Human being is a mysterious creature, myself included and on the top shelf of weird.

I don’t like to read about manwhores. I can’t stand disrespectful male comments about women. So, after reading Tempt the Boss, I decided to skip this one. Noah, the male protagonist in this story, was not my favourite side character in Tempt the Boss, I even mentioned it in my review.

Blah blah blah

If you didn’t fall asleep or got tired rolling your eyes after my above statement, I try to explain why I liked this book.

First, the review of my friend Tonya made me rethink my decision not to read this book. Tonya is a safety junkie as my humble self and I trust her opinion.
You did well, Alex *lol*

I met the ‘old’ Noah only in the first two chapters from his POV. Damn, I wanted to punch him or to choke him – the things he said about his previous hook-ups…



And if Natasha had paired this male character with any other woman than Kaleigh, I would have DNFed it immediately. Sorry, Natasha, don’t take it personally!

I read mostly because and for the strong/sassy/fierce female characters. And this one delivered it well. I liked Kaleigh. She wasn’t perfect and I didn’t support all her decisions, but overall she was better (much better) than the average heroine in CR. IMO of course.

MCs were equals. He was an OTT manho, she was very experienced (fortunately not on the same level as he; coz if I did the math, I would probably end with thousands of women he slept with).

They had their last hook-ups with OP (off page) the same night before they met.
Thanks God not another virgin/celibate nun!

She wasn’t clingy, quite the opposite – she fled and he chased.
She had good sex in the past and knew what she liked in bed.
She was vocal about her desires without stuttering and whimpering.
She wasn’t passive and accepting.

And Noah miraculously became a monogamous guy after their 1st night together. Miraculously, but not implausible.

The story had many funny moments, but also some weird ones (yoga with the goats???), some immature jokes, but since they didn’t put only the heroine in embarrassing funny situations, but also the hero, I could cope with it.

The book was safe. I liked it. It’s not that I need to justify myself why. It just worked out for me.
Even with my ‘favourite’ trope .

Overall it was a good example of the ‘converted’ womanizer.

Tempt the Playboy is book two in Natasha Madison's Tempt series and is told parallel to the previous book, Tempt the Boss. The story follows Noah and Kaleigh, a manwhore and commitmentphobe he can't seem to stay away from. Noah lives his life free and easy and makes it his mission to sleep with every woman he comes in contact with. But when he meets Kaleigh she's completely different from the other women in his life, and she turns his life upside down when she admits she wants nothing more than one night from him. So now he'll just have to prove to her that they deserve more than that.

The humor in this book was toned down some from the last but it still had me cracking up at moments. Noah and Kaleigh were both outrageous in their own way and I found them to be really perfect together. Both were very open about what they wanted and it worked for their characters to be so honest with each other.

My only issue with the story was that so much of the beginning seemed to focus on the past characters more than the current ones. Since Kaleigh and Noah's story started where the other one did there was a little overlapping and it got to be a tad too much for me when all I wanted was more of Noah and Kaleigh.

The bottom line is that this book, series, and author all get huge recommends from me. I would recommend reading the previous book before starting this one, though, so you can get the full story on all of the characters.

Nothing better than hilarious porn!
This book is about a guy who is the worst. He is the sole reason that a sexual harassment seminar is happening at his company.

Noah: "Oh, is it going to be given by Hannah? I would so bang her. She's so hot."

Boss: "You know she's the head of Human Resources, right? That she has you flagged as the biggest liability of this firm."


[image error]
It makes us feel pretty.

Noah is everything your mother warned you about.
But, he meets his female counterpart, Kaleigh. She is just like him in that she likes the sex without any strings at all. She is a one-and-done kind of girl who leaves the second the sheets have cooled. Suddenly Noah is intrigued. *sigh* of course he is....


Humans are weird.

When she turns him down for a date, saying she has plans, he does the reasonable thing and calls his friends to do a "stake out" with him to see where she's going. This begins the part of the book where I was giggling while reading. It was hilarious.

"What is in there?" John asks.

"It's our go-to bag," I say...

