BOOK SUMMARY
TEMPTATION
NEVER TASTED SO SWEET...
When life hands lemons to Beth
Beverley, she makes mouthwatering lemon squares. Mostly because they're coveted
by the sexy single dad who owns Belmont's most popular coffee shop. But that's
where her crush on Griffin has to end. Her sweet treats are selling like crazy
cakes in his shop, and she doesn't mix business with pleasure. Too bad his
sinful smile has her flirting with the idea of forever.
Griffin Hall definitely needs to keep
his eyes--and his hands--off Beth. Since he's traded in late-night gigs and
partying for bedtime stories with his little girl in his arms, he doesn't have
time for anything else. So why does Beth's big heart and easy way with his
daughter make him finally feel alive again? But there's a little secret Beth
doesn't know, something he can't bear to tell her . . .

EXCERPT
He lifted a
few containers out of a picnic basket and opened them on the blanket. “But you
remind me of this town in Italy. I know that seems like a weird thing to say,
that you remind me of a town. But it’s full of all these paths that take you to
completely unexpected places. Everywhere you turn, someone is trying to feed
you. Everyone smiles all the time, and they have a little street theater with
puppets that the kids gather around to watch.”
He lifted his
eyes to her and grinned. “If you were a place, Beth, you would be this place.
We played a concert in a city nearby, but we had a day off and I explored the
town by myself. The whole time I kept thinking how great it would be to share
it with someone. The other night it came to me: I had to have lunch with you in
Urbino.”
Her breath
caught. Wow.
He gestured
to the food he’d laid out on the blanket. Olives, figs, cheese, bread, dried
fruit. Her mouth watered just looking at it. “So here you go. Lunch in Urbino.”
Her eyes
stung and she blinked hard. This could not be happening. This could not be
real.
“Wow.”
The corners
of his mouth dropped and his eyebrows furrowed. “Do you like it?” He dropped
his gaze to his lap, where his hands fidgeted. “Is it too much?”
She threw
herself at him, covering his face with kisses, not caring if she knocked
anything over. “It’s the most incredible thing anyone has ever done for me.”
His fingers
closed around her waist and he tugged her into his lap. He pressed his mouth to
hers and used the tip of his tongue to trace the seam of her lips.
A
high-pitched whistle pierced the air. She raised her head and found a group of
teenage boys giving them the thumbs-up.
Her face
heated and she crawled back to her spot on the other side of the blanket.
She reached
for the container of olives and spooned a few onto her plate. “I feel like I
should warn you that dessert is entirely off-theme.”
He raised an
eyebrow and popped a fig into his mouth. “Oh yeah?”
She nodded.
“Oh yeah.”
Then she
reached for the plastic bag in her purse and plopped it onto the blanket, so
that one of the cookies was faceup inside the package.
He leaned
toward it, his eyes narrowing. “What kind of cookie is that?”
She’d iced
them pink and then used magenta piping to create little curlicues. “Pig butt.”
His gaze
jerked to hers and he blinked a few times. “A pig butt cookie?”
The tickle in
her throat became too much, she burst into giggles. “Just the decoration, not
the flavoring. I found them on Pinterest. Nailed it, right?”
He threw his
head back and laughed. “Yup. You nailed it. That is most definitely a pig’s
ass. Martha Stewart, the person not the van, would be impressed.”
With a
giggle, she tipped her head back to let the sunshine warm her face.
It was as
near to perfect as a date could be.
CAT'S REVIEW
"The Family Man" by Kelly Eadon is a lovely story that is heartwarming and fun. I enjoyed our main characters - Griffin and Beth. Griffin is a single dad trying so hard to be "the best dad". Beth is fun! She dabbles in a little bit of everything but all that makes her happy and adored by all. Together they create magic! Mabel is adorable and the host of secondary characters all have their charms too. The story is an easy one to follow and had me feeling a range of emotion. I was smiling often but, at times, sniffling too. Ms. Eadon does a wonderful job of portraying the emotions of not just uplifting love but profound heartbreak too. At times, I was hoping to delve a bit more into their dates and time spent together as well as some of their backgrounds. However, there is enough given for the reader to get to know each character and feel the connection and need for each other. The story moves a great pace and, being such an entertaining read, I finished it easily in one sitting. For a story that is uplifting, heartwarming and all around fun, don't miss this latest one by Ms. Eadon. (received copy for honest review)
