Enjoy heart-meltingly beautiful and toe-curlingly sexy romance in Tempted by Love, an emotionally riveting story about a man who has lost it all and carries a torturous secret, a divorced single mother who has everything to lose, and the little girl who helps them heal. Fall in love on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, midnight rendezvous, and the sexy, sharp-witted Steeles. They have a penchant for pranks, a passion for loyalty, and a trunk full of secrets.

In TEMPTED BY LOVE...
Years ago, bestselling author Jack "Jock" Steele lost his girlfriend and baby in a horrific accident that drove a wedge between Jock and his family, keeping him from sharing a devastating secret. An aging philanthropist saved him from the brink of despair, and for a decade Jock cared for his ailing friend who became his family. Now his friend has passed away and left him a fortuneâ??on the condition that he publishes another book. Jock is floundering, unsure how to rebuild the life he'd walked away from, much less find his muse, have another relationship with a woman, or even think about having a family of his own. But he can't get his sweet, sexy new friend, single-mother Daphne Zablonski out of his head, and her adorable toddler must know something he doesn't, because she wraps her tiny fingers around his heart and won't let go.

Daphne has been through the wringer with her ex-husband and doesn't believe true love is in the cards for her. Friends she can handle, but letting a man see her mom bod naked? Especially someone as strikingly handsome and unbelievably sexy as Jock? No, thank you. Besides, she has a toddler to chase after and enough fictional boyfriends to fill her lonely nights. If only her book boyfriends could make her body tingle the way one look from her mysterious neighbor does.

As Jock and Daphne's friendship turns to something too tempting to deny, their lives take an unexpected turn. Can a man who has lost everything find redemption with a woman who has everything to lose? And then there's that secret...

More Steeles at Silver Island are coming soon! Publication order subject to change.

Tempted by Love by Melissa Foster
The Steeles at Silver Island #1

How marvelous to come into a new Melissa Foster series on the very first book! Learning about the island, the main characters of the family and finding out that there are plenty of Steele’s to make this a rich and plentiful group of stories is wonderful!

In book one we meet three people that will profoundly impact one another. Through their growing relationship they will find friendship, a way forward and a future together. Jock Steele will deal with demons that have plagued him for a decade, Daphne will begin to see herself in a new light and Hadley will provide impetus to the story. The begins at Bayside, sets the scene for the move to Steele Island, provides a happy future for the main characters and sets the reader up for book two soon to follow.

What I liked:
* Daphne: loving, kind, fiercely protective, daughter and single mother. She is great at her job with dreams of working in event management. Her ex-husband left her with some battle scars – jock helps her get over them.
* Jock: once carefree and happy, a successful author, member of large loving family, a mischievous twin – until an accident that changed his life. Climbing out of the dark well he has lived in is not easy, but Daphne and Hadley will help.
* Hadley: not quite three, dynamic, loving, gentle and knows what she wants. She wins hearts everywhere she goes.
* The PTSD angle to be overcome and how it is done.
* The relationship between Jock & Daphne and how it grew slowly till it sped ahead.
* The Archer-Jock aspect that needed to be dealt with and how it was resolved
* Emotional growth made throughout the story
* The families and friends…supportive, loving and there for one another
* Knowing there is another book in the series to look forward to.

What I didn’t like:
* Hmmm…there were some losses and heartaches but without them the story would not have had the depth and emotion so…can’t say I wish they had not happened.

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in the series? Definitely

Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.

Theirs was such a beautiful story to be told, their love felt so right and so real that it really moved me, and still does. Jock is in a heartbreaking dilemma of needing to let go of the past demons to enjoy the feelings he is learning to have for Daphne. When something feels really right you throw caution to the wind and go further than you every thought you could, to do whatever it takes to make it happen and that's exactly what happens with Jock. Daphne, a devoted single mom, doesn't believe she can possibly be beautiful in anyone's eyes but Jock is determined to make her believe she is the most precious person on earth. Swoon!

I absolutely loved the banter between them, full of innuendos, and how they both felt so nervous not knowing how far to stray from friendly banter to something far more real. Melissa had me feeling every part of their emotion, the happy and the sad, they were so perfect together that it flew off the pages and embraced me as I read.

A great introduction to the new series and a new bunch of loveable characters to enjoy who amplified the cool, fun, welcoming vibe that the Bayside gang bring to a story. There's no forgetting the star of the show, adorable little Hadley, oh my, oh my, oh my, this little three year old completely stole my heart, she melted me everytime she called Jock 'Dock' and when she spent time with our Bayside canine Cosmos!

I honestly found myself smiling and laughing throughout the book, it was such an uplifting read. But then there was 'that' tension in the story ;-), which I actually found myself feeling really excited about, knowing that it would only be overcome by hitting the problem head on.

The impact from part of this story (I'm not putting in a spoiler sorry!!) was immense, it threw me off guard and took me a few moments to get back on track. This was such a moving romance with hard edges of life's problems to tackle, but once they were removed the full softness and beauty shone through and the glow actually stays with you even after you've finished.
