Tatum’s heart has had enough. In one day, her world imploded with the loss of not only her parents, but the man she thought would heal her sadness. She has nothing left to give, and she refuses to give her heart to another person just for that person to hurt her as well. She knows she won’t be able to bounce back from another loss or betrayal, so she does what she has to do to protect herself from feeling that pain again.But what happens when temptation comes in the form of a sexy and sweet talking tattoo artist/firefighter?Blaise is no stranger to betrayal and heartache. He’s been down that road before, and if he can help it, he’s never going back. To protect himself, he becomes a playboy, taking advantage of the many women who throw themselves at him. He doesn’t want commitment; he just wants to have a good time. He never expected to want to be in a relationship again, but one look at Tatum, and everything changes.There’s an instant connection between Tatum and Blaise; one which he wants to explore…one that makes him want more than just one night with her in his bed. But Tatum is only looking for one night; despite her feelings for Blaise, she refuses to open herself up to more for fear of getting hurt.How do two people who have been scorned by love open themselves up to find happiness when the risks seem too big and the pain too much? Can Blaise tempt Tatum to give in to her feelings for him and trust that he won’t betray her or is all that she’s had to endure too much of a roadblock for their happiness?Tempting Tatum is a great book that shows that hearts can be healed when the right person comes along and demonstrates that s/he won’t let you down. It’s a story of new beginnings after loss and heartbreak. It’s a text that illustrates how surrounding yourself with great friends and caring family members make all the difference in moving forward. Because it’s told through both Tatum and Blaise’s perspectives, readers understand their hesitations but also witness when both are finally ready to give love another chance. It’s a great summer read because the sweet and sexy definitely outweigh the angst, and the hero can’t get any hotter – a tattoo artist and firefighter – that’s a great combination in my book;)A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.4 poison apples (The Fairest of All Book Reviews)
