Tempted by Mr. Wrong Kindle Edition

4.1 out of 5 stars 121 ratings

Sizzling romance with steamy love scenes, also a must in her novels, but it's the characters that make this a five star and a must-read. I laughed, I swooned, I gasped (totally didn't figure out the murderer until Biggar revealed it), I cried. Highly recommend!

This is the first story I’ve read by Jacquie Biggar. It won’t be the last. TEMPTED BY MR. WRONG hits all the right romance notes
Amazon Reviewer

How can something so wrong, feel so right?

Falling for her step-brother is a mistake T.J. doesn't want to repeat, but one look into those sapphire blue eyes and she's ready to give Jason whatever he wants.

Tammy-Jo Hawthorne's marriage was floundering, but she never expected her husband to make her the laughing stock of Magnolia.
And she definitely didn't expect to trip over him in their front yard after he'd been murdered.

Jason McIntyre was forced out of his home and the love of his life by the man who'd haunted his nightmares for ten long years.
Now Jason's back--and he wants revenge.

I love it when chemistry overrides practicality, and that's exactly what happens here. They both fight the attraction, and they both fail miserably. Those hot-and-heavy scenes more than satisfy any romance lover's expectations.writesterSizzling romance with steamy love scenes, also a must in her novels, but it's the characters that make this a five star and a must-read.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jacquie Biggar is an award-winning author of romance who has been listed on USA Today's bestseller list. Her writing is centered around tough, alpha male characters who fall for strong and independent contemporary women. She resides on Vancouver Island with her husband and would love to hear from readers worldwide!

In her own words:

"My name is Jacquie Biggar. When I'm not being a klutz, I'm a wife, a mother of one, a grandmother, and a butler to my calico cat. One of my guilty pleasures is watching reality TV shows such as The Voice and Amazing Race. Every Monday night, you can find me laughing at the judge's shenanigans as I'm plastered to my armchair. I love hanging out with my husband at the beach, taking pictures, and reading romance novels (what else?). I have a slight obsession with Tim Hortons, enjoy gardening, everything pink, and talking to my friends."

    Jason and Tammy Jo are step-siblings yet aren’t related. So, when they explored their feelings when they were about to graduate high school, why did Tammy Jo’s father kick Jason out of the house, calling him filth and other words I won’t repeat? It’s ten years later and Tammy Jo’s marriage is on the rocks and she’s become the laughing stock of her father’s country club. Talk about a bad night. But when Jason pulls up and offers her a ride home, she’s humiliated. Of all nights, he had to witness her spiral down into the mud. No really, she’s stuck up to her whatsit in southern mud with rain pelting down.

    Jason’s back in town on a covert operation to bring down two men closest to Tammy Jo. Revenge is sweet, or so thinks Jason. But Jason didn’t expect murder to enter the picture and the one woman who’s stolen his heart may just be the murderer. Can Jason keep his salacious feelings for Tammy Jo at bay while he’s investigating or will he be tempted to dip into Tammy Jo’s honey pot once more?

    This is the first step-brother romance I’ve read and leave it to Jacquie Biggar to make it more than just sex. There’s so many layers to this story and I loved it! First, there’s the takedown of a ponzi scheme that Jason’s investigating. Then, there’s the steamy romance between Jason and Tammy Jo. There’s the revenge Jason is seeking with his step-father (Tammy Jo’s father). Oh, plus a murder to solve and Tammy Jo to be cleared. Did I mention the touching sub-plot of how Jason’s mother is suffering from Alzheimer’s?

    The suspense was spot-on and something I come to expect now from Biggar’s bestselling books. Sizzling romance with steamy love scenes, also a must in her novels, but it’s the characters that make this a five star and a must-read. I laughed, I swooned, I gasped (totally didn’t figure out the murderer until Biggar revealed it), I cried. Highly recommend!

    Favorite Character/Quote: Jason. I loved everything about him from his magnetic sapphire eyes to his fierce love for his mother, from his vow for revenge to his passionate forbidden love for his step-sister. He’s a broken alpha hero but Tammy Jo just might be able to put him back together again.

    This story of taking a risk, and using a second chance and making it right. A lot of action, twists and turns. A little deception but it's all in the family. I really had a good time reading this clever story.
    I received this book as an arc and voluntarily am submitting my review.

    Steamy romance, good character presentations

    New families make for tempestuous days—at least in this story of love denied. When Jason and Tammy-Jo (T.J.) are teenagers their parents marry, making them step-siblings. By the time they're seniors in high school, they've fallen in love, something that doesn't fly well with Tammy's father. When he intervenes and sends Jason packing, T.J. turns elsewhere to soothe her broken heart, following the path her father maps out for her by marrying a man destined for success.

    Now it's ten years later, Jason is on an undercover assignment for the SEC and Tammy's caught in the middle once again. Her husband—who has been wretched to her—winds up murdered on their front lawn. There to investigate both T.J.'s husband and father, Jason has to keep his purpose a secret while reconnecting with his family—and that includes stirring up all the feelings he still holds for T.J.

    If you enjoy romantic suspense, this book is one you won't want to miss. The case that builds against T.J.'s deceased husband puts everyone in danger, including Jason's team, his mother, step-father, and T.J. herself. Jason and T.J. navigate their feelings for each other with plenty of misunderstandings, matched only by the heat of undeniable attraction. As always, Biggar knows just how far to push her characters before bringing them to the realization they belong together. The interesting spin in this book is the familial connection and the complications it causes. Jason's relationship with his stepfather, Sam, is bitter and combative, but Sam has a loving, caring marriage with Jason's mother. A sticky situation that gets fully fleshed out at the end.

    A breezy read with polished writing, dialogue that rings true, and characters who lodge in your heart, this is an entertaining read with a feel-good finish.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Time for romance, family, and sizzling suspense
    Reviewed in Canada on December 11, 2017
    Long ago lovers, Tammy-Jo and Jason’s reunion may start at the worst possible time (for them) but reading about it was immense fun (for me)! Personal and professional stakes are high for everyone in Magnolia, but there's still time for romance and reconnecting with family. It's all woven expertly into another 5-star story with heart and soul and sizzling suspense.
