Forbidden Desires #4

Tempting Little Tease

Rate this book
She's the tutor I hired to teach me Italian.

She's way too young for me, but she's also gorgeous, bright and filled with a curiosity about life that I find incredibly refreshing.

It's fucking adorable.

I’m old enough to know better, but this pretty young thing tempts me beyond belief. And for the first time in my life, I can see myself falling.

***
Is this what it's like to be pursued by an older man? The complete confidence, the lack of expectations, the sincerity?

My God, it's exhilarating.

Quinn Kinglsey is totally unexpected. I'm moving to Italy in three weeks to teach English, and while I never expected something so real to develop between us so quickly, our chemistry is explosive.

There's something so sexy about this back and forth he and I share. Flirting with this man is like playing with fire, and I'm bound to get burned.

Io sono attratto da te I'm attracted to you, he tells me.

But is our attraction enough to get us through the complications of a massive age gap and an international love affair? Only one way to find out…

This is book 4 in the Forbidden Desires series, but it can be read as a complete standalone.

Thank you Maayan for the rec.

Wow I can say I was pleasantly surprised about this book. I mean just look at this hero's brothers books, they are STD ridden dicks, they were crude how they treated women, I was half expecting that this hero would come out and say that he was adopted or maybe the brothers were the ones adopted.
Hero was celibate for a long time, and I'm happy to report that the heroine was not a virgin. The hero's brothers were a judgmental assholes, I don't know how they had the nerve to talk about hero's relationship with heroine when they weren't good men with their own women. I hated them.
This hero was respectful and treated the heroine how a man is supposed to treat a woman.

I'm glad I read it.

~Celibate hero.
~No ow/om drama.

Good read.
Too insta, but thanks to the great hero quite enjoyable 
I must admit their age gap bugged me a bit, he was 16 years older!
Fortunately the heroine wasn’t a shy wallflower! Yay!

H’s brothers… I have no words… Horrible…
They almost ruined the book for me, a couple of their abhorrent comments and I wanted to throw my Kindle against the wall.
Lucky me never read and never ever will read their books. Argh!

4 Dolce Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This book was in a word sweet... and according to my vast knowledge of the Italian language(A.k.a. Siri)dolce means sweet in Italian..... not sure if it has the same meaning, maybe this is in reference to food? But I digress.....

this was a low angst instalove romance.... The only forbidden/taboo part of this was the 17 year age gap between Alessandra and Quinn.... The only problem I have with this is that I don’t believe a 22-year-old girl has enough life experience to commit herself to a 39-year-old man.... I have a son and daughter, 20 and 21, and I wouldn’t want either of them to get involved with somebody 17 years older than them... I just feel as though they would miss out on so many wonderful things you learn in your 20s... but that’s the mom in me.....

Alessandra and Quinn Meat when she becomes his Italian tutor.... Alessandra is about to head off to Italy a dream come true, she just has three more weeks in the US.... then she meets Quinn and falls for him immediately... SO Italy or the guy?

My favorite parts of this book involved Italy... I enjoyed all the Italian language references and Italy itself.... I did really like Alessandra I thought she had some drive and determination to get what she wanted... and I enjoyed her interactions with the kids she was nanny to.... Quinn on the other hand to be quite blunt was pretty boring... other than the fact he could speak Italian I really wasn’t all that impressed.... however, I do think he and Alessandra worked well as a couple..... and in the end I enjoyed this sweet simple romance that left me craving pasta.....

Recommend to romance lovers, if you don’t love romance this is not the book for you💕

4 Meraviglioso Stars!

Tempting Little Tease is a standalone and is part of the Forbidden Desires series. If you want something super sweet, sassy and steamy then this series is for you. I was in a book funk and Tempting Little Tease totally took me out of it. I wanted to get swept away and what better way to do it but with a plate of pasta and a fun read.

This is Alessandra and Quinn’s story. Each book is about the brothers that run Forbidden Desires escort agency.

Tempting Little Tease was a little different. I felt like Quinn and Alessandra had their own little story kind of outside of Forbidden Desires and I liked it.

