I could not put down this book until I got to the last page. Jax is such a likeable character even when he is being a shallow, egotistical cad. You just know all that ego is hiding a much deeper, compassionate and complex man. Sydney has her own issues and Jax is just the person to bring her out of her comfort zone. It was such a treat being witness to the highs and lows of their budding relationship. I especially enjoyed the 'epilogue' at the end of the book that related to the theater scene earlier in the book from the point of view of Jax. ( )

Tempting Sydney is a very good story, filled with playful banter, friendship and helping one another discover who they are and helping overcome the past.

I was skeptical about reading this story but I am glad I did. It’s very interesting and entertaining. I love Jax’s character, primarily because I could relate to him being closed off and not letting people in. He’s a very fun person, very caring, even when he didn’t know much about Sydney.

Sydney is an organized and controlled woman. She eats chocolate with fork and knife! Yes, people, it goes to that extreme. But Jax enters this woman’s life and starts “tempting” her to get out of her comfort zone and try new things, to really get herself out there.

The conversations these two characters would have had smiling all the time I would read about them. And don’t even get me started with Brynn. She is my favorite character of this story. I really love her and I hope the second book tells her story because it will be FUN to read. ( )
