About this listen

You’ve heard the story about the wedding planner who falls for the groom?

Well, this is the one where she falls for his father.

And that groom? He’s my ex.

I didn’t realize who the gruff, gorgeous older man was the night he rescued me from a creep in a Manhattan hotel. All I knew was that a hot, bearded stranger with a protective streak showed up right when I needed a reminder that real gentlemen still exist.

(Although he left his manners behind after asking me up to his room.)

It was the hottest night of my life, but I never thought I’d see the former Navy SEAL again.

Imagine my surprise at the rehearsal dinner one week later, when my handsome stranger is introduced as the father of the groom. Even more surprising? What we felt in New York was no fluke.

In public, we pretend there’s nothing between us.

In private, we can’t keep our hands off each other.

The situation is beyond complicated. Zach never even knew he’d fathered a child until recently, and he wants to earn his son’s trust and respect. As for me, I’m looking for a man who wants to start a family, and Zach has made it clear he’s not that man. He’s older, newly divorced, and he lives across the country.

But no matter how many times we draw the line, we keep crossing it.

Nothing so wrong should ever feel so right.

Great One, must read

What a wonderful Story.
This had the perfect amount of passion, compassion and fun. It kept moving forward without slow spots. I love how it added the missing growth years and brought us to the present.
I kept rooting for the couple and really enjoyed the HEA.

A Delightfully Charming & Steamy Story! Fantastic🎧📚🎧

Melanie Harlow pens another fabulous novel, one grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it the entire time. I am not sure how this was my first visit to Cloverleigh Farms, I only know I loved the small town charm and that it is a place I am looking forward to visiting again, the characters are amazing, the type of people you want to be friends with and get to know. Millie MacAllister, an event and wedding planner, was in NY on a business trip and was stuck there another night because of her cancelled flight and the passing storm. After a call with her sister, Winnie, who convinced her to get out and enjoy herself, she heads to the hotel bar for a drink. She eyes a handsome guy across the bar, but as luck has it, the guy next to her creeps her out and she gets ready to leave, but not before that handsome stranger comes to her rescue. Zachary “Zach”Barrett, former Navy Seal, currently working security, just finished a job in NY when he stopped in the bar for a drink and when he saw her she was everything the admired in a woman. The two hit is off and spend a memorable and very steamy night together before heading back home, he to San Diego and she back to her home in Michigan. He gave her his business card, and she could not get him out if her mind and contemplated calling him. Zach thought of Millie as well, but he has other things going on in his life, like the possibility of having a grown son, Mason Holt. The same Mason Holt who Millie dated and was currently planning his wedding at Cloverleigh Farms. When Zach goes to meet his son and his future wife, he sees Millie again, but not wanting to complicate things, he wanted to keep their affair to themselves. Problem is Millie and Zach can not keep their hands off of each other and the time they spend together is their last time, which turns in to several last times since neither can resist the other. I loved the layers and complexity of this wonderfully plotted story, it has the perfect balance of drama, charm, heartfelt emotions and some steamy romance. I loved watching Millie follow thru with her dreams of opening her own business, and how it won’t be a cookie cutter shop like most. Melanie Harlow, thank you for this amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, the wonderfully talented Lucy Rivers and Sebastian York were the perfect cast to bring these characters and story to life. I loved how they take each role and make it their own and how believable they are in every role they play. They set the perfect tone for the story, capture all the character’s emotions and project them into their performance. These entertaining storytellers are versatile voice artists and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another amazing listen.

Loved everything about this one

I love my visits to Cloverleigh Farm and I have to say Tempt is one of my favourite reads in the series. This is Milie MacAllister and Zack Barrett’s journey and boy do they have a captivating tale to tell.
Sebastian York and Lucy Rivers were perfect with their narration. They all the highs, all the giggles as well as the lows and they were easy to listen to.
Millie is the wedding planner for Cloverleigh Farm and she is wrapped up planning her ex Mason and his new fiancé Lori’s wedding and as you can imagine that brings a lot of additional pressure and anxiety so when her sister Winnie challenges her to go down to the bar and flirt with a hot stranger she jumps at the chance. Imagine her surprise when the hot stranger turns out to be the man who rescued her from a married creep flirting with her when they were stranded at an airport in NYC…….
What follows is an entertaining and emotional journey as Zack and Millie fight the attraction they both feel, he thinks he is too old and not capable of love and she believes all her ex’s end up getting married to the next girl who walks into their life’s. So can this pair get past their insecurities and see what’s right in front of their nose, will they take a chance for themselves and stop worrying what others think…..one click to find that out.
This book has it all, it made me smile, it made me swoon, I giggled and at times I wanted to bang Zack and Millie’s heads together but what shone through was love and that’s what made this be written story very special. Love the second generation stories from Cloverleigh Farm and I’m excited for what’s next and the audible of Tempt.

Love

This is my second favorite of the new generation series. Ignite will still be number 1! I love how Mel was able to add her own spin on a class “ex boyfriends dad” Perfect spicy and small town feels.

Love Millie and Zach!

Oh the irony of Millie's ONS stand having a connection to her not so distant past. She sure did kiss a lot of frogs before she found Zach. She needed someone like Zach to balance out her independence. Does that make sense? He was older, mature, and made her feel wild and free. There were no obligations or deadlines to meet when they were together. The forbidden aspect may have lent itself to that. Millie and Zach had chemistry, but they were also perfect for each other. Keeping their relationship a secret I could have done without, but I understood why for Zach's sake. In the end, the author put it best, "Sometimes you just have to believe everything happens for a reason, and trust in the people you love to protect and guide you." Sigh..

Sebastian York and Lucy Rivers...chef's kiss... on the perfect pairing to voice Zach and Millie.

I received an advance copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.

Inferno of heat in here!

I think Tempt might actually be my favorite Melanie Harlow book ever. She went there with Zach. He was so much. He was an older man. A former Navy Seal (yum-o). Plus, he works private security and gets to travel. Not to mention, he’s dominating, strong and oh so confident. Millie is a perfect match for him. Can I add that I love that Harlow gives us real plus size women. We get women that have more than a handful. Women with curves for days. I appreciate that as a plus size woman myself. Millie is also a strong and confident woman. However, she doesn’t mind giving some of the power over to Zach behind closed doors. These two are an inferno together!

Then we learn WHO Zach is and everything kind of falls apart. Millie and Zach are magnets though. They cannot stay away. The title, Tempt, was perfect because these two have a high tension for tempting the other. They can’t fight it no matter how hard they try. What happens when the cat is out of the bag and everyone knows their secrets? Read or listen to find out! You won’t be disappointed! The narration by Sebastian York and Lucy Rivers was out of this world! The narration perfectly matched the story. York embodied this strong, alpha male flawlessly. Rivers was perfect at walking the life for Millie. She was strong but also didn’t mind submitting to her partner.

What a great finale to the Cloverleigh series!

I have loved the Cloverleigh Farms series so much and Tempt was a great finale to the series! I adored Millie and Zach. Age gap is not usually my thing, but Tempt totally changed that for me. I was excited to see that Millie was a plus-sized main character- it's always refreshing to read about someone so real and close to the average size of the American woman these days. Tempt had emotion, sweetness, and so much steam! Narrators Sebastian York and Lucy Rivers gave great performances. I listened at 1.3X, which is my typical speed, and I found the audio to be perfectly conversational for me at that speed.
