Tempted by Love Audiobook Summary

She was this Montana Man’s greatest temptation . . .

Alina Cooke–little sister of his two best friends–is the last woman DEA agent Jay Bennett should be waking up next to on the day of her brother’s wedding. But their powerful attraction ignited a powder keg of desire, and their once simple friendship has just become impossibly complicated.

Alina’s always been steady, focused, and lived on the safe side of life. Jay is totally devoted to his dangerous job. She knows a future with him will be filled with worry that one day he won’t come home. She’s done it with her brothers. She’s not sure she can face that uncertainty with the man she loves. Yet being in his arms is a bad idea they keep repeating, again and again.

When Alina is run off the road, Jay fears his job has made her a target. But the threat in Alina’s life is closer than they think. As the enemy gets more ruthless, Alina proves she’s no easy target and Jay will do anything to bring them down. Because surviving and being together is the only thing that matters.

NOW LIVE!Amazon US * Amazon UKI'm a sucker for a good friends-little-sister story and this one hit the mark for what I wanted. Alina and Jay intrigued me just as much as the suspenseful parts of their story did and I really enjoyed getting to learn more about them. Their romance was really good and I liked how it blended with the more suspenseful moments of the book. I liked how the romance between characters blended with the mysterious parts and I thought it was a good combination where one part didn't take over the other. The story kept me intrigued with the characters and had me captivated by them as well as their story. Overall, this is a book I would definitely recommend. I think it could be read without being caught up on the series since I've only read the previous book and had no problem or moments of confusion.

Good lord, is there nothing better than a strong, sexy, alpha male matched up with his equal partner in her own strength, sexiness and ability to love through some really challenging situations? This is exactly what you get with Alina and Jay in Tempted by Love.Jay and Alina are a match made in heaven—well, maybe if her brothers stay out of it! But in all seriousness, the connection between Jay and Alina is undeniable. And sexy AF. They are perfect for each other. Jay’s lived a hard, solitary life due to his job in the DEA. Alina’s been unlucky in the love department. And both realize there’s something more missing from their lives—happiness, love and joy with another person. Having a lover to come home to after a long day. Someone who’ll just let them be who they are and love them through it.But all is not easy for Jay and Alina. There is danger lurking around every corner due to Jay’s job. But there’s danger now for Alina too—and Jay will stop at nothing to ensure her safety. And neither will Alina’s brothers.I loved how the relationship between Alina and Jay seemed to happen so naturally. Yes, it was quick, but they’ve known each other for years. And, whoa, their sexy times nearly melted my Kindle. I absolutely loved the relationship between Alina and her brothers, Beck and Caden. And of course, the relationship between Jay and Beck and Caden, too! Tempted by Love was an excellent wrap up to the Montana Heat series—especially with that Epilogue. Swoon. ~ Missy, 5 stars

My Review:There was so much to love about this book, but I'll be honest...it was like reading two amazing books together. The beginning is the fun, happy, contemporary meet-cute with all the light-hearted wedding activities. Then the last 2/3's is filled with action, drama, suspense, and danger. It was the best of both worlds. Alina has two brothers who work in the DEA. Their boss is Jay, so she's known Jay for a while as an acquaintance that she sees at big social gatherings...like her brothers' weddings...which is what's happening at the beginning of the book. Both her brothers are getting married in back-to-back days. As a result, Alina is feeling a bit down. BOTH her brothers (who've always been confirmed bachelors) have found their forever-love before her. She doesn't even have any prospects on the horizon. Her career is established. Everything is in place, but there's no guy or even a hope of a guy. So, when Jay sees her in the hotel bar, she's at a pretty low point. But he's in his forties and has been having the same thoughts all weekend while watching his two best friends find their forever. He wants that, too. The two spend the evening drinking and commiserating in the hotel bar where one thing leads to another. They're both surprised at how easily and naturally they connect, so they end up doing it again the next night, but this is only supposed to be a one-time thing...even if they're both getting hints of emotions to go along with the fantastic bedroom gymnastics. Alina knows the fear in life with a DEA agent. She doesn't want that. And Jay doesn't exactly want to confess to his two friends what he's been doing with their sister.But he's DEA, and she's a pharmacist...they have more in common than they ever thought possible.It's a great book. I enjoyed every minute of reading it. The romantic setup was fun and the suspense line made for some really great intense moments. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and definitely recommend it. I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for an honest and voluntary review.

