Blog Tour & Review: Temptation on Ocean Drive

 

Temptation on Ocean Drive, A heart-stirring novel of unrequited love and second chances by New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst is live!

Young widow Bella Sunshine-Caldwell is focused only on raising her daughter and running the family business, Sunshine Bridal. There’s no time for romance—especially with her fellow wedding planner, Gabe, whom she’s growing increasingly attracted to. He’s too enterprising to stay in Cape May for long, anyway. And too tall, dark, and handsome to be anything but a heartbreaker.

Every woman in town has her sights on Gabe Garcia. The only woman he has eyes for doesn’t seem interested. All he wants is to fall in love, be a father, and settle down. As he and Bella work together on a magical winter wedding, the distance between them closes, the nights grow warmer, and Bella might be seeing Gabe for who he really is: a man worth the effort.

But all it takes is a single rumor for these two hearts’ fragile love story to shatter. And now the happy ending Bella and Gabe hoped for is something they’re going to have to fight for.

Excerpt

He repeated the question. “I need to know. Why was it easier not to believe me?”

This time, she didn’t hesitate. “Because then I could pretend you weren’t the man I really wanted.”

“And do you? Want me?”

She jerked back. Her tongue slipped out to wet her bottom lip. Her voice was barely a whisper. “Yes.”

He muttered a curse. Then leaned forward, his hand cupping her chin. “I want to kiss you, Bella. I’ve been wanting to kiss you forever, but I need to know it’s okay.”

She stared at him, pupils dilated, ragged breaths panting from her lips, and he knew this moment would be carved out in his mind—the first time he saw her face reflect her open want for him. She gave a tiny nod.

He moved closer. His lips stopped an inch from hers. “No. You need to say it.”

“Yes. Kiss me, Gabe.”

His mouth covered hers.



I love single parent tropes and this author is a one click for me. So there you  go. Perfect reading! Let's add in the awesomeness that is Gabe Garcia and this book will be a must read for you as well. 

Bella and her daughter work int he family wedding planning business.  Gabe is their employee and he is great at his job.  This whole premise reads like a made for TV movie.  I could see it on the Halmark channel for sure. The chemistry between the two of them is off the charts but Bella spens much of her time ignoring. Feeling she isn't desiring to be happy again. 

I love Gabe's persistence and most important his brutal honesty.  It is what Bella needed to hear. Basically, piss or get off the pot. It provides the tension in the story but there are so many wonderful parts in between. It was a joy to meet these two and live in their world for awhile.