"What exactly is in a go-to bag?"

"A knife, an ax, a bottle opener, a crow bar, a hammer, flask, oils, candles, matches, some string. Oh, and a bell."


They are so getting arrested. At least I was hoping so just so I could see how they explained the bell.

Noah spends so much time chasing this elusive girl that he forgets to be a sexist douchebag. He turns into a decent human being. Weird. And, the best!

This book has the potential to really piss you off in the beginning when he is thinking of women purely as sex objects, but he changes his tune. If you go in with the idea of it just being smutty, funny, fiction, you might like it. Just don't think to much about how you would feel about this guy if he were a real person.


Thank goodness. Jim's a total dick.

3.5 Stars. Noah and Kaleigh worked for me. Noah was a former playboy who finally gets struck by finding "the one". He experiences some growth and development in the process of finding his way with Kaleigh. Kaleigh is a bit more resistant to anything serious with our hero so there's definitely some internal conflict there.

There is some push and pull. There are some funny moments. The first and second story timelines cross over. The plot was ok. Nothing that couldn't happen in real life, even if the instantly reformed playboy is a stretch. Sexy times are good. Writing good. All in all a cute read.

**ARC RECEIVED IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW **

To me, one quality of a great author is their ability to change my feelings about a character in a story. I'm pretty stubborn and if you can make me love a guy who I initially didn't care for, well that is something. That is exactly what Natasha Madison did with this story. She took me from nearly not finishing it to giving it 4 stars.

Noah- At first, I wasn't a fan. He was a manwhore. I mean, it wasn't just said, there were examples of it (lots and lots of examples). I thought he was on the douchey side to be honest. That guy who is always winking, and calling women beautiful all the time. He slept with anyone and everyone. Thankfully we didn't get to see detailed scenes, only recounts of all the women he'd been with. Then, he met Kaleigh and all of that changed. He thought he was broken because he wasn't his normal self - he only wanted one woman. From that point on, he grew on me. By the end of the story, I was #teamnoah

Kaleigh- I remember how spunky she was from book 1. Over the top even. She kept me laughing. She definitly gave Noah a run for his money. I loved how devoted she was to her sister and niece and nephew. I was glad that she finally let Noah in.

- No cheating
- No ow/om drama
- No violence of any nature
- steamy scenes
-good secondary characters - the story runs parallel to book 1. I am curious about Luca and his story. Fingers crossed that he and his heroine are celibate during their separation
-cute epilogue a year out but I would have loved a further look into their future

*sigh* I shouldn't have read this.  I mean, the title speaks for itself.  But then, I kinda like book 1 so I decided to give this a go.  I love to read about manwhores who change their ways when they meet The One.  Hopeless romantic and all. But (that's another but) Noah is too much of a manwhore for me.  It's a wonder his d*ck didn't fall off.  I think, this is one of those books that the reader is better off without the H's POV.  Some of his thoughts before meeting the heroine were unsettling. Her smile (new receptionist at work) shows me that by Saturday her legs will be wrapped around my neck.  He f@cked his last twenty secretaries and sometimes at work.  Nasty.  *shudders*

Yeah, when he met the heroine, he was totally into her but I just couldn't get over it, you know?  Maybe it's because I am really tired of the manwhore trope.  But (that's the third one) thank the lucky stars the heroine Kaleigh is proud of her sexuality and she enjoys sex.  That even the scales for me.

So, I am giving this two stars.  It's kinda fair because I enjoy some parts like the stake out in the park with Austin and John.  It was funny.  And when she cooked something for him and it tasted like burnt feet.  He didn't want to disappoint her so he tried it and drowned it with lots of wine :)

I am sure I would have enjoyed it more if he is not such a manho but then the title would have to be changed :)

FIVE FABULOUS STARS ******

Hilarious and super romantic story from start to finish. I couldn't have possibly loved it more. Once you open this book you'll fall completely in love with the sexy playboy, and the crazy, funny yoga instructor.

