I really enjoyed No Strings Attached, so I knew I’d probably enjoy Tempted by the Soldier. Who can resist a broken war hero and an insecure woman with trust issues that have smoking hot chemistry? I know I certainly can’t. I really liked Nate and Lilly from the start. Lilly is ridiculously feisty and has a giant chip on her shoulder where Nate is concerned and rightfully so. The banter between these two is spectacular and really amped things up in the story. The sexual chemistry is also off the charts, even when I was feeling so bad for Lilly because Nate was a jerkface.Nicolette Day does an amazing job of delving into both Nate and Lilly’s issues. Nate is really broken to the point of feeling guilty for being alive. Lilly’s mother did a number on her, leaving her afraid of being abandoned again and not trusting those around her. The way feelings grow between these two is great and I loved watching them both start to deal with their deep seated problems. Of course they all weren’t figured out overnight, but they weren’t just swept under the rug either.I look forward to reading more by Nicolette. I really enjoy her writing style and her characters. Her books run the gamut from heartwarming to sexy to heartbreaking. She’s definitely got a fan in me.
