Tempting Me
The Asher Family #3
by Jami Rogers
Blurb:
Luca Asher is my brother’s ex-best friend, the best contractor in our small town of Lovers, a walking dream when he doesn’t have a shirt on—heck, with it on, too, and he was the first boy I ever loved.
He just doesn’t know that last part.
On the rare occasions I converse with him, I get a comeback for everything.
Our banter is my favorite thing. He’s so clever and quick and, again, sexier than any man I’ve ever met.
But none of that changes the fact that he betrayed my brother. My family. Me.
And none of those facts would matter except for my one little problem.
I had this plan to save my family’s marina, which backfired. Now, my parents have given me a deadline to prove to them it’s still worth saving. If I don’t make it, they’ll sell everything, and I’ll lose my dream to keep the place.
They gave me one rule: do not hire that Asher boy.
At this point, I have only one option left to make this happen.
Hire Luca and beg him not to tell a single soul about it.
My heart forgave him years ago, but my head knows better than to trust the enemy.
And yet, in a matter of weeks, he starts to remind me of the old us, and I find myself falling for him all over again.
The idea of me and Luca is … tempting.
Tempting Me is a small-town, steamy, enemies to lovers romance with his ex-best friend’s sister, lots of banter, and a secret agreement.

Review:
I liked Luca and his blunt truthfulness. His straightforwardness is refreshing and leads to some fun (and awkward) moments with Shay. And I can’t blame him for his hurt over the past and the want to feel like enough as he is. Who doesn’t want to be trusted and liked for all they are.
Shay definitely comes across as a bit childish in spots. Especially in her treatment of Luca. I understand where she’s coming from, trying to hide her crush and follow the wishes of her family. But come on girl! I do feel for her with the way her parents treat her attachment to The Marina. The way that plays out is harsh … but also sweet.
This is my first book by Rogers and I enjoyed it. I found the characters a little immature in some places and I felt like a few places needed a bit more resolution, but I’m definitely interested in more from her.
