Feb 14, Sandy S rated it really liked it. The premise is provocative; the romance is sexy and hot; the characters are familiar and engaging. Feb 11, Mom's Guilty Pleasure rated it it was amazing. I wait anxiously for the each of her book releases. Although this is a short read it delivers huge. There is strength, uncertainty, friendship, connection, love, sexiness and anticipation. As hot and steamy as these two get I did need to grab some tissues.

Tempt me may be read as a stand alone, but you won't want to miss out on the the rest of this series or the ones prior to it.

Tempt Me: A Stark International Novella

Jamie would mess around with guys without ever letting anyone of them get too close. She felt if you let them get too close, you could end up getting hurt. But then Hunter came along and broke through her defenses. All of her defenses. He makes her feel alive, on fire, turned on, but mostly Hunter makes her feel loved and cherished.

If you have a man that makes you feel that way why does Jamie keep turning down his proposals? Because what had started with the vibe of a fight now has the putrid scent of forever. He understands why she had reservations about marriage in the past. He understands, but isn't accepting it. Just because other people lose themselves or their dreams doesn't mean it would happen with them. He's tired of her turning him down. He wants a family and forever and he's tired of waiting for her to change her mind.

Will Jamie see that he won't stay status quo any longer? Does he want to walk away from the love of his life if he can't get exactly what he wants? Feb 09, J.

But Ryan is ready to move things to the next level but whenever the topic of marriage comes up, Jamie does whatever she can to avoid the conversation. Bogged down by her irrational fears of taking this next step, she does what she knows best and runs when Ryan finally pops the question. This was a fantastic novella, it's a quick easy read that is sure to entertain.

Ryan and Jamie are a dynamic couple, and while Ryan is ready to take that next step into marriage Jamie is dragging her feet. Jamie is a bit insecure and afraid of marriage, but when Ryan has reached his limit he forces her to choose a life with him or to walk away. It may be a short story, but it's packed full or emotion, hot scenes, and great characters! Feb 13, Maria Angie Mendoza rated it really liked it. Fast paced, sweet and sexy read, I inhaled this read in 1 sitting! I initially met Jamie and Ryan in Tame Me. So I was pleasantly surprised to see what's these 2 have been up to.

This sexy pair has been blissfully happy living out their happily ever after. Yet, Ryan wants more and wants to make it official, Jaime disagrees. The chase is on and I loved it.

I only wished it was longer. Mar 23, Katrina rated it it was amazing. I absolutely loved this novella in the Stark international series.

Jamie and Ryan are still going strong after a couple of years together. Jamie knows that Ryan wants to marry her but she is very apprehensive and this complicates her relationship. Can Ryan change her mind? Read and find out. She can certainly take you through every emotion.

Tempt Me (Bodyguard Bad Boys, #2) by Carly Phillips

I love all things Stark related and this novella about Jamie and Ryan is no different. You should really read this series if you haven't for more background but if you don't want to this book is still scorching hot and full of Jamie's drama and fear of marriage. Ryan has made no secret of the fact that he wants to marry Jamie but she thinks things are fine the way they are and why add the pressure of the piece of paper and potentially mess it up?

But after a wonderful weekend with their friends I love all things Stark related and this novella about Jamie and Ryan is no different. But after a wonderful weekend with their friends and a talk with Nikki Jamie decides she read to take this major step. If she can just stop being afraid of her own shadow.

So on a romantic ride back from Jackson and Sylvia's she tells him she is ready if he ever decides to ask her again. Which he doesn't right then. But when she gets back home and her mom calls with the worst news possible it sends Jamie into a tailspin and everything she thought she knew about her parents complete and total admiration and love for one another isn't what she thought. So now what is she supposed to do? When Ryan surprises her for Valentines Day and has planned a beautiful day and a surprise Jamie hasn't had a chance to tell him what has happened before he actually does propose and she can get the words out.

Then comes the ultimatum and the moment he breaks her heart. Will she let her fears keep her from Ryan? Will he really throw what they have had for several years now down the drain because she hesitated? You'll have to read to find out. Feb 24, Lora Borzelleca rated it really liked it.

When sexy Stark Security Chief Ryan Hunter whisks his girlfriend Jamie Archer away for a passionate, romance-filled weekend so he can finally pop the question, he's certain that the answer will be an enthusiastic yes. Knowing there's no halfway with this woman, Ryan When sexy Stark Security Chief Ryan Hunter whisks his girlfriend Jamie Archer away for a passionate, romance-filled weekend so he can finally pop the question, he's certain that the answer will be an enthusiastic yes.

