Tempt

Peachwood Falls

By: Adriana Locke

Narrated by: Maxine Mitchell, Tor Thom

It was a simple job—keeping his teenage daughter out of trouble for thirty days. But I didn’t realize how my grumpy, gorgeous, blue collar, single dad boss would tempt me in all the wrong ways.

Chase Marshall is the bane of my existence. He’s moody, gruff, and impossible to read. Sure, he’s an incredible father, but with me? He’s colder than a February night in this small Indiana town.

And now, because of a favor, I’m stuck living under his roof for the next thirty days.

He claims I’m the most infuriating woman he’s ever met. But then come the lingering glances, the accidental touches that don’t feel so accidental, and a smirk that I want to kiss off his annoyingly handsome face.

The longer we’re together, the hotter it gets—until the tension finally snaps.

Now, nothing is simple. The job. Our boundaries. My feelings.

Will Chase watch me walk away when my time is up? Or will he be tempted to ask me to stay?

Too Fast

The last couple chapters felt quite rushed. The storyline crammed together to make for the HEA. Also, I much prefer a duet to the male & female voice actors reading each other’s parts in false voices.

Beautiful story

Tempt was such a relatable, torturous (yet fun) slow burn. I loved Megan and Chase from page one and Kennedy added a extra layer of depth to the relationship and story. Adriana has such a wonderful way of writing stories that I just find such a connection with I loved this and look forward to the next instalment from peach wood falls. This was my first time listening to these narrators and they did a good job at tell this story.

Perfection!!

My heart is so full after listening to this! Chase and Megan’s story was irresistibly sweet — watching them wrestle with their feelings was both fun and touching. And Kennedy? Absolutely precious. The dynamic between the three of them was beautifully written and full of warmth. I’m thrilled they got their happily ever after! 💜💙

Sweet small-town single dad/nanny story

What a fun, small-town romance. I had so much sun listening to this audiobook. I absolutely adore Maxine Mitchell and they way she portrayed all of the emotions in this book. Her ability to make me feel everything is magical. Tor Thom was a great counterpoint to Maxines softness . He was the perfect casting for Chase and his rough exterior and marshmallow inside.

Megan, Chase, and Kennedy take us through their beautiful heartfelt story. This story was entertaining and swoon worthy. Their is so much heart in this story, lots of banter between all of the characters. I adore a story where there is instant attraction and chemistry, but they are too busy fighting it and each other to give in so quickly.

I enjoyed very much that Kennedy, who is Chases teen daughter, really acted like a 14 year old girl.
she is fun and sassy, full of opinions, but still vulnerable and young. I loved how intrigal she was to the story as a whole. so many single parent books don't pay much attention to the child, but this one had her front and center along with the love story.

Loved it!

Love the story and the narration. The duet was done nicely and really brought the story to life.
