Can a woman actually make you feel like you’re losing your damn mind?
Yes.
If she is Corina Miller.
The only woman who has ever made me long for something more, and let me tell you, that has me all kinds of messed up. After months of ignoring my feelings, it’s clear to me I’ve fallen for those piercing blue eyes and sexy smile.
But is it too late?
Have I pushed her into the arms of someone else?
Hell no am I letting that happen.
I’m on a mission to win the heart of the only woman I’ve ever cared about—and the only thing standing in my way is one stubborn and pissed off Corina.
I always did like a challenge.

I followed him, my hands shaking as I grew angrier by the second. “That’s it? You’re going to let me move out?”
Mitchell reached for his keys, then turned to me. “I can’t force you to stay here, Corina. If you’re unhappy, then yes, you should leave. Do I want you to? No, I don’t. I know I fucked up, but if you’re going to throw it in my face every goddamn chance you get, then you’re right, this won’t work.”
He headed to the stairs that led down to his front door. My heart raced, and I knew I couldn’t leave it like this. Closing my eyes, I called out to him. “Mitch! You never asked me to the Pecan Street Honky Tonk.”
Stopping, he looked back up at me. “What?”
I swallowed hard and took in a quick breath. “The dance, you never asked me. And well, Lane asked me.”
Sadness swept over his face. “What did you tell him?”
Wringing my hands together, I answered, “I haven’t responded…yet. I was waiting for you.”
Mitchell rushed back up the steps and stopped in front of me. I don’t think I’d ever felt my stomach dip like it did when he raced toward me. He cupped my face and leaned in. My chest rose and fell with each breath as I waited for him to speak. His touch sent a flurry of butterflies through my chest.
“Corina, will you go with me to the street dance next weekend?”
My teeth sank into my lip, and I watched as his eyes filled with lust.
“Yes.” I smiled and added, “But only as friends.”
The corner of his mouth rose into a sexy smirk. God, how I loved that smile of his. “It’s a date, then.”
“As friends,” I added.
He leaned down and pressed his lips to mine. Before I could even process his lips, they were gone and he was stepping back. “I’ll take it. For now.”

Tempting Love is the third title in the Cowboys and Angels series, and is a second chance, small town love story features Corina Miller and Mitchel Parker. Both characters have appeared in the previous titles in the series, and I honestly wasn’t sure if I was going to love Mitchel, as much as his predecessors. His past actions left a lot to be desired, but in true Kelly Elliott fashion, by the end of this title I had found a new book boyfriend.
This pair of characters are endearing, relatable and fallible. Mitchell Parker is your eternal bachelor, he loves nothing more than a no strings attached hook-up that is until Corina Miller. This sexy cowboy has a range of fears relating to commitment and love, but is determined to win over Corina.
Corina Miller is a sweet, loyal, funny and kind, despite the fact that she is fearful of her feelings she is determined to make him work for her affections.
I adore the tight knit Parker family, and I love the way in which the previous characters are intertwined into the story, and little hints are dropped throughout that give you an idea of which of the siblings will find their happy ever after, and whom with in the future.
The Sexual tension between this pair is intense and undeniable and just oozes off the page. Tempting Love is an wonderfully written, inspiring, heart-warming story full of heat, heart, humour, drama and steam.
As much as I’ve enjoyed the previous titles in this series, I couldn’t put down Tempting Love and read it in one sitting and it’s my favourite of the series so far. I will be eagerly anticipating the remaining titles in this series, and look forward to adding them to my shelves.
