Overall Opinion:
Let's start by saying I was a little hesitant to pick up “An Irresistible Temptation” by Elsa Winckler after reading book one of “The DeMarco Family” series. I was less than impressed by “I Got You, Babe” and assumed the author was unable to redeemed herself but this series made me do a complete 180. From page one, I found it near impossible to put this book down after getting a glimpse of Dana and David relationship, and the action packed romance suspense left me at the edge of my seat. What stood out the most for me were the characters. David is someone that follows the rules and was born to be a police officer while on the other hand, Dana is trouble with a capital T. I loved their banter and what I loved more is how well they meshed together. The author’s writing style, character backgrounds, side characters (Brenda and Dave were instant favs), the premise of the overall story and the natural built relationship with the leads had me hook and left me wanting more. If you weren’t a fan of the first book, definitely say give this author second chance by reading “Wild At Heart”, you won’t regret it.