Jay Bennett is totally devoted to his job and has his own reasons for avoiding romantic commitments, but his friends' weddings have given him a reason to rethink his avoidance of long term romantic relationships and the most unlikely woman has caught his eye - his friends' baby sister.Alina Cooke has been focused on finishing college and finding her feet career-wise that everything else took a back seat, but her casual friendship with Jay morphs into a fiery sexual one in a flash and they find that they are perfect for each other. Jay and Alina are great together because they don't spend time agonizing about their feelings and all that drama, but danger lurks. Could Jay's job have made Alina a target or is the danger coming from the least expected source? I have enjoyed this series from the first book because of the combination of suspense, intrigue and romance that the author so skillfully put together. I read the books out of order but was so wowed that I could not wait to get my hands on this installment. I don't really mind insta-love stories, but something about this one didn't feel quite right. Alina knew Jay for a long time and never felt even the slightest attraction to him until that one perfect moment? Kind of far-fetched to me, but I really liked that they had minimal drama about their feelings for each other.Now, the long monologues and the fact that the majority of the story focused on their relationship dynamics was not something I enjoyed especially because the suspense part of the story was neglected for this. There was also a lot of filler material that was unnecessary to the story and just ended up making it very long. Honestly, I skimmed through parts of the book from the beginning when it became tedious and it wasn't until I got to the action I was looking for that I got completely caught up in the story.If you are a fan of contemporary romance, you may enjoy the long drawn out bits about Alina and Jay's relationship, but if you love romantic suspense it may feel like a lot of work to get to the action and suspense. Enjoy reading!Disclaimer: I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book. All opinions stated are solely mine.Want more?

Reviewed for Romancing the Readers Blog: https://romancingthereaders.blogspot....There is nothing better then reading a favorite author. For me one of those favorites is Jennifer Ryan. From the first book of hers I read I was hooked on her. If you haven't yet tried her she is so worth your time. Tempted by Love is the third book in her Montana Heat series. I almost think it's my favorite of this series. Of course we all know I say that a lot about many books in the series I love. What can I say, I have a problem. I think you'll really enjoy both Jay and Alina's relationship. Yes, it was slightly rushed how they fell in love, but because of how much I enjoyed them and the story line I didn't mind so much. For this book it worked well. You'll be slightly shocked about Jay's mom but I think as the book goes on you realize they, Jay and his mom, have things they both need to deal with and it happens nicely within the story. Family relationship aren't always easy. As a whole Tempted by Love is a wonderful story, one that you'll really want to read. Alina's brothers from the prior books and their wives are in this book and I'm glad their story lines are tied up. Of course because of that you might want to read the series in order. Not to worry it make the series as a whole so much better if you take the time to read them the way they are published.

The Book Junkie Reads . . .

August 24, 2018

Sad to say that although I love the series as a whole and most of the individual books. This one was different. Something felt illusive during the reading. I have read all the prior books of this series. I have loved getting to know the Cooke brothers and their women and King and his woman. I have been waiting and wondering if Alina Cooke would get her a love. Then Jay. There was just something about him that lulled me in and said yes. Alina Cooke was more on the quite and bit reserved side of things. She was the opposite of stand up and take charge. Jay was the one night of heated passion she took for herself. She was not expecting or anticipating things to go the way they did. Jay was her brothers friend and he was more or less a no-no. Alina lives life more cautiously. She never felt the need to be protected. That was until someone decides that she was a threat or collateral. Will it be her growing attachment to Jay that get her in danger or will something else be playing games with her?There was intrigue, danger, and mystery, but at the same time the level of it all seemed to be lower than previously set standards of JR's work.

