EMBRACING TEMPTATION

Sentinel Protection Duology - Book Two

by Laura John

Release Date: March 5, 2022

Review

Book two of the Sentinel Protection duology gives us one very bratty and high-energy bodyguard and his sexy boss and lead bodyguard who likes to give orders!


Terry and Maverick are true opposites who complement each other beautifully. They have some great chemistry and banter. And aren’t too shabby in the sexy department! The care and acceptance Terry gives Maverick made my heart grow a little bigger.


They make for a great pairing that keeps you on your toes and makes you smile.  You also have to love Terry’s family.  They are fantastic.


It was a great addition. Glad both Sentinel men got their happy ending.

Synopsis

TERRY


Love is a curse and I have the failed marriage to prove that.


So many years down the drain and the memory of how it all went bad in the back of my mind is what keeps me closed off, making sure I don’t have a repeat.


But when Maverick comes into the picture, everything changes.


I’m 50 years old, far past my prime, and keep to myself, but he awakens something in me I never knew existed.


I try to keep him at arm’s length, not ready to go down that path again, but he won’t give up that easily.


Slowly, he works his way into my heart, and the more time I spend with him, the more I want him



MAVERICK


Having no family, it’s made the kind of life I live easy.


I live day by day, taking everything one step at a time, and never plant my roots.


But when Terry starts to be shown in a new light, I can’t help but wonder what if.


He’s brooding, closed off, and so fun to tease.


It seems the closer I try to get, though, the more he backs away.


Can I get him to open up or will I push too much and force him to stay away?



Embracing Temptation is book 2 in the Sentinel Protection Series and can be read as a stand-alone!


If you like age-gaps, sunshine/grumpy tropes, and stories of self discover than this book is for you!

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...
