Guest Review: Never Tempt Fate – Fran Lee

Christine Lange thought she’d found a white knight, only to learn there’s no such thing. And even though her world’s falling apart, she decides she can make it on her own—until a gorgeous guy appears out of the blue, offering a helping hand. Christine grabs it, pride be damned. Surely her heart will remain safe because Tonio’s gay. At least, she assumes so. Why else would a man who looks like that need a temporary wife?

Tonio needs a wife and the sexy redhead is perfect. She’s attractive, desperate…and since she doesn’t like men, there’s no danger of her falling in love with him. But Fate likes to play with those who tempt her, and an agreement to see to each other’s physical needs soon has them scorching the sheets. Christine gives Tonio her body, but it isn’t long before he realizes what he really wants is her heart.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Antonio and Christine have problems that they can help each other with. Those are the only spoilers you’re going to get from me.

Fran Lee’s “Never Tempt Fate” is extremely well written. Ms. Lee’s style is smooth, tight, and very well edited. There is a lot of detail, but it’s not excessive. You can truly picture the characters in your head. It’s easy for you to see how they look, how they dress, and even what their homes look like, right down to the drapes. It’s considered, “erotic suspense”, so there is a mystery, but it wasn’t difficult to follow. There was a nice twist toward the end that I didn’t see coming until the moment I read it (Then I slapped my forehead and said, “duh”.). The love scenes were HOT! I was completely jealous! Once again, they’re extremly detailed, but never too much. You got what you so, so needed but nothing over the top. The ending was wrapped up perfectly and left me wanting more. That’s exactly how a book should end!

I enjoyed, “Never Tempt Fate” very much. In fact, I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. I will happily recommend it to anyone, and I’m so happy to have gotten the privilege to have read this, and I will definitely be checking out more of Ms. Lee’s novels. She has quite a few, and I’m looking forward to getting to know her other characters.
