Sweet Temptation

Love & Legacy, Book 1

De: Bella Matthews

Narrado por: Andi Arndt, Tor Thom

From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a brother's best friend, bad boy/good girl, football romance.

Lucky Beneventi might be the villain in my fairytale, but given the choice, I’m not sure I’d have it any other way.

My brother’s best friend and Philly’s favorite football player is the same cocky bad boy every girl wants and the dangerous temptation I was never supposed to touch.

Until I did. . . And now I can’t stop.

I’m selfish enough to crave him—his kiss, his body, his heart—even when I know I’ll leave it shattered in the end. But this can’t happen. We can’t happen. I won’t let us. Even if he makes me feel alive in a way my broken body knows won’t last forever. . .

Because the truth is, when the story ends, Lucky isn’t the villain. I am.

Omg so good couldn’t stop listening

I loved how the voices picked for the characters matched so good absolutely loved the story line pure love and feel god brought some tears but good tears love the kroyden crew never disappoints I can escape reality for a while and live in fantasy

Meant to Be!

Andi Arnot and Tor Thom did a great job with Lexi and Lucky. I didn't know this book was going to be as emotional as it was. Maybe it was me or maybe it was the fact that denying yourself someone to love because you want to spare them grief hits different. Lucky is the bad boy football player that Lexi should avoid. Lexi is the good girl and little sister of his best friends which should make her off limits. These two are so entertaining as they warm up to each other. It was hard not to fall in love with these characters and hope they get a HEA.

"Lexi. She's the Phoenix forged in the flames. Love her harder. Hold her tighter. Then watch her fly!"

Phenomenal story and narration!! So emotional!! All the feels!!

𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 is the first book in the new Love and Legacy series by Bella Matthews, feauturing a brother’s best friend, football romance for Lexie and Lucky!! Are you ready for a real rip-your-heart-out-romance? Bella Matthews has been sharpening her skills at just that with every book, and she may have just mastered it with this one, book friends!! Lexie’s health condition is no secret, but the raw and gritty emotions it conjures on many levels had me in tears and in awe at the same time. These characters were written with such beauty and grace, you can tell how much research and sensitivity this author always invests into her characters and their unique challenges. Lexie was sheer inspiration on the page as she struggled through unimaginable dilemmas, and still found the strength to get up every morning and reach for her goals and fight for every d**n breathe like the warrior princess she is! And Lucky Beneventi has shot out of the gate and lapped every other Bellaverse man I love, just to steal the title of my favorite, hands down! His resolute, determination to care for her melted my heart! The chemistry between took my breath and made me blush. The extended cast as a whole, as usual, brought a lightness to the heavy through hilarious banter and group chats that simply cannot be matched in any other fictional world. The emphasis placed on family in this world is one of my favorite things, and watching these characters evolve from one generation to the next has been an indescribable joy! I knew Coop as a dad would be a trip, but under these circumstances, it was protective girl dad on steroids, and I was here for it! There are clearly so many amazing stories coming, but I was so invested in Lexie and Lucky that I just wasn’t ready to let them go yet, even with an amazing epilogue there! This was a phenomenal story!! Truly worth all the tears, and deserving of all the stars!!

I was so excited to dive back into 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 via audio with duet narration by Andi Arndt and Tor Thom! They nailed the heart-wrenching emotions that left me in tears when I read it the first time, as well as the witty banter, the passion, and the unbeatable found family vibes and bonds that are uniquely Kroydon Hills! Experiencing Lucky and Lexie this way was extra special!

Sweetest Story with Sweet Narration

This book is one of the sweetest stories written by Bella Matthews. It's got so much heart 🩷 and the narration is done so well by Tor Thom and Andi Arndt. I do feel that there were times that Tor's voice for various characters were too similar in certain scenes so it was hard to determine which character was speaking. However I thought he did very well as Lucky! Really great audiobook all in all.

A must listen!!!

Wow. I thought reading this book was amazing but being able to listen to it and feel the emotions through the narrators had me in tears and clutching my phone to my chest. Bella you couldn’t have picked a better duo for this book!! So so good
