A Pleasing Temptation

The Boudreaux Family #6

by Deborah Fletcher Mello

Can he open her heart to more than a fleeting passion? An ambitious daughter of a close-knit Louisiana clan, Kamaya Boudreaux is making a name for herself in the business world, pursuing lucrative opportunities across the country. But when her best-kept-secret venture-an exclusive male strip club-is threatened to be exposed, the all-work-no-play entrepreneur needs to do some serious damage control. Her plans don't include giving in to temptation with sexy Southerner Wesley Walters, whose buff six-pack body was made for pleasure. As franchise owner of the high-end New Orleans nightclub, Wes is on the climb to corporate success. He hates deceiving Kamaya-she has no idea that her lover was once the most popular performer at his establishment and guests are willing to pay top dollar for his return. With their passionate affair leading them into forever territory, Wes has to come clean. Or he risks losing the guarded beauty whose own intimate secrets could also jeopardize their future together…

Kamaya is very independent and self assured! She knows what she wants and will let nothing stand in her way! Then she meets Wesley and their journey begins! This book is sizzling HOT!

A Pleasing Temptation by Deborah Fletcher Mello is part of the series about the Boudreaux Family. It is the first book that I have read by Deborah Fletcher Mello. It is steamier than my normal read and deals with an industry that I do not like or approve of. Given all of the stated reasons, I must say that it is well written. The story line has romance but also a mystery and adventure. The two main characters are both hiding things from the other and it is interesting how she pulls things together.
IF YOU LIKE STREAMY RAMANCE novels then this is a book for you. I will probably not pick up another book like this just because it is not my preferred reading material.

I received a copy thru a Goodreads Giveaway..

Deborah Mello will always give you an exciting read. Kamyah Boudrough, the last one of the clan still single has a hidden secret. She not only makes her money from gas stations, but she also is the woman behind selling sex toys and owns a male strip club that caters to women. A retired stripper now Strip club manager Wesley Walters Formerly Known As Deuce tries to ignore the sparks but can't. There is a lot of chemistry, and a whole lot of laughter through out the story. I love the writing style and the apparent research that goes into each and every story. I enjoyed the read and can't wait for the next read from this author.

This was an okay story, but not one with the heat that has been normal with this series. It’s an enjoyable read for the weekend.

[Morgan Thomas · Rating 1 out of 5]

As I didn't like this book I was going to give it 2 stars. But ultimately I thought the characters were awful!! So 1 star.

[Shone · Rating 5 out of 5]

Senior and Katherine Boudreaux have raised nine children who are all productive adults. But there is always one who marches to their own tune. Meet Kamaya beautiful, smart, astute, and truly not ready to follow in the steps of her siblings. Breaking her own rule she mixes business with pleasure when she meets the sexy ex dancer now business owner Wesley Walters. The levity between these two is off the charts and will have you wondering what next. Kamaya and Wes will bring a smile to your face and put joy in your heart. A PLEASING TEMPTATION is that and more.

Miniseries: The Boudreaux Family

[Reshemah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fiyah!!!!!!!!

This book was FIYAH!!! One of the hottest books I've read. It might have had a little to do with the strippers. (It was definitely the strippers) The love scenes were done just right and the strip club scenes made me feel as though I was front and center. (I have to ask Ms. Deborah about her research for this book.) To Love A Stallion was once my favorite Deborah Fletcher Mello book but this one has taken its place.

It was fascination; it was serendipity. And this book by Deborah Fletcher Mello has jumped a host of others to become one of my top three favorites by this amazingly gifted romance author. A Pleasing Temptation is Kamaya Boudreaux's and Wesley Walters' story, and it is a beautiful, mature romance story, that lends truth to the saying that "What's meant to be will be." Both Kamaya and Wesley have businesses that are based on the sex business, legal businesses, but are kept secret from each of their families because of attached stigmas. That common bond leads them, in time, to discover others, and soon they discover love. It's a beautiful love story that I recommend.

Excellent read

Excellent read, I enjoyed the storyline and characters. Wesley and Kamayra was a great couple. As always, I enjoy reading g about the Boudreaux family. Although, Paxton wasn't family I'm curious about what happens to him.

Love this series!

This was a great book! I love the Stallion and Boudreaux families. I laughed and had to fan myself during those steamy love scenes!

[Toni · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love it! Kamaya is head-strong, independent and making a name for herself in business. Wesley is a night club Franchise owner on his way to corporate success. When they meet, you can feel the sizzle. If course they have secrets that they need to divulge if a relationship between them is going to work.
Deborah Fletcher Mello has a winner.
