Tempting Tanya: Mature Romance Over 40
Meet Tanya - curvy, stunning, and with a secret big enough to send her ducking for cover from a bona fide loony who’s keen on staking a claim on her. Trust issues? She's got them in spades. That is, until a nearly naked dreamboat crashes her safe haven.
Tanya’s got a knack for stirring up desire like a barista with a latte, and boy, does she make a frothy mix! She casts a spell over Mike, and all without breaking a sweat. Sure, she digs the flirtatious cat-and-mouse game they've got going on, but she’s got her heart locked up tighter than Fort Knox, with a healthy dose of fear as the key.
Imagine Mike's surprise when he strolls out of the shower, wearing nothing but a towel and his best grin, only to come face to face with a pistol-wielding Aphrodite. Kick her out of his digs? Nah. He’s got a gut feeling that she’s running from something real and dangerous.
Protecting people is Mike's bread and butter, and he's darn good at it, with a perfect track record to boot. He's all in to keep Quickdraw - his pet name for the alluring Tanya - safe and sound. And that means putting his growing attraction on ice to keep his eye on the ball.
With his brother Carl's crew as his personal A-team, Mike is hell-bent on keeping Quickdraw under wraps while he figures out who's keen on reenacting the saucy scenes from her stories. The real kicker? Trying to keep his own hands off Tanya after he's had a taste of this forbidden fruit.
This is a sizzling over 40 interracial romance that proves love and excitement definitely aren't reserved for the young'uns!

It’s nice to read about romance after a certain age.
I liked the story. It took me awhile to get over the lack of communication between the main characters but I understand the need for angst. It always hurts when characters are killed but I understand that as well. This was fast paced and contained just enough action to keep me reading.

This book has drama, stalking, hilarity, adventure, tech notes, family loyalty, and romance. I never got bored or distracted throughout the book. Read it with a book club, and you'll love the different responses to each character.

4.75 this was delicious. The man detangled, greased her scalp, and braided her hair!!!! Top book boyfriend in my book. As a black girl we know how monumental that is for us. Beautiful story. I loved it looking for to the next.
