BLURB
With
a hurricane closing in on Temptation, Louisiana, Michelle Thurston fails to
convince her stubborn grandmother to leave her home on the bayou. Sheriff Gator
Landry arrives by boat, hell-bent on forcing the elderly recluse to evacuate.
He is stunned to find Michelle, who was just 16 years old when he courted her
one steamy summer.
Now, at 32, Michelle
comes face-to-face with the man whose kisses tempted her to lose control, only
this time there is no place to run. Although Gator is not about to leave the
two women defenseless, Michelle can’t help but wonder if he is more dangerous
to her than anything the storm can do.

EXCERPT
“We need to get out of these wet things,” Michelle said, crossing her arms in front of her in an attempt to hide herself. She shivered as Gator continued to stare. He still had the power to make her body go berserk when he looked at her that way. Those glittering black eyes didn’t miss a thing. It was as though he were capable of seeing past flesh and bone to her inner workings, all of which shook at the moment as violently as the tree limbs outside the window. She was certain he knew what that look did to her. He had it down to an art. And if it had had a powerful effect on her at sixteen, it was doubly so now at thirty-two.
“That’s the best idea I've heard all day," Gator said, shrugging out of his shirt. He mopped his brow and chest with it and ran it across the back of his neck.
Michelle wondered if he had any idea how sensual that simple act was. He was all rippling muscles and taut flesh. Goose pimples stood out on his shoulders and his nipples puckered from the chill in the room. His arms were lean and as brown as the rest of him. The room seemed to shrink to the size of a shoe box. Michelle had seen enough male bodies in her job to know that the one before her was one of the best she’d ever laid eyes on.
Gator would have had to be blind not to notice her perusal. The grin he shot her was brazen. “Like what you see, Mic?”

MY REVIEW
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Charming, lovely, enchanting, delightful, disarming, lovable and delightful are some adjectives that I can use for this book.
The title says it all, Welcome to Temptation, and this town is not only going to feel a hurricane...
This story is about second chances,family values, pets, and the fury of mother nature, for me it was a short read, because I couldn't put it down!! Both main characters, Michelle and Matthieu (I hate his nickname, sorry) are perfect for each other, the sexual tension between them is more dangerous than the hurricane, also their family are excellent secondary characters, for me, they bring the comedy in the story.
Summarizing, if you are up for a sweet, sexy and fun read, grab your copy!

AUTHOR Bio and Links
Charlotte
Hughes published her first category romance in 1987, a Bantam Books’ Loveswept,
titled Too Many Husbands, which immediately shot to #1 on the Waldenbooks
Bestseller list. She went on to write almost thirty books before the line
closed in 1998.
Although
Charlotte is widely known for her laugh-out-loud romantic comedies, she went on
to pen three Maggie-Award winning thrillers for Avon Books in the late
nineties, before resuming her first love, funny stories about people falling in
love. She thrilled readers with her hilarious books, A New Attitude and Hot
Shot, the latter of which won the Waldenbooks Greatest Sales Growth Achievement
in 2003.
Her books
received so many accolades that she was invited to co-author the very popular
Full House series with mega-star author Janet Evanovich.
With that series
behind her, Charlotte began her own, starring psychologist Kate Holly; What
Looks Like Crazy, Nutcase, and High Anxiety, creating a list of somewhat kooky
but always loveable and funny ensemble characters.
