Tempting Little Tease (Forbidden Desires) (Volume 4)

This was a book from the Forbidden Desire’s series that I was completely ecstatic about! I’ve been crushing on Quinn since the very beginning. He was everything I knew he was going to be. He was amazing, so big hearted and kind. He’s super playful and so incredibly sweet. Alessandra is just perfect for him! She’s so alive, so full of life and love. Sweet and sassy and just full of beautifulness! Quinn and Alessandra are so fun together and their banter of back and forth was just so darn fun.

Kendall Ryan is a favorite author of mine. Her writing continues to get better with every book she writes. This book totally upped her anty though. The additional Italian bits added were great! I felt like I was getting a little exposure to another country that I’ve never been to before. I actually had my kindle read to me for a while and hearing those Italian words spoken out loud just made me smile… this entire book made me smile. Such a quick and easy read.

So how stuffy is Quinn? When his tutor in Italian shows up as beautiful Alessandra, it seems he’s not stuffy at all. As the oldest Kingsley brother, he seems to keep himself in check more with a reserved persona. But Alessandra sparks a light in him as he is surprised by her intelligence and the immediate comfort he has conversing with her in Italian. Alessandra doesn’t expect the sexy businessman she is sent to tutor and struggles to keep her attraction to him hidden. The chemistry is wonderful between Quinn and Alessandra as they turn tutoring lessons into a few dates. The biggest challenge for Quinn is that Alessandra is headed to Italy to live and work in a few weeks. Can he let her go? Will Alessandra follow her dream and leave Quinn? There are so many fun, sexy moments with this couple, including the family dinner. I loved being swept away in their romantic journey. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

This was a super sweet insta-love story with lots of steam and surprisingly very little heartache. This was my first book in the series and thankfully it's a standalone. Tempting Little Tease was a quick and easy read I thoroughly enjoyed. Quinn was a perfect gentleman that had me swooning one minute and feverishly hot the next! I loved that Alessandra was Quinn's Italian tutor. Their playful banter was so refreshing. Alessandra only has a few weeks before she moves to Italy, something she has dreamed about, but she didn't plan for Quinn. Quinn knows Alessandra leaving is something she has to do and wants to make the most of their time together. Will Alessandra leave or will Quin find a way for them to have a future together? This an enjoyable easy ready I finished in one afternoon, I just wish it would have had a bit more slow burn and for it to be longer. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

So excited to get Quinn’s story. With this series we’ve gotten each brothers book and with Quinn being the oldest and most protective I’ve sat patiently for it. This can be read as a standalone but trust me, these men are fantastic and you’ll want to read about each of them.

Alessandra’s dream is to move to Italy. She’s finally gotten to the time where her dream is becoming real. When she is called to take over a co-workers tutoring sessions what she gets is way more then a student. With only three weeks before she is to move she meets the man that will be hard to leave behind.

Expecting to see the Tudor he’s had for two years walk in, What Quinn gets totally gets him by surprise. She’s young but sophisticated. Smart, beautiful and he can’t get her off his mind.

This is a really sweet read. Quinn is one of those characters that we swoon over. I’ve loved all these guys but Quinn holds my heart.

Since this series began, I've oooo’d and ahhh’d over both Gavin and Cooper Kingsley. But I've always been most intrigued by their older brother Quinn, and now I see why.

Quinn is the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome. His maturity and charm is overwhelming, and his sex appeal tops it ten-fold. He's successful, loving, kind, and the gorgeous packaging outside matches the inside beauty of his personality. He's perfect.

Alessandra is perfect for him. She's young, no one can refute that, but the maturity she shows softens that gap. You sometimes forget there is an age difference. She's smart, funny, and utterly charming and it's easy to see why Quinn is so enamored with her.

This story was so good. The characters compliment each other beautifully and take us on a fast paced whirlwind romance that really hits the spot. Another fantastic addition to this series.

