Summary

You’ve heard the story about the wedding planner who falls for the groom?
Well, this is the one where she falls for his father。
And that groom? He’s my ex。

I didn’t realize who the gruff, gorgeous older man was the night he rescued me from a creep in a Manhattan hotel bar。 All I knew was that a hot, bearded stranger with a protective streak showed up right when I needed a reminder that real gentlemen still exist。

(Although he left his manners behind after asking me up to his room。)

It was the hottest night of my life, but I never thought I’d see the former Navy SEAL again。

Imagine my surprise at the rehearsal dinner one week later, when my sexy one-night stand is introduced as the father of the groom。 Even more surprising? That temptation we felt in New York was no fluke。

In public, we pretend there’s nothing between us。

In private, we can’t keep our hands off each other。

The situation is beyond complicated。 Zach never even knew he’d fathered a child until recently, and he wants to earn his son’s trust and respect。 As for me, I’m looking for a man who wants to start a family, and Zach has made it clear he’s not that man。 He’s fifteen years older, newly divorced, and he lives across the country。

But no matter how many times we draw the line, we keep crossing it。

Nothing so wrong should ever feel so right。

My fav of the series!Adored this couple。 Fmc is a curvy 32yo。 (Omg thaannnk youuu!) Mmc 47yo divorcee who just so happens to the newly found dad of fmc ex boyfriend。 Oops🤦🏽‍♀️Truly loved this very sweet adult relationship, with real life type scenes and without petty drama。 This book was recommended to me but I had to read 1-3 first (it’s a problem I’m in no hurry to fix)。 I’ll likely remember this book most of the series。 (And maybe Hutton)

All the EmotionsFrom the beginning I couldn’t stop! But then again I have been impatiently waiting for Mellie to get her own story! Did I think the older hot and delicious Zach would be her man? Absolutely not! However, it just works! She deserves someone who would be the strength she always is for everyone else。 As fierce as a protector as she’s been。 He matches her in every way。 And for extra spice he’s her ex’s dad!? But hey, she even said they were more friends than actual lovers。 And he’s h All the EmotionsFrom the beginning I couldn’t stop!

It’s a small-town, age-gap romance with an intriguing plot: An FMC, Millie, who is planning the wedding of her ex-boyfriend, not knowing her recent one-night stand was with said Ex’s father, Zach。 Yea… haven’t seen that plot twist before and that drew my attention。 Melanie Harlow is really good at pacing in her writing, which keeps the story moving。 And the attraction that grows between them as they navigate this minefield cannot be denied。 Both Millie and Zach have their own personal growth moments which adds a deeper richness to this story。 It’s a sexy fun book。Sebastian York and Lucy Rivers do a wonderful job。 What a pairing! Sebastian is so good narrating the brooding males and boy is Zach a brooding loner。 Lucy Rivers has a great range of emotions, however her male voice is a little breathy for my taste in some places but it doesn’t detract from the story。 。。。more

