Release Blitz: Tempting Promises: Corinne Michaels
Tempting Promises
Corinne Michaels
What’s the worst thing you could do when you’re stranded in the woods with your rival? Sleep with him. That’s what.
Not only is Rowan Whitlock my sister’s ex, but we’re both vying for the contract that would save my family farm.
So why did it have to be Rowan who came to the rescue after I fell on a remote hiking trail? When the weather turned unexpectedly, we were forced to find shelter and ride out the storm. Only that wasn’t the only thing I ended up riding.
We promise ourselves what happens at the cabin stays at the cabin, but when we get back to Sugarloaf, it’s impossible to stay away from him. Those blue eyes captivate me, his strong body comforts me, and he makes me feel beautiful.
Which is crazy, right?
If only my stupid head would listen and stop this before my heart gets involved, but I keep going back because I’m already in too deep.

If only my stupid head would listen and stop this before my heart gets involved, but I keep going back because I’m already in too deep.
I should’ve known that the temptation wasn’t worth the risk because when it all falls apart, our promises are broken, and I’m afraid my heart will never recover.
Rowan Whitlock and Charlotte Sullivan are enemies. Charlotte not only hates him due to his past history with her sister, but they also compete on everything related to their adjoining farms. They have antagonistic banter, are fiercely competitive, and love to rile each other up. He is anti-relationship due to things he has seen in the past and never sees himself having a real relationship or family.
Charlotte is struggling to manage her farm with little support. She is smart, sassy, and headstrong. She would love to have a partner and be able to save her farm for generations to come. Rowan is in the process of expanding his farm and seems to keep taking what she needs as well. But now they are both vying for the same contract that they both really need so the stakes are even higher.
When a weekend away with friends turns into something much different than expected. They are thrust into a forced proximity situation that heats up quickly in ways they never expected. All of that antagonism acts as foreplay and their chemistry is as hot as the fire they are using to keep warm. And it is only supposed to be a secret, short fling. But once the heat has been unleashed, they find it hard to put it back in a bottle.
But as far as everyone in their small town knows these two hate each other. And some people close to them want it to stay that way. Charlotte has abandonment and trust issues and is used to people leaving her. And she really needs the contract. Rowan needs the contract too, but has also found empathy and concern that he never expected.
This is a fiery and frisky, presumed bad boy next door, sleeping with the enemy, off-limits romance riding that thin line between love and hate. It is fun seeing a die-hard commitment-phobe start to catch feels and become more understanding and protective. And I appreciated that Charlotte is independent and strong and does not want to take any charity. She is also afraid to trust and pushes people away to avoid disappointment. Together they are fire and challenge each other, but they also find themselves sharing more of their lives and being more vulnerable. And they surprise themselves and each other with who they really are underneath their armor and what they have the potential to become together.
It brings back all of the Whitlock siblings and families. I am looking forward to Brynlee's book.

Forbidden Hearts
(Whitlock Family #1)
(Whitlock Family #1)
First rule of being a nanny? Don’t fall for the single dad, even if he is smoking hot.
But that’s exactly what happens when grumpy small-town sheriff Asher Whitlock reluctantly hires me to take care of his daughter for the summer. Neither of us is thrilled with the arrangement, but he’s desperate for help, and I need the money for grad school this fall.
All we need to do is keep our distance and remain professional . . . turns out, that’s easier said than done.
Instead of focusing on my future, all I see is the strong jawline, crystal-blue eyes, and rock-hard body right in front of me. We try to resist each other, but we end up crossing every line until I’m in his bed.
I tell myself it’s just this once.
Okay, twice.
All right, every night.
But it’s got to end–he’s fourteen years older than me, with a kid and a stressful job. Have I mentioned my dad is his boss? Then there’s the past I’m trying to forget. Secrets aren’t easy to keep and mine are getting too big to hide.
Walking away is never simple but when I do, I can’t look back.
Even if it means leaving behind the man I was never meant to love.

What could possibly go wrong fake dating the gorgeous single dad in a small town?
The answer, you fall for him.
It started out perfect. Grady Whitlock needed a plus one for his business meetings, and I needed a date for a wedding.
We had a plan. It was a good one.
Until it wasn’t.
I was not supposed to have feelings for him. I was not going to let my heart race when his soulful blue eyes stared into mine. No way should I have noticed his smile or the dimple on his right cheek or his strong arms when he held me close. I especially wasn’t going to melt when I saw him play with my daughter.
Most of all I was not going to sleep with him.
Nope. None of that was supposed to happen, but it does.
Now I find myself dreaming of him every night. Wishing we were really a couple because the way he kisses me doesn’t feel as if it’s pretend.
But we’ve both watched our dreams shatter, and I can’t handle another broken heart.
