Find this review and more at Lusty Penguin Reviews!Far Too Tempting by Lauren Blakely is a fun, light, and thoroughly entertaining contemporary romance. Blakely pulls the reader in effectively using first person voice to tell the story through Jane Black’s eyes.As indie music artist known as Queen of the Dumped, Jane finally achieves the success all musicians strive for, winning the Grammy for Album of the Year. Now the “it” celebrity, Jane is approached by Matthew Harrigan of Beat magazine, who wants to do exposé on Jane and the writing of her follow-up album. Completely attracted to Matthew’s good looks and British accent, Jane feels sexy and beautiful, something she never felt while married to Aidan. Jane is a compelling character as she works to heal herself after her failed marriage. I couldn’t help but cheer for her as she embarks on a relationship with Matthew and risks trusting another with her secret desires and plans for the future. As Jane and Matthew get to know each other, their witty dialogue, filled with tons of musical references, kept the pages turning. As a music lover myself, I really loved Jane’s top ten list of breakup songs. The sexual tension between Jane and Matthew just sizzles throughout the story. When they finally succumb to their desires, their bedroom play is steamy and passionate. Another aspect of this story that I truly adored was the parallel story lines of Jane trying to solve her writer’s block and starting to explore her relationship with Matthew, which adds depth to this story.Delightful characters, emotional plot twists, and plenty of music make Far Too Tempting a deliciously seductive read that you won’t want to end.I received an eBook copy of the book from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility.
