Tempt Me Like This: The Morrisons (Volume 2)

I feel there are many wonderful parts to this story. Reading a book of a series is more engaging than a stand alone. A reader can get a feel for a wider picture than just the couple. That being said, in my opinion, the book lacks in two main categories.

1) The conflict is resolved in a tremendously short time. While time is never mentioned specifically, I find it difficult to that two people can fall in love so quickly.

2) While the internal conflict of the characters is crafted quite nicely, I find it hard to believe that a virginal 22 year old woman can make her way through the music industry flawlessly.

I did appreciate the story movement along with the dialogue, (both internal and external). One theme that I really identified with was leaving parental rules behind while stepping out into the world.

Tempt Me Like This is a very nice, easy to read book.

I honestly tried to get through this book, but the characters were so dull. Everything about this novel is cliche. The romance aspect was so rushed it seemed like insta love. Wouldn't recommend to those who want actual substance. It wasn't entirely bad, just not good.

Drew Morrison , Rock Star falls hard for nerdy and brilliant Ashley Emmitt. She is traveling with Drew for the summer for her music thesis.
I love how the author has entwined Sullivans to the Morrisons in the story. Lighthearted romance to read in a park, pool or beach on a balmy summer day.

Bella Andre never fails to disappoint. In the second book to the Morrisons series, TEMPT ME LIKE THIS is a sweet burn between Drew Morrison and Ashley Emmit.

When Ashley doesn’t get accepted in her first-choice school, she pulls some strings and lands herself on tour with the biggest rock star. But she doesn’t actually expect to get up close and personal with Drew quite like this. When they begin to share a tour bus together, it’s game over. Ashley cannot resist Drew’s charm any more than she is able to enjoy his music. Both become inspired by one another and Andre weaves a sweet tale that will no doubt sweep reader’s off their feet.

What I like about Andre’s writing is that you always know what you are getting. Although this is a New Adult series, Andre keeps to her brand of heroes. She likes them sweet and charming, with that mysterious edge that makes them so irresistible. It’s why all her heroes to date have been so fun and delicious. She just knows how to cater to her readers.

This also isn’t Andre’s first time writing about rockstars. Her Sullivans series feature a couple of famous people as well but I think the real inspiration comes from Andre’s own experience as a musical artist. It’s nice to see how she is able to incorporate those experiences into her books as I think it gives it something more to look forward to.

I’ve been really enjoying this series and cannot wait to see what else is in store for the Morrisons!

Bella Andre surprises me every time that I read one of her books. Ashley and Drew’s story definitely bordered on Adult. And, if it wasn’t for their ages, it was hot enough to definitely have made it into that genre.

Strong, sexy, loving … a musician with a heart of gold … a man with more passion than he can put into words. Drew Morrison is the proverbial rock star surrounded by beautiful woman and a family that will support him in all his endeavors. The lyrics and music have gone since the loss of his mom. Then Ashley enters his life bringing back the sunshine, the music … gives him the courage to follow his heart and not give up on the kind of music that is just itching to come out.

Shy, bookworm, analytical Ashley can’t believe that she will be with the one man that she has had a crush on forever. Touring with Drew to learn the music business is a chance of a lifetime, now to tame her libido and concentrate on getting into Stanford.

What neither of them counted on was, not only the physical attraction, but the emotional attachment that blossomed between them. They grew, they found their inner strengths and, together, fought their weaknesses and fears. When they did come together, it was explosive and one of the hottest scenes I have read in a long time.

Bella, no matter the genre, writes characters that are totally endearing yet hot, sexual and strong … both in spirit and in inner strength. She crosses the line between the Sullivan’s and Morrison’s with ease, brings them together when needed but still writes a unique and totally captivating story totally separate and different from previous stories. It amazes me that she can continue the stories of both families with new, fresh ideas and story lines. Each book can be read as a stand-alone but you would be missing out on some beautifully written, loving books that will totally put a smile on your face and a song in your heart.

Review copy provided for an honest review.

This book is like a beautifull gift box, that you don't want to share...but you must spread the pleasure that it will bring to you! If you think the Sullivans are something, wait till you meet the Morrisons!!!! This is the story of Drew Morrison, Rock Star, all around good guy and Ashley Emmitt daughter of Drew's ex-teacher. The push-pull attraction that you feel is so stong that you can't miss it. He promises to protect her and she tries to resist. I don't want to spoil it ,but the emotions are plenty and powerfull.

Ashley wanted to get into the music business. Her father made arrangements for her to go on tour with one of his former students Drew. Drew had promised his old professor that he would watch out for and protect Ashley. Little did he know, it would himself that he needed to protect her from. Ashley had had a crush on Drew since he first started. She thought since they were nothing alike it could never work out. Drew was very patient, almost too patient.

Another Bella Andre weaving of words for a magical story. She never disappoints.

Lovely story, beautifully written. I think Bella Andre has a special gift for writing. I love how she keeps intertwining the stories from The Sullivans into The Morrisons. Her style of writing is so good that I can see what she is describing. And the steamy scenes... awesome!
