Tempting Forever: A Contemporary, New Adult Romantic Comedy
Fresh out of a disastrous relationship, Monica Stevenson is ready to sow her wild oats and focus on her career as a chef in the city. With her twin brother marrying her best friend, love is in the air, but Monica wants nothing to do with that. However, her brother’s best friend may serve as a fun distraction for one night. Knowing he is off-limits only makes the forbidden fruit harder to resist.
As a member of high society and a business mogul, Christopher Farrington IV holds himself to the highest standards. His career consumes his world, and there is no time for love or relationships. Infrequent dates with fortune seekers to keep his mother happy are his only distraction, until the night Monica Stevenson, his best friend's fiery hot twin sister, tempts him into making the first uncalculated decision of his life.
But one night of passion turns both their worlds upside down when the consequences prove permanent. Neither of them is ready for a baby, and certainly not for the fallout. Tempers flare, passions burn, and emotions sizzle as Monica and Chris fight to gain the higher ground. But the more they fight, the further they may fall.
The line between love and hate is thin, and one wrong step could send them plummeting in either direction. But no matter which way they fall, their reality remains the same: a baby is on the way, and neither of them is prepared.
A steamy contemporary romance! This title is rated 18+ due to adult content

Outstanding is the best way to describe this book.
It’s got some of the best dialogue between characters that I’ve read, snappy, fluid, witty, and altogether satisfying.
It’s full of entertaining characters that have a real depth to their personalities, and the plot line is riveting.
I adored Chis and Monica, these two had wonderful moments and an excellent chemistry that just flows off the pages, wether loving or fighting your constantly hooked on their connection.
I loved this book and am so looking forward to more from Mia and her world.

This is book two in a series and stands alone, however, with intertwining characters many readers will devour this entire series. Delightful!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Monica Stevenson has finally had left her on and off boyfriend Steve, and is ready to focus on her career as a chef in the city. With her twin brother Brent marrying her best friend Crystal, love is in the air, but that's not what Monica wants. But her brother's best friend Chris may just be what she needs. A fun distraction for one night. I know, this is not something you do, but hey a girls gotta have fun right?
Christopher Farrington IV is a member of high society, and holds himself to the highest standards. He lives and breathes his career, and has no time for love or relationships. The only reason he dates at all is to keep his mother happy and off of his back, until the night Monica Stevenson, his best friends gorgeous twin sister, tempts him into making the first uncalculated decision of his entire life.
But one night of passion turns both their worlds upside down the way it has for many others throughout the history of mankind. Neither of them is ready for a baby, but they are getting it irregardless. Nor were they ready for the fallout. They both find themselves falling so hard for one another that they don't know how to handle it, but will this keep them together or rip them too far apart?
Mia Pride is simply fabulous. This has to be the best Romantic Comedy that I have ever read. I have never read a book that had me laughing so much in my life. I thoroughly enjoyed every word of this book. I think everybody should read this book because I bet they could find some of themselves in it. I almost spit out my ice tea when I read the part where Monica was eating chips. It doesn't get funnier then that. I give this book a high five and five stars. I also ask Ms. Pride to write faster because I can't wait to see how Amber and Tyler are going to turn out. What a book.

Monica Stevenson recently split from her ex policeman boyfriend Steve & aims to focus on her career as a chef in the city. Her twin brother Brent is marrying her best friend Crystal so love is in the air, but Monica wants nothing to do with that. However, Brent’s best friend & business partner Chris may serve as a fun distraction for one night. Knowing he is off-limits only makes the forbidden fruit harder to resist. As a member of high society and a business mogul, Christopher Farrington IV holds himself to the highest standards. His career consumes his world, and there is no time for love or relationships. Infrequent dates with fortune seekers to keep his mother happy are his only distraction, until the night Monica, his best friend's fiery hot twin sister who he's fancied for a while, tempts him into making the first uncalculated decision of his life. But one night of passion turns both their worlds upside down when the consequences prove permanent.
I’ve been waiting for the this book ever since I read Brent’s story & it didn't disappoint, well written with wonderful characters & witty banter plus sizzling attraction I was one very happy reader & devoured it in a sitting. I loved both Chris & Monica & I loved their journey to a HEA, it certainly wasn’t easy but it did make for an unputdownable read, I can’t wait for Amber’s story
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Chris and Monica’s story. Some of it I did laugh, some was truly emotional, and then some I just sighed. Monica was being judgmental but it was understandable,considering Chris’s past, and his life as socialite. He comes from a very wealthy family, and his parents wanted him to marry some day to one of their kind. You know; rubbing elbows with the rich and famous.
Chris was going to do whatever it took to prove to Monica that he wasn’t that kind of person, to prove to her he really wanted her, them, and a family.
The plot was good, and the ending yes, it’s a happy ending, and with lots of twist and turns.
Very well written.

This is an all around great story. From start to finish the author captures the reader and snares their imagination. Monica is the strong woman every girl should dream of growing up to be. She is a resilient fighter. Chris is mister cool until Monica knocks his legs out from beneath him. I love that they are both adults about everything yet they are terrified of admitting they love each other. It makes for the epic fights and even better making up. The scenes with the ex boyfriend are handled supremely well, because it shows a women willing to fight back hard when attacked by an abuser. I will definitely read the story again just to appreciate how well it is written.
