Tempting Enemy: Book One: Beckham Dynasty Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 1,187 ratings

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes an
enemies to lovers, forbidden standalone romance.

Look but don’t touch…

From the night she showed up at my bar with a fake ID, I kicked her out. On her birthday, the following week, she showed up again. Except this time, she was demanding a job. Willing to do whatever it took to get it.

Against my better judgment, she got her, but I’m not going to make it easy on her. Neither are the guys at my bar.

I have two choices: Pretend she’s mine to protect her. Or deal with the consequences when her five older, overprotective brothers find out what their little sister is up to.

Either way…

It’s going to be hell on me.

Because I can’t stay away from her.

    Am I biased because there isn’t a book I have read by M. Robinson that I have yet to love? Absolutely not because everything she writes either makes me swoon or cry like a freaking baby so this is really no different.

    Haven and Hayes story is perfect in the way of she just wants to have the boy of her dreams and nothing is going to stop her. Not even the boy she has eyes for no matter how hard to he tries to resist when it’s basically written in the stars for them. They are both so stubborn and of course being the alpha he is has definitely met his match in Haven. But yes I did cry when some plot twists are uncovered and shows how meant to be these two really are. I swear I’m such an emotional mess these days LOL.

    This was an enjoyable read, minus some editing issues that drove me nuts. I realize I'm pickier about things than many so I managed to cast it by the wayside and actually enjoy the story.

    I wasn't a huge fan of the cliffhanger which usually docks some points but it was a decent enough read that I kept it at 4 stars.

    Haven when out with her friend gets kicked out of the bar by Hayes, Hayes who Haven has an instant attraction to. Haven really wants to complete the one thing her and her mother were going to do but knows her bossy brothers won’t agree with it. Haven decides to ask Hayes for a job now that she’s eighteen, Hayes says no so Haven does what she need to ensure that she gets a job there.
    Hayes keeps telling Haven that he’s wrong for her, but his actions don’t match his words and Haven just wants him to open up to her, not knowing the can of worms that she would open and the past that would be revisited.

    I have read everything she has ever written. She will always be the Queen of Angst to me. The Good Ol Boys stole heart and I own all her books in Kindle format and paperback .. as each book comes though I notice a big difference in her writing. The stories seem more rushed and the editing is getting BAD. I'm used to small errors every once in a while, I mean we are all human but lots of BIG errors in this book and it makes it hard to read. The characters are amazing, the plot was great with the whole Jax Teller vibe and I will read the others but I hope she takes her time and gets a new editor.The problems started with the Second Chance series with the rushed storyline and she doesnt have a lot of shock factor anymore it's almost always the same type of scenarios and wording. BUT I do love the Beckham family they remind me of the Good Ol Boys. I will remain a loyal reader.

    Haven is determined to fulfill her post-graduation plans she had with her mother. But to take a trip overseas, she needs to earn some money. She ends up at a bar in the next town to make sure her father and brothers don’t find out what she is doing. Hayes doesn’t want Haven working at his bar but she convinced his father to hire her. It’s dangerous at his bar since his father is the president of the local motorcycle club and you never know what the crew will be doing. For Hayes, keeping Haven safe is his number one priority along with fighting the intense attraction and chemistry he has with her. Haven pulls out all the stops to break down Hayes’ walls, knowing he is the man for her. This is an unlikely duo yet the connection they have is natural and comfortable. Sadly, one of their bonds is having lost their mothers at a young age. I enjoyed the struggles along with all the maneuvers Haven used to break through Hayes walls. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

    M Robinson is back as the Queen of Angst. This is the first book of her new series and it does not disappoint. Haven is the youngest of 6 siblings, and the only girl. Her 5 older brothers are 5 alpha males who are extremely protective of her, even more so in the years since their mother passed away. When she starts working at Hayes' bar, their pull and connection is unstoppable. They cannot stay away from each other, no matter how much Hayes tries. But when his dangerous lifestyle, her brothers, and secrets come into play, can love survive? Definitely a must read! One of my favorite books of the year so far!

    Still my heart, this book conquered me from the cover and the story was amazing as expected.

    Queen of Angst and may I add Queen of Mystery and Darkish Pasts MRobinson brings us Tempting Enemy, the first book of Beckham Dynasty Series. This story setting is a small town in Wyoming where Haven was born and raised being the youngest of 6 siblings- did I mention they are all older brothers? Well you can just imagine how protected she has been. But how can her brothers protect them from Hayes? A dark, possessive hero who’s keeping a secret and who had the very first intention of staying away from Haven… How does Hayes’ dark and secretive past relates to Haven and her family?

    I can’t wait for what is next in this series, Haven’s brothers are the cherry on top of this story! Super possessive, ultra protective Alphahole!

    Manchmal ist im Leben doch alles vorbestimmt. Das müssen Hayes und Haven einsehen.
    Auf den ersten Blick sind die beiden extrem verschieden, aber je mehr man sie kennenlernt umso mehr wird klar, wie viele Gemeinsamkeiten es bei ihnen gibt.
    Haven hat es mit ihren großen Brüdern nicht immer leicht, aber irgendwie kann ich sie auch verstehen, dass sie einfach Angst haben sie auch zu verlieren. Aber ich finde es gut, dass Haven sich nicht alles gefallen lässt und ihren Weg geht.
    Je mehr man Hayes kennenlernt umso mehr versteht man, warum er ist, wie er ist. Er hat Dinge erlebt, die man niemanden wünscht.
    Es ist spannend zu sehen, wie Hayes und Haven aufeinander reagieren und miteinander umgehen.
    So schön es zwischen ihnen sein könnte, steht etwas zwischen ihnen und auch nicht jeder ist mit dieser Verbindung einverstanden.
    Das Buch zeigt sehr gut, wie wichtig es ist nicht aufzugeben und an seinen Träumen festzuhalten.
    Aber auch, dass manche Sachen im Leben einfach vorbestimmt und miteinander verbunden sind.
    In dieser Geschichte gibt es viel Humor, Liebe, Freundschaft, Zusammenhalt und Leidenschaft, aber auch Spannung, Gefahr, Dramen und Intrigen.
    Es nicht immer eine leichte Reise mit Haven und Hayes, aber ich hätte gerne noch mehr Zeit mit ihnen verbracht.

    The 1st instalment in the Beckham Dynasty absolutely did not disappoint. The Story of Haven and Hayes had me absolutely hooked from the 1st chapter.

    Haven is an extremely over protected 17, soon to be 18 year old that has decided to take control of her own life. With 5 very overprotective brothers, Haven decides she needs to get a job to accomplish what she wants when she graduates, so working in an M.C. bar is what she decides, but one man is in her way a couple owner of the bar Hayes.

    Hayes wants nothing to do with the M.C. club, but he needs to run this bar and when his father gives Haven a job after he tells her to get out he has 2 choices, claim her as his own or leave her to the wolves!!!

    These 2 are connected in ways Haven doesn't know actually Hayes doesn’t even know the full story till close to the end, and when the secrets are exposed and the way they are exposed leads to an explosive end for these 2.

    Another absolutely amazing story from M.Robinson is such a well planned and executed story.
    I can't wait for Cove and Jase their story is going to be unbelievable.
