Temptation: An Older Woman Younger Man Romance (Temptation Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

by T.K. Leigh (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 1,019 ratings

The last thing I need after turning forty is a midlife crisis in the form of a twenty-something Australian Adonis. But I can't resist him...

It was supposed to be a typical business trip to Hawaii.

During the day, I’d put the final touches on the new location of my bakery. At night, I’d relax on the lanai while sipping a glass of wine.

But that all changes when I meet him.

Sexy. Intriguing. Haunted.

And easily fifteen years younger than me.

I should walk away. The last thing I need after turning forty is a midlife crisis in the form of an Australian Adonis.

But something keeps drawing me back to him.

So I make a proposition.

One week. No names. No expectations.

It's the perfect plan… Until I learn the true identity of my vacation fling.

They say temptation can be dangerous.
I didn’t realize it could be so deadly.

Temptation is the first book a brand new older woman, younger man romance between a brooding baseball player and a forty-year-old divorcée with a mysterious past. Start the series today.

From the Author

"It's my fortieth birthday," I declared after a while.

He turned his gaze to mine. Studying. Scrutinizing. Analyzing. Then he handed me the bottle. "Happy birthday."

"Thanks." My lack of enthusiasm over the prospect of having completed another trip around the sun was obvious in the melancholy tone of my voice.

Why did forty sound so much older than thirty-nine? Maybe because your thirties were a decade typically marked with several big accomplishments. Most people in their thirties got married, started a family, bought their first home. Your forties were supposed to be the time you enjoyed all those things. I felt like I was starting over again. A daunting notion this late in the game.

"I'm guessing it's a tough birthday?"

I thought a moment. "More...introspective than anything. You'll know what I'm talking about in... What? Fifteen years or so? It makes you think. Makes you look back on your life and question everything. To be honest, I thought I'd have my shit together by this point."

"But you don't?"

I took another long sip of wine, wiping my mouth. "I don't. Most days, I feel like I'm paddling upstream without an oar, as my meemaw always said." I licked my lips, the alcohol emboldening me to delve into a deeper conversation than I'd expected to have tonight, particularly with him. "I think I've been suffering from a lifetime of someday I will syndrome."

He furrowed his brow. "Someday I will syndrome?"

"Yeah. You're young, so you probably haven't suffered its effects yet. It's when you keep saying someday I'll do this. Someday I'll do that. But then you blink and you're forty, wondering where the last twenty years of your life went."

I exhaled a breath, then quickly shook my head. "Don't listen to me. I'm just rambling and feeling relaxed from all the wine I've had tonight. I'm not usually much of a drinker. Sorry that you have to deal with the ramifications."

"I like listening to you. Watching your mouth move," he crooned, voice low and almost sultry. "And it's thirteen."

On a hard swallow, I slowly faced him, my pulse kicking up again. "P-pardon?" I stammered, still focused on him saying he liked watching my mouth. There were so many different directions I could take with that, and I doubted any of them were above reproach.

He leaned toward me, eyes alight with amusement. "The age difference. You're only thirteen years older than me."

    One week of fun and no names exchanged. Jules has been trying to overcome her past with crazy ex husband. After turning forty she decided to put herself first. While in Hawaii she meets an amazing younger man who makes her fell alive. He is jaded by a bad past but this woman makes him feel alive again. They both have past they want to forget so being in the present and not looking to the future allow them to live. But they are more connected then they could have ever thought. This is book one and I can’t wait to see what unfolds.

    This one has been on my TBR list for awhile. I devoured this book in less than one day. I really enjoyed the mystery surrounding Julia’s past. These two main characters are both denying themselves any future happiness due to their pasts. When the chemistry between them is undeniable they finally give in to their desires for now.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This series was amazing!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    This series hooked me from the start. I love romantic suspense and this had an amazing steamy plotline too. There are so many plot threads that eventually connect together, some you don’t even recognize for what they are at the time. This all creates a complex storyline that keeps you in the dark until the very end. I could not put this series down and thankfully was able to binge listen to all 4 books in one week. And since I binge listened like my life depended on knowing how this story ended, I’m writing one review for the entire amazing series. Rupert Channing and Michelle Sparks were a treat to listen to adding charm and drama to the story. If you are a fan of steamy romantic suspense, you need to add these books to your shelf immediately.

    They meet on a beach when both need a break from their lives. With their difference in age, Julia says it can only be a fling. But Lachlan has never let that stop him and the passion between them is too hot to ignore. In the weeks following, they have no idea that their lives are forever entwined by secrets and fate.

    This entire series will lead you on a wild and merry chase that is filled with steam and heat plus twists and turns that will leave you guessing until the very end. What the blurbs for these books tease you with is a complex story that won’t let you go until it winds it’s way to the very end. I absolutely could not stop listening. If you’re looking for a steamy suspenseful story that will grab you and not let go, the Temptation series is it!

    Not your usual older woman younger man romance. Two troubled people come together for a week with no strings attached, and in so doing, they unlock secrets that may break them apart in horrible ways no one could imagine.

    I enjoyed the story. To be continued.

    Temptation by T.K. Leigh is an Older Woman, Younger Man Romance. Which I found Incredibly intriguing, filled with Hot Desire, YET Suspenseful and Soooo Wonderfully Sinful!!!
    This book is #1 in the newest T.K.Leigh Series and as usual ends in a cliff hanger. But, she does them so well, you’ll be begging for more!
    It was suppose to be a normal business trip to Hawaii for Julia. But everything changes on her 40th birthday as she reflects on her past and how she handled what life has dealt her. But everything changes when she meets him. An Australian Adonis, Sexy, intriguing, yet haunted like her. And nearly 15 years younger. She knows she should probably walk away. But, they are continually drawn together. So, she decides to offer him a proposition he can’t resist.
    One Week….. No Names, No Past, Just Passion.
    However, he has a past of his own he’s dealing with. And even though they don’t know each other’s names or pasts. Lives seem to have a way of colliding.
    “They say Temptation can be dangerous”
    It must be said, I have never been disappointed by T.K’s books. She brings her characters to life with such incredible emotion and whit! I love that her books are series because sometimes you’re just not ready for the story to end. And yes, I have a love / hate relationships with her cliff hangers.
    I was given an ARC of Temptation for an honest review. But it should’ve noted, I always purchase the authors book when it’s published!

    Starts off as a slow burn, then heats up. By golly, does it heat up... YES. Then the cliff hanger. It's now midnight but I just have to start book 2.

    Well written. Characters are well lived in so come across well, likeable with great banter. The very start of this book gives you an inkling of the chilling cliff hanger that waits. Such an absorbing read.
