  <default-description>Turn Left at Small Town Secrets

Sophie Dempsey is content living a quiet life filming wedding videos until an assignment brings her to Temptation, Ohio. From the moment she drives into town, she gets a bad feeling; Sophie is from the wrong side of the tracks and everything in Temptation is a little too right. And when she has a run-in with the town's unnervingly sexy mayor, Phineas Tucker, making a little movie turns out to be more than a little dangerous.

Yield to Oncoming Desire

All Sophie wants to do is film the video and head home. All Phin wants to do is play pool with the police chief and keep things peaceful. They both get more than they bargained for when Sophie's video causes an uproar and the proper citizens of Temptation set out to shut them down.

Welcome to Temptation

As events spiral out of control, Sophie and Phin find themselves caught in a web of gossip, blackmail, adultery, murder, and really excellent sex. All hell breaks loose in Temptation as Sophie and Phin fall deeper and deeper in trouble ...and in love.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I'd give this somewhere between three and four stars.  I was on page 68 and thinking, &quot;I'll just read to page 100 and then give up&quot;.  By the time I got to page 100 I was hooked.  Great chemistry with main characters but don't read this if you don't want to read about lots of type of sin.  ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71435934">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I met Phin &amp; Sophie in Faking It, so briefly, that I had no idea what to expect with Welcome To Temptation.  It didn't disappoint!  <br/>Another comic relief. Characters you could love, and even some you could hate. <br/>It had all the raw emotion for the love story lover, and the suspense of a th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67063824">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is by far the BEST Crusie book I've read to date. The plot is thicker than I&quot;m used to by her, and I was really happy with it. Normally, Jen has the same formula: up tight career bitch, hurt by some guy, isn't open to love, but falls in love with tall, handsome jerk type. It's a good formu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61764351">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Dammit.  This was one of the &quot;read a book in a genre you don't usually read&quot; titles, and I ended up liking it.  A lot.<br/><br/>Crusie is a local author- she's from Ohio, which is where this book is set- a fictional town of Temptation, Ohio.

A cute set up, but there's too many characters and little is happening that interests me.<br/><br/>Update:  Not a bad book, not a great book; not my favorite of hers, not my least favorite. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8222974">more...</a>]]></body>

Nevertheless, I thought it was suffice to make me feel giddy. <br/><br/>Oh and yes Phineas and Sophie just kicked it on. :)<br/><br/>currently listening to: Dusty...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58138656">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Okay, but I wasn't crazy about it, I don't think I'm a big chick lit lover.  I listened to it on audiobook and the narrator made all the characters sound annoying, I really didn't like anyone in the book, though I might consider reading the sequel someday.
