Sweetest Temptations by J.C. Valentine. 4 STARS
I am enamored with J.C.’s writing. The way she can put your
imagination into overdrive is fantastic. Her way of making the characters come
to life makes you want to continue reading.
You will enjoy all the ups, downs and twists that are within
the pages… are they still called pages if they are on a kindle. Anyway, you
have got to buy this book.
I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.
EXCERPT #2
I saw my sister first, smiling
happily as she piled a mound of mashed potatoes into a large serving bowl. Her
husband, Doug, stood with his back propped against the edge of the sink, a beer
in hand and laughing over a joke I’d missed. Last, my attention was drawn to
the deep, male voice.
My body froze in the doorway,
unable to believe my eyes.
Fucking
hell. Holding a beer in his right hand, the hot guy who’d bought my donuts
was talking animatedly, gesticulating wildly, his eyes dancing with laughter.
Dressed in a pair of worn jeans and a plain white cotton shirt, I decided two
things. One, he was the most fuckable man I had ever laid eyes on, and, two,
Amy was a dead woman.
The room erupted into another round
of laughter and then one by one, they each noticed I was standing there.
“Oh, Abby!” Amy exclaimed, setting
the gravy boat down on the counter and rushing toward me. “I didn’t hear you
come in.” Draping her arm over my shoulder, she gave me a squeeze and said
proudly, “Kennedy Harper, I would like you to meet my lovely sister, Abigail
Satcher.”
Recognition flashed in his eyes and
a smile spread across his face. Wiping his palm on his pant leg, Kennedy
stepped forward and held out his hand. “Call me Ken.”
Oh. My. God. I recalled Ariel’s
comment about Daddy buying her a new Ken. At the time, I had assumed her
seven-year-old mind had taken a leave of absence, but now I realized I was
mistaken. She wasn’t flaky. Rather, in her own little way, she had been telling
me about him. About Ken Harper. Ken,
just like the fucking doll.
I couldn’t help it. I burst out
laughing.