HOT! HOT! HOT!Jennifer Ryan’s Montana Heat series will blow you away with these hot and dangerous DEA Special Agents! Her attention to detail brings every word to life and takes you on a journey of emotions. You will no doubt be swooning over Agents Caden Cooke, Beck Cooke, Dawson King, and Jay Bennett. Tempted by Love is the last novel in this breathtaking series. DEA agent Jay Bennett had my attention from the moment he was introduced in previous novels and I was stoked to finally read his story! And Lord have mercy, his story was so overwhelmingly perfect I didn’t want it to end. Even though he’s the boss of this elite team of badasses, he found the one woman in the world who could bring him to his knees - Alina Cooke, the younger sister to his two best friends. But he knew, he just did, that she was his heart and body’s only weakness the moment he saw her joyfully laughing with her sister-in-laws one night. He’d known her for years, knew things about her from her brother’s idle chit chat, but not until now had he seen her in this overwhelmingly passionate way. As impulsive as it was, he had to act. Bad idea? Absolutely! Did he care? He should, but some bad ideas were worth the repercussions. Going after Alina started as a bad idea but ended up being worth everything.Alina Cooke. Close to both of her older brothers, Caden and Beck, knew what DEA life was like. She hated it. She hated the worry of not knowing if they were safe, if a drug cartel was going to finally take them out before they could take them down. She was methodical in life, safe, planned. She needed order to counterbalance her brothers’ chaotic lives. They had each finally found women who could accept what they did for a living, bring some perspective to it other than the dangers of work, and she was jealous. Happy for them, yes, but jealous because they found what she always wanted. Her brother’s best friend and boss, Jay Bennett, sparks her interest the moment (ok, after a few drinks) he sits on the bar stool next to her after Caden’s wedding. He’s older, sexy, and filled to the brim with bad ideas. Bad ideas she’s all on board for as long as her brothers don’t find out about it!One steamy bad idea turns into two, which turns into a fire burning so bright between these two characters you will leave fingerprints on the cover in anticipation. When Alina finds herself tangled up in an unexpected dangerous situation, Jay will take on the world to keep her safe and in his arms forever. Tempted by Love was so full of heart, passion, heat, and humor I found it to be the perfect ending to the series. My heart still has all the feels! ENJOY!

Tempted By Love closes out Jennifer Ryan's Montana Heat series based upon the Cooke family and a close friend and associate King. Older brothers Caden and Beck are DEA agents as is King as is jay Bennett the hero of this story who falls in love with the youngest of the Cooke siblings Alina. I really enjoyed this book. Jennifer hit the right notes with Jay and Alina falling carefully in love and the tension of potential violence that is her M.O. in all of her stories. Alina is a great heroine. She's the perfect woman. And Jay is of course the perfect man. While they've known each other casually for years with Jay being best friends, boss and co-worker with Caden and Beck, its at the weekend of Caden's and Beck's weddings that they discover an explosive physical attraction to one another. They proceed cautiously as Jay worries about how her brothers will react to his dating their baby sister and worries whether Alina can deal with being with a DEA Agent who lives for his job. Alina too worries whether she can be in a relationship with a man who risks his life every day and whose career consumes so much of his life. Ironically there's a threat to Alina's safety that has nothing to do with her brothers or Jay's profession. Can Jay and Alina work through their issues and build a lasting relationship to go with their explosive physical chemistry? Can Jay keep Alina safe from the threat on her life?I had two minor issues with this story. One is the author regurgitates a lot of the King/Cara story from the previous book. I know she's trying to show how dangerous Jay's job is and how when his own life is threatened he realizes what Alina means to him but still, I read that book and I really didn't want to read several pages that felt copied and pasted into this one. My other issue which admittedly is minor is the implication that Alina might some how be arrested and even spend time in jail due to what her co-worker was doing and his attempts to implicate her. I mean, she was the whistle blower. She was the one gift wrapping all the evidence to hand the Feds. In what world would they try to prosecute her as his accomplice? All in all this was a really good addition to the series that included the couples from the other two books and novella. It had a great ending that included everyone getting their "Happily Ever After" and after all isn't that why we read these stories. Nice work Jennifer and your next series looks really interesting. Wish I didn't have to wait until next March to read it.

