Lillian

My kids are away for the weekend, so my best friend convinces me to come to Houston for a New Year’s Eve party. I’m a blue-collar worker busy raising three boys not some cartoon princess, but with a makeover and a new dress, I sure feel like one! There’s even a handsome prince, but when the sun rises on New Year’s Day, I realize he isn’t who he said he was.

Martin

When I wake up alone after the best holiday of my life, I can’t figure out what went wrong. Fortunately, fate brings me back into Lillian’s path, and after I convince her that I wasn’t lying to her, we begin to navigate the complexities of dating as single parents. But we live in different towns and have very busy lives, making it almost impossible for us to have couple time.  For this to work, we’re going to need a lot of patience, a little creativity, and some intervention from our kids.

“Tempted at Midnight” is an opposites attract midlife romance with a strong and independent woman, a man who believes in love at first sight, six rowdy but sweet kids, and a factory full of nosy matchmakers who are determined to help their friend find love. This book is a steamy standalone in the "Midlife Crisis Contemporary Romance" series.

Ratings and reviews

Lillian & Martin are both single parents to three boys when they meet & have, what Lillian assumes, will be a ONS. Martin feels the connection and fights to make it work with their busy lives. I really liked Lillian's direct manner, I could understand her decision to call time on the fledgling relationships when it seemed impossible to blend their lives. Luke stood out the most of the six boys and was polite but firm when challenging the adults around him. This was a quick, fast paced read that stood out for it's realistic & mature plot.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I liked this recreation of one of my favorite shows as a kid. The progression of the relationship was unusual but they fell in love. I like how all the kids got them together in the end.

I enjoyed Lillian and Martin's story. It is a midlife contemporary romance about two single parents finding more. It is entertaining and fun with witty dialogue and humor. I loved the interventions! This is a fairly short and quick read that I enjoyed every bit of.