Alessandra and Quinn kicked a$% in their romance and I am still swooning over them! Tempting Little Tease brings us Quinn's story. I always thought that because he kept to himself and was broody, he had a big bad secret behind his eyes. Nope, he was just working a lot and living minute by minute in the world.

I loved Alessandra instantly! She was sweet as pie being a Nanny and having huge dreams of wanting more. When she is unexpectedly meeting Quinn, you could feel the chemistry. I was all smiles with their interaction. My cheeks burned when their sexy moments came across the pages, and hot dayum were they off the charts!

Tempting Little Tease is a great story for Quinn! I loved him and saw that he was caring, smart, and sexy! A great package if you ask me. Alessandra was ready to take on the world and never saw Quinn coming. Together they are perfect!

Ahhh I think I've found another incredible book boyfriend. Quinn Kingsley be still my beating heart.
He is the owner of his own company and when Alessandra is his Italian tutor when the current one is taken ill, things get decidedly better for both of them.

Can they resist the undeniable connection?? Can they overcome the age difference. Isn't it true that age is only a number and it's how you feel inside what counts?
I loved this beautiful story. Italian conversation and words said that totally mean something else was rather funny, but hey you have to give the man credit for trying!!
What I loved was that the heart wants what the heart wants and do dreams actually become true or do things not live up to expectations for Alessandra??
You have to read it for yourself to find out.
A really wonderful storyline that will give you all the feels!

This book is part of a series of interconnected standalones about three brothers who own an escort sevice. Not as seedy as it sounds. This is simply classy dates for visiting wealthy businessmen, etc. This is oldest brother, Quinn's book. I have not read the others in this series which did not prevent me from enjoying this one. Although I must confess that having read this one, I do want to go back and read Gavin and Cooper's books.
This was a quick, enjoyable read. Our heroine is Alessandra. A recent college graduate with dreams of moving to Italy. She becomes an Italian language tutor for Quinn who wants to learn to speak the language. I loved their conversations with Italian sprinkled in. Nothing more romantic.
One of the main complications in this budding relationship is the age difference. Neither are blind to the obstacles presented by this. Does age really matters when you have found your soulmate? When the physical and intellectual attraction is so powerful?
Alessandra has plans in place to move to Italy. Something that has been a life-long dream. Then she meets Quinn. Will she follow through with her dream given the opportunity? You will have to read to find out.
No unnecessary angst or drama in this one. An engaging story of falling in love despite some pretty intimidating circumstances. H and h very likable characters. The brothers appear as interesting secondary characters and I will be reading their books in the near future. Two thumbs up for this latest from Kendall Ryan!

We finally get the eldest Kingsley brother's story and it was worth the wait! Quinn wants to feel connected to his roots and has been taking lessons to learn Italian. When his tutor becomes ill, fresh college graduate, Alessandra, takes his place. They click instantly and the sparks fly. Quinn hasn't dated in years and this young, sexy woman makes him want to open his heart. Alessandra has dreamed of living in Italy and is leaving soon. She falls for this sexy older man who is kind, thoughtful, and makes her feel worthy. But can she put her life on hold for something so new? Narrators Megan Tusing, and Joe Arden duplicated Quinn and Alessandra's fiery chemistry beautifully. Their banter in both English and Italian was so hot and sexy. They did an amazing job bringing these characters to life.
I really enjoyed this heartwarming, sweet and sexy romance!

Tempting Little Tease is a perfect mix of heart meltingly sweet and scorching hot. Creating a story that is so perfect you can’t put it down, Kendall Ryan has once again delivered another to add to my Ever growing list of favorites from her. This book is the definition of romance. It turned my into a big pile of swooning fan girl. I couldn’t get enough of it!

Quinn is flat out delicious. Sexy, sweet, and so freaking romantic. All other book boyfriends beware, Quinn is giving them a run for their money. I loved everything about him! The man is flawless. He can whisper sweet Italian words to me anytime. The way he was with Alessandra right form the start was divine. These two had sparks flying the second they met and Quinn didn’t even try to hide that fact. He owned it and I LOVED IT!

