Publisher's summary

Sophie Dempsey wants to help her sister film a video and then get out of Temptation, Ohio. Mayor Phin Tucker wants to play pool with the police chief and keep things peaceful. But when Sophie and Phin meet, they both get more than they want. Gossip, blackmail, adultery, murder, vehicular abuse of a corpse, and slightly perverse but excellent sex: all hell breaks loose in Temptation as Sophie and Phin fall deeper and deeper in trouble, and in love.

Great story!

Yes, the voice talent was a rapid speaker but that can easily be handled with the Audible App. Just slow it down to about 90%. Then it's perfect.

I've read just about everything Jennifer Crusie has ever written. This is one of my favorites next to Bet Me.

Her stories always suck you in with entertaining characters and involved plot lines.

Give it a listen. You won't be disappointed.

weegun

I loved this story. I had to persist to enjoy the narrator. For me she talks too fast. I understand it's written for speedy dialog & I like it but when you are listening to a story you need some time to let your mind figure out who is talking to whom. Don't let it stop you it is a good read! It's LOL funny & interesting.

One of my favorite Cruise books

What made the experience of listening to Welcome to Temptation the most enjoyable?

This is a cute, funny romance novel. If you just need to de-stress from a busy day and wants some laughs all wrapped up in a romance story, this should do the trick.

Any additional comments?

The narration was fine but a little fast. She should slow it down just a bit.

A sweet listen for someone needing a giggle

I downloaded this to try a new author and was pleasantly surprised with the wit and fun phrase turning. There are some parts that could use a little more delevopment, but all in all- if u want a romance without porn-style sex scences and a bit of mystery- give this story a try.

great story, but too fast

I love Jennifer Cruisie's books, and this is one I've read over and over. Audio books just make it easier for me to enjoy these characters on the go. however, this narrator is really fast. it felt like she was rushing through most of the book, so the story lost some of its quality as a result.

Great book, better audiobook

I've always loved this book, and listening to it via audiobook was a great way to experience it for the first time again. Definitely recommended!
