About this ebook

Tempting Tim is a heartfelt and deeply engrossing small-town, second-chance romance - guaranteed to bring music to your soul all the way to the happily-ever-after.

I never wanted the limelight. The only thing I wanted was Conley Logan.

 

When words failed to express my feelings for Conley, I relied on music instead. But our love song ended before it even began, before I’d even told her how I truly felt. As a result, I watched Conley leave hand-in-hand with my bandmate instead of me.

 

Not wanting the fight that would break up the band, I made a choice. I lived with it every day, knowing it was nobody’s fault but my own. I’ve moved on. I’m content with my small-town life, running a bar. But now Conley is back, forcing me to face the music.

 

From the way I’m still tempted to make her mine, it's as if nothing has changed—but until she tells me why she's back, I'm not sure I can trust what’s growing between us. 

 

The only thing that has changed: I’m not letting her get away this time without a fight.

Ratings and reviews

3.5 Stars! Being new to Ms.Ellen's work I've been looking forward to picking up her books! As soon as the synopsis for this one caught my eyeI knew that I wanted to pick it up first! I really liked this story! The characters made me feel many different things and I enjoyed that. I just struggled to fully connect with them at times. I am looking forward to reading more of Ms.Ellen's books!

4 star Review of Tempting Tim (Billingsley #4) by Melissa Ellen Recently I have found myself gravitating to small town romances, add in that this is a friends to lovers story and it was a win/win for me. Melissa Ellen is a new to me author and I am surprised I have not come across her before. This is Conley and Tim’s story Logan and it was an entertaining love story about regrets, getting a second chance and taking a leap of faith. Although the fourth book in the series, I had no trouble reading it. However, when time permits I will be looking at the other books in the series. The chemistry between Conley and Tim is intense and you could almost feel the tension in the air. Conley chose the wrong guy years ago and Tim let her go rather than course a fall out. Now she is back, working in Tim’s bar. The question is although Tim still has deep feelings for her, can he take a chance that she won’t break his heart again? Conley was a strong, at times naive woman but I overall I liked her and I really felt for Tim as he struggled with his feelings. Their road to a HEA will be bumpy but it may well be worth it in the end.

Tim and Conley had been friends for as long as he can remember, and his feelings have escalated into love but she has developed feelings for a member of his band. All he wants is Conley’s happiness, so he decides to take a step back both for her and the band. Years later Tim has left the band and owns a pub in their hometown. Conley has also realized that her life isn’t turning out the way she hoped so she has returned to her roots to decide which direction she wants her future to take. As they spend time together will they be able to work through the misunderstandings of their past and have a second chance or is Tim destined for a broken heart for the second time? The interactions between Tim and Conley were both humorous and hot and they are a perfect example of how somethings are meant to be.

About the author

I'm an indie author that focuses on contemporary romance with a little bit of everything: humor, angst and sometimes suspense. A Reason To Stay, book one of the Blackwood Series, was my debut novel.

I grew up as a book worm, reading anything and everything and still try to read at least a book a week. I've always had an active imagination. Luckily, I now have time to put it to good use into stories that are constantly swarming around in my head.

I went from designing buildings to crafting stories. I'm a creative entrepreneur and coffee connoisseur.
