Tempted by Love by Melissa Foster Release Blitz

Years ago, bestselling author Jack “Jock” Steele lost his girlfriend and baby in a horrific accident that drove a wedge between Jock and his family, keeping him from sharing a devastating secret. An aging philanthropist saved him from the brink of despair, and for a decade Jock cared for his ailing friend who became his family. Now his friend has passed away and left him a fortune—on the condition that he publishes another book. Jock is floundering, unsure how to rebuild the life he’d walked away from, much less find his muse, have another relationship with a woman, or even think about having a family of his own. But he can’t get his sweet, sexy new friend, single-mother Daphne Zablonski out of his head, and her adorable toddler must know something he doesn’t, because she wraps her tiny fingers around his heart and won’t let go.

Daphne has been through the wringer with her ex-husband and doesn’t believe true love is in the cards for her. Friends she can handle, but letting a man see her mom bod naked? Especially someone as strikingly handsome and unbelievably sexy as Jock? No, thank you. Besides, she has a toddler to chase after and enough fictional boyfriends to fill her lonely nights. If only her book boyfriends could make her body tingle the way one look from her mysterious neighbor does.

As Jock and Daphne’s friendship turns to something too tempting to deny, their lives take an unexpected turn. Can a man who has lost everything find redemption with a woman who has everything to lose? And then there’s that secret…

Enjoy heart-meltingly beautiful and toe-curlingly sexy romance in Tempted by Love, an emotionally riveting story about a man who has lost it all and carries a torturous secret, a divorced single mother who has everything to lose, and the little girl who helps them heal. Fall in love on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, midnight rendezvous, and the sexy, sharp-witted Steeles. They have a penchant for pranks, a passion for loyalty, and a trunk full of secrets.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆☆
This may well be the first book of a new series but as any Foster fan knows, all the books have links and connections, and for me, are all the richer for it. In my mind I liken it to going to big family weddings, where you get to catch up on the news of families linked, but geographically dispersed. I absolutely love starting a new book and remembering all the connections and making new acquaintances. The really good news here is that there are plenty of Steele siblings who will be giving us lovely romantic stories for many books to come!

Any regular Foster reader will be so happy to finally see both Daphne and Jock get their happily ever after, and even more so that they do so together. Jock was Tegan's Uncle Harvey's carer for many years, and we know that he has some sad secret that has caused him to hide away from the world. He has now moved, in part, to be nearer to Daphne, because he is intrigued by the way he feels about her.

Daphne and her little girl, Hadley, have wonderful friends and a home at the resort, but as they are all paired up now and living their lives, she is starting to feel a bit left out. She is attracted to newcomer Jock, but he clearly has a problem with Hadley, and she has to put her daughter first. As they get to know each other better, there is a barrier which needs overcoming before there can be a romantic relationship between them.

I loved watching this story play out. It was beautifully paced, and the love between them is so clear, even if there are issues which need resolving. There was some really lovely humour and some of the family times are really amusing.

Not going to say more, you need to get your copy and enjoy it for yourself. I promise it will be worth your time.

Here is another couple to fall in love with from author Melissa Foster, she has a way of finding the broken hearted people and bringing them the happily ever after they deserve.

Daphne is trying to rebuild her life for her daughter and herself after the divorce. She is not looking for another husband. Finding new friends is one thing but when she sees Jock, feelings begin to come alive.

Jock is trying to live his life without the memories of losing his girlfriend and baby. But each time a toddler gets close to him, he runs the other way. That is, until Daphne and her daughter work their magic and show him how to let the past go and live for a future with them.

This story is filled with pain and heartbreak that brings three people together with a love to last forever. You will laugh, cry, and be happy that you read this story. And I cannot wait to read more in this series.