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of the book.

Watching the eldest Kingsley brother fall in love was a sweet treat after the drama and angst of Gavin and Emma and Cooper and Corinne. There was very little angst in Tempting Little Tease; it was more of a straight forward love story where the only challenge was the age difference... and the fact that the heroine is relocating to another continent an ocean away. Quinn and Alessandra's story was fast paced, sweet, and sexy and I was so so happy with the outcome - no games played, no miscommunications, no hesitation on either party's part to act on what they were feeling and I was ALL THERE for it! I especially love the new development in the Kingsley brothers' lives that can lead to more delicious books in this series! 4 out of 5 wine glasses.

I've been anxiously awaiting Quinn's story and Kendall did NOT disappoint!! OMG! Alessandra is filling in for someone else to teach Quinn Italian. She's definitely not expecting the man that is in front of her when she gets to his office. And he is certainly not expecting her. He knows she's too young, but the chemistry between them was palpable. Quinn is all man and definitely like no one Alessandra has ever been with before. Alessandra is juggling her nanny job, teaching Quinn Italian and preparing to leave the country. She has no time to work on a relationship, but she also can't turn him away. I ADORED their story and I couldn't pull myself away. I couldn't read this book fast enough and got lost in ALL THE FEELS! I loved this book and can't recommend it enough! Grab your copy now!

4.5 stars

I really enjoyed Tempting Little Tease by Kendall Ryan.
It's a quick, well written and steamy read that held my interest from start to end.

Quinn and Alessandra are likable, passionate characters and I loved them together.
I enjoyed watching their interactions, they made me smile and swoon and the pull they both felt from the first meeting was totally believable. I had no issue with the age difference, if anything it added to my enjoyment watching this older well established man find his soul mate in a much younger woman.
They have amazing chemistry and they warmed my heart watching them fall in love and getting their happily everafter.

Tempting Little Tease is a lovely addition to the Forbidden desires series, each book can be read as a standalone.

I absolutely love everything that Kendall Ryan writes. Tempting Little Tease is the 4th book in her Forbidden Desires series. This book tells the story of the oldest brother Quinn. He is the oldest Kingsley brother and is quiet and too busy for a relationship.

Alessandra is getting ready to live her dream of moving to Italy and teaching. She never expected to fall for the handsome older man that she ends up tutoring. Even though Quinn is much older Alessandra she can't get over her feelings for him. Will these two be able to make a long distance relationship work?

I loved the connection between Quinn and Alessandra. This book really proves that age is just a number. It wss fun catching up with the others characters from this series! I can't wait to see what Kendall is working on next!

This was a lighthearted, easy read that left me smiling and swooning. Minimal conflict, maximum sweetness.

It was a little insta-love....when Alessandra meets Quinn she only has 3 weeks left before she leaves for her dream life in Italy. They fall fast and it was a lot of steamy fun.

Alessandra is 22, a nanny, and fluent in Italian so she tutors on the side. Quinn, 38, co-owns a successful business with his brothers and has been learning Italian. From their very first meeting they're attracted to each other and Quinn's not afraid to say it out loud.

This was my first read of this series and I didn't feel lost at all so it can be read as a standalone. Although now I definitely want to go back and start at the beginning to read more about the Kingsley brothers!

wSweet and steamy! I loved this story. It was sexy and exactly what I was hoping for with this story. I have so been anticipating Quinn's story and I was definitely not disappointed. This series has been everything. I have found me fanning myself, sitting on the edge of my seat and biting my nails, swooning, and completely falling in love sometimes simultaneously. I cannot wait to see what's next. I definitely look forward to reading more from Kendall and hopefully more from this series.

