“My scar looks hot, does it?” he said.

She laughed as he peppered her skin with light kisses. “Very hot.”

Ratings and reviews

Tempting Levi is an entertaining contemporary romance by Jules Barnard. Ms. Barnard has provided readers with a well-written book. The characters are miserable in their jobs and argumentative with other family members. Levi is left in charge of the family casino. Emily is his new assistant and the half-sister of his ex. Levi and Emily's story is loaded with drama, humor, sexy bits and a tidbit of mystery. I enjoyed reading Tempting Levi and look forward to reading more from Jules Barnard in the future. Tempting Levi is book 1 of the Cade Brothers Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

Tempting Levi is an enjoyable story. Levi and Emily are likable and make a good couple. Emily is an intelligent, competent woman who doesn't take guff from anybody. She is the glue holding Club Tahoe, and the Cade brothers, together. Levi works hard to keep the resort afloat while figuring out how to be a CEO. The rest of the Cade brothers work just as hard to keep the place running smoothly. They don't always agree but they get the job done. I was glad to see Levi and Hunt starting to work on mending their relationship. Personally, I don't see what the big deal is about Levi dating Emily. It was over between Lisa and Levi years ago and Emily had nothing to do with their break-up. To me, it was simply a weak way to try to add drama. There was more than enough drama without it. Drama that actually kept the story moving forward and held my attention. I wish there had been a little more detail concerning the resolution of the loss of revenue experienced by Club Tahoe. It was all done 'behind the scenes' without much explanation. I do recommend reading Tempting Levi. It is a good story and kept me engaged from beginning to end. I look forward to reading Wes' story next.

Loved the story 5 stars for that put down to 3 because of epilogue! I look forward to that part to see what's happening and it was about another brother, it ruins it. They have their own book.