IMG_5901

We met Kaleigh and Noah in the first book of this series, Tempt The Boss, as the sister and the best friend of Lauren and Austin. Now we get to follow along their hilarious love story. From the moment Noah met Kaleigh he was completely smitten. Not only is Kaleigh sexy, funny and easy going but she is pretty much the female version of him. After a night of very hot sex Noah is ready for more but Kaleigh blows him off. She is not a believer of love, she likes to have sex and have fun, and zero commitments. Noah doesn't do commitments either, being a lawyer has shown him the ugly side of love, and he wants none of that; that until he met his match.

After a whole bunch of crazy adventures Kaleigh and Noah can't help but fall into a beautiful relationship. And just when things are getting interesting somehow their story gets even juicier. You will laugh, swoon and laugh some more as you read Tempt The Playboy. I'm calling this book the perfect romantic comedy.

Don't waste any more time and one click, I promise you will have a great time while reading.

I won't be rating this one since I didn't finish it.


I have come to the conclusion that this author is not for me. I mean I should have come to this conclusion way before this book.
I've read every single one of her books that she has released and out of those books I've only liked 1, 1 out if 7 books... Just 1 I've enjoyed and I remember when she PMed asking me to remove my spoiler out of my review even though I had a spoiler tag in it. Anyway I'm calling it quits with her, her books are not for me, I'm extremely picky and this hero was disgusting, very disgusting I didn't liked him at all.
I should have followed my instinct, I shouldn't have spent my money.
You know what they say, You lose some and you win some.

He was checking out the heroine's sister ass before meeting the heroine, yeah that's not a problem for some but for me I just found it disgusting.

You have got to love Noah.

I 've been dying for this book since I read the end of Tempt The Boss which is brilliant by the way and must read. Noah is a great character he cracks me up laughing from the start to the finished. I liked that I got to see him falling in love with Kayleigh. He starts as this total player wink at every woman he walks past to this man that can't see anyone but Kayleigh. It's just so adorable I love him so much.

Free Image Hosting at FunkyIMG.com

Kayleigh is just amazing to. She has me in stitches throughout this book to she is so feisty and just great. I was really looking forward to getting more from her. I think she is perfect for Noah cause they are just so alike. They act the same understand each other when no one else does there just perfect.

Free Image Hosting at FunkyIMG.com

I did enjoy this story like I said I was dying for it BUT I felt like there was to much of Tempt The Boss story in it. It was just in Noel and Kayleigh pov which I still enjoyed I just expected more of there story after how things went down with them. Don't get me wrong it's not a retell I just felt like there wasnt enough of them. I loved them that much that I wanted. They were so hot together I mean they couldn't keep there hands of each even when they tried not to. There banter was excellent and made me laugh throughout the whole book.

Free Image Hosting at FunkyIMG.com

I would recommend this book it had everything that I wanted it in it. I just wanted more of Kayleigh and Noah's story the ending was just a lil quick for more. Overall though I loved it.

Haha, this one was a page turner for all you feel good comedy romance readers.
It was pretty hilarious for a renowned playboy to get a taste of his own medicine with yet ANOTHER commitment phobe. Talk about meeting your ultimate match!

I've always enjoyed plot twists that bring to test the unthinkable. With the two protagonists originally not looking to get involved in anything serious and suddenly getting bitten by the love bug~~ this has always been a favorite gamechanger of mine.

Both Noah and Kayleigh have strong, colorful personalities and so to see Noah--- our resident 'playboy'-- get the boot, and Kayleigh, only insisting that their relationship was a mere one night stand had to be both mortifying and refreshing to him.

For him, it is he who does the dumping, not the other way around.

But when you're backs against the wall and the only woman you ever truly wanted keeps pushing you away you can do only one thing---- push back.

Hopeless romantics will gobble this read up and be left giddy and with a few laughs.

Definitely one of my new series favorites for the end of this year.

”4 Playboy can be tamed Stars”

I REALLY ENJOYED this one!!!

I had the best time laughing and getting hot and bothered by this couple! They couldn’t keep it in their pants even if the “Global Peace” was depending on them!!

