Review: This story seemed to fall short of what Ms. Lockwood normally delivers effortlessly.

For two years now, Tameca Corrigan has lusted for her sister's boss, Marcus. Awkward, shy, and plus-sized Tameca thinks that the gorgeous Marcus would never date her let alone have sex with her. Little does Tameca know that Marcus wants Tameca despite her perceived misgivings. Will Marcus be able to make Tameca his once she finds out his secret or will Tameca's sister, Renee, continue to stand in the way of their attraction to one another?Tempting a Wolf is a story that seemed rushed. It felt as if the story was a prequel to a series. The pacing was so fast I had to reread the story to understand what was going on. Tameca seemed like a spoiled child even though she was in her mid-twenties. The ulterior motives of Renee, Tameca's sister, seemed out of place and the explanation given really didn't make sense to me. Marcus was an intriguing character, but since the story is told mostly from Tameca's point of view, Marcus' character didn't come off as multifaceted.Tempting a Wolf by Tressie Lockwood is one of many books I have read by this author. Usually, Ms. Lockwood's books are engaging, colorful in character and scenery, and explicit in the sex scenes. This story seemed to fall short of what Ms. Lockwood normally delivers effortlessly. Despite my misgivings, I wouldn't hesitate to read another of Ms. Lockwood's works.G LochReviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
