Once Forbidden, Twice Tempted

This is the first story in the "Sterling Wives" series. A stand alone read that starts with the death of Jonathon Sterling dying in a car accident. He leaves his company to his two ex's and wife. This is Tara Starling and Grant Singleton's story. She wants to claim her rightful place at the company but must contend with Grant, the CEO and her ex's best friend. The lines definitely get blurred in this story. It's a captivating and intriguing story that is full on emotional depth.

I enjoyed the premise of this and the three ex-wives. It was different and added so much fun to the story. Tara and Grant have an undeniable attraction and I loved getting to see them navigate their new relationship. The characters are complex and I enjoyed getting to know them, even if they frustrated me at times. Great story! Can't wait to read the other stories coming in this series.

While this was a decent start to what I hope will be a good series, this book did not hold my attention like I had hoped. The story line and the characters were well written, but I had a hard time liking the characters. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
