*****

“Taylor Rollins barges into her employer’s office and tosses a pink slip on his desk and asks him to explain why she’s been terminated. Nick Lanagan, CEO of Lanagan Associates, is surprised that Taylor was hired and fired in three weeks’ time but, he offers her a job—as his fake fiancé!
Tempted by Taylor is a sweet romance filled with fabulous characters, a bit of business intrigue and is set in Colorado. Taylor accepts Nick’s job offer in order to pay down her late father’s gambling debts. Nick assumes that Taylor has racked up her credit cards and needs the money to pay them down.
Cindy Kirk does a fabulous job weaving in social and spiritual elements in this story. Loved the company picnic scenes and the pre-marital counseling sessions-they enabled Nick and Taylor to get to know each other. I loved that the couple’s romance developed slowly and that both characters learned to trust each other. Taylor’s grandparents provided her with an example of a loving relationship; the author does a fabulous job bringing Nick into the Rollins family social circle. Nick accepts Taylor no sex before marriage rule but doesn’t like it. I loved reading this couples journey. It was very relatable. Although there was sexual chemistry between the couple; there were several misunderstandings and arguments between them. It took time for Nick to acknowledge that Taylor’s faith and family came first; not business.
Cindy Kirk creates memorable characters. Loved Taylor’s grandparents, Kaye and Bill Rollins, Claire, Nick’s ex-girlfriend and Nick’s friend and attorney Erik. Each character contributed to the storyline. I can’t wait to see who captures Claire’s heart-she was a fascinating character. The ending of the novel has several surprises. Loved the last chapter—the perfect ending for this couple.
If you are looking for a sweet romance filled with great characters, Tempted by Taylor is the perfect read for you! This book was very sweet.”
