Book Blurb:
Myles Donovan may be a trust fund, millionaire real estate developer, but his body still bends to the stress of his past just like everybody else. Now, the pressure of opening an equestrian resort in the small mountain town of Temptation combined with the clock ticking on his first committed relationship, is starting to take its toll physically and mentally. And eventually he finds himself circling back to the darkest moments of his life.
Hair stylist Gemma Taylor has been in a healthy—albeit long distance—relationship with the sexy and oftentimes brooding Myles, for the past six months. She’s elated that all is going well until a random act of vandalism closes her shop in Washington D.C. and sends her home. Temptation boasts a serene lifestyle which some of her siblings are enjoying but brings sultry passionate nights for Gemma and Myles. Has fate brought her back to her hometown to show her what happy ever after could look like?
Or will Myles and Gemma both realize their past was never far behind, as old wounds threaten the only happiness either of them has ever known?

Review:
Gemma and Myles really have alot of emotional baggage to work through and trying to have a relationship at the same time seems to be a bit overwhelming, especially for Myles.
This story is insightful in that falling in love is not all roses and rainbows. Things from our childhood really affect how we view relationships in our adulthood. Add to that being somewhat famous, has put an extra layer of anxiety on finding that true love.
Gemma knows what she wants, but doesn’t trust herself to actually go and get it. Myles is so afraid of putting himself out there emotionally that he’s having a hard time dealing with the emotions that Gemma is evoking in him.
There also another (more sinister) element to the story that I won’t spoil, but let’s just say it brings our the protective nature in Myles.
Really enjoyed Gemma and Myles’ love story.