Alessandra is a nanny to pay the bills but her dream is to move to Italy. She speaks fluent Italian and is a tutor on the side for extra cash. Alessandra is young and it shows. To be in my early twenties and the world at your feet. I love that she dreams big and she wants simple things. I love that she is a nanny and I love the little moments she interacts with the kids.

Quinn was kind of the broody brother and I didn’t really know much about him from the previous books, but I found him to be really sweet and just a lovable character. I love that he is learning to speak Italian and the chemistry between Alessandra and him is steamy. This is 100% an insta-lust kind of situation and thank goodness, I mean the abs on the cover mean something right?

The thing that I enjoyed most about this book was the low angst factor. It was a no-fuss-no-muss kind of read. It was just two people enjoying company. I love there was low drama and the little interaction with side character was just enough to keep me interested. I found all the Italian references refreshing and brings me back to memories when I visited Italy in my twenties.

Tempting Little Tease was a quick non-stop read for me. It was the perfect book to curl up next to my husband at night right after I put the kids to bed.

Maybe I’m in a mood, but I couldn’t take this book seriously. The hero is 38 and has been with many women, but not in awhile. The heroine is 22 and not a virgin. The hero owns the building that houses his company. He and his brothers run an escort service. Does an escort service make enough money for 3 men to live like millionaires? Maybe it does. There are mentions of business trips- why would there be business trips? Nothing was mentioned about having any escorts in other cities. Also they go to fundraisers, etc and everyone knows what their business is. Isn’t running a fancy prostitution business illegal? Wouldn’t they try to remain private? If the author wanted a rich businessman hero she should have made him a bank executive or something. Also their first sexual scene was dumb. He is using his hands on her and right before she has her big O he stops. She asks “why did you stop?”. He tells her “it’s called edging”. I almost stopped reading there! It made him seem like a Christian Gray wannabe. And made me think of all the OW he has perfected his “edging” on. There’s more- like her lame move to Italy, but I’m too tired to continue. This book was a disappointment. I don’t even know how many stars I want to give it!

Short, sweet, and romantic! From the very first book, Quinn caught my attention. Being the oldest brother and the person each brother counted on really endeared him to me. I'm so happy he got his very own HEA!

The title here, is very apt. This book is short, fast-paced, and sexy. A true tempting little tease.

Here are the highlights:
It's a quick and satisfying read.
The characters are both interesting and the storyline is awesome.
Quinn meets Alessandra when his regular Italian tutor falls ill. Sparks fly immediately between these two! She's a nanny by trade, but is also fluent in Italian. She supplements her income by tutoring and plans to move to Italy soon. Her plans to move out of the country coupled with the difference in their ages make this an in an more AWESOME read. I love the tropes.

Overall, another fantastic additional to this series! I really enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone looking for a quick, light, engaging read. I enjoyed it immensely, though I do wish it had been longer.

“Even if she leaves me in the end, I have to be able to say that I did everything in my power to keep her.”

Oh, Quinn Kingsley, how you take my breath away! This book was such a beautiful and sexy romantic treat. I couldn’t put it down! And when I did finally put it down, I wanted to read it all over again! It was a quick read, but it was packed with this emotional and sensual pull that you just couldn’t deny. I adored Quinn and Alessandra. I crave that forbidden angle with the heavy age difference, but Ms. Ryan does it in such a classy way. It was executed beautifully. I swooned HEAVILY and smiled BROADLY. Kendall Ryan can really do no wrong in my book, so with each new release, new story, new crop of characters she puts out into the world, I will be one of the first in line to EXPERIENCE it all!

Sexy young couple

This may have been my favorite book in this series. And that's saying something because I loved Cooper. But Quinn. Oh, man. Quinn. He's that smart, sophisticated, gorgeous, older man that you only see in movies or read about in books. He knows what he wants and he isn't afraid to go after it.

And he wants Alessandra.