Tempt is a swoony, age-gap/forbidden romance that will melt your heart。 This addicting story has all the feels that I love, making me laugh, sigh, smile and swoon all at the same time。 Millie MacAllister steps out of her comfort zone on a business trip and meets broody, sexy, Zach Barrett after he rescues her from a creep at the hotel bar。 They connect instantly and have a night of explosive passion。 They separate the next morning, when they must fly home to opposite ends of the country。 They th Tempt is a swoony, age-gap/forbidden romance that will melt your heart。 This addicting story has all the feels that I love, making me laugh, sigh, smile and swoon all at the same time。 Millie MacAllister steps out of her comfort zone on a business trip and meets broody, sexy, Zach Barrett after he rescues her from a creep at the hotel bar。 They connect instantly and have a night of explosive passion。 They separate the next morning, when they must fly home to opposite ends of the country。 They think of each other everyday but never call。 Millie is confident, and curvy and owns her body。 She is a wedding planner but wonders when it will be her own? Zach is a security specialist in California, and newly divorced。 He gets a call one day that he has a grown son in Michigan, that he never knew about。 He is not sure how to feel about it, only that he wants to be an honest and decent father for him。 When he shows up at his sons wedding, Millie is there。 They are both shocked, but the chemistry is still there, and hotter than ever。 The fiery pull between them leaves them helpless against acting on their attraction, despite the many complications it could cause。 They find ways to be together in secret, but the more their hearts become involved, the more they realize it can never work。 Millie wants marriage and a family, and Zach is older and doesn't want any of that, and his life is in San Diego。 When all hope for them seems lost, they separate, breaking both their hearts。This is an amazing story that proves just how much age is just a number, and how love can triumph over any and all obstacles。 I loved Millie's strength and confidence, and my heart broke for what Zach went through in his life, but he also made me swoon with his honor, thoughtfulness, and his deliciously dirty ways behind closed doors。 He and Millie were so perfect for each other, their chemistry is off the charts, and leaves you breathless!Sebastian York, and Lucy Rivers narrate this captivating story beautifully。 I loved how they nailed these characters so perfectly, making them their own。 Rivers perfectly expressed Millie's growth from someone who was okay with average, to a woman who believed she was worthy of all her dreams and also a bold seductress behind closed doors。 York easily portrayed the complexity that is Zach from the reserved man in the beginning to the caring, thoughtful, loving man he truly was all along。 I also loved his voice for Jackson, especially in one scene that his friendly sarcasm and laughter was absolutely priceless! Zach and Millie's journey is fun, complicated, heartbreaking, secretive and emotionally beautiful, and I loved cheering for their HEA! I also loved all the family and friends who added so much humor, and heart to this story。 I love a great epilogue and this one was so romantic, and swoony, and it made me completely happy! I loved everything about this addictive, beautiful romance! 。。。more

Happy New Year everyone 🎉With the promise to write longer reviews I have to say that Melanie Harlow will always be my soft spot。Her books leave you with this warm, cozy feeling that everything went as they should。 I love books with a happy ending and she always delivers。Tempt had the right amount of fluff and spice and kept me on my toes as our protagonists were trying to decide what they will do with their feelings。 For me it's a 4 star for this specific genre。 Dear Melanie, I will always come Happy New Year everyone 🎉With the promise to write longer reviews I have to say that Melanie Harlow will always be my soft spot。Her books leave you with this warm, cozy feeling that everything went as they should。 I love books with a happy ending and she always delivers。Tempt had the right amount of fluff and spice and kept me on my toes as our protagonists were trying to decide what they will do with their feelings。 For me it's a 4 star for this specific genre。 Dear Melanie, I will always come back for more 🤷 。。。more

So good!!This was so good!! I couldn’t put it down, I finished in less than a day。 The way Millie and Zach met was just perfect!! The spicy scenes were just perfect along with their secret rendezvous。 I had so much hope for them, and I loved the way it all worked together in the end。 This is my first by Melanie Harlow and she definitely has a new fan。

Larcey

I’m definitely a Melanie Harlow fan。 I love all of her books and the Cloverleigh Farms series is amazing。 10/10 would recommend reading this one but not before reading the 8 that come before it。 I think this is book 9。 I only wish there was a series like this with more diverse characters。

i think that’s my personal issue but i didn’t really enjoyed it。 i always disliked small towns romance with their unnecessary drama。 the period between their first interaction and the next one was too long。 i was skipping everything。 mason was so whiny。 just shut up。 🙄🙄he was a big guy , 28 i thought?? so the fuck his feelings came first? i didn’t see anything wrong with millie and zach being together, they were both consenting adults。 so i didn’t see the point of the book altogether。 smut scene i think that’s my personal issue but i didn’t really enjoyed it。 i always disliked small towns romance with their unnecessary drama。 the period between their first interaction and the next one was too long。 i was skipping everything。 mason was so whiny。 just shut up。 🙄🙄he was a big guy , 28 i thought?? so the fuck his feelings came first? i didn’t see anything wrong with millie and zach being together, they were both consenting adults。 so i didn’t see the point of the book altogether。 smut scenes weren’t quite there, in 80% of the time they faded to black。 。。。more

