love this

This emotional story tugs at the heart. Daphne is a single mom with the cutest little girl that steals the whole story. Hayden is funny, loveable and charming.
Jack, "Jock Steele, is handsome confident, charming and oozes sex. but why does he avoid Hadley so much?
Daphne and Jock's connection is fun, flirty, sexy and hot. If Jock couldn't get past his phobia with Hadley, she would have to call it off. Jock had a secret he needed to tell her. If didn't, he knew he may lose her forever.
Jennifer Mac and Brian Pallino both bring depth to each character. They live the story. I can feel each moment of anguish, anger, torment, fear, throughout the story. Thank you for bringing this story to life.

Lost interest half way through…

Cute story but lost interest half way through, I agree with another reviewer that is got cheesy. Also, I am not into the little girl voices in a sexy romance book. It just felt odd and made me lose interest.

Good story, didnt enjoy third person story telling

My 1st Melissa Foster story, I liked the story, I liked the characters but I did not enjoy how the characters are narrated in 3rd person. It's like their talking about themselves instead of telling the story. Whats the point in having the narrator tell the story in their voices if they are talking in third person? you could have had just 1 narrator. I also had a hard time listening to the female narrator do "Jock's" parts. She gave him a young boys voice and tone, which made it hard to picture him as grown man when she talked. Almost a little creepy especially during ther intimate scenes. over all I did like the story just wish It was written from their view in more of a real time feel...Example male Narrator reading Jocks parts, " He then said to her I love you blah blah blah" when it should have been " I then told her I love you blah blah" not exact line but you catch my drift. Not sure I will be downloading the 2nd book because of this. Just my personal preference, I suppose I like to get lost in the characters telling the story as it goes not hearing it like past tense...

Good story!

This is a good start to this spin off series. Jock and Daphne are two people that are truly damaged. Jock with the tragic loss of his girlfriend and unborn child and Daphne with the abuse and rejection that she suffered from by her ex husband. The pair find healing from their pasts and love for their future with the assistance of Daphne's daughter Hadley. Also, in this book the characters from other series and books make an appearance so that everything is connected. This book was heart breaking at times but with a great ending. At risk of giving away too much, this was a great book that I enjoyed from the start just like all of the other books that Ms. Foster has written. I also enjoyed the narration performed by Jennifer Mack and Brian Pallino. This is the first time that I have listened to the pair and they did a great job bringing this story to life. I would recommend this book to others.

Archer Steele redeemed himself

Wow - Indi and Archer took me on a rollercoaster ride for sure! What started as a steamy physical attraction turned into a well-earned happily-ever after in this one, that's for sure. Emotional, full of tension, but such a satisfying journey.

Archer has everything stacked against him. He's broody. He's arrogant. He's closed off. But really, he just needed the right woman to open his heart to the love that he deserved. Luckily for him, Indi came along. Their love was thrown a few curve balls along the way, but this is a truly prime example of an emotional Melissa Foster book, and it's definitely worth the ride.

Narrated by Andi Arndt and Aiden Snow, the audiobook is really engaging, and keeps you listening.

Love Jock, Daphne and Hadley!

Jack “Jock” Steele is a best-selling author who suffered a tragedy. His guilt over loosing his girlfriend and baby, caused Jock to distance himself from his family. Harvey, the owner of a children’s theatre and the man Jock become a caretaker for in his aging years, became Jock’s lifeline. When Harvey passed away, he left Jock a large inheritance that he would receive once he wrote another book. For the past decade, Jock has been unable to write. Until a sweet little girl and her beautiful mother unexpected crashed into his life.

Daphne Zablonski is a single mother. After what her ex-husband put her through, she is cautious when it comes to love. Daphne was instantly attracted to Jock after meeting him at their friend’s wedding the year before; little did she know he felt the same. When he returns from his travels and stays in a cottage at the resort where Daphne works, it gets harder and harder for them to hide their attraction to another, that is until Hadley, Daphne’s toddler daughter, takes a liking to Jock.

This is a wonderful story about a friendship, love, forgiveness and a determined little girl to help a tortured soul find his way back his family and the man he was before; as well as show a single mother that happily every after really does exist. Great narration.

Perfect HEA for Jock

Audiobook Review: I read Tempted by Love before I listened to it. As I read the book, I could hear that tones and voices that Jock would sound like, and I am thrilled that Brian Pallino matched what I had imagined. Brian Pallino, narrator, did an amazing job telling Jock’s story. Jock’s story is full of emotion, heartbreak, and love that I hear in every word that I listened to. Jennifer Mack, narrator, did a perfect job of telling Daphne’s story. Daphne’s strength, love, and loyalty shined through in every word I heard. As always, Melissa Foster found the perfect narrators to tell her story.

eBook Review: Jock has my heart. I knew from the first time I met him that his story would break my heart and bring me to tears and it did. His life has not been easy, and his grief had taken over his life until he met a man that pushed him to move past it while learning to live again. He meets Daphne and sparks fly but he must learn how to open his heart to her little girl before they can move forward. Hadley, Daphne’s daughter, has Jock wrapped around her fingers and Jock knows that his life will not be complete without her in it. He looks at his past, sees what his future could be and does all that has to be done to find his HEA.

Daphne is a single mother who wants the one man who cannot be around her daughter. She is strong enough to know that she cannot put herself before Hadley’s happiness and makes that hard decision to not start a relationship with Jock. Until Jock realizes that he must have both of them and he lets Daphne see how much he is trying and how much he can love them. I love how strong Daphne is. She stays true to herself and Hadley all while opening her heart again to love.

In true Melissa Foster style the story of Jock and Daphne will tug at your heart and make you believe in true love.

My Thoughts on Tempted by Love

What an emotional but oh so romantic story. I absolutely loved every moment of it. And just when I would think that things would be winding down to the HEA, another twist or unexpected turn would be thrown in and have me pulled even deeper into the story. My heart broke for Jock and everything he’d been through. His past was filled with so much hurt and loss that I wanted nothing more then for him to find happiness. And Daphne absolutely felt like the perfect fit for him. I loved how her daughter Hadley was not only her priority, but the catalyst for so much positive progression in the story. I also really loved the introduction to more new characters and this kickoff to the Steele family. I loved all of them and cannot wait to hear their stories.

This one was perfectly narrated by Jennifer Mack and Brian Pallino. Both of whom I’ve heard before and enjoyed, but absolutely loved voicing these characters. Brian had this gruff tone that I really felt suited Jock and Jennifer sounded energetic and passionate. This was all around a fantastic listening experience.