This book was hilarious and hot and so damn funny!

Noah was pretty amazing, hot, funny and you wouldn’t have guessed he would be Tempted so easily by the right woman! But he was just the best!

Kaleigh was a pretty great heroine too! Funny as hell and a vixen in the bedroom! Noah didn’t know what hot him with her! They were perfect for each other!

Great book! I had a lovely time reading it!!!

Can’t wait for “Tempt the Neighbor”!!

~*~ 4 1/2 STARS ~*~

Damn you, Natasha Madison for making me rely so heavily on you for bringing amazing romantic comedy into my life! You have fed my addiction over and over again, so I hope you are happy with yourself! The jokes on you because I’m onto you. My expectations just soar when it comes to you and to no surprise you exceed them every single time. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, even though Ms. Madison is no veteran to the romance game, she writes like it is what she was BORN TO DO! Everything she brings to the table has so much heart, so much comic relief, and so much romance that will sweep you off of your feet. I’m in awe with each new release she unleashes into the world, and I couldn’t be more proud of the amazing writer she has become.

Ok, now that the mushy stuff is out of the way, let’s get to the playboy and his princess. TEMPT THE PLAYBOY is book #2 in Ms. Madison’s Tempt Series and it’s just as hilarious and romantic as the first. You may recognize our lead characters from book #1 in the series, Tempt the Boss. Noah King and Kaleigh Harrison played pretty big roles in that one, but now they have a story of their very own. It was nice relive some hilarious moments from book #1 in Noah and Kaleigh’s POV. It actually made me want to experience the whole book all over again. As you can tell from the synopsis, Noah is a playboy...one of the worst playboys you can imagine - cocky, arrogant, sexy, confident, and absolutely no shame when it comes to the opposite sex. Kaleigh is a woman who can hold her own. I absolutely LOVED her. She is independent, sassy, beautiful, and says what’s on her mind. When these two lock eyes, it’s all over. They may try to fight it, but they’re it for each other and the journey to them figuring this all out is an absolute HILARIOUS one! 

“From the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you would change my life.”

This romantic comedy has so much heart! It’s the perfect blend of sexy, sweet, and fun! It’s entertaining as hell and I couldn’t put it down once I started. The day after, my cheeks still hurt from smiling the ENTIRE TIME! Do yourself a favor. Give yourself a break. Indulge in some laughter and romance with a Natasha Madison rom-com. You cannot go wrong here, I guarantee it. Let Noah and Kaleigh’s love story take you away for a while, where stress does not exist. A temporary escape, but an escape no less.

Ah, as much as I've loved AUSTIN & LAUREN in Tempt the boss it turned out that I felt just meh about NOAH & KALEIGH in this story...

To tell you the truth, what I found funny in Tempt the boss, was childish and annoying in Tempt the playboy, I honestly couldn't see what was so special about the sex between Noah & Kaleigh that after just one sexcapade, he turned his manwhore ways...

Yeah, that always makes me stop and wonder?!

Anyway, I wanted to like it but it felt forced, and I just stopped fighting against the urge to enjoy in laughter when in fact, I didn't find it funny in the first place...

Yeah, I guess this one is all on me😒

4.0 4.5 fuuny!

description

My face hurts from laughing when I was reading Tempt the Playboy.  Natasha Madison's latest romantic comedy is a fast and fun read. Just like her first book in this series of standalones, this book is spicy and sweet.  You will laugh out loud and end up fogging up your e-reader screen.

Natasha added many of the same plot dynamics and her signature dirty and sexy fun antics from Tempt the Boss. Tempt the Playboy focuses on Lauren’s sister Kayleigh and Austin’s best friend Noah who appeared in Boss. 
 
Since this book is a total standalone, you do not need to read Tempt the Boss to enjoy Tempt the Playboy.  If you read and enjoyed Tempt the Boss, you will adore the story of these two whacky, sexed-up commitment-phoebes on their romantic journey.

