I loved Rule Archer since the first moment I ever laid eyes on him. He was everything I shouldn't want and the only person I went out of my way to not try and please. He only saw me as a brat, as an entitled, stuck up princess but worse than that all he saw when he looked at me was his deceased twin brother's girl. It broke my heart because as much as I had loved Remy Archer there was never anything romantic between us and no matter how hard I tried to convince myself that loving Rule was a terrible idea, my poor heart just wouldn't listen. We tolerated each other, barely. We forged an uneasy alliance until one night I had too much to drink and changed the way we were forever. Suddenly life long secrets were no longer hidden and the one thing I always wanted for myself seemed obtainable as long as I was willing to go through hell to hold onto it.
Shaw Landon was a class act and I had no idea what to do with her. She was tied to my family, tied to the person that was my other half so I tolerated her and her haughty attitude because I didn't have any other choice. What I didn't know was that a short skirt and too many cocktails on her birthday was going to change my outlook on her for the rest of my life. Some people thought I hid behind all my tattoos and piercings, that I tried to distance myself from my dead twin, Shaw saw through it all and wasn't scared of what was underneath.
We weren't supposed to be together, weren't supposed to be anything except uncomfortable acquaintances but that all changed in the blink of an eye. Now I had to figure out just how a girl like her and a guy like me were supposed to be in love without destroying each other. Add in her custom made ex and two disapproving sets of parents and the whole situation sounded to me like it was more trouble then it was worth.

My Thoughts
This is a very typical love story, its how most of them seem to head, two people who seem very different fall in love.
This story doesn't stand out from the rest of them but isn't the worst I've read. Its cute, heads in the direction you think it will and even the secrets are very easy to work out.
The characters were great I really liked them, none of them seemed fake or acted out of character.
If you want a easy read I would give it ago, its not great but not bad.

Nina Valentine is done with New York. After
spending the last year struggling to make it as a painter, all she has to show
for it are bills she can't pay. Out of money and sick of struggling, she decides
it's time to pack it up and head back to her hometown in New
Hampshire.
When she meets Ian Sinclair at her going away party, Nina's instantly attracted to his dark, smoldering looks and lean athletic body. When he asks her back to his apartment, she's willing to overlook the fact that he's a high-powered lawyer. It's just for one night, and guys as gorgeous as Ian don't come around every day.
Ian has never had a problem getting women into his bed, but after his hot night with Nina, all he wants is more of her. So he makes the curvy painter a deal - stay in the city for a few weeks and he'll take care of everything.
Nina agrees, even though she knows better than to get attached. He's a rich corporate suit, she's a struggling artist. But as the connection between them deepens and Ian takes her to places she's never been - both in and out of the bedroom - Nina doesn't know how much longer she can resist.
Tempt Me is a 28,000 word steamy romance novella.

My Thoughts
I got this with it being free and a short story. The way they hooked up I get, but the things that progress from this point seem so unreal. Nobody would act this way even if you were lusting after someone, I found myself cringing with the choices she makes going from feeling like a whore to acting like one, but saying she doesn't want to be one. Eurgh! I finished the story so it wasn't that bad, but there are better short stories like this around. Its free and wont take up too much of your time, but I wasn't a fan.