Quinn's new Italian tutor is a twenty-two year old who has her life mapped out. The plan is to spend three more weeks Stateside and then move to Italy. It's the dream. The ultimate dream. And nothing will stand in her way.

Except maybe Quinn Kingsley.

There's just something about a man in a suit. Something about a man who goes after what he wants, who speaks a foreign language, and who believes in the power of a date. A real date. Not a hook up or a night of meaningless sex (not that that hasn't been a thing for Quinn, but at his age, he's ready for love).

So, yeah. Quinn and Alessandra. They top the charts for me in this series.

Oh how I LOVED the HOT and BIG-HEARTED HERO, Quinn! There is more to this quiet and calm man than meets the eye. He’s charming and playful. So sinfully sexy with a vulnerability that makes you fall in love even harder. Hidden underneath this devastatingly handsome and powerful man is a swoony romantic who me swoon. This man made me MELT all over, and I pledge my love to Quinn! This hero is tender and touching while still so deliciously dirty—a HEADY COMBINATION.

There’s something so sexy about this back and forth. It’s like playing with fire.


The playful banter full of heat and heart between this hero and heroine is MAGNETIC!!! I could not resist these explosive characters. They completely WOWED me!

“Tu mi toglie il fiato,” I say, closing the distance between us.

“You take my breath away.”


Oh my SWOON! Quinn and Alessandra are MAGICAL together! This hero and heroine are MEANT TO BE.

Tempting Little Tease is as SWOONY as it is SMOLDERING. The smolder and sweetness burn from heart to core. I MELTED from head to toe. I felt HEADY all over.

Tempting Little Tease by Kendall Ryan ~ 4.5 Stars

Sono inamorata!!!

SWOONS!!! Tempting little tease is short and sweet, hilarious, sexy, romantic. Quinn is a fine piece of man. At 38 Quinn has everything except a woman to share his life with. Alessandra is beautiful, young, vibrant. She is a nanny to two adorable kids but her dream is to teach English in Italy. Alessandra bought a one-way ticket but three weeks before leaving the country she met her new student Quinn. Alessandra supposed to teach Quinn Italian but let just say the teacher / student relationship grew a lot hotter than either one expected. Alessandra is 22 years young. She is carefree and set on experience a new life in Italy. Will distant makes the heart grows fonder? Honestly, I can’t tell that there is an age gap between Quinn and Alessandra. Besides, the fact that career wise Alessandra is not where she needs to be… the author did nice job with the chemistry, attraction, passion, romance between the hero and heroine. I like that there is no playing game with Alessandra. She enjoys life and lives for the moment. She is attracted to Quinn so she is willing to give romance a chance. I also adore Quinn. The eldest of three brothers. Quinn carries a weight is on his shoulders to take care of his brothers growing up, and now running a successful business Quinn has little time to date. He deserves a break and a nice someone to love.
I really enjoy these short stories from Kendall Ryan. Sometimes all I need is a quick, sexy, easy read to get me through a rough day.
Gorgeous writing and another beautiful love story from Kendall Ryan – one of my go-to author and she never disappoints.

From start to finish, this book was the perfect telling of Quinn’s story that readers eagerly craved!

Tempting Little Tease is a delicious, enticing, and enjoyable quick read! This is book 4 in the Forbidden Desires series, but can be read as a complete standalone, although I HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading the previous books as they are utterly fantastic!

Up until now, we’ve known very little about Quinn Kingsley. This book dives right into the heart of his character and shows readers a deeper and entirely more emotional side to Quinn that we never knew he possessed. And when he meets the vivacious and mature Alessandra, we get to enjoy the flirtatious and joyous qualities that we haven’t seen from him. Both characters bring out the very best in each other. Their dynamic and chemistry cause sparks to fly immediately, and to see their characteristics grow not just together, but individually as well, was a strength to the storyline.

But what I really enjoyed was Alessandra’s drive to pursue her dreams and ambitions. Even at the cost of letting the love of her life go, she was willing to take a chance on the unknown. And for Quinn to realize how important her goals were to her, he sacrifices his own love and happiness for her.

