About this audiobook

Six months ago, Liam Donovan met the world's cheeriest, most upbeat woman at a wedding. It was the longest two days of his life. Now she’s his next door neighbor—talk about awkward. Tessa Sullivan believes in always looking at the bright side. Unfortunately, her new neighbor is the most negative man on the planet, and he seems to have made it his mission to ruin her good mood on a daily basis. She loves to sing, she loves to smile, but more than anything, she loves to decorate for the holidays. The fact that this seems to bug her new neighbor is simply a perk. After twelve years in the Marines, Liam is more than ready to come home and start the next phase of his life. He’s starting a business, reconnecting with his mildly overbearing family, and loving the fact that he’s finally got a place of his own. If only his neighbor’s decorations would stay on her side of the property. There isn’t one thing about Tessa that tempts him...until there is. Now she’s all he can think about. Being friends makes sense. Becoming lovers was inevitable. But having Tessa be his forever is more than tempting.

Ratings and reviews

I haven't read the other books in Samantha Chase's The Donovans series, but I had no trouble following along with Tempt Me. This story worked just fine as a standalone. A very sweet hurt/comfort opposites attract romance, Liam is a staid (sometimes grumpy) veteran who is just crying out for some love in his life. Tessa is set in her ways, cheery, and also desperately in need of some romance. Samantha Chase does a lovely job of making these two total opposites fit quite nicely.
