Austin and Mia stole my heart. Austin and Mia stole my heart. As hard as they both fought their attraction to one another, they eventually gave into their desire. I loved that Austin put his little girl in front of everything. And I loved that Mia came from a bad beginning, but that didn't dim who she was. She lived everyday to the fullest and always wanted to help others. Together these two were hot and Austin's daughter clinched it. She was so sweet and her interaction with Mia was priceless. This was a good read.

A great read!!. This was a good, sexy read. It drew me in from the start, and had the perfect amount of angst and drama to keep me drawn in. Mia and Austin heated up the pages in this fantastic read that I would definitely recommend!!

Mia and Austin...sigh. An exciting read that tugged at my heart strings. I could not put down Austin and Mia’s story. They were two people who were going through so much in their lives but amongst all the chaos they found each other. Austin and Mia tried to fight their mutual attraction. Austin hired Mia to be the nanny to his adorable daughter, Bailey. He knew if he acted on his feelings, he could ruin a good arrangement where he and his daughter were happy. Likewise for Mia, she knew she could not act on her attraction. Not only because of their working relationship but also because she knew Austin and her wanted different things in life. She wanted marriage and children and after being burnt by his ex, Austin wanted nothing to do with either or things including love. Can these two work through their differences while dealing with the chaos in their lives and find the love they both deserve? It was sure as heck fun to find out. Five fabulous stars for this read.

I loved the twists .... I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a typical HEA, but I loved the twists that were in it. I don't want to give anything away, but the ex-wife and ex-boss wreaked havoc in Austin and Mia's lives. I enjoyed seeing one of them getting their due. Now to see how they make a family ...

Good guys don’t always finish last.... Tempt Me By: Carly Phillips ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review by Kristie K Good guys don’t always finish last, as Carly Phillips proves with her newest release… Tempt Me is a captivating tale of a single father, badly burned by the mother of his child and determined not to make himself or his daughter vulnerable by getting involved with a woman…no matter how tempting she may be. Austin Rhodes is a wonderful father, with a heart of gold, and a body for sin. His only apparent weakness is his daughter…until he hires a gorgeous new nanny that has his blood boiling, and his pants tenting. Mia Atwood grew up in foster care from the age of six, and put herself through college, but finding her true calling as a nanny. Her love for children and desire for a family of her own only fuel her passion for her job. When her most recent charge is a precocious six year old that captures her heart, and a boss that threatens to do the same, nothing can prepare her for the roller coaster she’s on. Carly Phillips delivers another incredible tale of desire, loss, fear, and hope with Tempt Me. While a popular genre at the moment, Ms. Phillips is able to add twists and turns that make this tale as unique as the characters she creates. I absolutely adore Austin, both as a father, a son, and as a man. Such a genuine man, with a heart as big as Texas, and a protective streak just as wide. His fears aren’t unfounded, but genuine, and his vulnerabilities are refreshing. Mia is everything I would want in a nanny, a friend, a sister, or a mother. She is a beautiful soul, with a heart full of love for those in her life. Always putting others first, especially the child she is in charge of, Mia is a truly extraordinary human being. The tension between Austin and Mia is nearly unbearable, and the push and pull that follows is both heartbreaking and beautiful. These characters believe in honesty with each other, which is both refreshing and a little…surprising? Most authors crank up the drama, where Carly Phillips just cranks up the real. A truly intoxicating read that I truly enjoyed from the beginning to end. Kristie K

Tempting and satisfying.... This book was a great read and couldn’t put it down. Finished it in two hours. Loved the storyline and even though their pasts were coming back to test them both, it was nice to see love prevails, even when u keep trying to hide it.

