About this listen
My best friend’s little brother is all grown up.
Figuring out my sexuality at nearly 40 years old has been a revelation, but dating hasn’t been any easier. After a failed engagement, I know what’s important to me, and I refuse to settle anymore.
So when my best friend asks me if I can help his little brother settle in after being away, it sounds like a pleasant distraction. I always thought Felix was a sweet kid. Only 10 years later, he’s definitely all grown up. He owns his glamorous style and larger than life personality, and I’m hooked.
But regardless of my budding interest, there is way too much at stake to even consider dating Felix.
We’ll have to keep it just friends, as long as he doesn’t tempt me...
Tempt Me is a steamy, best friend’s brother, age gap, low angst, tale featuring a sassy chocolatier who can rock a heel and lipstick, a tattoo artist ready to explore his newly accepted sexuality, and two opposites who definitely attract. It is book five in the Tattoos and Temptation series featuring hot Miami nights, Latin desserts, and guys with ink.
It can be listened to as a stand-alone, but why would you do that? Start with Marry Me and meet all the guys from T&T.

Story
He’s the hottest man I’ve ever seen. I’m shy, not hot, and eating entirely too many pastries every day just to see my crush. It’s ridiculous to pine for a guy so far out of my league, but here we are. When I confide in my friend about my crush, he pumps me up, giving me the courage to find out if this is a passing infatuation or the beginning of something more. All I have to do is ask Wyatt to Date Me.

My loser high school friend never deserved him anyway. If I’d had the chance, I would have locked Remy down years ago. Only, when the party leads to a drunken kiss, going on their honeymoon, and sharing their marital bed, I have to say, I’m not entirely sad that their wedding went up in flames.

Zach has been my ride-or-die since we were nine. Business partners, roommates, best friends... we do everything together. But the last thing either of us expected was to be staring 40 in the face just as single as we both were when we made a silly, drunken marriage pact 20 years ago. The problem? Zach is gay...and, well, I’m not.

Story
When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Milo. Unusual. Quirky. Different. I’ve heard it all. I’ve accepted I’m not for everyone. When I find out I inherited a bookstore and apartment on a small East Coast island, I jump at the chance for a new life. Turns out I’ve also inherited a sexy, tattooed guy who not only rents the space next to my store but my apartment too. Gideon. I wasn’t looking for a roommate, but it’s not like I can stay at Milo’s place while he’s banished to a hotel. According to Milo, we’re bestie goals. And if he doesn’t wear pants at home, who am I to complain?

Conor: It starts with a drunken text pic. The kind I would normally never send. Only, instead of it going to the flirty hotel bartender, it goes to some random stranger who actually responds. Wells: The first thing I notice about Conor Newell when he sits down in my high-rise conference room is how delightfully nervous he is. Then I see his tie. The same geeky tie that’s held hostage on my phone. The one that belongs to my anonymous late-night texter. And it changes everything.

When my little brother’s best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer. I need this. I also need Beau to wear a shirt. And ditch the gray sweatpants. And not leave his door ajar when he’s in compromising positions...

I spent college worrying about responsibilities and earning my teaching degree, so before graduation and moving to Atlanta with my best friend, Ross, I figure I deserve a little fun. I’ve never been with an older man, but the guy at the bar grabs my attention and doesn’t let go…for multiple rounds, all night long. The next day, when Ross introduces me to his dad, the last thing I expect is for him to be my hookup from the night before, in town from Atlanta for his son’s graduation. The best thing would be to pretend it never happened, which is easier said than done.

Mike Bravo saved my life, and they want me to join them, but there’s one small problem. Isaac “Iris” Griffin. He’s as irresistibly snarky as he always was, only there’s a big difference this time.

But something tells me Iris might be worth the insubordination.

Story
Between running a garage full of beefed-up gear-head mechanics and bailing my idiot brother out of trouble every other week, the last thing I have time for is a relationship. I’ve tried it too many times, and the ridiculous reasons I always find to end it have become a running joke around the garage. But I’ve learned my lesson. No. More. Boyfriends. I don’t care how many times Porter falls asleep drunk in my bed or how cute he looks covered in oil smears while I teach him how to fix up the vintage car he has rusting away in his garage; I’m not going to fall for him.

The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience, to have some fun. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types, or to find purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn’t expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude - I’ve never been one to put down roots.

Good though frustrating angst at times

Baker Felix (29) has returned home to Miami after a decade abroad, and his crush on his brother's best friend Apollo (39) is as strong as ever. Tattoo artist Apollo, meanwhile, is tentatively exploring his bisexuality and can't help but see his best friend's younger brother with new eyes. He eagerly welcomes Felix back into his life and friends circle, and it's not long before their relationship takes a romantic turn.
This angst-free story is very sweet, and packs a healthy amount of lace-clad, Kindle-melting steam. Felix is unapologetically himself, which Apollo relishes, and finds an easy acceptance in the larger friends group that he'd been lacking.
There's also a delightful mix of lovey-dovey declarations and dirty talk expertly nailed by the narrator. I had expected a bit longer of a wooing period, particularly with the surprise romantic gestures, but apparently they couldn't wait that long to seal the deal on their relationship (lol).
The large cast of secondary characters plays an important role in this story, so I'd recommend reading the previous books in this terrific series. I received this free review copy audio book by request and have left this honest review voluntarily.

