He was her first: the first man she longed for, the first man she truly desired. Then he betrayed her and broke her heart. Now her revenge will be oh-so-sweet . . . and hot!
Trish Henderson has returned home to Eden to take care of some family business . . . and some personal business, as well. Though she's achieved remarkable success as a high-powered Chicago attorney, Trish has never forgotten her small-town high school sweetheart, Joe Ramsey, or the devastation of heartbreak.
Now she's come face-to-face with the gorgeous sex god Joe has grown into, and she's determined to get him out of her system once and for all-and maybe take a little revenge, too. And this time, she has all the power. After all, where is it written that only men can explore and enjoy a physical relationship without commitment? Her plan: seduce him for just one night, then walk away . . .
But there's just one problem. Trish is about to find out that one night with Joe may never be enough . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars
5 Klovers - Courtesy of CK2S Kwips & Kritiques,
By Jennifer Ray (Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Tempt Me Tonight (Paperback)
It's been fourteen years. The only reason Trish has returned home is to help her parents sell the family business. Once they've settled into retirement, she'll return to her life in Chicago and her job as a high-profile lawyer. The very last thing she wants to do while in Eden is to run into her old boyfriend, Joe Ramsey. Yeah, that Joe Ramsey - the one who broke her heart all those years ago.
But run into him she does, and way too soon for comfort. Seeing the sexy man Joe has grown into just once brings out the inner biker chick she never even knew she had. Trish can't ignore the feelings she still has for Joe, but she can never trust him again, so she decides on the only sane course of action - love him and leave him. Take what she wants and have her revenge while indulging that inner biker chick. If only it were that simple... Neither Joe nor her heart will let her off that easily! When the synopsis for Tempt Me Tonight landed in my email box, I knew it sounded interesting, but having read the book now, I do not believe any mere blurb could do this story justice. The depth of emotion and heartbreak Blake conveys with the simplest strokes of her keyboard go far beyond mere words and strike into your very soul. I've never read Toni Blake before, but with one single title, she has made it onto my list of favorite authors on my website. Indeed, I am very excited that I have another of this author's titles already waiting on my book shelf for review next month. The heroine, Trish, resonated with me on so many levels. If a Word document could be tear stained, I guarantee you this review would be. I cried many times - in all the right places, and from several different emotions. Trish's heartbreak and inability to easily trust love - especially with the very man who devastated her so many years ago was something I could identify with. To be perfectly frank, I wasn't sure Blake could find a way to resolve Trish's feelings regarding Joe in a way that would satisfy the cynic in me. Not only did Toni Blake manage to resolve those feelings, she did it in such a way that I found myself reevaluating my own romantic tenets and wondering about past boyfriends who I was unwilling to give second chances to after major break-ups. Trish is so full of fear, which is in direct conflict with her need to be loved and to love Joe with everything she has. In truth, she never stopped loving him, and the pent-up emotion finds its way to the surface in a torrent of passion that is unstoppable. Of course, who would really want to stop it when it makes for such a fantastic read? LOL Joe is something unexpected - a hero who totally screwed up the first time around, but is willing to face his mistakes and will do anything to make restitution and win Trish's heart and trust all over again. Sound like a pushover? Not Joe - no sirree. Joe is every bit the strong alpha-male type with the ability to sweep both Trish and the reader off their feet with just a crook of his little finger. What I look for in a great book is characters I can believe and empathize with as well as a story that rings true. Tempt Me Tonight is not only all of those things, but is also a book that leaves me searching my own soul and heart wondering how to remove at least a few bricks in my own walls. When a book not only evokes deep emotions in me but prompts a willingness to change, it is a book I know I will treasure for years to come.

Just wonderful,
By
This review is from: Tempt Me Tonight (Paperback)
The previous reviewers have done a very good job describing the plot of this novel so I won't repeat it here.
I discovered Toni Blake about a year ago when I read and loved In Your Wildest Dreams. I quickly grabbed her other books wondering if that book was just a one-shot deal or if all her books were that good. And yes, all her books are that good, though until I read this book, I thought that In Your Wildest Dreams was my favorite book. However Tempt Me Tonight is now easily my favorite Toni Blake book. Second chance at love books like this one can be tricky - can the author create a situation where the original reason for the breakup is understandable (as opposed to a situation where you think - if only these two would talk, there wouldn't be a problem). Also, can the author resolve the original problem so that it makes sense that these two are now together? Tempt Me Tonight is a success at both of these. This is a pure romance novel. There's no mystery or villian - the hero isn't a Navy SEAL, spy, or what have you - he's just an auto mechanic. The heroine isn't anyone special just an attorney - an ordinary woman who's heart was broken by the hero when she was young. The author does a wonderful job describing each character's viewpoint and pain. The characters are so believable that you feel their heartache. And even Beverly, the woman at the root of the heartbreak, comes off as sympathetic. Not an easy thing to do. This is one of those books that I read the last chapter over and over cause I just loved the ending. Tempt Me Tonight is a book that I can see myself reading again and again - it's just that good.

Hot and Sweet !,
By Renka N. (Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tempt Me Tonight (Paperback)
If you liked SWEPT AWAY, you will love TEMPT ME TONIGHT!
Toni Blake has proven again that she possesses a well-honed ability to set fire to the page, while keeping the sweetness intact. Trish Henderson, a high-powered attorney, harboring a small town heart, returns home after many years to find the boy, who broke her heart, has transformed into every woman's dream. Joe Ramsey is a devastatingly sexy man. The powerful attraction between them is stronger than ever and Trish is determined to change the rules this time around. She will be the seducer and take some revenge, but walking away from Joe proves to be harder than she thought. She's caught in her own sensuous net, made even more difficult to untangle as her ambitions become clearer. Joe is prepared to do whatever it takes to make her his and the reader is even happier to go along for the ride. This story is filled with passion and heart and the warm feelings linger long after the last page is turned. Toni Blake writes powerful, emotionally charged sexy books, she can even make cupcakes sexy! I'll eat cupcakes with Joe all night long! I can't wait for her next book!
