Book Review: Your Tempting Love by Layla Hagen

About Your Tempting Love (Book 5):

Christopher Bennett is a persuasive man. With his magnetic charm and undeniable wit, he plays a key role in the international success of his family’s company. 

Christopher adores his family, even if they can be too meddling sometimes… like when they recommend him to employ Victoria Hensley’s decorating services for his new apartment in an attempt to set him up with her. Christopher isn’t looking to settle down, but meeting Victoria turns his world upside down. Her laughter is contagious, and her beautiful lips and curves are too tempting.

Victoria Hensley is determined not to fall under Christopher’s spell, even though the man is hotter than sin, and his flirty banter makes her toes curl. But Christopher is her client, and she knows better than to get involved with clients. Besides, Victoria isn’t looking for love. After her parents’ death, Victoria is raising her much younger siblings, and she can’t afford any mistakes.

But Victoria and Christopher’s chemistry is not just the sparks-flying kind, but the downright explosive kind. Before she knows it, Christopher is training her brother Lucas for soccer tryouts and reading bedtime stories to her sister Chloe.

Victoria wants to resist him, but Christopher is determined, stubborn, and oh-so-persuasive. 

When their attraction and connection both spiral out of control, will they be able to risk it all for a love that is far too tempting?

My Review:

When I pick up a book that’s part of a series, it usually takes me a little time to remember the rest of the characters that surround the Hero & Heroine in the new book. In the case of the Bennett family, I have no such issue. I feel like I know them. Some of it may be the fact that the stories are based in the San Francisco bay area, which is my old stomping grounds, but I think it’s really that the writing is so descriptive and vivid that the family members jump out of the pages and become real.

Speaking of the family members, Pippa – who got her happily ever after in Your Forever Love (Book 3) – is matchmaking again. This time for her brother Christopher. He’s recently back from a stint abroad and wants to settle back in his hometown surrounded by the family he sorely missed.

That includes purchasing an apartment and getting it decorated, and luckily enough, Pippa just happens to “know a gal.” Cue expert Decorator Victoria Hensley, who transformed sister Alice’s restaurant into a warm and inviting space – and it’s time for little sister to work her magic between them.

After a ‘meet cute’ in the Bennett Corporation lobby, Christopher and Victoria can’t seem to refrain from flirting with each other. He admires her for her dedication to family and work, and she’s treated to his gallantry and generosity from day one. Neither of them know what to do with their instant chemistry, but soon after their meeting, they decide to acknowledge the attraction they feel.

Victoria is the caretaker for her three siblings since their parents died in a boating accident, which complicates things. Luckily, Christopher knows all about big families, so he jumps right in and finds a place in each of her family members’ hearts.

One of the things I loved about this book is that Christopher started out thinking that he didn’t want a relationship, but there was no angst associated with his feelings for Victoria. He was able to transition into a committed relationship easily – which is a lovely change of pace.

The love scenes are hot as are most of Layla’s sexy interchanges, and is a huge selling point for me. It’s a great balance of sweet and hot – with humor and banter all the way through. Hitting on all cylinders.

I don’t hesitate to recommend Your Tempting Love, and I also suggest you go back to read the first four books if you haven’t already. They’re all able to be read as standalones as well, but I’m quite sure you’ll love the Bennetts as much as I do.

I give Your Tempting Love 4.5 solid stars!
