About the author
Olivia Brynn
17 books104 followersOlivia's Goodreads account is pretty slim. Look for Alanna Coca's Account (http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... see what she's reading. To keep Goodreads reader-oriented, Olivia does not leave ratings on books she's read, nor does she comment on reviews, but she appreciates each and every reader who invests time in her work.
Olivia Brynn is the very saucy alter ego of romance author Alanna Coca. Olivia was the one who lured Alanna into trouble as a child. She also would have been the one to get her mouth washed out with soap. Since controlling Olivia wasn't as easy as she thought, Alanna decided to set her alter ego free with Olivia's first book, For a Price, a story about one woman's journey to sell her virginity. Other books followed, earning five-star reviews and bestselling status. Alanna realized what fun Olivia had writing sexy romances without censor.
Olivia writes contemporary erotic romance near a window where the view of the Rocky Mountains beckons her to run naked through the tall foothill grasses. Except when it snows.

I really enjoyed this quick read, mostly because I'd already read its sequel, Tessa's Pride, and knew Tessa and Josh. Even though I'm anal about reading connected books in order, I think this is one of the rare cases where reading the short prequel after the full book provides a better experience.
For those who don't read Tessa's Pride first, this short prequel won't be more than a hot story about a couple having sex for the first time... I mean their first time together, not each one's first time ever. ;)
So what does a 4-star rating for a story that has less than twenty pages mean? Well, it made me reread the sequel just to revisit Tessa and John, and that's pretty good to me.

Tempting Tessa ~ Short Prequel to Tessa's Pride is intended to tease the reader into reading the rest of the story. She is tempted by her young boss until his father shows up to drag his son back to the ranch. After her day off in her favorite spot, she returns to see Josh loading his truck and driving away and leaving her in the dust...

A very short story, the prequel to Tessa’s pride. Very sweet and it serves it purpose in that I would be interested to read the main story. However, if it was a stand-alone, it would not stand out.

HOT!
This is only 29 pages but it packs a punch. I'm definitely going to read the first book (this is a prequel). New to me author and a recommended read, especially since it's free right now.

More like two and a half stars... there's something about ranch themed romance; I never seem too enjoy them as much as I think I will. Too many tropes I don't like. Couldn't really get into these characters, but the prose was just fine. Not enough to tempt me into reading the series proper though.

Yay for well-written short stories! A great time filler that you're not going to worry about being late to a meeting by reading. And quite refreshing.
