Too Much Temptation By Lori Foster

Grace Jenkins has had little experience with men feeling too awkward and insecure to free the passionate woman inside her. But that hasn't stopped her from dreaming about Noah Harper. Gorgeous, strong and darkly sexy, his rough edge beneath the polish promises no mercy in the bedroom. When Grace learns Noah's engagement has ended in scandal, she shyly offers him her support and her friendship. But Noah's looking for something extra...
Noah wants Grace badly. He wants to possess those curves that go on forever, to savor her sweet innocence, to take her to the limits of white-hot desire...again and again. What he doesn't want is anything more complicated than that, and he knows Grace is a woman who deserves better. Grace, however, knows exactly what she wants, the kind of ecstasy only Noah can give her. Brazenly, she accepts, and Noah promises to make all her secret fantasies come true...

Thessa's Review:


  Four Stars

He wanted everything that concerned Grace to be his business. He wanted to know that she was safe and happy and that she was…his.

This was such a cute story. Take one very sexy Alpha hero and add a very cute, lovable, and kind heroine and you got a one very enjoyable story. Before you ask, or assume, yes, this is very predictable, but who cares, right? Sometimes you just want to read something for the fun and enjoyment of it without having to worry about what’s about to happen. This is definitely one of those books. No angst. No love triangle. No cheating. This was just a simply delightful read. Plus it didn’t hurt that the steam factor was off the hook either ;)

Noah raised his head and gave her a tender look. She was flushed, damp with perspiration, open and yielding and hot. Sweet, amazing Grace.

Grace is just lovable. She’s no skinny-minnie, nor is she drop dead gorgeous, but she’s no ugly duckling either; she would be classified as cute. However, Grace is kind, sweet, and adorable. Her biggest attribute, at least to me, is that she’s downright loyal. When things start to head south for Noah, her long time crush and her employer’s grandson, she’s immediately at his side, defending him.

Noah must be a cheater. That’s the only reason why he would break off his engagement, right? Hell no. It was his fiancé’s that was caught cheating. However, he offered to keep her indiscretion a secret to maintain her pristine reputation. But keeping this reason a secret has negative backlash. Aside from his brother, Ben, no one believes he’s innocent, that is until Grace shows up at his door.

“I want sex. Hot, wet, grinding sex. I want a woman who’s willing to give me her body, in any way I want it. But until I get everything else squared away, that’s all I want. No commitments. And God only knows how long that’ll take.” ~ Noah Harper

So Noah makes Grace a deal, but the more time they spend together, the closer they become. The lines are getting blurry and both Noah and Grace are trying to keep their feelings in check, but to no avail. Of course the ending was inevitable, but it was just fine with me. Noah and Grace made such an adorable couple. Noah’s protectiveness and possessiveness over Grace was sweet and incredibly hot at the same time. I really enjoyed this story and looking forward to Ben’s story in the near futre.
