You cant help but love these two and their story and, of course, the sparks between them set the page on fire! Another new author for me! I have had some of his previous books on my TBR list and now I really have to catch up!

Temptation is the story of Wyatt and Melina.
  Childhood friends, girlfriend's little sister, School age unrequited love.   It's all that and so much more,

This story starts with chaos, of families intermingling, laughter and love,   Sometimes it's just too much for Melina, she longs for the quiet,   

Wyatt has always understood this and his uncanny ability to bring Melina out of her shell is beautiful,

I devoured this book overnight, I couldn't put it down, I was charmed, I laughed at the secondary characters and I absolutely swooned over the romance between Wyatt and Melina,

I have a great respect for the male romance author! They are boldly going into a realm that is female driven and can be a bit biased.
Which I think is a shame,   I loved the alternate POV's in this story with Mr, Hawkins really bring Melina to life in an absolutely perfect way!

Well done Mr, Hawkins, you have yourself another fan! I cannot wait to read what you come out with next and I will be moving your previous books to the front of my TBR list!

With each story, JDs writing gets better and better.
He was already a fantastic writer and story teller, its just off the charts now, The descriptions were so realistic and on point, it made me feel like I was actually there, I fell in absolute love with Wyatt and Melina, So much so that, I devoured this book, and want more, I loved the cameo by Teo and Ash from Love and Ink! Its great to catch up with them and the Mandala gang,
So are we going to see this turn into a series Id love to see Winnie, Cody, Aiden, and Beccas story, Hands down JD Hawkins best book to date! A sweet, sexy lifelong friends to lovers romance that flowed perfectly from beginning to end,

I received an ARC from the author for voluntary review This is a friends to lovers romance, Their families have known each other for many years, and she's always had a crush on him, but he dated her older sister, so she knew nothing would ever come of it.
Yet he knew her and understood her more than anyone else, They've always had a special sort of relationship, She's pretty fresh out of college and struggling to make a career of her dream to be a photographer, She's good, but lacks the selfconfidence to really push her work, She's also a bit shy and introverted, which doesn't help get her work seen, She's smart, but hides behind her camera, He's been living in New York gaining success and notoriety in the PR business, He likes his cars fast and women faster, That is until he realizes he doesn't feel fulfilled and decides to take a job back home, His parents failed marriage left him not wanting to commit to anyone for fear of the pain when it ends, Can this girl with a secret crush get him to change his stance on relationships He may have a playboy reputation, but he is a good guy at heart.
He wants to see the people in his life happy, I liked that despite his NY reputation, he doesn't act like some cocky player,

There is a sweetness about this story and the characters in it, Of course it is hot as well! The side characters bring along plenty of laughs, And if you've read Love amp Ink, you will see a couple familiar faces, It's well written and reads quickly and easily, Hard to put down. It alternates between POVs. There are some pretty steamy scenes deeming this a read for the mature folks,

Fabulous friends to lovers story! I'd say this is Mr Hawkins best work yet and I've loved all of his books! The characters were well developed and I easily fell for them right from the start.
Wyatt is a big time consultant in New York who decides it's time to move back home to California where he has roots, He had always had special feelings for Melina, a family friend, Little does he realize but she had been crushing on him for years, As the story progresses, Wyatt and Melina end up working together at her dead end job, He's in a difficult position, between Melina and her boss, They have incredible chemistry and find it's impossible to fight, You'll love the steamy scenes that are masterfully written by Mr Hawkins, This book has all the feels, some twists and such wonderful characters you won't soon forget!! Loved it and can't wait for more!! Temptation: A thing or course of action that attracts or tempts

If the cover isnt enough to tempt you wait till you get to the story!
The synonyms are perfect for this book!
Yes I was enticed, seduced and pulled right in.


There is a quality that Mr, Hawkins gives
us with each new book, This quality being that when your dive into reading, you are completely satisfied starting from the beginning to the end,
The words that are written show his talent of creating the characters to be lifelike and vulnerable to the circumstances that they are fighting for or against.


Wyatt and Melina are great friends in their youth and lose their connection, only to gain in back together as adults still strong as ever, Wyatt has this amazing dedication to get Melina to be the women he knows she can be to gain strength and confidence through her shyness, Wyatt in his youth goes through something that touches a lot of families these days, It affects him on a level that
changes the course of his adult life,

Through the journey these two embark through, the commitment of friendship, and love they have for each other, their determination shines through the words of this story.


I also need to mention the secondary characters, their families and friends,
An awesome bunch of people, each could have their own story,

My thanks and gratitude for a few hours to escape with this book, JD, Its humor, real life circumstances,some very sexy scenes, and a HEA is something that we all deserve! Temptation is a wonderfully written friend to lovers romance that is by one of my favorite male authors, J.
D. Hawkins. Hawkins has this niche with the way that he writes that brings out personalities, emotions, and a setting in a scene that draws me in as a reader.


In Temptation we have lifelong friends Wyatt Hyde and Melinda Stapleton whose families have grown up together, Memories, feelings, and friendship make coming home and leaving the big city life behind an easy decision for Wyatt, He's ready to take on a new challenge when it comes to work and in a relationship, Wyatt holds onto an old scar that could destroy any chances when it comes to fully commit to loving someone, Wyatt definitely knows his way around romance and bringing a woman to her knees, The only woman he wants is the one he never stopped thinking about,

Melinda is that shy character that hides behind a camera, She's funny, talented and somehow doesn't see how beautiful she is, I love the connection she has with Wyatt, he brings out the best in her, Giving in to the temptation of her childhood crush maybe more than she ever expected,

I loved everything about this story, the secondary characters are all deserving of their own story to tell, I couldn't help but smile when reacquainted with past characters, Wholly Smokes! The sexual chemistry is off the charts, . . HOT. I recommend that you get lost in this story of a bond between families, friends and falling in love,

Star Must Read! I always think with an author I love to read how can they top the previous one, because it was so, so good!
Guess what JD Hawkins did it again with Temptation.
The story of Wyatt and Melina is amazing, This friends to lovers story Amazing! Once you start reading, you get sucked in and will probably want to punch the person who dared to interrupt your reading.
I love Wyatt and I absolutely adore Melina, J. D. Hawkins Temptation is a swoonworthy friendstolovers story that is emotionally satisfying, heartwarmingly romantic and fanyourselfworthy hot, Melinas and Wyatts families have been close for most of their lives, and theyve always been loyal friends who share a special connection, Wyatt has lived on the other side of the country for the past eight years, but hes back home and considering staying permanently, Through a twist of fate, he and Melina are working together, and their friendship now simmers with attraction and the potential for more, Being around each other every day at the office fans the flames of attraction, and their longing for each other is downright palpable, Theyre both a little nervous about taking the leap from friends to lovers, and its a feelgood, breathtaking experience when they do, Temptation has a lot of heart and a whole lot of sexy,
