TENDER TEMPTATION
Kaylene Winter
Release Date: October 3
Tender Temptation is a scorching tale of age-gap, insta-forbidden-love, hidden identities, coming of age, and second chances.
I’m a master at rebuilding structures, yet my own life is a constant work in progress. As the middle brother in a family of superstars, I've battled alcohol addiction and shoulder the hefty challenge of taking over the family business.
My world makes a seismic shift when I fall hard for Ivy Bright, a vibrant, enigmatic firecracker whose captivating energy makes me feel invincible.
Ivy is more than just a spark in my shadowed world—she’s a blaze. Her luminous presence ignites a clandestine desire in me that I can't resist. But Ivy harbors deep secrets and a tragic past that keeps her trapped in a life she never chose. Despite our undeniable chemistry, her decision to conceal her age and identity backfires spectacularly, threatening to unravel both our hearts.
Years later, will our rekindled passion withstand buried secrets
that come to light, or will the truths of our past push us apart forever?

After reading FEARLESS and meeting Connor McLoughlin and all of his brothers, I hoped they would get their HEAs at some point, and I am thrilled to see that they finally do. TENDER TEMPTATION is the first book in the CHARMING IRISH SERIES that follows the McLoughlin Brothers. This is Cillian's story.
Cillian McLoughlin is the CEO of McLoughlin Construction. He works hard during the day, and in the evening, he goes to Kel's, a local pub, to have a couple of beers before heading home. This is where he meets Ivy when she decides to go out and celebrate her birthday for the first time in years. You see, Ivy had a brother who died on her birthday years earlier, and ever since, her family didn't acknowledge the day, so she decided since her parents were out of the country, she was taking her birthday back and celebrating with a drink. Well, that drink turned into a whole lot more.
I enjoyed Cillian and Ivy's story. From the moment they met, you can tell they were meant for one another. Their relationship has them in a tiny bubble for most of the summer, and their focus is solely on them until it bursts and all hell breaks loose. I guess this is a good time to tell you about some of the content warnings, age gap of fourteen years, she hides the fact that she is the daughter of a billionaire, he has a tiny issue with drinking on the daily when they meet but it gets a whole lot worse after the bubble bursts, there is also verbal and emotional abuse within her family. I am pointing these out because they can be triggering for some readers, and they are not easily found. I will say that Kaylene Winter did a great job handling each with care, as I have seen her do in prior books. She doesn't hold back from hitting the complicated issues but does it gracefully.
This is a second chance at Love, so while we see their relationship for the first time, we also witness what happens after they break up and their glorious reunion. I will admit that there were a couple of times I had to put the book down and walk away for a while because I was getting emotional over it, but that's a credit to the author's writing. She had me feeling as if I was right there watching it all unfold and either loving or hating things as they happened.
I recommend this book to readers who enjoy STEAMY Contemporary Romance, Insta-Love Romance, Age Gap Romance, Hidden Identity Romance, forbidden Romance, Second-Chance Romance, or Large Family Romance.
Happy Reading!!!
