I wasn’t in the headspace required for an angstfest and Temptation was a perfect choice. I listened to this book while I was away at a conference, so I really appreciated how sweet the story is. She’s so well suited to Bryant’s stories and this was no exception. The NarrationĪs always, I adored Brittni Pope’s narration. It was paced well, the sex scenes were smoking hot, and the dialogue was great. The tone of Temptation is light and it has little angst, which worked well for me. I would have loved to see her perspective and join her as she changes throughout the story, so I could know her side of WHY she’s in for that HEA.Īlso, I was happy to see that Noah is totally believable as a 6 year old and that he’s a whole character, not just there to push the story along. Because she keeps things fairly close to her chest, we don’t get much of a view into that journey, so I feel like I have to take her at her word for it when she says she’s all in for their happily ever after (HEA) at the end. Brook goes through a lot of change over the course of Temptation as she reevaluates her priorities, giving her a much bigger journey than Cassie. All of that makes her understandably standoffish, and she’s mainly an ice queen because she doesn’t have time for distractions, including a relationship. Because it’s Cassie’s perceptive, we also see how Brook starts to thaw, even though we never get a view into Brook’s thoughts.īrook has been through a lot, between her divorce and helping run a company. She loves her grandmother more than anything and it’s sweet to see how Noah takes to her right away. She’s very easy to like, since she’s warm and funny.

The whole story is told from Cassie’s perspective in the first person, so we get to know her best.

But can they really resist the pull between them? The Characters A nanny won’t solve everything, but having help with Noah’s mornings and after-school hours will ease a lot of the burden.īrook and Cassie are attracted to each other and they both know they shouldn’t do anything with it. Her ex is barely around to help and and Brook is the Chief Operating Officer at her family’s company, however, so she knows it’s time to get some help. When an opportunity to nanny for the beautiful, wealthy Brook Wellington falls into Cassie’s lap, she knows it’s the answer to her financial woes, especially since the job comes with living quarters on the estate.īrook Wellington’s son, Noah, is her top priority.

She needs to find a job fast if she wants to be able to make ends meet while pursuing her passion in graduate school. Temptation by Kris Bryant is a book that was basically written for me: opposites attract, age gap romance between a single mom and the nanny she hires to take care of her son.Ĭassie Miller’s parents cut her off when she dropped out of medical school.