I don't actually know if it's possible to be so excited that the book you have waited for all summer is finally here! But equally be devastated that one of your favorite series has come to an end?! But that is exactly how I feel over Tempted by Love by Jennifer Ryan and I think that feeling will stay with me for the rest of the summer, or at least until December when her new series comes out.If you have read any of the other books in Montana Heat series, then you would have met both of our lead characters before, and you wouldn't be surprised that Tempted by Love is not a sweet romance, but a hot, romantic suspense book, filled with "what the heck" and yelling at your book moments! well actually I've just described every book Jennifer Ryan has ever written, but the Montana Heat series has taken it to a whole new level! So let me tell you about the story...Alina Cooke had watched both of her brothers go through hell because of their jobs as DEA agents, but that didn't stop her from appreciating their job, and as she watched them get married to the women they love, she felt jealous, not for losing their attention, no! She could totally do without that, but because they had found their person, which despite her successful career as a pharmacist, Alina wants that too! But when Alina looks at her brothers friend and fellow DEA agent Jay Bennett, sparks fly between them like wild fire! But it would be totally a bad idea to go there with Jay…wouldn't it!?From the very first page of this book I knew I was going to fall in love with this book and its characters, and not just because I absolutely love Jennifer Ryan's books! Even though she is and amazing author, but because the dynamics of Alina and Jay's relationship! The brothers best friend is hot and spicy all at the same time, and I love it.As I said before the authors writing is incredible and you can almost picture each scene or reaction clearly in you head! You can feel the suspense bleeding through the pages in to my subconscious, which means Tempted by love is a clear winner for the author.I give Tempted by Love 5 stars!

Man, Jay and Alina burned hot and fast. Their chemistry is intense!This story crosses over with the last book in this series, True to You. I’m letting you know that right away because I got a bit confused when the scenes with King started popping up. It’s been more than a year since I read that book so it took me a minute to remember that Alina comes up in discussion with King and Jay in that book and my foggy brain finally realized the timelines of the two books ran parallel.Although Alina and Jay have every reason to stay away from each other (he’s best friends with her very overprotective brothers), they just can’t seem to resist the pull. In the beginning it’s sizzling hot. After that first weekend it’s still hot, but gets sweeter and sweeter. Both characters have always wanted to settle down and they’re both ready. Jay has never found anyone who understands his work and his schedule. Alina has never felt the connection and mutual respect she wants in a relationship. That changes when they decide to give their chemistry more than a roll in the hay chance.On top of the chemistry and affection the two have, there’s a lot of action in this story. While the reader knows what’s going on, Jay and Alina do not. Because Alina is dating a DEA agent as well as both of her brothers being DEA agents, when she is hurt it’s hard for anyone to look beyond her being hurt because of them and their jobs. I enjoyed how the pieces of this story fell into place. As always, I appreciate Jay and Alina acknowledging the speed of their relationship. Sometimes when you know you know. And I’m okay with that. You can find more of my reviews at All In Good Time.

Adventure, DEA Agents and heat, all in one book. This author always writes an exciting story-line that keeps us reading into the night. It’s a great story! Her brother Caden, had Mia, his new wife; her brother Beck, had his new wife Ashley; being their sister, now Alina was without someone special in her life. The brothers were dedicated DEA Agents with a team of men who found danger in every case as they took down drug cartels and other drug peddlers. Jay was one of the teammates that lived a life of danger, but his most dangerous move was getting acquainted with his best buddies little sister, Alina. I smiled as the tangled web moved along in the story and got the tense feeling in my chest as guns were blazing, windows broke, knives were thrust and people died. I loved the action in the story and the heat in the bedroom. This is a book for adults and will hold your interest until the end.

Jay was in trouble. He took his friendship to the next level and was not willing to settle down and give up his dangerous job for Alina. The title is a good fit, because fate keeps tempting them and getting them together. However it is a good think that Jay was around for her when she got into trouble. I did think that there was a lot of repetition of the other books in the series, at times I felt as though I was rereading what I had already read. However My mother in law read the book after me and she enjoyed the background, having not read the previous books. Especially how they are all tied together at the end. These two were my favorite couple by far, and I loved how family oriented they were. The live stream was my favorite! I am giving this book a 4/5. All opinions are my own.