Tempting Little Tease is a sweet, heartwarming, and heat-blazing love story with an entertaining storyline. If you liked the previous books in the series, then you definitely don’t want to pass up this book!

5 Stars!

Kendall Ryan continues her Forbidden Desires series with Tempting Little Tease a sexy venture between the oldest Kinglsey brother Quinn and the gorgeous and lively Italian tutor who temps him like no other.

Quinn Kinglsey’s intention of learning Italian was to feel closer to his roots, he never intended to fall for his much younger substitute tutor, but he finds her interest and vivaciousness refreshing and intoxicating.

Despite the age difference, Alessandra is a spitfire more than capable of dealing with the older, confident and mature man. She is a strong, independent young woman whose dreams of living abroad are finally coming true in less than a month but finds the attraction between herself and Quinn equally exhilarating and inescapable. Will it be one last hurrah before she leaves or will their budding relationship be strong enough to overcome the distance?

Ryan is an expert at writing fun, sexy and easy to read stories that leave the reader smiling and Tempting Little Tease is no exception. The balance between the forbidden because of the age difference, the romance and relationship is spot on. The lightheartedness because of Quinn’s clumsy attempts at seducing Alessandra in Italian is endearing, the relationship is handled with maturity on both ends, the romantic grand gesture is swoony and the steam between them is sweltering hot.

I only with I’d gotten a bit more of these characters, including Quinn’s brothers and their significant others who we get updates on. I honestly thought Ryan would be wrapping up the series with the book, but fans will be delighted that with the ends which leaves the series open to at least one more installment.

Tempting Little Tease is book #4 of the Forbidden Desires series by Kendall Ryan. It is a standalone contemporary romance. Told from both points of view with a happily ending, no cliffhanger.

Kendall Ryan is killing it with this series and this is the best one yet. Sexy. Sweet. Tempting. Oh so forbidden. Tempting Little Tease steamed up my kindle screen and had my heart about to beat out of my chest. I love love love a good age gap romance and Kendall delivered the perfect one.

The moment these two meet...everything changes. She's going to change his world in ways he never expected it. She might be just temporary but what they feel is anything but. A magnetic attraction. Undeniable chemistry. Unforgettable moments. What started as Italian lessons is going to turn into so...much...more... Alexandra and Quinn completely stole my heart.

Swoonworthy. Sizzling. Oh man do I want some lessons with this sexy alpha. This was an enticing and addicting addition to this series but I definitely suggest you start from the beginning because these Kingsley brothers are so irresistible.

I highly recommend this book.

What a great addition to this series! This can be read as a stand-alone but it is way more fun if you have already gotten to meet the two younger Kingsley brothers.

Quinn is the eldest brother. Serious, business minded, and doesn't have time nor really the interest in looking for someone for himself. And then walks in his new tutor. Alessandra is about to embark on her dreams of Italy. She has always dreamed of living there, taking in the sights, and enjoying the culture. And then she meets Quinn and her plans don't look so easy anymore.

This book moves pretty quickly, but not too quickly. I was fast-paced but perfect. There is a pretty big age gap between Quinn and Alessandra but they compliment each other really well. Alessandra is a mature character and is the perfect lightness to Quinn's pretty no-nonsense life. It was also nice to see the younger Kingsley's in the story. They add this nice layer of genuineness to the overall story. It also seems that perhaps there is more to the story yet to come.

Sweet, fun, flirty, and sexy! Tempting Little Tease was a low-angst storyline and easy read. Hot older man hires young college grad student to tutor him Italian. Hot chemistry and romance...seriously what else can you ask for. This book was just downright fun especially when we got to fall for a swooony hero.

Tempting Little Tease was a great ending the trio of Kingsley's brother stories, but not the end of this series. Oh no, no, no. Kendall threw us a little surprise in this book which will continue the Forbidden Desires series. YAY!!

I had been looking forward to Quinn's book since this series started. He is the eldest of the Kingsley brothers and the one that seems to have his shit together. He's never been one for relationships and he is quite ok with that. There isn't anything in his past that has given a bad outlook, it's just something that was never a big deal to him.

