Publisher's summary

I romanced her for revenge...but what if she's not the enemy after all?

I'm Clint Holmes. I was an ambitious guy with a busy life and a growing business. Sure, North Dakota wasn't a tropical paradise, but I was happy enough - until tragedy struck. Now the only thing that matters is finding the person responsible and making her pay. But Bethany Banks is a Harvard-educated shark used to swallowing her enemies whole while playing dangerous corporate games. How can a blue-collar oil man like me possibly beat her?

The moment I lay eyes on my beautiful nemesis, the answer is obvious. I seduce her.

On Maui, where she's fled, I get to know the man-eater who caused my family so much pain...only to find she's not the brazen ballbuster I assumed. She's skittish, secretive, vulnerable. For some reason, my instinct is to protect her. I can't abandon my plan, but I can't stop wanting her. Night after night, I pry her open with my touch until I'm drowning in our passion. Soon, I'm questioning everything, especially the fine line between love and hate. But when the past comes back to wreak vengeance and the truth explodes, can I prove that I'm more than tempted to love her forever?

Contains mature themes.

Kept me at the edge of my seat.

Very good listen. Enjoyed it all the way to the end. Will listen to more of this authors stories

More Angsty

This book had more angst than the rest of the book in this series. Although it's part of a series, you ain't have to read the rest of the books to enjoy this one.

Clint and Bethany’s story was a tough one from the start. After his dad loses all his money to Bethany’s dad’s Financial Investment firm Clint is out for revenge. After hearing from his buddy that Bethany is in Maui, he travels to Hawaii to get his pound of flesh. Expecting to find a cold-hearted bitch, he finds something completely different. Instead of finding revenge he finds his heart.
This was a book that had me holding my breath and then jumping for joy. Beautifully performed by Christian Fox.

More....

Another hit in Shayla Black’s more than words series! Here Shayla takes a seemingly simple plot and makes it so much more. Misdirected revenge turned inside out! We get more of the dysfunctional turned lovingly functional Reed clan, which is always awesome! Ms Black delivers lots and lots of feels, as always, and sucks you in so you don’t want to leave...ever! Do yourself a favor, start at the beginning of the series with More Than Want You. You’ll be thrilled you did!💖
PS Christian Fox’s narration is completely enthralling!💖

Interesting

It was a quick and interesting read. This storyline was interesting and you can’t help but feel for both characters. So glad that the found their happy ending

Did she or didn't she?

Another great read that I really enjoyed listening to! Clint is set on getting revenge for the death of his father and the lost money that his father had invested. He target is Beth, who was an investors at the company. Beth flees to Hawaii to regroup and spend some time with her half siblings. Clint is hot on her tail after hearing she was hiding there until everything blows over.
The author did a beautiful job of depicting the grief, I felt the characters were believable and I enjoyed listening to them fall in love. The only complaint is that I wish there was a female voice for the main character, all of the women sounded the same.
Overall a great read. really enjoyed and would still recommend!

Short and Sweet

Aside from the manipulation lies and treachery, I actually like this book. I enjoyed it content. I always enjoy listening to Christian Fox, narrate stories, and I especially like the characters. This is an ongoing saga that I really enjoy as twins into each and every book. Hopefully I’ll be able to read the next one.

Engageing

Labor & Delivery chapter raised to hilarious comedy scene. Loved the characters and the story.

Sexy Christian Fox!!!

So after listening to Christian Fox numerous times, I am definitely a huge fan of his, As always he doesn't disappoint his listeners at all. This was hot and sexy story. As always Shayla Black didn't disappoint us at all.

My favorite in the series

I love this series so much because of how the characters from the other books are intwined with the current story. I love how they are not forgotten. Another reviewer said this story had so much angst which is true…however….it wasn’t done in a whiny way or a roll your eyes way. As a reader/listener I was asking and reflecting the same questions. Going back and forth on how I would feel if I was Clint or if I was Bethany. I laughed out loud (at the grocery store mind you) at the birthing scene. I also got choked up when the lies came crashing in on them both. Shayla I love your writing and will look for more books by you! You have a talent and I am SO grateful that you share it with us. Christian, also thank you, your voice gives such depth and feeling to Shayla’s characters. I could listen to you non stop!

Another great listen in this series

MORE THAN TEMPT YOU is the fifth book in the More Than Words series. This book can be read as a standalone although I recommend you read all the books in the series in order for some great story. Clint and Bethany story is a good story that makes since because when u lose a parent, especially unexpected you never know how someone will react. I absolutely love series so you can keep tabs on the other characters in the series. I can’t get enough of Harlow and Noah and you get some of them. Shayla Black never disappoints, and she didn’t here either.
