Publisher's Summary

Tempt Me is a collection of five full-length novels from best-selling authors. This collection includes:

• Yours to Bare by Jessica Hawkins - A stand-alone contemporary romance

My journal is the one place I can be myself - as long as I can tie it up and put it away when I'm finished. But when Finn undoes the bow, he pulls strings that could unravel each of us.

• Show Me the Way by A.L. Jackson - A stand-alone single dad romance

When Rex meets his new neighbor, he knows he’s in trouble. Will he hide behind his walls or will he take the chance...

• Make Me Yours by Tia Louise - A stand-alone nanny/single dad romance

He’s a billionaire single dad who needs help. She’s a sassy single gal who needs work. Live-in nanny? What could go wrong?

• Breaker by Harloe Rae - A stand-alone brother's best friend romance

He didn’t mean to break my heart. Or maybe he did. I shouldn’t have made it so easy for him. Either way, our wrongs against each other carved new lines between us.

• Captain by Lauren Rowe - A stand-alone romantic comedy

I hate him. I really do. I just wish my brain would explain the situation to my body...because every time he flashes that panty-melting smile at me, it takes all my self-restraint not to jump the bastard’s hot-as-f--k bones.

Some better then other but overall a great collection

So worth the ONE CREDIT??? Seriously!!! 40+ hours, yes please!! All the books were good some better then others but all in all a good collection of books... now that escape isn’t available collections are the only way to go for me! Or else I’d be out of credits the date I get them 🥺 #BringBackEscape

Sad about the hrs if life I'll never get back!

Wow, just repeat the same inner thoughts for like 30 chapters & that's what you'll get here in each of these stories, it's freaking torture! I finished a few just to give them the real chance, the past couple I cut off before the end because of the amount if pain it was causing to get there. They only narrator worth listening to was Zachary Webber, every other one was just adding additional discomfort to the bad writing. This was such a let down & makes me sad for the hours of my life wasted on these stories. I absolutely do not recommend any of these books.

strong mix of sadness/pain and fun

5 star rating is for the group as a whole

yours to bare -
overall 4
performance 4
story 4
rather depressing. both main characters were in pretty bad places emotionally. pretty intense as far as the hot parts went. her reconciling with her dad was a high point

show me the way
overall 5
performance 4
story 5
sad. I like fun stories, stories that make me laugh, however, I quickly cared about the characters and badly wanted to know how things were going to play out so I had to rate the story highly because it was simply well done

make me yours

story 4
a good amount of smiles. cute story. H and h are both good. child is the great. rated a 4 because once was enough

breaker

smiles, angst, frustration, all around good story. ms kennicott is probably the best female narrator I've ever listened to. H and h and her family all good and interesting

captain
rates a 5
I love this story. I bought it months ago. full review at that time

Worth it!

These 5 books are all amazing! Every story draws you in and holds you so tight you can’t turn away. I found some new authors for my library and got to take a whirlwind trip with a lot of really great characters.

2 out of 5 stories were ok

Book 1, great! Book 2, good. Book 3, struggled through. Book 4, could not finish. Book 5, HELP! So, the 1st 2 books were good. After that? it was a complete struggle. Absolutely could not finish 4th or 5th books. Just awful. The 3rd Book wasn't much better but I struggled through. I'd recommend ordering the 1st two books alone and don't bother with the rest.

Good stories

Each story had a unique theme. saying that the endings were kind of predictable. it was nice yo have a collection of different author's in something like this so the stories didn't seem cookie cutter variety.

Ok if you can hang in there!

Not sure this is worth a credit, however You do get 5 books for it.

Book 1- Struggled to get past chapter 13. If it weren’t for my favorite narrators Andi Arndt and Sebastian York I would’ve just skipped the rest of the book.
Book 2- Great story and Zachary Webber and Andi Arndt made it even better.
Book 3- Nope couldn’t do it. 3 chapters that’s it. The female narrator made it hard to listen. Teddy Hamilton was good .
Book 4- Another good story. I think different narrators would’ve helped more.
Book 5- Great story but again maybe different narrators would’ve made it even better. Sorry Lauren dictation/story telling was almost too whiny at times.

hmmmm Lauren Rowe did a splendid job with Captain

the story is AMAZING and the narration on point. honestly, the other books were all iffy but Captain more than made up for all they were lacking. the banter between them, the humor had me rolling with laughter, I was smiling 95% of the book. well done Lauren Rowe.

Mostly good

only one story (captain) I skipped after the couple finally met up again cause it was bad. the rest were good love stories with steamy sessions. nice to finally feel i got enough quantity and quality for a credit.

Not a bad deal for one credit

I was looking for the most bang for my buck with one credit and I definitely got that. I ended up really enjoying 3 out of 5 of the stories which I feel made it worth it.

Yours to bare, Show me the way and Captain were the three I really enjoyed. They are all very different and have their own troupes but we’re enjoyable. Out of those though, Captain, was hands down my favorite out of the entire collection. It’s the last book and was an amazing pallet cleanser from everything else. It’s what I would say is a romantic comedy and wow it was super funny, well narrated, and a great note to end on. It had me laughing out loud and I would actually go back and listen to that one again at some point. Highly recommend.

The other two stories in the collection just fell flat for me. Story lines were meh and felt a bit rushed and like they were both missing spark between the characters, and the narrators were just ok.

Is this collection worth a credit? Yea, I’d say so. It’s a good solid 48 hours of listening and a big bulk of that was good. If you want something to pass the time while you are traveling or cleaning it’s worth a listen. If you are looking for great content all the way through you may skip.

all good except 1 thing

the 1st story is a bit heavy, but overall good. i truly enjoyed all the others, especially no.2 which was truly emotional (with the bonus of being narrated by 2 of the best narrators out there - Andi and Zach) and the last story made me laugh out loud. the other stories were not that memorable but i still had a good time. the only negative point here is Lucy Rivers who i personally do not enjoy lostening (not even 1 bit) all characters sound the same and she pretty sounds like Alexa (no expressions, very automated like sound), luckily she was matched to Teddy Hamilton who is brilliant. if you can go over her poor performance, you are up for a great reading time - luckily she was reading ony one of these books.

really lovely read/ listen

enjoyed this collection and definitely great narration by all ,well worth the credit. fabulous author's.

Adored this compilation

Brilliant, varied, funny, sad and exciting.
Loved every story especially the playfulness of the final story by Lauren Rowe.

A fabulous collection highly recommended.

Great set, amazing final story

Lauren Rowe has just become my new favourite author because “Captain” was the cherry on top to this great set of books with brilliant vocals from all. Top marks to John Lane - you rock!!!

Overall, stories were well written and narrated in a way that brought them to life. The mixture of authors meant each story was completely different yet equally interesting in its own way.

romance

Hats off to all the narrators Andi Arndt, Sebastian York, Zachary Webber, Lucy Rivers, Teddy Hamilton, Wen Ross, Kai Kennicott, Lauren Rowe, John Lane

All the books were good some better then others but all in all a good collection of books...

Review for Captain by Lauren Rowe

Reread of Captain 4 ⭐ While this book might be heavy on the miscommunication trope, the fact that it's so full of banter and Ryan's complete obsession with Tessa means I can't help but love it (the most)

enjoyable

the final story was the best for me but this set is ok, a little slow in a couple of the books but still a good listen
