Temptation Trails Book Review

Rating

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

🌶🌶🌶

Temptation Trails is a gripping romantic suspense. It made me exercise my detective skills and inquisitive mind while I was swept away by a swoon-worthy romance that raced my heart. It’s another Claire Kingsley hit—small-town suspense romance at its finest.

What I like

• Garrett Haven. The kind of law enforcement officer you’d like to have in your town, the imperfect father who loves unconditionally, and the lover you dream of having. 
• Perfect pacing. Never boring, never rushed.
• Sizzling chemistry. Garrett’s flustered moments around Harper are gold. There’s instant attraction. You’ll feel that magnetic pull when they’re around each other.
• Owen’s character arc. From problematic teen to the young man Garrett Haven raised: protective, brave, selfless, and just plain adorable.
• Tilikum. Reading another book set in one of my favorite fictional towns is like coming home. They may be quirky, but the residents always show up when needed.
• Strong female friendship. I love women supporting women.

Minor Quibbles:

Verdict

Will recommend it faster than another Tilikum squirrel could steal a cookie.

Favorite Scenes

• The pizza box
• Heartwarming, wholesome moments between Harper and Owen

Favorite Quotes

“When I’m with you, I feel whole in a way I’ve never felt before. I can’t explain it. Maybe it’s crazy and maybe it’s too fast, but I don’t care. I love you.”

“My dreams were coming true, even the ones I’d been too afraid to dream. I couldn’t have imagined a better happy ending to our story. And really, we were just beginning.”
