A fake engagement, a fake wedding, strangers to lovers, secret identities, crime, blackmail, and a sworn oath. Who will fall first? With romance, suspense, and a whole lot of sizzle scorches in this adventure that makes it a great beach read.

Sworn to protect his country Lucas Bendsten, Head of the Silver Knights is about to discover that the one person he can't have will be his undoing.

Ruby Macintosh is connected to a man that threatens to destroy her family and country. Will Lucas be able to save her and those she loves?

In a world where trust is paramount, will the protector be able to finally find love? While this is the second book in the Tempt Me series, it can be enjoyed as a standalone.

I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. It has taken me a very long time to read this book. I had started it a long time ago but wasn’t really drawn in. However, I decided to finally give it a shot. I actually loved this. The story finally pulled me in and I ended up shedding some tears but it was worth it give it a shot.

This was a very exciting and steam read! Well-written, complex plot. Wonderfully hot sex scenes. The story moved at a very quick pace with action, emotion and suspense. I can't wait to read more from this author.

Lucas is the Earl of Moad and the leader of the Silver Knights. When he gets wind of an arms deal that places both the Queen and Elskov in danger he will use any means necessary to stop it and that includes blackmailing jewelry designer Ruby.

When Lucas requests a business meeting Ruby believes that this could be exactly what her business needs however she soon finds out that she was brought there under false pretenses. In order to protect her brother she must go against her stepfather and pretends to be Lucas’s fiancée.

As they spend time together they realize that neither was what the other assumed and their chemistry and traumatic childhoods bring them even closer. Will their plan be successful or will it place those they love in deeper danger?

The combination of suspense, twists and romance make this an enjoyable story.

The story seemed a bit convoluted and uplausible. For such a crack team not knowing who the double was seemed silly.

This one by this author has a ingredient I love a secret agent. This makes for thrilling reading and when it is mixed with romance oh boy. This one centers around Lucas and Ruby. Lucas will have his hands full with not just his mission. As the two go along he will get his heart full with her being the key. She too has a difficult mission of her own with combined giving us some danger and drama that pulls us to the edge. She will seep the heat in this causing them to go in a direction you have to follow to see where they end up.

Received in exchange for a honest review.

This is a dangerously sexy read. Lucas is definitely delish and has the edge of danger to him. He had a past that is shady but he rose above it and is now the head of the Silver Knights. When first meeting him it seems he is tough as nails and only thinks of protecting his queen and country. As the story unfolds you see he has a heart and is conflicted. The ending really takes your heart and has it in limbo for awhile. He shows us what heartache and love is in the end and it does tear at you.

Ruby is a sweet girl who loves her family. Family being mom and brother. She does everything to protect them even if it harms herself. And when Lucas asks her to help she isn’t doing it because she feels its the right thing to do no it is for family. she knows her stepdad and knows the danger involved. But again her desire to protect her family rules out. ONly as she is being agreeable you see her plotting as well.

The two are now on a mission that is dangerous in many ways. They are working on the fly so anything can happen but they are also feeling for one another and fighting it. When together the interactions are sassy, sarcastic and entertaining. You see how smart Ruby is and how serious Lucas is. You also see the sizzle of attraction between them. As the danger increases and things go to heck in a handbasket with all that is revealed along the way, we see them grow closer and Lucas have an overwhelming desire to protect Ruby and keep her safe. He battles himself over his duty and his feelings.

The story is full of some reveals that knock you sideways, danger, sexy and sassy banter and a look at what family means to Ruby and you see Lucas see what that word means. We see them battle for good and each other and sacrifice for one another as well. We see love overwhelm and also save them in the end.

A fast paced entertaining tale full of danger, love and family that shows us what family is for Lucas and Ruby and how they are there no matter what

I couldn't get into this book. It's obvious it is supposed to take place in another country and that was difficult in itself for me to understand.

Lucas Bendtsen believes in doing what ever needed to protect his country including blackmailing a mobsters daughter . Ruby will do anything to protect her brother ( whom always seems to find trouble ). In this book full of twists and turns you will fall in love with this couple . You might even feel the urge to scream, cry or throw something lol . BUT you will enjoy it

Wow! I think I have a new favorite hate you-to-love you romance. Lucas and Ruby's story is smoking hot. If you love an enemies to lovers story, then this is definitely a read for you! I promise you will not be disappointed.

Ruby is the step-daughter to an infamous crime boss and has been trying to get out from within his grasp for years. The only thing holding her back is her mother and brother, she will never leave them behind. When she is blackmailed with the safety of her brother and forced to return to the place she despises, she vows that this will be the last time that she is put in this position.

Lucas wasn't fazed by having to blackmail Ruby and would do it again if it meant saving their country and keeping the queen safe. However the last thing he expected was to feel some sort of pull towards Ruby. The more he is around her the more he begins to realize that there is more to her than he expected and he falls a little bit more for her.

Will Ruby and Lucas be able to overcome their differences and risk their hearts in a HEA? Will they make it out of the mission alive? In order to find out, make sure to pick up your copy of this wonderful read today. I promise you will love it. Ruby and Lucas were perfect for each other. The author did a wonderful job of creating a story that kept you turning the pages. I could not put it down, I had to know what was going to happen next. The ending was absolutely perfect and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Lucas and Ruby seem complete opposites on paper, but as they are forced to spend time together on as part of Lucas' mission, they both discover there is more than meets the eye. Their attraction is instant, the chemistry is great and their close proximity along with the danger they are in makes the insta-love real for me. There is a lot going on in the story and there were some things that seemed like they were mistakes, but that may be because I was reading an ARC. Overall an entertaining read that can be read as a standalone.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.

This is the second installment in the Tempt Me series. This was a very interesting read. I loved the two main characters and I thought they were perfect for each other. They bickered back and forth and it was just a delight reading their reactions and their actions. The interesting part of this story was how Lucas and Ruby were thrown together and they both needed to work together to stop the shipment. They were going to have to lie about their engagement but in the end it ended up becoming a weekend wedding or would it. But Ruby took advantage of the moment to bring her brother, her brother that Lucas had in his custody. There was only one little problem or maybe not a problem but he would be able to help out in their plan.

Her Enemy Protector was a good read. The chemistry between these two characters is smoking HOT and so very passionate. The storyline was perfect.

I totally recommend this read!!!
