ARC BOOK REVIEW: Once Tempted (Silver Creek #1) by Laura Moore

Once Tempted (Silver Creek #1) by Laura Moore
Genres: Western, Contemporary Romance
Publication Date: Mar 26, 2013
My Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
Oldest son Ward Knowles feels the sprawling California ranch in his blood. And now that the family business has expanded to include a popular resort, he’s working harder than ever. Silver Creek is his legacy and his life, which is fine for the ruggedly sexy ladies’ man and committed bachelor. Love and trust don’t come easily for Ward since he lost his heart to a gold digger—until he meets a shy, unpretentious beauty whose sweet grace is about to turn his jaded heart into a hungry one.

Tess Casari has found sanctuary at Silver Creek, working as an assistant to Ward’s mother, Adele. Grateful for her busy new life running the ranch’s spa and resort, Tess can escape the heartbreak, humiliation, and secret shame of her failed marriage. The last thing she needs is temptation—especially from a man who reminds her so much of the husband who shattered her faith in love. But passion and destiny are about to change the rules for two people who have stopped believing in the healing power of love.
 

My Thoughts

Holy smokes! Love the cover! I'm a cover slut (not afraid to say it!) and damn.. this book cover had me drooling! I love, love the cowboy cover and my god, the abs! lol.

Okay, the story started out pretty slow and boring that I was tempted to drop it and find something else to read, but glad I didn't- because the story becomes better. Love the connection of Tess and Ward. You can feel their attraction, and it was cute when they were arguing. LOL.

It's a great story and I'm looking forward to reading the next series.

Now where can I find my own sexy cowboy like Ward?! 


 About the Author
I was born in New York City and grew up there and in Western Massachusetts. I began writing my first romance while pursuing my master's degree. My first novel, Ride a Dark Horse, filled most of a spiral bound notebook. It didn't take long for me to realize I far preferred writing love stories to cranking out term papers!

I now live in Rhode Island with my husband, two children, and our black lab. Our cat Zevon keeps us all in line.
