Tempting Tessa Kindle Edition

by Samantha Lind (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 112 ratings

What do you do when life moves on and leaves you behind?

Tessa had everything her heart desired—an incredible husband, a beautiful son, and the perfect life. She was living her happily-ever-after, and everything was as it should be, until the love of her life was ripped away from her.

Now, she’s simply existing, trying to figure out how to navigate through life without her husband, doing all she can to keep his memory alive while raising their son. When things literally start falling apart all around her, Tessa has to choose whether she will accept the help being offered and possibly learn to love again.

Jake’s dream of making the Army his career was destroyed after being injured while deployed, leaving him in his own personal hell. After years of recovery, he still deals with the emotional pain but has finally managed to piece his life back together. While he is satisfied and happy, he wonders if there might be someone out there who could love him, broken and imperfect.

When Tessa enters his life and turns it upside down, can he tempt her to fall in love with him and find their new forever together?

    This is an inspiring story about a man and a woman, who have both had tragedy strike, and have done their best to move past it. Be prepared for big, ugly tears!

    Tessa is a widow with a young son, who lost her husband, who was a firefighter, in the line of duty. She has done well, but kept mostly to herself, other than family and close friends. When she has some repairs that need to be done to her home, she takes her best friend's advise and hires a small, local company to do the work.

    Jake is former military, who took over his family construction business, after returning home and leaving the military due to some pretty serious injuries. It took a long time, but he has finally regained his health, and mostly gotten a handle on his PTSD.

    Despite an immediate attraction, this story has a slow, sweet build up between Jake and Tessa. I loved how real this story felt, how realistic the relationship between Jake and Tessa was. I loved how supportive they both are of each other and accepting of their faults. This story had several surprises built in, that kept me on my toes, and built the anticipation. This was a fabulous story that I'd recommend to anyone looking for a feel good story!

    I enjoyed Jake & Tessa's story a lot! No relationship drama. Lots of detail, almost too much at times, tho. And there's a lot of skipped time, time "flying by." That got to be a bit much, as well, but at the same time worked for the story. I would recommend this for a fun, light read, despite the tragedies that brought these two together. : )