Really enjoyed this book!!!. Tempt Me is book 2 in the Bodyguard Bad Boys series. I loved this book!! This is Austin Rhodes and Mia Atwood's story. Austin works for Alpha Security and Mia is the live in nanny for his daughter Bailey. Austin was severely burned by his ex-wife and isn't looking for anything. Mia lost both her parents at a young age, lived in foster care until she was went to college and is looking for her HEA. When the past comes up to bite them both, they turn to each other for comfort. As I said I loved this book. The characters were very enjoyable, there was great chemistry between them, and I really enjoyed the storyline. Austin is an alpha male, with a high risk job and loves and dotes on his daughter-- he also has sole custody of his daughter. Mia is a strong intelligent woman, that is always positive and thinks of and takes care of others before herself. I really liked them together as a couple. There were some nice twists in the storyline that I enjoyed. Don't continue reading unless you want some of the story given away. **SPOILER** **SPOILER** **SPOILER** **SPOILER** **SPOILER** **SPOILER** One thing that I really was hoping to read at the end which the author didn't do was talk about when Austin and Mia told Bailey and his parents that they were pregnant. I don't know why I felt like this was something important, but to me it was. Just my opinion. Can't wait for the next book in the series!! Hope this helps! Happy Reading!!!

Tempting!. I love a good love story! Austin and Mia’s story is definitely THAT story! Austin has been there, done that and was never doing it again. He was burned by a woman, but he would never regret his sweet little Bailey. Mia never had the family she wanted but knew in her heart that her time would come. Until she had her own, she would care for and nurture little Bailey and stay away from Bailey’s sexy dad! Throw in the fact of him being an awesome bodyguard just when she needs one and she was finished before it started. Love the bodyguard series and Tempt Me is another example of Carly taking an ordinary situation and bringing out the best in everyone.

Temp Me. Lined the story or MIA, Austin and Bailey. Ned more ❤️❣️

Tempt me. Good story. Easy reading. I liked it

Loved this book so much!!!. Tempt Me is a single dad/nanny story and Carly Phillips did an absolutely perfect job with it. This sexy stand-alone romance, which is part of The Bachelor Bad Boys series, pulled me in from the very first page. Austin was burned badly by his ex-wife and has no plans to every have another long-term relationship with anyone other than his daughter Bailey. However, he didn't plan on Mia Atwood, his daughter's nanny entering his life. I loved that both Austin and Mia pretty much were attracted to one another from the moment she started working as Bailey's nanny, yet they both always put Bailey's needs first. Books with kids can sometimes take away from the romance, but Ms. Phillips did an amazing job establishing Bailey's character without over powering the romance between Austin and Mia. In fact I think part of what helped Austin to feel more comfortable with Mia was how she always put Bailey's needs first. I thought the slow burn to Austin and Mia being together totally fit with his past and Mia working for Austin. I don't know if it would have been as believable to me if they both didn't delay getting together. I was so glad when they finally gave into their attraction and made love. They had seriously smoking hot chemistry and it only grew stronger the more time they spent together. I have to say I absolutely loved how protective Austin was of Mia once they got together. He always was protective of his daughter and it just showed even before Austin was willing to admit his feelings for Mia that he had already fallen hard. I loved watching this strong and complex man fall so hard for the first time in his life. I loved seeing Austin, Mia, and Bailey become a real family. Tempt Me is another winner in the Bachelor Bad Boys series. While it can totally be read as a stand-alone story, I see no reason to skip out on Rock Me first to meet all the other characters in the series. Rating: 5 Stars (A) Review copy provided by publisher

Temptation explored..... I always enjoy reading Carly Phillips’ books. Tempt Me did not disappoint. Super sweet and smoke’n hot. The depth of characters and story are always interesting, expressive, and consistent throughout the book. Austin and Mia have one focus, providing a caring and safe environment for Austin’s daughter Bailey. Over time they learn more about each other and come to realize they have more in common than just caring for Bailey. While one could argue that an employer/employee relationship may have moral implications, this one only crossed that line after both single unattached parties consented to a physical relationship. Even in the face of danger and unknown circumstances doing the right thing matters to both of them. Thank you for another great read!