Quinn meets Alessandra, when his tutor has some medical problems that lands him in the hospital. Alessandra is getting ready to leave for Italy in 3 weeks, but until that time comes, she has been fulfilling her duties as a full time nanny and an Italian tutor. Alessandra becomes Quinn's tutor and they both quickly become infatuated with each other, regardless of their age difference.

Alessandra makes it known that she has only has a few weeks left in America before she moves to Italy as part of her life-long dream to be an American tutor there. Quinn has never been one for relationships and sees this as a great opportunity to woo her during the time they have left. Except neither anticipates her departure to be so difficult when it comes.

As most of you know, I am not one for insta-love romances. They are very hard sell for me but I love how Kendall spins this one. For me personally, I think what started as lust transformed to love for these as they got to know each other. I love that Quinn didn't occupy Alessandra's time while still in America and gave her the freedom to be herself. I love that Alessandra didn't make her last few weeks all about Quinn and stayed the girl she was before meeting him. Too many times in stories, do I see where the heroine forgets about everyone else in her life and just clings to the man as though she needs his air to breathe. Quinn and Alessandra compliment each other well in this relationship and I really enjoyed that aspect a lot.

Kendall has one again written another beautiful and sweet romance that readers will cobble up quickly and love.

Tempting Little Tease is the fourth book in the Forbidden Desires series and I honestly can say that it has been my favorite. I think I was in the mood for a dose of Ms. Ryan’s writing when I grab this one because I did not want to put it down at all. It was sexy as all hell and I probably could have attacked my husband had he been near while I was reading it. It had the perfect balance of emotional moments as well as that feeling of contentment. Older hero, younger heroine, something that could be forbidden or naughty but at the same time beautiful and meaningful. I bet you are all asking what I mean by that but when you finish Tempting Little Tease you will understand, or at least I think you will.

Quinn and Alessandra will quickly work their way into your life in the best possible ways. I honestly think these two may very well be my favorite couple in the series. There was just something more about them that I just can’t put my finger on but whatever it was made them stand out.

Tempting Little Tease is one that is a must read in my opinion, one that even if you haven’t read the previous books you can easily read, and one I think most will really enjoy.

This book is part of a series of interconnected standalones about three brothers who own an escort sevice. Not as seedy as it sounds. This is simply classy dates for visiting wealthy businessmen, etc. This is oldest brother, Quinn's book. I have not read the others in this series which did not prevent me from enjoying this one. Although I must confess that having read this one, I do want to go back and read Gavin and Cooper's books.
This was a quick, enjoyable read. Our heroine is Alessandra. A recent college graduate with dreams of moving to Italy. She becomes an Italian languague tutor for Quinn who wants to learn to speak the language. I loved their conversations with Italian sprinkled in. Nothing more romantic.
One of the main complications in this budding relationship is the age difference. Neither are blind to the obstacles presented by this. Does age really matters when you have found your soulmate? When the physical and intellectual attraction is so powerful?
Alessandra has plans in place to move to Italy. Something that has been a life-long dream. Then she meets Quinn. Will she follow through with her dream given the opportunity? You will have to read to find out.
No unnecessary angst or drama in this one. An engaging story of falling in love despite some pretty intimidating circumstances. H and h very likable characters. The brothers appear as interesting secondary characters and I will be reading their books in the near future. Two thumbs up for this latest from Kendall Ryan!

I really enjoyed Tempting Little Tease by Kendall Ryan.
It's a quick, well written and steamy read that held my interest from start to end.

Quinn and Alessandra are likable, passionate characters and I loved them together.
I enjoyed watching their interactions, they made me smile and swoon and the pull they both felt from the first meeting was totally believable. I had no issue with the age difference, if anything it added to my enjoyment watching this older well established man find his soul mate in a much younger woman.
They have amazing chemistry and they warmed my heart watching them fall in love and getting their happily everafter.

