Title: Tempting Fate|
Author: Sara Whitney
Genre: Second Chance Rom Com
Second chances can be twice as hot
Faith Fox grew up rich, but she burned that bridge—and her trust fund along with it—after her parents drove away the only boy she ever loved.
Leo Morales grew up poor, and although he carved out a fulfilling career for himself, he never forgot the humiliation he endured at the hands of Faith Fox’s family.
Then Leo’s offered a job in his hometown, and he finds himself in an unexpected position: he’s now the one with the money Faith needs to keep her non-profit afloat.
The pair reluctantly agree to work together, but their unresolved issues (and their unquenchable lust) keep boiling over—and that’s before they get stuck in the woods with only one tent.
The award-winning Cinnamon Roll Alphas series concludes with Tempting Fate, featuring the playful banter, steamy encounters, and sunny outlook that Sara Whitney’s readers have come to love.
Review:
Though our MCs–and this book–had a bit of a rocky start (Faith in particularly was very prickly, and yikes, their relationship was very antagonistic from page one which initially had me wondering if they *should* get back togewther), by the time I was about a quarter of the way through Ms Whitney ensured through both the story and her characters that I wasn’t going to be able to put this one down until I got to the end.
There were a lot of yikes-I-don’t-see-how-they-can-get-past-this moments as we went along (nicely balanced out with some *very* steamy scenes, which got increasingly less like hate f*cking as we went along–that first one was kind of hard to read because they still disliked each other so intensely) but Ms Whitney knows her craft well and managed to pull together a very satisfying HEA in the end. (I kept trying to come up with ways things would work out once we hit that black moment–and OMG, was it ever black!–but she went a direction I hadn’t guessed, and it worked out brilliantly.)
For those who have read some (or all) of the other series books, a few of their characters play some supporting roles here, but this could absolutely be read as a standalone if needed.
Tempting Fate is the final book in Sara Whitney‘s Cinnamon Roll Alphas, which is a bummer–but her author’s note at the end give me hope, because she promised that the 2 secondary characters here who made me think, hmmm…wouldn’t it be nice if *he* had a story? will star in books in her next series. #readinggoals