More Bad Boys!. Austin Rhodes’ entire life is his daughter. Hiring Mia Atwood as his nanny was the perfect choice. Unfortunately the chemistry he feels for her is completely unwanted. Mia just wants a family to love and sadly falling for Austin is not what she wants but can’t help it. Time for Austin to realize Mia is exactly what he and Baily need the most.

So tempting 💖. I just loved this book. Austin, Mia, and Bailey were so well written, it was hard not to fall in love with them. The plot had a good amount of suspense when it came to the things that were troubling Mia and Austin. And little Bailey Button was just the cutest little thing. I really enjoyed the connection between the characters. Austin and Mia’s connection to each other grew at a good rate that had me quickly turning the pages to see what happened next. The way both Austin and Mia reacted to Bailey warmed my heart, and the little girl really stole the show. This was a fantastic read, with everything I love about Carly Phillips books.

Love the book!. I just feel like it was a little bit of a cliff hanger...

second chance love story centered around a great single dad!!. Mia and Austin are bound to be a favorite couple for many, and although I liked their story it wasn't my favorite. Don't get me wrong, I am still very happy to have read it and I enjoyed it, I just didn't feel the connection many do. Austin is "older" than Mia and although we know is a slight issue somehow it gets swept away and its not dealt with.They both have troubles from their past as part of their story but then both issues get resolved so quickly it felt like a 60 min cop show, too neat, too fast for me. Even with these issues it is hard not to fall in love with Austin, a single dad who clearly sees his daughter as his number one priority and Mia, a live in nanny who would do anything for this little girl. really enjoyed getting to know Austin and his daughter Bailey was absolutely adorable

Sweet, sexy read!. I love falling into a Carly Phillips book and this one did not disappoint! Who doesn't love a delicious dad needing a nanny? ;) Sure he's attracted to her, but he knows better than to try anything with Mia. And Mia knew the father-daughter bond Austin had with Bailey was something special and she wasn't about to mess anything up. She knew he was attractive, but she was just there for a job. She fell in love with Bailey and would do anything for that little girl! But of course, the sexual tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Watching their attraction was sweet, sexy and oh-so-enjoyable. But, there was an element of danger involved in their lives. I enjoyed waiting to see what would come of that. This book held me captive and kept me on my toes. All around very enjoyable read! Grab your copy today!

Sweet happy endings. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I am a huge Carly fan and this story did NOT disappoint me in my expectations. Mia and Austin have an amazing story of finding their HEA. Mia is a very strong character. She lost her mother to cancer at a very young age and was brought up in the foster system. But she doesn’t let that define her in anyway. Austin was burnt by a sleazy woman who trapped him by getting pregnant and then leaving him with the child when things didn’t go her way. He has plans to never trust a woman again. Mia makes that very hard because she is amazing with his daughter and puts everything about his daughter first. A little drama throws him into protection mode and being her 24/7 security. It also gives him a lot of alone time with Mia and time to realize that maybe a future is not out of their reach. Absolutely loved this from page one and will always one click books by this author. I did receive a copy of this book from author. I am voluntarily leaving a review.

Excellent. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Mia is an orphan and loves children, so she becomes a nanny. Her last job her boss was doing illegal dealings. Mia saw and recorded it and help send him to jail. Now she’s a nanny for Bailey, Austin’s little girl. Austin works for Ace Security as a bodyguard and has promised himself never to marry again. His first wife got pregnant on purpose and he married her but she ran off. Now he’s raising his daughter with the help of Mia. The attraction between them sparks and they keep their distance at first but finally give in to it. She knows how he feels about marriage so she breaks it off. But Bailey’s mother is back and wanting money or custody and Austin will do anything to keep that from happening. Mia finds out her old boss is having a retrial and she has to testify again but someone is threatening her not to. Can Austin protect his heart and Mia too? Excellent story. Well told, with characters who are almost real with real problems. Sexy. A cute little girl, a handsome guy and a strong beautiful woman. Crazy ex’s.

