TEDDY’S TEMPTATION

Heart of Harmony Grove - Book Two

by Quinn Ward

Release Date: June 22, 2023

Review

I love a small-town age-gap romance and this one gives me all the feels. Harmony Grove is a wonderful town that is largely inclusive and has a wonderful group of friends at the center.


Teddy’s recently out of 30-year marriage. He’s getting used to being on his own, being able to do what he wants when he wants. He’s not looking to start another relationship. But some busybody friends are determined to see Teddy and Shiloh as happy as they are. So when Shiloh needs someone to renovate an expansion of his Bakery, it seems a perfect fit to have dependable and trustworthy Teddy help out. And if it becomes more than just business…


I enjoyed both of these men. Teddy is kind, steady and down to earth. And he’s a great pairing for Shiloh who works so hard he frequently forgets to eat. He’s lovely but he needs someone to rely on and help him take time to enjoy life. And though they may have a large age gap, they are perfectly suited.


It’s been a while since we’ve been in Harmony Grove, and I’m pleased Quinn has brought us back to it.

Synopsis

Love gets a second chance in this slow burn, age gap romance...

Welcome to Harmony Grove, where everyone knows your name, and your love life is the hottest topic at the local diner.


When my best friend arranged a meeting with Shiloh, the enigmatic owner of the town's new bakery, I wasn't prepared for the sweet temptation that awaited. There he was, all charm and pastries, stirring up more than just my appetite.


I didn't think I'd have room for love after my divorce, but then Shiloh appeared, dusted in flour and full of sass, awakening my heart like the first coffee of the day. Our chemistry was palpable, like the perfect blend of sugar and spice. But Shiloh was a puzzle, all business in the front, but hints of longing lurking in his eyes.


As I transitioned from helping him expand his bakery to envisioning a future with him, I knew I had to make him see that he didn't have to sacrifice love for success. Yet, Shiloh was as stubborn as a day-old bagel, insistent on keeping us strictly professional.


Just when I thought we were getting somewhere, disaster struck, threatening everything Shiloh had worked for. But I'm Teddy, a man who knows how to pick up the pieces and build something even stronger.


Teddy's Temptation is the second book in the Heart of Harmony Grove series. A tale of second chances, personal growth, and the sweetest love you'll ever taste. You don't have to read the first book to fall in love with Harmony Grove, a place where the gossip is hot, but the community spirit and the love stories are even hotter.

REVIEW: Hateful Love by T. Ashleigh & Addison Beck (King of Aces #1)

  HATEFUL LOVE King of Aces - Book One by T. Ashleigh & Addison Beck Release Date: February 1, 2024 Review That was a freakin’ fantastic story! This book is on the longer side, so when I went to bed to read at 8 pm I knew I wouldn’t finish it all.  Well, that was a lie I told myself because let me tell you, I barely even noticed when the clock chimed midnight and I was still reading. I was so utterly engrossed in this story that I could have been on fire and not noticed. Firstly, the prologue…wow, so touching, and gave such a fantastic incite into Silas. It’s a common story, two guys from different ‘sides of the track’ hate one another. Prejudices run high, assumptions are made. It would be difficult to imagine them ever being civil to one another, let alone falling in love. When I reached 50% I was thinking, okay, this is good, but I can’t imagine what’s left to cover over 200 pages…but let me tell you, that is when things really heated up and you knew you wouldn’t be put...

REVIEW: Resting Beach Face by DJ Jamison (Swallow Cove #4)

  RESTING BEACH FACE Swallow Cove - Book Four by DJ Jamison Release Date: February 20, 2025 Review Declan is so beautiful. Quiet, a little grumpy, a little withdrawn, and maybe a little lost and lonely. Then there’s Cash - outgoing, sexual, and completely obsessed with Declan.  It’s a slow burn. One that requires both of them to shift their understanding of each other, and time to truly learn and understand both themselves and the other. I love both the trajectory of the relationship as well as the life and home they build.  It’s a truly wonderful pairing that may be my favourite in the series. Sure I see a bit of myself in Declan, but I also just adore the way Cash grew and how they balanced each other. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis He could have anyone he wants...so why is he so interested in me? Cash is a gorgeous chaotic bi guy with a reputation for getting around. And me? I'm the antisocial grump, closed off and lonely. We should be like oil and water....

REVIEW: The Burnt by Peter E Fenton (Declan Hunt Mysteries #3)

  THE BURNT The Declan Hunt Mysteries - Book Three by Peter E. Fenton Release Date: August 5, 2025 Review I wish there were more mystery romances out there.  I love the mystery-solving, both the entertainment value of the cases, but also as a plot point to a developing relationship. And Declan and Charlie are a dynamic duo. They have great banter, but are also caring people. Book three, and Declan and Charlie are still finding their way as boyfriends and colleagues, but it’s clear they could be amazing. And now Charlie is learning to become a detective, too. They each take on a case, but before long, they find their cases connecting. Which is perfect, because they do their best work together. They put to bed a case that Declan worked on as a police officer, but it also uncovers some things that I’m sure will cause them both some headaches in the future!!  Peter is a great writer, and I especially love this series.  Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Book th...