This review is for the audiobook version Ex-boyfriend's dad tropeMillie is plus-sized but doesn't let that interfere with anything she does plus she has confidence。 She feels like she needs to do something different since her last few boyfriends end up marrying the next girl they go out with。 When she's on a business trip, her sister suggests going to the hotel bar to see if she can meet someone。 She ends up meeting a hot older man and spends the night with him。 She can't get him out if her mind This review is for the audiobook version Ex-boyfriend's dad tropeMillie is plus-sized but doesn't let that interfere with anything she does plus she has confidence。 She feels like she needs to do something different since her last few boyfriends end up marrying the next girl they go out with。 When she's on a business trip, her sister suggests going to the hotel bar to see if she can meet someone。 She ends up meeting a hot older man and spends the night with him。 She can't get him out if her mind and he thinks of her , too。 Things get awkward when Zach goes to his son's wedding and finds out that Millie is the ex-girlfriend and wedding planner。 They feel that they can't tell anyone the truth about their relationship and keep meeting in different cities。 I like how Millie decides to follow her dream of opening a bridal shop that caters to plus-sized brides。 Zach is supportive of her, too。 They both can't give each other up but feel that they can't bring their relationship into the open without hurting people。 Will they decide to put their happiness first? I also liked the tie-in with Corinne Michaels' new book。 of course, the narration was perfect with Sebastian York and Lucy Rivers。Edit Review 。。。more

First off, this was my first book by Melanie Harlow。 I’ve seen her books floating around booktok and finally decided to give the one that appealed to me most a chance, granted it wasn’t the first book in the series。 I LOVED this book。 It was the perfect spicy read to me and was also fast pace without being to insta love and I loved that aspect。 I read it only a few hours 😂 I’m a sucker for age gaps especially the ex boyfriends dad ones and this one delivered that dynamic perfectly。 Zach Barret?

A rough and tough daddy that also fits perfectly into a domesticated lifestyle and loves taking care of his woman? Yes please 😍 and I also loved Millie and enjoyed the bridal industry being her career as it’s something I’ve always loved as well and in the fact that she was plus size and was catering her dress tbr inclusive, as a plus size girly myself, it made me feel so much more connected to the character。 Also I loved how fast they could switch from some down right dirty spice and then the next second they’re watching antique roads show。 It just made the book feel realistic while having that sexy swoonyness to it。 I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be reading more stuff by Melanie 💗 。。。more

I 100% couldn't put it down。 This book sucked me in and I had to find out if Millie got her happy ending with Zach。 The internal struggle of both main charachters was well written。 It had a good balance of content and spice。 This book will be in my top January reads for sure this year。 I 100% couldn't put it down。 This book sucked me in and I had to find out if Millie got her happy ending with Zach。 The internal struggle of both main charachters was well written。 It had a good balance of content and spice。 This book will be in my top January reads for sure this year。 。。。more

Double standard This book not only has a double "ick" factor, it has a huge double standard in applying them。 The first "ick" is that Millie, the main female character, is acting as wedding planner to her ex-boyfriend, Mason, and his current girlfriend, who is the next woman he dated/slept with after he and Millie broke up。 Then we find out that the hot older guy that Millie was instantly attracted to and slept with while on a business trip to NYC, is Mason's long lost biologics father, Zach。 Se Double standard This book not only has a double "ick" factor, it has a huge double standard in applying them。 The first "ick" is that Millie, the main female character, is acting as wedding planner to her ex-boyfriend, Mason, and his current girlfriend, who is the next woman he dated/slept with after he and Millie broke up。 Then we find out that the hot older guy that Millie was instantly attracted to and slept with while on a business trip to NYC, is Mason's long lost biologics father, Zach。 Second "ick"。 But somehow it's okay for Mason to move on, but not for Millie。 He can have slept with two of the women in the room, so to speak, but Millie can't have slept with two of the men in the room, even though Mason and Zach are practically strangers to one another。 And I don't get at all why Millie and Zach couldn't just tell Mason the truth that there was a strong attraction between the two of them and they wanted to see where it went。 There was no need to " come。clean " that they'd---one, slept with one another the first night they met, or two, continued to sneak around and sleep with one another。 Mason has absolutely no right to know about or judge the sex life of either his ex-girlfriend or his father。 。。。more
