✯✯5 HUGE STARS!!!✯✯I am so in love with this story. I am so in love with Rowan & Trent. This book literally lad me laughing one minute. Then, I'm crying or I have my hand over my mouth in shock. This book had 1st love & then 1st heartbreak. It had a little bit of everything in it. And, I for one. Loved every single thing about 'Tempting Rowan'.Rowan is completely closed off. She has a mother who hates her. Is always so drunk she's never awake. And, when she is awake she's very unpleasant. Her step-dad has a very serious hand problem. Every time he was around I cringed. Rowan feels broken & empty inside. Unable to be loved. She feels unworthy. Then why stay around? Rowan stays around to take care of her little brother & sister. Who every time they were around you'll have a smile on your face. Rowan vows to graduate college, get a good job, make enough money and take them and run. So, until that happens she keeps everyone at arms length. Including her 2 best friends Tatum & Jude.Then, Trent comes home from school & throws a wrench in her plans! If you read 'Finding Olivia & Chasing Olivia' then you know how perfect Trace is. Well, Trenton Wentworth is just as perfect as his older brother! He has been in love with Rowan since they were 16. The night they lost their virginity to each other he let her know how he felt. Rowan on the other hand ran & never looked back. Now, Trenton is back and is going to do anything & everything to get her back!!Every time Rowan turns around there is Trent. He follows her to the food stores, the library where she works. It's driving her insane. Because, when she goes home he invades her mind, her dreams. It's killing her because he is the only person who has ever had her heart. The only person she'd give it too. But, deep down Rowan knows he'll never except everything she has to offer.Over time Trent finally gets Rowan to agree to go on a date with him. Trent breaks her down and gets Rowan to see that it's OK for her to live. For her to do stuff for herself. Rowan is definitely enjoying her time with Trent. He's there for her when she needs it. I was stoked to see Trace & Olivia there as well.Then, Rowan's secret comes out. I literally dropped my kindle. It's a big wow moment!! She has some explaining to do. Trent & Rowan must figure out whats next. Even if there is a next.There's so much going on in this book!! I literally felt for Rowan.There hasn't been a character in awhile that has affected me the way she did. She's such a beautiful, strong woman. Yet, she can't seem to see that. Jude & Tatum (who you'll love) have known her for awhile and even they don't know all her deep dark secrets. I can't stand her mom & step-dad with a passion!!!! Trenton is just as sexy and perfect as his brother.When I tell you to get a comfy place to sit and read. Get your tissues too because you'll totally going to need it. I can not wait to see what Micalea is writing next!!!
