I kept asking myself why they were attracted to each other. While I did enjoy this book, I wasn’t really feeling the chemistry between Sophie and Phin. Phin has no problem accommodating her, of course. While everybody in Temptation seems to want something from Phin, Sophie only wants sex. What is supposed to be a week long fling doesn’t take long to turn into something more. That doesn’t stop him from wanting her, nor does it stop him from pursing her. Even Phin Tucker, Mayor of Temptation, can’t tempt her to stay in a town that is bringing up all sorts of bad memories.Īs for Phin, he knows Sophie is trouble the moment he lays eyes on her. From the day she arrived and got hit by Temptation’s most vocal citizen to the day she realizes that her sister is shooting porn, Sophie can’t wait until the day she leaves Temptation. What is supposed to be a documentary on a once semi-famous actress has turned into something she doesn’t want to think about. When Sophie travels with her younger sister, Amy, to Temptation, she has no idea what she has gotten into. So I started this book expecting to love like it, which I did. Holly reminded me (more than once) that Bet Me is JC’s best book. Coming down off the high that was Bet Me, you’d think that I’d go into this book w/ high expectations. So after reading Bet Me, I checked my shelves to see if I had any other Jennifer Crusie books. This review was originally published on June 3, 2008.
