Too Much Temptation

This was my first experience with Lori Foster (even though I discovered since this reading I had several books sitting unread with novellas she'd written in collection style books). I picked up Too Much Tempation at my local bookstore after reading the back cover. I am so thrilled I gave this book a chance.This story is about Noah Harper (Gorgeous, rich and not exactly at the best place in his life romantically, you'll find that out in the book). Now, enter Grace Jenkins (Plump, insecure in her appearance and totally in love with Noah Harper who she worships from afar). Grace is a fun character she knows what she wants, but at times doesn't go about it as she probably should. It's fantastic to find Grace, the non-typical female lead character she's plump as I mentioned and she knows it, I loved that I could relate to her. Her emotions of what someone who isn't a Size 2,4,6 considers when looking for love had me cheering her on! She's funny and her interactions with Noah and his half brother Ben (also gorgeous and single making me eager for the next book Never Too Much) had me laughing at times.This book is just what I was looking for in a romance with great heat. I couldn't wait to find out what would happen with Grace and Noah. Their chemistry was great and gave me the little emotional tugs a good romance can give it warms you up and lightens your day.And this book doesn't end at the bedroom door fade out scene, which I am happy to find along with a story I enjoyed.Now, I'm hooked on Lori Foster I've read several more of her books since this reading.

Finally, an author has written a romance novel featuring a large woman who actually seems to be a LARGE woman, not the typical 10 pounds overweight "large" woman of much modern romantic fiction. Lori Foster gives us a heroine named Grace who is shy and uncertain of herself as a woman because of her looks. Who hasn't been there? Then, because this IS a romantic fantasy, Foster gives her (and we lucky readers)the perfect man in Noah: handsome, virile, and kind, he's actually attracted to both her sweet nature and her full figure. Did I mention this was a romantic fantasy?...the scene where he awakens with a hangover and sees a very large white cotton bra made me laugh out loud. The scene where she is ashamed to reveal her dress size for the waitress uniform will resonate with any plus size female who's had to work in the fast food or maid service industry during college. The scene where Noah catches her in her too-snug uniform and teases her out of it will make you wish those things happened in real life.The plot is slight, but Foster infuses it with genuinely funny scenes and some very hot [moments] between Noah and Grace. He's insaitable, she's always well-pleasured, and the reader gets busy dog-earing pages!

There is only one word that kept coming to my mind while reaing TOO MUCH TEMPTATION, that word was WOW! This book deserves a higher sensuality rating than 10. I thought Caught in the Act was good until a friend gave me TMT to read.Grace and Noah were the perfect couple and they sizzled on every page. Just from the eye contact between the two, you knew there would be red hot passion when they came together. Even though Grace was a virgin, she had loved Noah since she first laid eyes on him. Grace wasn't model thin and she thought therefore not perfect, so she never expected Noah to even look at her twice. Boy did she have it wrong. Noah being the man that he was let her know repeatedly and in every way imaginable that he liked her just the way she was, not skinny not fat but beautifully voluptuous and he wanted to taste and experience every inch of her. (pant, pant)This story was not only sexy it was funny. Thanks in part to Noah's equally handsome brother, Ben.Just let me say this, BUY THE BOOK! Once I started, there was no putting it down. There was not a dull page in the entire book! That's right 280 pages of sheer entertainment. Alright Ms. Foster, when are we going to get Ben's story? I can just imagine the type woman to finally capture his eye and his heart. Let it be soon. Okay?

Lori Foster just continues to get better and better, and in Too Much Temptation she delivers another 100% read. Grace Jenkins is a lady who alot of us can relate to; she's not perfect! She's shy, she feels like she's overweight, she's not completely satisfied in her job, and she has the hots for her boss's grandson (who just happens to be engaged) in the worst sort of way. She thinks Noah wouldn't notice her if she walked around naked! Noah Harper is the perfect grandson--he runs his grandmother's business, is engaged to a woman his grandmother loves, and pretty much falls in with his grandmother's every wish. Until he finds his oh so perfect fiancee cheating on him! Then he starts thinking about it--did he ever really ask her to marry him, or did they just fall into it? He feels relief that he's not caught in the relationship anymore, instead of the despair he should be feeling. But his grandmother is not happy when she hears he's cut off the engagement!!Grace, being the wonderful person she, rushes to Noah to offer her comfort and her support--never dreaming that while she's there, and inebrieated Noah will clue her into some fantasies he's been having about her?! This leads to Grace and Noah embarking on a sensual journey to experience anything and everything they can--but it will only be sex. Lori WOW's us with this story--it starts out with a bang, and doesn't let up for the entire story! Noah and Grace just ignite sparks off one another, and there is real emphasis on Noah liking Grace just the way she is. You can feel their relationship with one another build, and the SEX! Wow--it is sexy, sensual, and sweet. Her charachters are so real, true to life that they could walk off the page, and I wouldn't be suprised. While she has this wonderful, macho hero, she shows us his vulnerabilities, and his struggle to find the right answer within himself. I loved every second of this book, and can't wait for the sequel for the brother, Ben, who contributes some very witty dialogue!! Way to go, Lori!!! Don't pass this book up, folks! This is a keeper!! ...
