Tempt Me With Kisses ended up being a decent read, after a difficult start. For me, it was that the writing was odd and did not flow during the first half of the book (or so). I liked the heroine and thought she presented herself well, even though some key characters were giving her a very difficult time. The hero should have kicked them to the curb, long before he did. The plot was driven by the 'Big Secret' she was keeping, that caused the turmoil in the end. Not as good as the first book-3-3.5 stars ( )

Welsh landowner Caradoc is desperate to save his manor house when Scotswoman Fiona MacDougal appears on his doorstep with an offer he can’t refuse. Marry her, and he’ll acquire her considerable dowry. It would be enough to clear his debts and pay his taxes. How can he turn her down? Never mind that the lovely redhead tempts him with her sensual looks and curvaceous form. Can he do what’s right for his people even knowing they’ll disapprove? Can Fiona earn their regard and quell the whispers about her past? You’ll root for this earnest woman to win Caradoc’s heart and his people’s praise. ( )
