Tempted by Trouble is a romance that will pull on your heart strings and bring out a myriad of emotions in you. Michelle Smart does a wonderful job of creating a love story that centers on a woman who has had to deal with the loss of a mother, and the effects that loss has had on her life as she struggles on her road to happiness. She weaves a sensual romance in the midst of these emotions and pulls it off with style and skill.Pippa Rowantree, a woman rejected by her father since the day her mother died, when she was a small child, has learned to be independent and rely on only herself. A woman who has resorted to many antics to attract much needed and desired attention from her father. Antics which have only resulted in bad press.  In fact, the only kindness or attention she ever received as a young woman was from a friend of the family, Marco Capello. Now as a grown up woman, she is again receiving bad press. Only this time she's been falsely accused of assault and the paparazzi are having a field day.The only avenue available to her is to seek refuge on a Caribbean island owned by her long-time friend, Marco. But Marco is not helping her because of any altruistic wish to aid her in her hour of need, but rather because his mother has requested it of him. He sees Pippa as a woman who will go to any length to get attention, even if it's bad. The animosity between them is thick, the emotions are high, the sexual tension sizzles, and the sparks fly as they struggle against the scorching chemistry between them.This is a sexy story that deals with the turmoil of loss and the hope of reconciliation.  It is about attraction and feelings, expectations and love, sadness and happily ever after, and of trust and learning to let go. It is an engaging and sensual romance that will have you reading far into the night. A definite must read.I received this book from Entangled Publishingin exchange for my honest review.Janna ShayAuthor of Fair Play
