BOOKWORM REVIEW: Tempt by Piper Lawson

 

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
SPICE: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

I love a great age-gap, single-parent romance read, and Tempt ticks off the right boxes.

Kat is having somewhat of a crisis. Her friends are moving on and out of their shared apartment, bringing feelings that Kat has suppressed from her past to the surface. When she runs into college professor Daniel, who is overwhelmed with juggling a potential tenure and his young son, Kat and Daniel realize that they may be each other's solution. Kat can work for him as a live-in nanny so he can focus on his tenure. It is a temporary arrangement but as the two get closer, they soon find out that their attraction toward one another may not be as temporary.

I really enjoyed the dynamic between these two. While their connection is portrayed as well-established from previous encounters, we get a nice arc where they ground each other. Kat introduces play -- yes, including that kind of play, too -- into Daniel's all-work world, while Daniel helps Kat find her academic purpose.

Their chemistry is wholesome and hot at the same time. I was most definitely ready for them to kiss and bring on the fire, thanks to Piper Lawson's great job of building the tension. The payoff delivered on its promise; Daniel can be my dirty professor any day.

This is the fourth book in Lawson's Off-Limits series, but as a newcomer, I got the context I need to understand the different characters, so it can be read as a standalone.

ABOUT THE BOOK

He's a single dad and my new boss.
The man is scorching hot, with gorgeous dark eyes and a smile that makes me burn up.
Too bad he's ten years older, with trust issues my psych degree could never unwrap. I shouldn't fall into bed with him, not to mention let my heart get involved. But he makes me feel things I never expected to feel.

She's my son's nanny, and a student at the university where I'm a professor.
Watching her play with my kid, hearing her jokes and imagining how amazing her legs would look over my shoulders is utter torment.
I haven't wanted a woman since my wife died, yet she makes me want things I never thought I'd want again.
I should know better than to pursue this attraction. I need to stay professional.
But she's too tempting.

Tempt is a steamy, swoony, age gap, forbidden romance in the addictive Off-Limits series. This single dad romance novel can be read as a complete standalone!
