Tempt

Peachwood Falls

De: Adriana Locke

Narrado por: Maxine Mitchell, Tor Thom

It was a simple job—keeping his teenage daughter out of trouble for thirty days. But I didn’t realize how my grumpy, gorgeous, blue collar, single dad boss would tempt me in all the wrong ways.

Chase Marshall is the bane of my existence. He’s moody, gruff, and impossible to read. Sure, he’s an incredible father, but with me? He’s colder than a February night in this small Indiana town.

And now, because of a favor, I’m stuck living under his roof for the next thirty days.

He claims I’m the most infuriating woman he’s ever met. But then come the lingering glances, the accidental touches that don’t feel so accidental, and a smirk that I want to kiss off his annoyingly handsome face.

The longer we’re together, the hotter it gets—until the tension finally snaps.

Now, nothing is simple. The job. Our boundaries. My feelings.

Will Chase watch me walk away when my time is up? Or will he be tempted to ask me to stay?

Beautiful story

Tempt was such a relatable, torturous (yet fun) slow burn. I loved Megan and Chase from page one and Kennedy added a extra layer of depth to the relationship and story. Adriana has such a wonderful way of writing stories that I just find such a connection with I loved this and look forward to the next instalment from peach wood falls. This was my first time listening to these narrators and they did a good job at tell this story.

Sweet small-town single dad/nanny story

4.5⭐️ 3🌶 4🎧

What a fun, small-town romance. I had so much sun listening to this audiobook. I absolutely adore Maxine Mitchell and they way she portrayed all of the emotions in this book. Her ability to make me feel everything is magical. Tor Thom was a great counterpoint to Maxines softness . He was the perfect casting for Chase and his rough exterior and marshmallow inside.

Megan, Chase, and Kennedy take us through their beautiful heartfelt story. This story was entertaining and swoon worthy. Their is so much heart in this story, lots of banter between all of the characters. I adore a story where there is instant attraction and chemistry, but they are too busy fighting it and each other to give in so quickly.

I enjoyed very much that Kennedy, who is Chases teen daughter, really acted like a 14 year old girl.
she is fun and sassy, full of opinions, but still vulnerable and young. I loved how intrigal she was to the story as a whole. so many single parent books don't pay much attention to the child, but this one had her front and center along with the love story.

Loved it!

Love the story and the narration. The duet was done nicely and really brought the story to life.

Perfectly Peachy!

A standalone grumpy meets sunshine, small town romance, single father, nanny, forced proximity, HEA. This was previously published as "More Than I Could" but I listened to it this time around Maxine Mitchell and Thor Thom had me just as captivated as the first time I read it!

I just finished reading this book and I now have a new blue collar book boyfriend. This book did my heart good, it’s light and fun while hitting me in the feels but not having to bust out the tissues! I devoured in a day; I missed things when some people were trying to talk to me because I was too captivated by the characters. It took me a minute to realize they were talking to me, and I had to ask them to repeat themselves which part of the time was followed by “never mind” and I didn’t I was right back to my book!
Chase Marshall and Megan are perfectly entertaining from Chapter 1. I love that Chase is a “grumpy cat” that absolutely adores his teenage daughter and how great of a father he is. Megan is not shy and maybe doesn’t always use her filter especially if she’s trying to get a rise out of someone and it is perfection. Of course, they have a few things to sort to get to the HEA but this book left me smiling and had me laughing more than anything. I probably could gush on about this book, but you should read/listen to it!

Fantastic start to this new series!

Tempt, book one in the new Peachwood Creek series is sweet, steamy and has a fun meet cute with a follow up situation that throws both Megan Kramer and Chase Marshall into something that neither expected.
I love a grumpy sunshine, single dad character and Chase is all that and more. Add in the nanny vibe and boom, it’s a winner for me. These two go from living under the same roof to the same bed pretty quickly with the pull and chemistry between them being off the charts. Also, to keep the story fun and interesting is his misunderstood teenage daughter, Kennedy and the challenging behavior she is throwing his way, but with Megan in the picture some of those behaviors are finally understood and together they are all finding a new dynamic that works for them all.
I also had the added benefit of listening to the audio version of this story and the narrators did an amazing job that absolutely added to my enjoyment of this book.

Peachwood Falls

Tempt (Peachwood Falls) is a entertaining listen. Chase & Megan's romance did not disappoint. Brewed with fun banter & scrumptious chemistry a delectable listen. I enjoy this trope and this one was great.

Audio narrators Maxine Mitchel and Tor Thom performances were top notch. Maxine had more chapter's and she did an excellent. I loved her tone and pace. Great performance.

I recommend listening this audio.
