***** Received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review*********5 Deliciously Wonderful Stars!!!!"I’ve heard enough music to know that the best songs and albums come from broken hearts. Maybe there just isn’t anything to say when you’re swooning, falling, floating, chasing. Maybe when you’re deliciously, deliriously happy, nobody wants to hear about it. But if your heart’s been stomped on, your emotions shattered, your feelings maddeningly unrequited, then you stand a much better chance of writing an opus."How can you not be hooked after those opening lines? Far Too Tempting is a deliciously wonderful story about figuring out how to move on after a relationship ends. Jane and Matthew have wonderful chemistry, and have been running in to each other at music events for some time. This time, neither one is attached, and both of them are trying to move on from hurtful relationships.Jane Black is a single mother/rock star who skips Grammy after-parties to make it home in time for library duty at her kids school. Separated from her husband who had recently revealed his penchant for men, Jane penned the perfect break-up album, shooting her to stardom. Enter music writer Matthew Harrigan.Matthew is a hot British guy (deemed "eminently lickable") with a dirty mouth. My favorite! His goal is to write an article about the hottest new artist, Jane Black, and how she operates while she writes her follow-up album. The problem is that Jane has major writer's block. Falling for Matthew isn't making anything easier, as Jane has no clue how to write a love song. All the good songs are break up songs anyways, right?Matthew comes up with some very interesting (as in, wonderfully delicious) ways to help Jane with her writer's block, but the temptation is there for her to break it off with him in order to get some more inspiration. I loved the witty banter between these two characters, and the progression of Jane from heartbroken woman to lovesick puppy. Far Too Tempting is a read-in-one-sitting-because-you-can't-put-it-down kind of book, so make sure you clear your schedule when you one-click this one!