Natasha has done it again! I love her books! Tempt the Playboy is a fun, steamy, quick read that you won’t be able to put down. Noah and Kaleigh have such intense chemistry and the witty banter that I have come to know and love from Natasha. Her books make me happy and they make me smile. Go one click! You won’t be sorry!

Tempt the Playboy was a nice,funny,effortless and sexy read...if you are looking for a good time 1 click it.

Kaleigh and Noah love their sex without strings attached,they enjoy sex and they have had a long list of one night stands...said that you can be sure their attracion is explosive but they are also cute and funny together.

I've enjoyed to read more about them because after I finished the first book in the series I was really curious to know their side of the story.

4 stars!

I loved this book! After the awesomeness that is Tempt the Boss I was so excited to dive back into this world, and this is a fun, sexy, easy read with lots of laughs, a whole lot of hotness and two characters that you cannot help but love.

This book follows on from Tempt the Boss, although it can be read as a standalone. HOWEVER, be aware that most of the action in this book takes place during the same timeframe as Tempt the Boss, so this book contains major spoilers for the first. If you haven’t read Tempt the Boss, and intend on doing so in the future, definitely start with that one.

This book is the story of Noah and Kaleigh. Noah is the best friend of Austin, and Kaleigh is Lauren’s younger sister – both introduced in Tempt the Boss, with their story playing out in the background. The first book ended with a big reveal for them, and now we get up close and personal with all of their sexy shenanigans, and holy hell this is a hot little read.

Noah is a playboy - a manwhore who does who he wants, when he wants, and he makes no apologies for it. He is rude and crude with a strong juvenile streak and he absolutely owns it, and I love him for it! There’s something charmingly hilarious about his blasé attitude to all thing sex, and it makes for some fun and entertaining reading.

“We have that sexual harassment conference that’s mandatory right after lunch.” He eyes me.
“Oh, is it going to be given by Hannah?” I ask him. “I would so bang her. She’s so hot.”

Kaleigh is very different to Noah in some ways, but she’s his total match in that she’s wild, free, sexually liberated and has a rule about never sleeping with the same guy twice. Their initial meeting sparks their chemistry, followed by flirting, wildly raunchy sexting and a whole lot of innuendo. Their first night together blows both of them away, leaving Noah hungry for more, but Kaleigh is playing by her rules, deciding they should be friends… until she can’t anymore.

I was so fucking right. You cannot be friends with someone you’ve been with, but the thought of not seeing him anymore bothers me more than I care to say.

Their chemistry is too intense, their attraction too strong, and Noah is charmingly persistent (and a little stalker-ish). It’s only a matter of time.



Whoa this book is hot. The sexy time is sizzling, there’s lots of it and with both Noah and Kaleigh into the dirty talk (and pretty much anything else), there is plenty of hotness to be had. It’s intense and things progress quickly for them, but their relationship is easy and effortless, and it was lots of fun just watching them follow their hearts and just go with it.

But they are both very new to the relationship thing, and unexpected challenges will test them in ways they never expected.

I really enjoyed this read. Noah is hilarious, and I loved his POV, and I loved that Kaleigh was just as wild as he was. It makes for a fun dynamic between them and I loved their chemistry. I would have liked a bit more build up and emotion between them though – the swoony stuff, though very welcome, was a bit sudden for me. But still, I really loved the way it all played out, and the epilogue was gorgeous.

This book is lots of fun, and with more to come in the series, I can’t wait to continue on.

4 stars.

I refer you to everything I wrote about the first book in addition to the fact that I skimmed and skipped huge portions of this book, just so it would end. Please take note, it was only when I reached the part where the heroine meets the hero's mother, that I perceived the extent of the writer's ignorance and ineptitude. Firstly the way the mother was just force fed into that scene, exactly like when a mushroom pops over night, without any back history and then one scene later is whisked as if she never was, was ridiculous. Secondly the heroine's or we had better say the writer's idea of what constitutes a powerful speech to set the mother down in her place, was jibberish. Stupid. An affront to the readers intelligence. Sloppy. Pathetic really.
I follow a reviewer who has a shelf named : "who told you that you could write?"

