Temptation

Temptation An Ex's Dad Romance

Jenna Hartley2023
I've always been a good girl, a rule follower. At least until I started working for billionaire bachelor Knox Crawford. Owner of LA’s pro soccer team. And my ex’s dad. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to fight our growing attraction. And the easier it is to forget our roles, to ignore the fact that I used to date his son. Sleeping with the boss could get me fired. But sleeping with my ex’s dad could tear my life apart. Breaking the rules only seems fun—until you get caught.

ahhh! i had such a good time with this! i read it in nearly one sitting also!! i love a good ex bf’s dad trope 😌 seriously all of the characters were so loveable, in my opinion! like i loved literally all of them?!?! i loved seeing the development between knox and kendall and them both getting more comfortable with the situation they put themselves in! i also loved the small plot with kendall’s mother, i cried so many times. EMMY! emmy is such a good friend, ugh i loved her!!! but also jude??? he had every right to be LIVID and never turn back but ugh 😩 i love jude. i’d definitely recommend but check triggers!

Kendall was ready to start a new life in New York, so she broke up with her boyfriend because the distance was too much. The unexpected happens and she decides to put her dreams on hold to take care of her mom. But Kendall has no desire to reconcile her relationship with her ex and doesn’t tell him she’s staying. Until her house-sitting job brings her face to face with Knox, her ex-bf dad, who’s very much a Silver Fox giving Daddy vibes.

𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐧’𝐬 𝐞𝐱-𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐲 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞.

First book I read by Jenna Hartley, and what a good one it was! The chemistry between Kendall and Knox is hooooooooot! These two have had attraction for each other for a long time, so finally getting to act on it is the icing on the cake.

“𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐢𝐭, 𝐦𝐢 𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐨. 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞. 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠.”

You guys, he calls her “mi cielo” (my heaven). Instant melt!

I was surprised by how the drama unraveled when it came to Knox, his son, and Kendall; it was handled very well! It gave way for a good popcorn moment to ease the stress over it.

Overall, Temptation is a quick read that is spicy with some light dirty talk, and a romance that is entertaining to read about.