Great Read. Another great book by Carly Phillips. Tempt Me was a single daddy/Nanny romance. Book 2 of the bodyguard Bad Boys series follows Austin and Mia! I love the two, they have amazing chemistry and you could definitely feel the sexual tension between them. Definitely loved Bailey, the sweetest little girl that will melt your heart! Adding a great storyline that keeps you on your toes.

Who was tempted more?. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book and I bought it. Because anything by Carly Phillips is a keeper. Great story. I couldn't stop reading. Austin, had been burnt by an ex who deliberately tricked him into marriage by getting pregnant. Then she wanted out because she said she wasn't meant to be a mother so she settled for cash, as many times as he would give it to her, threatening to take him to court to sue for custody (you know she didn't want it).Austin was worried she could convince a judge though. He swore he was done with marriage and relationships. Then he kinda fell for his daughter's nanny Mia. She believed he wanted only casual. As attracted as she was to him, she realized she couldn't do casual. Now what? Would Austin ever realize the deeper feelings he had for Mia? Before he lost her? Someone was after Mia! The ex? Her old boss? Loved this story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Austin will make you swoon!. Absolutely loved it!! 5 + Stars!! The story line is really great and the characters are so likable and charming. Austin Rhodes & Mia Atwood have sizzling chemistry and are simply perfect together! His little girl Bailey is so adorable and my heart just broke for her a few times. There are some hurdles to jump; like Austin’s reluctance to have a relationship because of what his crazy ex wife put him through and the continued shenanigans of said ex wife. On the other side of it you have Mia not wanting to strain their friendship or the fact that she is his nanny so she worries about the future of her employment as well as his daughter Bailey if things don’t work out for them. Austin & Mia have some very hot and sexy encounters that they try to keep to sex only but neither one can keep their feelings out of it for long. Do they have what it takes to make this work? Will their love prevail? This is a wonderful story that you don’t want to miss! I’m loving this new series so much!

4 HEART-MELTING STARS!. Swooooon!!! Carly Phillips inflamed my heart in TEMPT ME! I was giddy with excitement to dig into this smolderingly sexy Bodyguard Bad Boys romance because I am a sucker for a heart-tugging single daddy tale! And since I have never read a book from Ms. Phillips involving children, I was curious to see how this author would spin this forbidden romance revolving around a devoted father who is disillusioned by love yet can’t resist the sweet temptation of his precious little girl’s nanny. Well the verdict is in...Ms. Phillips NAILED IT. Big time! MY THOUGHTS: TEMPT ME is the second scintillating book in Ms. Phillips Bodyguard Bad Boys series, but can definitely be read as a standalone, and it hooked me from page one! There was an intoxicating sweetness to this swoon-worthy romance that I found utterly irresistible and that coupled with the high stakes drama and sizzling sexy times made for a totally unputdownable tale! I enjoyed EVERYTHING about this combustible, fast paced romance —the irresistible, forbidden attraction between the MCs, the palpable push-pull, the high stakes drama, and of course darling little Bailey! Sighhh…there is just something about a big, manly guy who turns into a pile of mush around his beloved little girl that makes my ovaries ache!!! “Bailey Button” just MELTED MY HEART and I savored the little chatterbox’s interaction with her doting daddy and her nurturing nanny! I think Ms. Phillips did a fantastic job of balancing the romance and danger with the family elements, and I truly appreciated how this enamored duo were always mindful of how a relationship between them could affect little Bailey if their feverish lust ended up burning itself out one day. Of course the chances of that happening were pretty much nil! As far as heroes go, Austin was PURE ALPHA MALE HOTNESS! Tall, dark and handsome, with big broad shoulders and lickable tats, he is the ULTIMATE PROTECTOR, an amazing father and ohhhhhh my does he know how to satisfy his woman in the sack! I loved his sweet and chivalrous side as well as his deliciously dominant side, and holy smokes…he was just the total package!! I also really dug Mia! As with all of this author's heroines, she is EXTREMELY relatable. This blond-haired, green-eyed beauty has plenty of upheaval in her life, but despite everything she has endured, she has not let it define her. She is kind, compassionate, warm and caring, the kind of woman/mother figure that a fiercely protective single dad like Austin would do anything for! This couple has a ton of rooting value. I relished their tender, soul-deep, connection, their tantalizing romantic sparks, and the sex was scorching hot! And despite their many obstacles, there was a natural ease and honesty that shone through in all their scenes together that made me love them all the more! Bottom Line: Carly Phillips delivered the goods big-time with TEMPT ME. New and longtime fans alike are in for quite a scrumptious treat with this sweet, sexy, utterly irresistible single dad romance that’s left me deliciously satisfied, blinking back tears of joy, and beaming in delight!

