It was also exchanges like these between Phin and Sophie that really made me enjoy the book: What at first seemed forced ended up working as both Phin and Sophie realized that their feelings for each other went beyond just a brief affair. I kept asking myself why they were attracted to each other. While I did enjoy this book, I wasn’t really feeling the chemistry between Sophie and Phin. Phin has no problem accommodating her, of course. While everybody in Temptation seems to want something from Phin, Sophie only wants sex. What is supposed to be a week long fling doesn’t take long to turn into something more. That doesn’t stop him from wanting her, nor does it stop him from pursing her. Even Phin Tucker, Mayor of Temptation, can’t tempt her to stay in a town that is bringing up all sorts of bad memories.Īs for Phin, he knows Sophie is trouble the moment he lays eyes on her. From the day she arrived and got hit by Temptation’s most vocal citizen to the day she realizes that her sister is shooting porn, Sophie can’t wait until the day she leaves Temptation. What is supposed to be a documentary on a once semi-famous actress has turned into something she doesn’t want to think about. When Sophie travels with her younger sister, Amy, to Temptation, she has no idea what she has gotten into. So I started this book expecting to love like it, which I did. Holly reminded me (more than once) that Bet Me is JC’s best book.
Coming down off the high that was Bet Me, you’d think that I’d go into this book w/ high expectations. So after reading Bet Me, I checked my shelves to see if I had any other Jennifer Crusie books. This review was originally published on June 3, 2008. All hell breaks loose in Temptation as Sophie and Phin fall deeper and deeper in trouble.and in love.Įvery Thursday in 2018, we’ll be posting throwback reviews of our favorite and not-so-favorite books.

All Phin wants to do is play pool with the police chief and keep things peaceful. And when she has a run-in with the town's unnervingly sexy mayor, Phineas Tucker, making a little movie turns out to be more than a little dangerous.Īll Sophie wants to do is film the video and head home.
From the moment she drive into town, she gets a bad feeling Sophie is from the wrong side of the tracks and everything in Temptation is a little too right.