Quinn, you know mispeaks without realizing it, "her mouth curves into a grin. “You asked me if I wanted to eat your ***k.” Quinn is just so caring, the man would move Heaven and Heck for his woman, "...I had to come and make sure you were okay.” Quinn has some self control, "if I wasn’t exhausted from the marathon effing we did last night, I would be making a move on her right now." I loved this book, Quinn was a heartthrob.

Another amazing read by Kendall Ryan.

I have been waiting for Quinn's story from book one.

The chemistry between Quinn and Alessandra is amazing, an immediate attraction between them. I also love the whole May to December trope so that really helped keeping my interest.

It was really straight to the point, no unnecessary drama between them. Just a great all round romance.

What a great read, from start to finish this book kept me entertained. It was light hearted and very sweet. Quinn and Alessandra make a wonderful couple, the 16 year age gap no barrier when two people instantly connect like these two do! A short but completely satisfying novel... I need to go back and read the rest of this series as the Kingsley brothers are HOT!!

I truly enjoyed this sexy read!
Quinn and Alessandra meet unexpectedly just a month away from Alessandra leaving for Italy..and Quinn is the older sexy man tempting the younger teacher ;)
It's sexy and sweet and swoony..loved it.
Also I am italian and I always favour whoever writes italian here and there..it was mostly correct so bonus points ;)

Quinn, the oldest and most mature member of the Kingsley family, is undeniably sexy. His passion and his sex appeal speak volumes. While he may be the only Kingsley brother left, that doesn't make him any less desirable.
Gavin is still and will always be my favorite, but Quinn and Cooper hold a very special place in my heart as well.

Arc for review
I am loving these Kingsley brothers! I have been waiting kind of patiently (☺️) for Quinn’s story. I enjoyed their love story so much! Alessandra didn’t seem to young for him. Her maturity and his love for her made this story come together perfectly. I can’t wait to meet their brother Will!

Sweet, fun, flirty, and sexy! Tempting Little Tease was a low-angst storyline and easy read. Hot older man hires young college grad student to tutor him Italian. Hot chemistry and romance...seriously what else can you ask for. This book was just downright fun especially when we got to fall for a swooony hero.

YES!!!!! I was so excited for Alessandra and Quinns book!
I loved it! Simply put Tempting Little Tease is that heartstopping book that will brand your heart! All why swooning along with every word and loving every delightful minute of it.
A #oneclick in the direction heck yes I need!

This story made my heart so happy! Quinn & Alessandra have not only an undeniable burning chemistry, but a beautiful and heartfelt intimacy that made me warm all over! A beautiful story with a reminder that every journey in life is sweeter with someone you love at your side.

Sweet and super sexy! I love the chemistry between these characters! I'm a sucker for books with an older man/younger woman and this one was done perfectly. Audio book narration was really well done.

This is my favorite of the Forbidden Desires series. I loved Quinn's character from the get-go and couldn't wait for his book. Alexandra was perfect for him and I loved the passion they had for each other.

Tempting Little Tease is the 4th book in this series but can be read as a standalone. Its such s sweet story and if you have read the first three its especially great that grumpy Quinn is finally happy.
Quinn Kingsley owns an escort service with his two brothers. He has spent his life looking after everyone else from his mother who was a prostitute to his two brothers. He has always put himself on the back burner until his young and beautiful Italian tutor walks through the door.
Alessandra is 22, just graduated college and is a nanny by day and an Italian tutor. She meets the very handsome Quinn when she fills in for his regular tutor. Alessandra is quite taken with the sexy older man but isn't intimidated. She has three weeks til she moves and plans to make it count.

Quinn!! We finally gets his story.

This is my favorite book of the series. It's a pretty quick read that flows well and has very little drama. It's sexy and sweet with a dash of romance and the Kingsley charm we've come to love.

I enjoyed the dynamic between the characters and the immediate chemistry. I especially like how strong Alessandra was and her commitment to her goals. The characters were very likable and the story was full of romance and swoon. A great read for a lazy weekend afternoon.

