Far Too Tempting was a fantastic read. Jane Black was a struggling musician that is until her husband leaves her, breaking her heart in the process, but allowing her to write "the essential breakup album for the modern age." Matthew Harrigan is one of the music industry's most powerful critics and after Jane's success he wants to write an article about the making of her new album. The only problem with this is the basically instant attraction they have to each other, which normally wouldn't be a problem except that he makes her happy and a happy Jane can't seem to write any songs. Jane has to decide which matters more to her, music or happiness.My ThoughtsJane was a likable character that you felt sorry for (divorce) and happy for (finally successful) at the same time. I liked that she was the rock star when typically it is the male character. I liked the family closeness that she has with her brother and sister and that she wasn't a diva. Matthew, what can I say about him? Besides being British and ridiculously hot, I liked his work ethic, his honesty, his humor and his drive to help Jane and not for the sake of his article but because he cared about Jane. Did I mention the book is hot too?"Writer's block or no writer's block, I just want to touch you. It's driving me crazy not to. I want to take off your clothes, and I want to feel you all over. I want my hands on your body. I want to know how you respond to me. I want to taste you. I want to take you in my mouth."All in all, it was a well written book that had me laughing out loud a few times and wanting to shake some sense into the characters other times. I very much enjoyed the book and anyone who has read/enjoyed any other of Ms. Blakely's books will definitely enjoy this one too.