Extremely tempting. Mia is a nanny that is a live in nanny taking care of Bailey, Austin little girl. Mia and Austin both agree that they need to keep the relationship professional even though they have chemistry. Austin’s ex wife shows ups trying to blackmail money from him even though he has sole custody. Mia also has her past employer making trouble for her because she helped put him in jail. Austin tries to protect everyone and the start a relationship for the time that they are holed up together but can it really work out there. These three people are great. Between the way they try to protect Bailey and each other is great. This was such a great read I could not put this book down. One of my favorites from Carly Phillips. This is a great series.

Floved it. What an amazing storyline. Twists and turns and love and heartache around every corner. There seemed to be no end to the surprises in the story and I hope to read more from the security firm. Carly is a one click author for me, and this story held up to what I expected to find in her work

A Great Read. 5 star review Tempt Me (Bodyguard Bad Boys #2) by Carly Phillips Where do I start? This is a single father/nanny story about Austin Rhodes, Mia Atwood and an adorable little girl names Bailey (whom I loved). I love alpha males who are strong, sexy and protective, throw on a cute little girl who just about melts my heart and I knew I was in for one awesome read. Both Austin and Mia have fought their attraction for each other, neither wanting cross the line. They share sizzling hot looks and on occasion, some stolen kisses, so can they keep the chemistry between them from exploding particularly since neither of them really want to hold back.? When Mia’s past comes back to haunt her, Austin knows that he must step in and protect not only her but his little girl Bailey. He is protecting on so many fronts, not just Mia’s past but his own as his ex-wife seeks to get custody when her plan to extract more money from him is met with no success. Not only does he have to protect Mia but he needs to protect Bailey from the mother she doesn't know and who doesn't really want her, unless it is as a pawn in her revenge against Austin. The characters were easy to relate to and the steaminess when it occurred, off the charts as Austin and Mia sizzled together. This was one of those books I just didn’t want to put down or have end. This book runs the gauntlet of emotions and when you add in the suspense and danger it is truly a great read. Ms. Phillips has written a story where the characters are strong and well written (Bailey is so cute she almost steals the book) and I will admit I was extremely sad when I finished the book.  

Loved it. Book 2 in the Bodyguard Bad Boys Series and for me this series is getting better with each book, I mean what’s not to love about a single dad who also happens to be a hot bodyguard. Austin Rhodes is never doing relationships again the only girl in his life is his adorable little girl Bailey, but he needs a live in nanny and when Mia Atwood takes the job and moves he finds himself struggling to not cross any lines. Mia loves her job and she adores Bailey so she doesn’t want to do anything to jeopardise her job but the attraction and sizzling chemistry is hard to resist. Will these two cross the line and risk it all .... guess you need to read the book to find that out. Carly Phillips certainly knows how to give us characters to fall in love with but once you add in an adorable little girl who has some great one liners you get the perfect story. I read this book in one sitting I was drawn in by the storyline and the strong personalities of all the characters, I needed to know how this love story ended. This book has the perfect mix of romance, passion, angst and a few twists to keep you turning the pages and if you love romance you will want to one click this book.
