Tempt Me

4.5* for Book Two in The Bad Boy Bodyguard Series. Single father Austin Rhodes is a part of the Alpha Security Team, and the most important person in Austin's life is his little girl Bailey. He loves being a father, and will do everything to provide for and protect her. He hires Mia Atwood to be Bailey's nanny. Austin and Mia are attracted to each other. They want different things in life so they fight their attraction, until they can't. Carly did it again with this 2nd chance at love story. It is well written, and you are literally rooting for Austin and Mia. I volunteered to review an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Sweet sexy story! What a great story! Austin is loving, protective father with a swoon worthy alpha side and Mia is a sweet, kind hearted, beautiful young woman. Watching them navigate through their feelings and the dangers they are both facing while keeping Bailey safe was heartwarming! A wonderful addition to the Bodyguard series.

Tempt Me By: Carly Phillips ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review by Kristie K Good guys don’t always finish last, as Carly Phillips proves with her newest release… Tempt Me is a captivating tale of a single father, badly burned by the mother of his child and determined not to make himself or his daughter vulnerable by getting involved with a woman…no matter how tempting she may be. Austin Rhodes is a wonderful father, with a heart of gold, and a body for sin. His only apparent weakness is his daughter…until he hires a gorgeous new nanny that has his blood boiling, and his pants tenting. Mia Atwood grew up in foster care from the age of six, and put herself through college, but finding her true calling as a nanny. Her love for children and desire for a family of her own only fuel her passion for her job. When her most recent charge is a precocious six year old that captures her heart, and a boss that threatens to do the same, nothing can prepare her for the roller coaster she’s on. Carly Phillips delivers another incredible tale of desire, loss, fear, and hope with Tempt Me. While a popular genre at the moment, Ms. Phillips is able to add twists and turns that make this tale as unique as the characters she creates. I absolutely adore Austin, both as a father, a son, and as a man. Such a genuine man, with a heart as big as Texas, and a protective streak just as wide. His fears aren’t unfounded, but genuine, and his vulnerabilities are refreshing. Mia is everything I would want in a nanny, a friend, a sister, or a mother. She is a beautiful soul, with a heart full of love for those in her life. Always putting others first, especially the child she is in charge of, Mia is a truly extraordinary human being. The tension between Austin and Mia is nearly unbearable, and the push and pull that follows is both heartbreaking and beautiful. These characters believe in honesty with each other, which is both refreshing and a little…surprising? Most authors crank up the drama, where Carly Phillips just cranks up the real. A truly intoxicating read that I truly enjoyed from the beginning to end. Kristie K