I'm going to add a similar shelf in my list and add this awful writer there, so that I can avoid reading anything she writes in the future.

Sweet, funny and sexy!

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first book mainly because 80% of it covered the same stuff as book one, just from Noah and Kaleigh's pov. Only the last few chapters were new material beyond where book one ended.
I felt like Noah's past - - was bought up and glossed over way too quickly. It felt like a pointless part of his story.

I did enjoy it though and love the characters in this world, so will definitely be reading the next in the series :)

This one wasn't a favorite of mine. I think it was because this was basically the same as the first book but with two different characters. We already knew most of what happened, until you get to about 83% of the way through the book. That's when the new stuff starts. That was frustrating.

Earlier this year I read Tempt The Boss, and loved it. It was my first Natasha Madison read, yet I do not hesitate to call the book my favourite enemies-to-lovers story. It is, without a doubt, one of the funniest books I have ever picked up. I’m constantly telling people to read it, pointing people towards the amazing romcom. Since reading it, I’ve been meaning to pick up another Natasha Madison read, excited to see what else the author has to offer. I waited, however. Rather than diving into any Natasha Madison read, I waited for the second of the Tempt books.

Although the love story in Tempt the Playboy is a standalone love story, I really do recommend reading Tempt the Boss first. Tempt the Playboy is a companion novel, taking place alongside the story in Tempt the Boss. So many references are made to events in Tempt the Boss that I fear you will be lost if you have not read it. Plus, this works to build up on what we already know about the characters from the prior book. I know some people will still go into this one as though it is a standalone novel, but for the fullest enjoyment go and read Tempt the Boss. Not only is it necessary, it is an amazing read.

In all honesty, I did not enjoy Tempt the Playboy as much as I enjoyed Tempt the Boss. I think my standards were set far too high after Tempt the Boss. For me, Tempt the Boss was a four-point-five-star rating rounded down whereas Tempt the Playboy is a three-point-five-star rating rounded up. I enjoyed this one, but it wasn’t the mind blowing read I received from the first book. The storyline was decent, there was some laughter, but I wasn’t as sucked in as I was with the first book.

I think for me, my biggest issue was that I did not feel the connection between the characters I had hoped for. I enjoyed both of the characters when they were side characters in Tempt the Boss, but when I was reading their story I did not feel the connection between them that had I had been imagining. I enjoyed watching as their story unfolded, but I wasn’t lost inside of it. With Tempt the Boss, I could not put the book down; with this one, I was about to turn my attention to other things. Due to this, I noticed a lot of smaller things I’d been able to overlook in book one but wasn’t quite able to ignore with this one – namely how we got to see certain elements from both points of view, without it really adding much, simply telling it from a different perspective.

As with the prior book, my favourite thing was the humour. I wasn’t howling with laughter on every page as I was with the first book, but there were plenty of giggles to be found throughout. One scene in particular makes for a wonderful giggle.

Whilst I am interested in picking up the third book, Tempt the Neighbor, I’m not as crazy excited for it as I was for Tempt the Playboy after finishing Tempt the Boss. I’ll certainly be reading it, but it is not at the top of my to-read list. With a bit of luck, however, I will enjoy it more than I enjoyed this one.

I've read my fair share of sexy books, I barely ever read anything without a certain level of hotness, but HOLY SHIT, this one was SMOKING!

Even in the first book, I knew I'd love Noah and Kaleigh. They were both carefree, a bit crazy, and just so honest. They reminded me a little of Cassie and Thatch if you know those crazy mofos - basically my favorite couple ever.
It all started out as just sex for both of them since that's what they are usually after. And they are not ashamed about it at all. But everything is just so easy between them, soon they are undeniably in a relationship and thank God, they don't really mind.
Add some hilarious friends and family, a surprise baby, and secret marriage, and it turns out to be this hot as hell, fun, perfectly entertaining story. Loved it!

