About this ebook

One week. No names. No expectations.


That was our agreement.


We were supposed to walk away once our time in Hawaii was over.


No matter what.


But that was before I finally decided to take a risk and jump.


And that’s precisely what being involved with Lachlan Hale is… A risk.


Between the complications that go along with dating a celebrity and the real possibility that my ex-husband is still watching my every move, there are times I question whether it’s worth it. 


Whether I’m selfishly putting Lachlan’s life at risk, too.


But like he promised… We’ll get through it. Together.


Until the bottom drops in a way I never could have anticipated.


Lines are drawn.

Loyalties are tested.

And I’m stuck in the middle, engaged in a fierce battle between my head and my heart.


But there can only be one winner.



Provocation is the third book in the Temptation Series, a gripping older woman, younger man romantic suspense about the power of redemption and forgiveness.

Wow! Was not expecting that! I put off reading this series and was caught off guard. This entire story was full of suspense and passion, twists and turns, and romance and love; right from the beginning. It sucked me in and I just had to finish it. This is book three in the series and, yes, they must be read in order or you won't be able to understand and keep up. This is an age gap (which I am normally not a fan of) romance combined with a murder mystery. Julia (older woman) and Lachlan (younger man) were absolutely perfect for each other (color me surprised). Like the tag line says "One week. No names. No falling in love." With the passion these two generate probably not but nothing ever goes as planned. Well written and consuming. I was hooked from the beginning. If you are in the mood for a good mystery and romance, you cannot go wrong here. This book does end in a cliffhanger and there is one more book in the series but I don't think you will be sorry you read it.

So in this book we get some more information as to what is happening. We were left a bomb in the second book and that's where this one picks up. It takes a little bit to get to the explanation of that bomb, but when it does...WOW. Throughout the book, the main story unfolds even more and just like the books before this one....CLIFFHANGER! The biggest one yet. Now Lachlan and Julia...UGH I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Their relationships only strengthens over the course of this book and while they have their ups and downs, they truly do love each other. I also loved the relationship that Lachlan is forming with Julia's daughter, Imogene. I'm sure trust doesn't come easy to her, but the bond she forms with him is immediate and comes into play at a point in this books. Now bring on the 4th and final book...I cannot wait to see what happens!

3.5 stars... Ends on a cliffhanger, book 3 of 4 The story picks up where Persuasion left off and we find Julia and Lachlan basking in the honeymoon phase of their relationship while each gets back to the reality of their everyday lives. It seems though that Julia is struggling with moving forward – not surprising with all the baggage she’s still carrying from her traumatic marriage. Can they get past the roadblock of Nick’s imposing presence, which overshadows their future happiness together? I was looking forward to this installment after the revelation at the end of Persuasion, but came away frustrated after waiting until approximately the 75% mark for that plot thread to resume. I’ll admit I wasn’t all that invested in Julia’s waffling and was surprised Lachlan hung in there. At this point, I’m not sure I’m invested enough in this story to continue on, despite this latest twist. There’s plenty of drama and angst, some mystery, and a little suspense along with numerous steamy, explicit encounters. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