Kale Williams’ glorious voice brings this love story to life on the Tempt Me audiobook. He uses his honeyed tones and several different, delectable French accents for Felix, his older brother Lucien, and their mother and father, in combination with his superb narrating skills. Listening to Tempt Me is death by chocolate and French accents … What a way to go. *happy sigh*
This book is written in the language of love. Sappy? Yes. Romantic? Absolutely. Poetic? Most definitely. There’s no angst here, just a light, sweet romantic treat that warms your heart while showcasing the beauty of effusive, all-in love.
Felix is Apollo’s best friend Lucien’s younger brother. They’ve known each other since childhood, but the last time Apollo saw Felix, Felix was still a teenager. Felix has been honing his craft in Paris for the past decade, so when he returns to Miami, his time away combined with the eleven-year age gap between them (Apollo is 40, Felix is 29), results in a stunning revelation for Apollo. Felix isn’t a kid anymore. He is a beautiful, sexy, gorgeous man that checks all of Apollo’s boxes. He unexpectedly finds that Felix is the guy he wants to explore his newly discovered bisexuality with. But not as an experiment. It’s because he realizes Felix may be his “person” — the one he’s been waiting for.
Felix is absolutely adorable (although he may not appreciate me calling him that 😉). He is sweet, down-to-earth, and fully connected with his own thoughts and desires. He is the epitome of a strong, sassy man who is unapologetically himself — heels, lingerie, slinky clothes, shiny long hair, makeup, and all. Apollo is opposite in appearance but very similar in terms of his outlook on life and understanding of who he is as a person. He epitomizes an open-minded, inquisitive man who’s comfortable in his own skin and not afraid to go for what he wants, even if it’s a departure from everything he thought he was or wanted before. Apollo is the perfect counterpoint to Felix who is super-secure, generous of heart and spirit, and looking for that French swoon-worthy love that he never found in France because his heart was always holding out for Apollo.
In Tempt Me, Ms. Monroe pays homage to food as a love language with Felix as the artistic chef. But it’s not in lieu of openly and proudly expressing his feelings in words. Felix and Apollo aren’t shy about declarations of their affection, attachment and commitment to each other. This is not a story about doubting or hiding feelings.
Remember Tate and Nix in Free Me? Two men who have known each other forever became inseparable and then broke apart. Thirteen years later, they fall back on their long history and revive their deep connection as easy as breathing. Felix and Apollo are like that but without the devastating separation. They’ve known each other forever and after a ten-year separation, they create a new connection that’s better and stronger than the best friend’s brother relationship they had before.
Tempt Me is a joyful celebration of love. Kale Williams brings that joy to life. You hear his investment in the characters and in Felix and Apollo’s relationship. But perhaps more importantly, you can hear that he is having fun. You can tell he is loving giving Felix and Apollo’s love story life. That exuberance, coupled with his undeniable vocal chops, allows him to deliver an ebullient listening experience. You’ll find yourself smiling throughout and feeling all schmoopy and exceedingly happy by the end.
I truly enjoyed the Tempt Me book when I read it when it was released last year. However, the Tempt Me audiobook is a prime example of a narrator’s vocal performance creating an auditory experience that is greater than the sum of its parts. Simply put, Tempt Me is better with the audio, which is certainly saying something since the book is terrific all on its own. You cannot resist the pull of Felix’s delicious French accent, Apollo’s smooth, resonant baritone, Saint’s sexy Scottish brogue, and the warm familiarity of the voices Mr. Williams consistently delivers for all of the other Black Heart and Dulce Santo men. Throw in chocolate, french pastries, tattoos, piercings, hot guys, and hotter sex, and you’ve got a winner of a love story.
Death by chocolate and French accents *happy sigh*

Helping out his best friend, Apollo, can't say no to Felix when he needs a place to land.
But, Felix is all grown up now and he is shaking things up with all of his allure and lace.
As Apollo is on a path of new discoveries, Felix is just the right guy to open his eyes to all that he had been missing in life.
This was a sweet, low angst listen. With sassy, colorful characters, sexy scenes and an engaging plot.
The narration was amazing, especially the accents. once again, a fantastic job by Mr Williams.

Tempt Me titillates the senses, as Felix brings his ‘little brother’ relationship back from 10 years in France, to surprise Apollo into seeing him through different eyes. With an age difference that each understands could block how they expect the other to feel AND the incredibly lucky ‘not’ challenge that Felix is Apollo’s best friend Lucien’s younger brother, you know each of these men are going to go through some soul searching.
As an exquisite creator of chocolate and sugar work, Felix gently enters the group of artist friends, both tattoo and cake, but is still drowning in his dream man, Apollo. Apollo has feelings he is recognizing are leading him to care deeply for Felix-much deeper than just a friend, and we feel ALL of these feels through the fabulous narration of Kale Williams.
This is a great series with great narration!
