Parker Wells Jr is determined to do right in life both personally and professionally. He's the complete opposite to his ruthless father and wants to prove it when it comes to the company he now runs. However, when he meets Kennedi, he finds himself torn between personal and business, especially when he discovers her connection to him.

This story was well-written, flowed nicely and had a very engrossing plot that started off with a very big bang literally because of Kennedi crashing into Parker's vehicle. I also liked the strong characters and the well-built back stories they had that made Parker want to be a bigger and better man determined to prove himself both personally and professionally. While Kennedi, she was a very delightful character that has every reason to be leery of the hero. He's the man that could take everything away from her aunt.

Overall, Ms. Wright delivered a wonderful read that was filled with plenty of emotion and made me feel for the characters because of their pasts and everything they go through to be together. Kennedi and Parker are perfect for each other and I enjoyed how charming Parker could be in showing Kennedi that she was the right woman for him. Lastly, I can't wait to read more books by Ms. Wright.

There's something about the way that Elle Wright creates a setting that is simply magical. And I'm not just talking about Wellspring, but also the homes and family units that make up the community there. Parker's father may be in a coma, but his nefarious schemes hover like a shadow over his children, and it's that close friendship and bond between Parker and his family and friends that shines light through the clouds. But it's Kennedi's family I loved most. Her family history and the connection between them lifted me up. Those connections are what we need when we're feeling down and this more than made me smile.

Then there's the relationship between the two of them which instantly flares with attraction, followed by frustration when business puts them at odds. One of my favourite romance tropes, skilfully executed in Wright's hands. The sparks between the two main characters fly and I found myself fully rooting for them both. Kennedi is smart as hell and the kind of friend I'd like to go for a drink with, and I liked the way Parker both respected and challenged her. A gorgeous romance from an author who is heading straight on to my auto-buy list.

In this book, we meet Parker who is caught up in trying to restore his family's honor and good name after his nasty father trampled on every good moral he found and Kennedi (who I think maybe a brilliant lawyer) also going through her issues.

I don't usually give negative feedback but I was asked for an honest opinion - and that's all it is - my opinion -I did not enjoy it as much as I thought i would. When I read the blurb, I was fist pumping all the way but I started the book and found myself skipping through some of the dialogue. I didn't hate the book, I was just not excited about it. I forced myself to complete it to write the review.

Sorry - it just didn't hold me

Did not enjoy the story, it was not engaging and I ended up skipping pages just to finish. Predictable, uninteresting characters.

Ok, so the Wells patriarch is definitely a good mix of Stefano DiMera from Days of Our Lives and Victor Newman from Young and the Restless. I have a love/hate relationship with a good soap opera villain dad, so I’m a fan. Look up these characters if you’re not familiar with soap operas.

Enticed by You is the follow-up to the aforementioned novel and features the eldest Wells sibling, Parker. Parker is interim CEO of the Wellsprings Water Corp and trying to sort out the tangled mess his father has left behind in wake of his condition. In addition to the many company problems, there are quite a few familial issues that he has to also contend with.

Kennedi Robinson is a recently divorced attorney who makes her way back to her hometown of Wellspring for some much-needed rest and relaxation. On her way in town, she rear ends Parker’s vehicle. While there is no damage to his vehicle, he is initially annoyed by the interruption to his already full schedule. That is until he gets a glimpse at Kennedi. Now I don’t know if I would call it ‘love at first sight’ but she definitely had his attention and that is more than most women have had from him in a long time.

Kennedi and Parker soon start a relationship but they have a lot of obstacles in their way. Parker has many dust-ups with the company, one even involving Kennedi’s family company. In addition to that, Kennedi had a lot of unresolved issues from her previous marriage and made things unnecessarily hard for Parker at times. There were a few times where I became annoyed with her because she did not let Parker explain anything and jumped to the wrong conclusions. He had an enormous amount of patience with her though as she worked through her issues.


Admittedly, I liked the mystery and scandal surrounding the Wells family and company a bit more than the romance. Nonetheless, this was a solid addition to the Wellspring series and I’m interested in the next installment featuring the elusive brother, Bryson.

Enticed by You by Elle Wright is book Two in the Wellspring Series. This is the story of Parker Wells, Jr and Kennedi Robinson. I haven't yet read the previous book, so for me this was a standalone book.
While Parker father is in a coma he works to fix some wrongs his father set in motion while working at their company Wellsprings Water Corp. Along with the business side hopefully some family issue can be smoothed over. What he didn't plan on was a crash into Kennedi who is in town visiting her Aunt along with some other business.
I enjoyed reading their story and seeing how they worked things out...loved it!

Loved, loved, Loved the story of Parker and Kenndi. Parker is knee deep in attempting to clean up the shenanigans of his comatose father and the last things he has time for is romance. That is until he is rear-ended by beautiful Kenndi. Kennedi is running from work stress and a failed marriage she's coming home to rest and check in on her aunt. Her heart is cold towards romance but Parker may be the man holding the key. you have to read it for yourself to see how things turn out. Great read.