This is my favorite of the Forbidden Desires series. I loved Quinn's character from the get-go and couldn't wait for his book. Alexandra was perfect for him and I loved the passion they had for each other.

Tempting Little Tease was a tempting little tease of what a good book this might have been.

Unfortunately for me it fell flat. It was cliched, so full of eye roll worthy moments that I nearly did not finish it

I expected more of the MCs, particularly Quinn. He felt two dimensional and I didn't feel anything from him.

Is Alessandra didn't go the direction she did i would have jumped into the book and shaken some srnse into her. Though by the end I wanted to do that any way.

My past few Kendall books have been feeling like she is putting out a book because it is 5 weeks since the last one and one just has to be released, and quality is being compromised for quantity (this could just be me though)

This book!! It was so good! I hadn't read a Kendall Ryan that made me this elated in a while. This is the kind of Kendall Ryan book that first made me fall in love with her writing and her books. So I'm truly happy, after so long of loving her latest releases, but feeling that little flair that was typical of her, missing, I finally read a book that HAD THE FREAKING FLAIR.

I loved everything about this one. It was a super fast read, even more than usual for me with her books. I loved the plot. Yes, give me all the sexy Italian! I'm kind of sad there wasn't much actual descriptions of Italy, I would have love that but still, the little bits of the language in there were phenomenal and I learned a couple of things here and there.

When it comes to the characters oh boy. I loved these two, and when they were together it was just so fun. The banter, the flirting (IN ITALIAN *swoon*), their dates! Ah, I loved. And then their explosive chemistry, I mean it was fun while their were lusting for each other but when they gave in, it was hot!

There is a slightly big age gap between these two, a 16 year one, she is only 22 while he's 38. Okay.. it is a lot and I feel like maybe it should gross me out but it really didn't. Quinn was amazing, he was the epitome of a MEN, he was sexy, knew exactly what he wanted and how to go about getting it. He was also sweet, and understanding, romantic, etc etc. I truly loved the guy despite him being almost 40 and it's amazing how they clicked and just seemed to work together. It was hot, sweet and just perfect.

Alessandra is a full time nanny, which pays her bills, and tutors Italian after hours to help her save money so she can make her dream of living in Italy come true. This dream is going to come true in a month when she moves to Italy to teach English.
Quinn who just recently discovered he had an Italian background, had been learning the language but his tutor suffered an heart attack. While he was in the hospital, Alessandra was assigned as his new tutor until she would leave for Italy.

They have an instant chemistry, and Quinn doesn't hold off on telling it like it is:
  Io sono attratto da te. I'm attracted to you.


Actually he doesn't hold off on anything and I loved that about him, and so did Alessandra. But their relationship has an expiration date because she won't give up on her dream, even despite the fact that she fell in love with the perfect men for her, nor Quinn would let her do that. So how will these two ever be together? Will Alessandra come back to the US or will Quinn find another solution that makes both their lives easier? You should go and find out... ;)

This book is part of the Forbidden Desires series. It's a series about three brothers who own an Escort Agency. You can totally read this book as a standalone, I did and there weren't any spoilers from the previous books or something that you'd feel like you missed out on. However, now I do want to go read the rest of the series because Amazeballs. Definitely check this book and series out!

This was a lighthearted easy read that left me smiling and swooning. Minimal conflict, maximum sweetness.

It was a little insta-love....when Alessandra meets Quinn she only has 3 weeks left before she leaves for her dream life in Italy. They fall fast and it was a lot of steamy fun.

Alessandra is 22, a nanny, and fluent in Italian so she tutors on the side. Quinn, 38, co-owns a successful business with his brothers and has been learning Italian. From their very first meeting they're attracted to each other and Quinn's not afraid to say it out loud.
"Io sono attratto da te" I'm attracted to you, he tells me.

Is this what it's like to be flirted with by an older man? The complete confidence, the lack of expectation of compliment in return, the sincerity? My god, it's exhilarating.

This was my first read of this series and I didn't feel lost at all so it can be read as a standalone. Although now I definitely want to go back and start at the beginning to read more about the Kingsley brothers!
