Title: Don't Tempt Me

Author: Lori Foster

Stars: 4 out of 5

Review:

I am always delighted when I read a well written book with characters you could meet in your own neighborhood. I was not disappointed with this offering by Lori Foster where the characters are large as life and could well be in any family or gathering. The heroine tugs at your heart strings and immediately garners your sympathy and support. It is easy to see how she does that exact same thing to the hero of the story. A modern day love story that mirrors life and is sure to please most readers.

I gave this book a four star rating and would recommend it to anyone looking for a modern romance story to pass the time

I received an ARC from Netgalley for my unbiased review.

Synopsis:
 Jason Guthrie has no time for entanglements—between helping out his widowed brother and teenage nephew and getting his hometown back on its feet, his days are spoken for. But his nights are another story… And when his lovely new neighbor, Honor Brown, reluctantly accepts his help in remodeling her house, Jason finds himself wishing his handyman skills could knock down the defenses she keeps building around herself.

Martial arts teacher Sullivan Dean knows real danger when he sees it—even when it takes the form of the gorgeous blonde helping her friend move in across the street. After putting his wayward past behind him to focus on teaching control to troubled kids, Sullivan has learned to avoid party girls like Lexie Perkins. But Sullivan can't seem to keep his hands off the real woman behind that flirty charm—or keep his heart from landing at her feet