"Enticed by You" is my first book by Elle Wright and will definitely not be the last one. The story of Parker and Kennedi begins with a car accident and evolves into love (but with a few "bumps on the road"). I like the whole story and the characters. I would recommend this book to anybody who is looking for light reading and HEA. This book will give it to you.

The past year has been stressful for both main characters. Parker Wells Jr., has become interim CEO while his father is in a coma. Kennedi Robinson has just written her last spousal support check. Convinced to take a vacation, Kennedi returns to her hometown of Wells Springs.
Both hero and heroine are at odds because of a business deal. That opposition really is very very minimal in the story. This is book 2 in a series and I do believe there are more corporate shenanigans at Wells Springs Water Corp.. Instead you have two characters who are coming to terms with events from their pasts. The two meet. and the chemistry is very good.

Well written, interesting story

Enticed By You is the first book I've read by Elle Wright and I thought it was a really solid read. I hadn't realized it was book 2 in the Wellspring series and it read well as a stand alone.
I thought the characters were well developed and believable.
Kennedi and Parker were well matched and I enjoyed their somewhat bumpy journey to their HEA. The plot had a few twists and turns which kept my interest. An extra bonus was having grown up in Michigan I loved the local references.
I'm definitely interested in reading more books in this series.
I received an advance reader copy from Netgalley.

He's trying to live down his father's reputation. Parker Wells is sick of being compared to his ruthless father. Looking right years of wrong, he sets out to mend fences Both personally and professionally. He has much to make up for and tough audience to convence. Doing the right thing has never seemed so complicated. When he Kennedi Robinson enters the equation with her big city ideas and a grudge to settle, circumstances become even more difficult. When it comes to following your heart, nothing ever proves easy. Can two hearts leave their pride at the door and take a risk on forever? Enticed By You is tale of redemption, sacrifice and hope that reminded me that looks may be deceiving, but emotions never lie.

Enticed by you is the second book in the Wellspring series. Parker Wells Jr. interim CEO of Wellsprings Water Corp. is rear ended by attorney Kennedi Robinson during her visit to Wellspring. Even though his vehicle is not hurt his heart maybe, Parker is definitely smitten with the stranger that just collided into his truck. Kennedi Travels to Wellspring for a visit with her aunt., little does she know that her first day in town will change her life forever.

The story of Parker and Kennedi is proves that love at first sight does really exist, and it can happen if you open your heart and believe. I loved the chemistry between these two and enjoyed the way Kennedi tried to play hard to get. I loved the way the emotions were showed through the book with Kennedi as she worked through her issues. I am patiently waiting on the next installment of the series.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC. Parker and Kennedi's story was the first in the Wellspring Series. Parker has taken over his father's company and he has to rebuild his father's bad reputation. Kennedi is in town taking a much-needed break. Neither one knew when they met by accident that love would follow. An intriguing read. I reallllyyy enjoyed the excerpt for book 2. Looking forward to it.

Enticed by You allows us to catch up with the Wells family and the rest of Wellspring. Enticed by You picks up where Touched by You left off. Parker Wells, Jr. and his sister are dealing with the after the math of their father's shady business deals. He has a lot riding on his shoulders. He does not have time to deal with all the "small" things in life that pop up.

Kennedi Robinson is from Wellspring but moved away in the middle of her childhood. After going through a bad breakup/divorce, she is in need of a vacation. She decides to head home and visit with her aunt. Before she can make it to her aunt's house, she crashes into Parker Wells, Jr.

What happens when two lawyers "collide"? Will there be sparks or will there be fire? Come journey through Wellspring.

More like a 3.5 star. I liked, Enticed By You. But had to skim some of it. There were a lot of times where things were explained unnecessarily I felt.

Parker Wells, Jr. has plans for his company, he will run it unlike his father. Parker rushed in to replace his father, when he became ill and unable to continue his job.

Corporate attorney Kennedi was heading to aunts for a little R&R when she runs into Parker, and from there it turns into a Hot, sexy& sweet story.

This is an easy read, I love Parker and Kennedi. The story line was easy to follow and had me not wanting to stop reading. I love how Ella Wright writes her stories..so captivating! A Must Read!!

This is my first time reading this author and this looks like it might be a series but I did not like it. I felt that I was told things rather than experienced them. I just did not like the way the story was told. Both characters were okay I just didnt love them and I felt very disconnected from the story.

Kennedi is in town visiting her aunt and finds out her aunt wants to sell a family property. Parker wants to buy it but he would not own it, his father would and everyone in town knows his dad is corrupt. On the other hand his dad is in a coma, so if he dies the company is his.

As I said I did not like it and I did not like characters. I really hate saying that because I try and find things about a story I like but I just didn't like this one.

This story just wasn’t for me, though it was well written I just couldn’t seem to relate to either of the main characters.

Parker doesn't ask he just tells, “Aactually, I’m not,” he told them. “Kennedi, if you can get your stuff? I’m taking you out.” Man oh man did I like this book, I loved Parker the man just had an easy-going temperment.
