Tempting by Bella Matthews
4.0
Tempting is the first book in the Red Lips & White Lies series. We are back in Kroydon Hills and get the beautiful love story of Nixon and Kenzie.
Kenzie is back in town after finishing medical school and working as an OB-GYN. She is very focused on her career and is too busy to devote time to a relationship. Nixon is a professional hockey player who wants to put some distance between himself and his family name and escape the associated expectations. Hockey is his priority, and he is not looking for a relationship. Nixon and Kenzie have known each other since they were thirteen, and she was his first crush. Kenzie has a boss who makes her uncomfortable, so Nixon and Kenzie agree to fake date to keep his antics at bay.
I adored Nixon and Kenzie. They were exactly what each other needed. Nixon and Kenzie might be one of my favorite couples in the Kroydon Hills universe. They had amazing chemistry, and their banter was so fun. Nixon is the perfect book boyfriend! He is protective, possessive, and has a huge heart. He fell hard for Kenzie and gave her what she needed. Nixon wanted Kenzie and was not afraid to let that be known. Kenzie experienced much growth throughout the story, and I love how she learned to be bold and ask for what she wanted. Nixon and Kenzie found comfort in each other and developed an amazing emotional connection.
Found family is one of my favorite tropes in romance books, and I love the Kroydon Hills crew. Tempting is a well-written story with a good mix of romance, swoony moments, humor, and spice. It also contains some really good life lessons. This story reminds us not to allow fear to keep us from going after what we want. It also reminds us that everything happens for a reason. Tempting is a great start to this new series, and I can't wait to see what comes next.