I was so excited to be able to read and review Tempt the Player. After reading book 1 in the series, I knew this one would be just as good. I really enjoy Madison's writing style and the characters are engaging. I like that there are plenty of hilarious moments as well as the sweet, sexy, swoon-worthy ones. If you have not read book 1 in this series, I would strongly suggest that you do, since Noah and Kaleigh's story overlaps with Lauren and Austin's from book 1. I loved the fact that we got to see bits and pieces of all four of them as their relationships developed.

Noah is the true meaning of the word playboy. Not only is he wealthy, successful and downright sexy, he doesn't lack for bed partners. Bedding nearly all women he comes into contact with see,s to work well for him. He is a bit of a manwhore to say the least. That is until he meets Kaleigh and she literally turns his world upside down and inside out. Heis the king of one-night stands and he has met his match. The tables have been turned and Noah is getting a dose of his own medicine. Can he pull out all the stops and show Kaleigh that he has quit his playboy ways or will the one night she gives him leave him frustrated beyond belief?

Kaleigh doesn't do relationships. Getting her heart broken is the last thing she wants to go through again. When she meets Noah, she never imagined that one night could have her possibly wanting more. Giving him a dose of his own medicine seems like a great idea. Now he will see how the other half feels after she walks away. But, when Noah pulls out all the stops and tries every trick in the book to gain her trust, Kaleigh finds herself caught up in everything that is all Noah.

I seriously loved these two together. I loved the game of cat and mouse that they played. I love that Noah finally came to realize that all those one night stands were a thing of the past and that he could be happy with just one woman. And boy did he pull out all the stops to woo her. Tempt The Playboy is a relatively quick, sexy, hilarious read. It is well written, engaging and sexy. I cannot wait to read what comes next!

Natasha Madison sure knows how to write sexy, fun, flirty romances that leave you laughing out loud and fanning yourself at the same time.

Tempt the Playboy is a quick, hot read about Noah & Kaleigh. These two are explosive and their banter; hilarious & addicting.

I devoured this book, literally ate it up in around 2 hours! Cover to cover this book is infectious and a total feel good read.

The story is funny and even less cringey than the first book, but what bothered me here is that until 83% of the book, it's just a retelling of the first book from different POVs ... literally! Verbatim!

Let's hope for something new in the last book.

Natasha Madison strikes again! She delivered another rom com par excellence. This is seriously her genre and I sincerely hope, that she will write more books like this one. The best thing about her stories is that the humor is not forced. It's natural and witty. You can't help but shake your head in disbelieve at the characters and their actions while laughing like crazy. I love it when a book like this helps me to escape reality and lifts my spirits.

Tempt The Playboy is book #2 in the Tempt series and is actually for the most part taking place parallel to Tempt The Boss, book #1. This is why we are already introduced to sexy manwhore lawyer Noah and crazy yoga-teacher Kaleigh who got acquainted through Austin, his best friend and Lauren, her sister. I'm impressed how well Natasha Madison managed to intertwine the stories. The story lines perfectly blended into each other. 

Noah has is all: money, looks and any woman he wants. He goes through personal assistants like underware. His co-workers are sure that one of these days his manwhoring ways will bite him in the ass. Looks like their worries were legit when Noah meets Kaleigh who turns his world upside down.

Kaleigh's life motto is easy: never date the same man twice. This way the chances of getting her heart broken are slim. And she swore to never let that happen again! But the first time she meets charismatic Noah, she is in serious danger of breaking her own rule.

When Kaleigh runs out on Noah after a hot night of passion, he is determined to get her back for more. But can he handle a woman like her? He has no idea! Watch the temptress tempting the playboy...

This couple had such a scorching hot chemistry! Each of them had their own brand of crazy, but that's why I loved them so much! Noah was determined, sexy and cared deeply about Kaleigh. She was everything he wanted but never knew he needed. Kaleigh was a tough and independant chick who didn't care for Noah's wealth. All she wanted was him.

Tempt The Playboy is a great addition to the Temp series and totally lives up to the former book. I can't choose a favorite between them because I loved them equally. I'm giving this book 5 well deserved stars. Great job Natasha Madison!
