Sweet Temptation

Love & Legacy, Book 1

By: Bella Matthews

Narrated by: 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!"

Damn lucky

This is the first book in the new series and it starts off with a bang! Omg Bella’s done it again picked the very best people to narrate. The narrators make this book such an immersive experience! I love how they portray these characters. Andi and Tor made me feel every emotion that the characters had it was truly phenomenal!

So good

Every new book from Bella becomes one of my favorite reads. She’s my go to comfort author and this one had me tearing up a little but still made my heart happy.

Loved them!

I swear Bella only writes books that make me love her characters so much more! Lex & Lucky’s story is so sweet and emotional! They both have such big hearts and care for those around them so strongly. I absolutely adore them and all of the sweet moments they share. Plus we get to see a bit more of Cooper & Carys in this as well - and they are two of my fave characters from the Bella universe!
