Wanton Temptation

by Ruth D. Kerce

Dark, mysterious, sexy-as-sin...and possibly a murderer.Now, Skylar Davenport must discover if this handsome stranger killed her neighbors. She knows she shouldn't trust him. She shouldn't feel anything for him. He could steal everything precious to her, including her life. But Wade Sinclair makes her feel alive. She craves his smile, his touch, and so much more.Skylar isn't what Wade expected. Instead of hard and vengeful, as he'd been told, Skylar is soft and so gorgeous he aches to touch her. She has a temper, but is smart and determined. Unfortunately, he has a job to do. And though he wants her in his bed, he certainly isn't about to let his heart rule his head. Fate killed love for him once. He isn't looking for a second chance. He'll bed her if he can, but he'll also do what he was hired to do.He'll take care of Skylar permanently, and move on with his life, alone...or so he thinks.

This is the first book in a series called "Wanton Western Series" called "Wanton Temptation" and is followed by "Wanton Surrender". I understand that the author is currently writing a third book in this series.

NOTE: There is also another book called 'Wild Temptation' on this site that is the same book. The cover shown here is not the same cover as the one I am reading.

I am less that 1/3 into this book and enjoying it very much so far. Great story-line with a hot cowboy. Looking forward to reading further.

I loved Wanton Temptation, it was a very good and engaging read; this is the first Western I've read from this publisher but I'm glad I did; I felt pulled in from the start of the story and while I didn't care much for the deceptions between the hero and heroine, the passion between them ad all the things they went through thoroughly endeared them to me; there were times I wanted to throttle both Wade and Skylar, the hero and heroine, but at the same time I couldn't help but wish the best for them; I really enjoyed this story, it's one I imagine I'll revisit often.

I like Ruth Kerce's work so I read this with anticipation. It was a bit of suspense as the hero is not who he appears to be, and he suspects the heroine of a murder(s) she didn't commit. Throw in the attraction between these two and you have a boiling kettle of problems that don't seem to have easy solutions, if any.

I'm surprised I'm giving this 3 stars. It was kind of cheesy, really. It reminded me of the romance novels I read in in the 80's except it had explicit language and love scenes.
The heroine did a lot TSTL things and both of them ran hot and cold with each other.
Crazy, but in the end I like it! Go figure.