Alessandra is biding her time until she moves to Italy to become an English tutor. She is a nanny and teaches Italian as a side job. When Quinn’s regular tutor falls ill she is sent in his place. She is interested in Quinn and the feeling is very mutual.

Great twist on the student/teacher trope. Steamy story with a lot of heart. I loved seeing the other brothers and catching up with their stories. I liked how driven Alessandra was. Quinn was charming. Really enjoyable and well written story.

This story and characters drew me in from the first words spoken - I love when this happens. The characters were absolutely amazing and the story was stunning, tempting and hot.

The story was amazing - with every chapter, it kept getting better and better. So great!

Perfect for readers of contemporary romances.

These narrators were oh so amazing - they brought this tory to life, leaving me breathless and wanting more.

This is the fourth book in this series and focuses on Quinn and Alessandra. Quinn hires Alessandra to teach him Italian and these two have an insta love like no other but shes moving to Italy in three weeks there an age difference but with all that they still fell so hard. This was a quick read but I didn't feel like it was rushed it was a great story with low angst and these two falling was a beautiful thing to read. Perfect afternoon read!

Quinn, you know mispeaks without realizing it, "her mouth curves into a grin. “You asked me if I wanted to eat your ***k.” Quinn is just so caring, the man would move Heaven and Heck for his woman, "...I had to come and make sure you were okay.” Quinn has some self control, "if I wasn’t exhausted from the marathon effing we did last night, I would be making a move on her right now." I loved this book, Quinn was a heartthrob.

Quinn is my favorite Kingsley brother...he’s older, he’s wiser, he talented in so many yummy ways (wink, wink) and he’s the perfect drool worthy BBF!

There is much good to be said for an experienced man who knows his way around a woman’s body and woo baby Quinn is it! Plus the Italian he speaks is wowza hot!

A flirty, fun, smokin’ hot read with a great story and lots of panty melting swoonage!

[Book read as library loan]

I will always read Kendall Ryan books and cut my teeth on her WORKING IT series (still my fav of her books).

The concept of an older man/younger woman romance seemed very appealing and I fell into the journey of eldest, Kingsley brother QUINN (38) and college grad ALESSANDRA (22) being his substitute Italian tutor. I so wanted to be swept up in their love affair with its impending expiration date, which has Alessandra fulfilling a lifelong dream of moving to Italy permanently in a matter of weeks. Their journey was sweet, if bland, and very predictable -- especially the ending.

To some extent, both characters confusingly played against type, which threw me off a bit. As a worldly businessman and head of the family business, Quinn tended to be rather unsurefooted with a younger woman, fearing she would find him too old. This insecurity is ridiculous, given his looks and years of charming women and sexual expertise. Alessandra, on the other hand, was outwardly demure and shy around a man of Quinn's looks and stature, but inwardly the little hellcat wanted to rip his clothes off. As a college grad, she's surely had some experience with men, and thankfully wasn't a virgin. Eventually, she comes out of her shell and they tiptoe around a romance of perfect chemistry. However, the contrast of their inner thoughts and their measured approach to each other was less a tease for the reader, and more like taking bland, baby steps when we wanted some hot and heavy explosive chemistry.

Despite the nature of the family business and the monkey wrench thrown into their budding romance of Alessandra's globetrotting adventure hanging over their heads, there is virtually no conflict to how the love story plays out; and the ending is a foregone conclusion. No OM or OW, or interfering people in their lives. Nothing to stand in the way of their commitment, other than Alessandra going to Italy. Ho-hum.

Although I sometimes crave sweet, unencumbered romance without so much angst and drama, this departure was very fast and uneventful from beginning to end. I enjoyed it, but didn't love it. It didn't feel like Kendall put much thought into the romance beyond the premise. The mechanics of the romance easily mirrored any number of stories by other authors, and consequently did not stand out in any way. Mildly enjoyable, it was a one-off read for me, but should not dissuade anyone else from enjoying it to the fullest. After all, it may be author's favorite book for many readers, and I respect that.