Knowing there's no halfway with this woman, Ryan gives her an ultimatum — marry him or walk away. And it will take all of her strength, and all of Ryan's love, to keep her right where she belongs I have to say these little Novellas are truly my crack.. Tempt me, literally did deliver utter temptation in the the divine form of Ryan Hunter. I devoured every word, every moment, every scene like a woman starved of chocolate.. Feb 18, Jennifer Finn rated it it was amazing. I love the Stark Trilogy, Damien and Nikki are one of my favorite couples that being said I've never really been a fan of Jamie.

But I'll read Jamie's book if there's a chance Damien and Nikki will make an appearance. Ryan and Jamie have been together for a few years and he's been patient with her about marriage. Jamie loves Ryan but she's always been afraid of commitment. After having lunch with their happily married friends Jamie tells Ryan that she's finally ready for marriage.

He plans a romantic Valentines Day proposal and instead of saying yes right away she hesitates. Ryan is confused, hurt, and angry and he gives her an ultimatum. I was glad Ryan did what he did and that he stuck to it or else she would have continued to mind fuck him. Feb 13, Lee rated it it was amazing Shelves: Their chemistry is off the charts. Ryan has proposed knowing Jamie has "broken" him and he knows he has to have her.

Tempt Me is powerful. Feb 06, Steph rated it really liked it. Ryan Hunter is ready to marry the love of his life, Jamie Archer, but she's not so convinced. Knowing it's her insecurities and fear of commitment holding her back, Ryan takes another chance and proposes, but circumstances have Jamie once again hesitant to say yes. Ryan has no choice but to deliver an ultimatum, and he can only hope that Jamie will come to her senses and realize that the two of them are meant to be before they lose one another forever.

TEMPT ME is a novella in the Stark International series, and while I didn't have the benefit of reading any other books in this series prior to picking this one up, I didn't have any trouble acclimating to it. My heart broke for Ryan as he struggled to deal with Jamie's wedding waffling, but also for Jamie because she just couldn't let herself trust in their love for the long term.

You could tell that the couple loved each other desperately and were meant to be together, but after awhile I got annoyed at Jamie's inability to make a decision. I'll definitely look for more from Ms.

Can Ryan accept Jamie or will he hightail it back to single hood? Julie has done a fantastic job of revisiting old friends while keeping true to the story. The sexy time and humor are also cleverly writing.

You get stuck in Jamie's head when she tries to convince herself that the life she and Ryan share has been sufficient. But is it really? What has been holding Jamie back even after these years of living in bliss and being in love. Ryan has been so patient, but I feel he is getting to the end of that rope.

He has been ready for the next step. Is Jamie willing to take that leap with him? Or will she lose the best thing that has ever happened to her. I am so happy that this story will be available in time for this Valentine's day! Love is the theme in this book. And you will truly see how these two love each other to the core.

This definitely adds to the hot sexy scenes you get. I love how commanding Ryan is in and out of the bedroom. So don't miss out what is next for our security chief and anchor woman.

Feb 15, Squallogal rated it really liked it. I like this couple but it was a very 'by the numbers' novella. My preference is the true Stark books some of the novellas because as a reader, I come for the plot. Kenner's true strength in the way she paints a reality for her characters and reasons for their behaviour. You do get that in this novella but it is highly predictable and like I said, by the numbers.

There was an error trying to load your rating for this title.

But it's only a novella. If you've never read a I like this couple but it was a very 'by the numbers' novella. If you've never read a J. Kenner book I would highly recommend the Stark Series. It has dark themes for those who have issues with that. She is however, an author that uses those themes for a reason not as a lazy plot device.

If you are brave enough, it won't disappoint. A continuation of the Stark books is releasing in April. Oct 24, Maureen Biela rated it really liked it.

Needing a bit of comedy after the Danish film, Craig, I turn to the ever luscious Penelope Cruz who, along with Victoria Abril, are sure to delight. Heaven sends their own representative and the battle is on. Abril, who falls short of her most skintastic performance, nevertheless gives us a glimpse of her heavenly body as she plays the misogynistic boxer's wife.

Cruz keeps it hot as she struts and dances, but does keep it on as the boxer's cousin. Why the bum doesn't stray is a big mystery. Sides become blurred as the need to continue the existence of good and evil, and Heaven and Hell become more important that who gets the soul.
