. But getting trapped in a cabin in the middle of an ice storm, just the two of them can change a lot of things. They can promise each other that what happens in the cabin stays in the cabin, but when real feelings become part of the equation, that is harder than it sounds. There's a lot on the line if they try to make a real go of things, and it's hard to tell if it's all worth it in the end.
I really enjoyed this whole story and I loved the relationship development between Rowan and Charlotte. The banter between them at the start of this was seriously top-notch, and the slow progression into more was perfect. The both of them realizing they had the wrong idea about the other person, while still keeping that flirty banter going? It's an absolute favorite of mine. I loved that Rowan always looked out for Charlotte, even when he didn't like her. It just proves that he's a good guy and completely swoon worthy. I loved how the third act conflict played out, especially how Rowan handled the entire situation. I was worried about how everything with Charlotte's sister was going to play out, but I shouldn't have been. Corinne hasn't led me astray yet and I don't think she will.
✔️ Enemies to Lovers
✔️ Neighbors
✔️ Forced Proximity (Stranded Together)
✔️ Forbidden (Sister's Ex)
