Temptation Trails

A Small-Town Romance (The Haven Brothers, Book 3)

De: Claire Kingsley

Narrado por: Jason Clarke, Rose Dioro

He’s hunting a killer so she won’t be next.

Single dad Garrett Haven doesn’t have time for dating. With a teenage son and a high-stakes job in law enforcement, he has enough on his plate.

Besides, he risked his heart once. He has no intention of doing it again.

Until he meets her.

Harper Tilburn brought her passion for baking to the small town of Tilikum to take over her aunt’s bakery. Anything else will have to wait, at least until her bad luck curse runs out.

Her dating hiatus is essential, and she’s sticking to it.

Until she meets him.

The sparks that fly between Garrett and Harper are instantaneous—their attraction undeniable. And suddenly, the practical, responsible sheriff’s deputy is throwing caution to the wind, boldly pursuing Harper, determined to make her his.

But when the cold case Garrett is investigating takes a chilling turn, he fears the perpetrator will strike again—and Harper will be his target. With his career—and his life—on the line, he’ll sacrifice everything to protect the people he loves, and catch a killer before it’s too late.

Author’s note: a buttoned-up sheriff’s deputy gets thoroughly unbuttoned by a sweet as sugar baker. A hero who falls hard and fast, a heroine you’ll root for, a teenage son who will steal your heart, gripping suspense with a shocking twist, and heartwarming found family vibes with a big HEA.

Temptation Trails can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Grab some baked goods and buckle up!

Great fun little romantic suspense. This story had me laughing and crying while trying to guess who the real villain was. It also made me hungry, so go out and grab a box of cookies(cupcakes work too), make a hot chocolate, find a cosy spot to read and settle down, this is pretty fast paced and you won’t want to put it down. Claire Kingsley always picks wonderful narrators and this is no different. When it was time where I would usually switch from audio to visual reading I kept listening because it was so good.

Wonderful series

Perfect series of family, suspense and romance. Narration is wonderful by Jason Clarke and Rose Dioro. I'm looking forward
to the next book.

Loved it!

Temptation Trails has been bumped up to my new favorite of the series. I could not have loved Harper and Garrett more. Garrett is a single dad to Owen and local police detective. Harper is new to town to take over her aunts bakery. After a botched blind date these two have an unlikely meet cute. Even though these two were complete opposites they had immediate sparks between them and undeniable chemistry. I loved the bond that formed between Harper and his Owen. The suspense part of this book had me guessing until the end who was behind it and had me on the edge of my seat. I’m loving Claire’s romantic suspense era. The story was sweet with all of the small town charm we know and love from Claire but it also had heart pounding, nail biting suspense and I loved every moment of this story!

The is audiobook is performed in dual narration by Rose Dioro and Jason Clarke. Rose was the perfect voice for Harper, she brought out her sweet, caring and superstitious personality. Jason was amazing at bringing out Garrett’s protective and serious personality. Together they were a great duo to bring these characters to life.

Sugar Cookies

Another romantic suspense from Claire Kingsley. Harper is a new baker in town and set up on a blind date with the single dad, Garrett. A killer on the loose brings them closer with plots and twists I wasn't expecting.

Wonderful

Another awesome book from Claire Kingsley. Laugh out loud humor and great suspense in this third book in the Haven brothers saga. I can hardly wait for the rest of the brothers to get their forever mates.

Claire Kingsley stands the test of time.

It made me laugh, it made me cry. It made me realize I’ve just been settling for my recent reads. Kingsley’s stories and characters engage me in a way that’s rare in this day when new authors are flooding the market with their attempts. Not that some of them aren’t great. But…. I loved this so much and I am genuinely sad it’s over.

Garrett Is My Favorite Haven!

Claire Kingsley is in her small town romantic suspense era and I am utterly obsessed!!

These Haven brothers had me thirsting for their stories since I first met them in the Bailey brothers series.

Garrett Haven has officially claimed the top spot in my heart of the Haven brothers! Shhh, don’t tell the others. He’s also made his way to my favorites of Claire’s heroes, a seriously tough feat with me having read all her books.

But, man oh man it’s something about a man who’s a gentleman with a possessive side. That wall scene just took me by surprise in the best and hottest ways. Single dad Garrett might’ve made me swoon but growly Garrett is the sexiest Garrett.

Harper was just freaking adorable. Like you couldn’t help but love her. She was so sweet and her inner musings kept me laughing. She had this magnetism that made you want to be to be in her orbit. Her bond she formed with Owen just honestly melted my heart. I adored Owen, he was such a sweetheart and at times so wise beyond his years. His one liners were hilarious. Harper and his friendship and protectiveness over each other was so touching.

Harper had my guy Garrett a straight up goner…I’m talking loss for words, hearts in eyes, making the wrong turns and going out of the way to ensure her safety gone. If it’s one thing I love it’s a man who falls first and hard and that was Garrett to a t. Harper wasn’t far off because it wasn’t long before Garrett had her heart. Their chemistry was undeniable and I just ate their story up like the most delicious dessert.

I loved the family shenanigans. It made for so many laughs and just the warmest of feels. Temptation Trails was everything I could’ve dreamed of and then some. Words cannot express how much I loved this book!

The audio though! Hands down a favorite of mine and not just for the year!

Rose Dioro as Harper was beyond words. Her inner musings, her sweet nature came through beautifully through Rose.
Jason Clarke is an all time favorite, it’s instalove if he’s narrating. Temptation Trails is no exception. He was made to perform Garrett Haven. I cannot imagine a more perfect voice for him. And hearing that growl compared to reading is a whole different experience. I also don’t think I’ll ever get over hearing Jason Clarke say MY name. Eeek.
😭🥹🤭
Rose and Jason were just fan freaking tastic and made this an audio I did not want to stop listening to.

Loved Garrett and Harper!

I loved Temptation Trails, and Garrett Haven has become my new favorite Haven Brother. Claire Kingsley has once again written an often funny, always emotional, perfectly balanced romantic suspense.

I don't know how many people could make as bad a first impression as Garrett Haven did. He literally had a strike against him before Harper even laid eyes on him. He is lucky that Harper gave him another chance, but neither of them counted on finding the love of their life. They tried to fight it, they tried for casual, but when you're meant to be, you're meant to be.

The suspense is what had me hooked. Garret is a police officer with a huge heart, not only when it comes to love, but also when it comes to dedication to his work and to his town. Reviving a cold case, however, makes him and those he loves a target. Claire took us on a journey that had me engrossed and invested.

The audiobook, narrated by by Rose Dioro and Jason Clarke, was a perfect way to experience this story. They brought so much personality to their characters, and really embodied the story. Highly recommended.

Another winner from Claire Kingsley

Not many books make me want to start over as soon as I finish. This one did!

Wonderful story

Loved Garrett & Harper’s love story and adored Owen who was an integral part of their relationship. I loved his own relationship with Harper and the bond they shared. I enjoyed the romance, suspense and family bond that the author brought to this story. Narrators did a fantastic job bringing the story and characters to life.
