Gigi and Max's story was great! They had great chemistry and it was fun to see them together for the short time they thought the had with her hoping for an internship in 2 weeks time and him in New York temporarily. It was fun to get to know Jen, Gigi's roommate and best friend. It was funny and sad and had me rooting for them to work something out at the end.

Wow! This book was so good that I was unable to put it down! I loved the chemistry between Gia and Max...it felt so real that I felt as though I was part of the story itself. I am looking forward to reading more of Kally’s work!

This is my first read from Kally and it won't be my last. I thought Gigi and Max's story was a great read, I enjoy a good insta-love romance so this was a great read for me. I thought they had great chemistry and were smoking hot together. A really good enjoyable read

I'm not usually one for insta-love but I enjoyed this story. Max was dealt a crappy hand, and tried to make the best of it. Gigi just wanted to pay on her loans. Jen sure makes the story more interesting too!

OMG! I loved this story so much!!!
However, I didn't like Max at all!! He was so hard, and rude, and I just didn't like him at all. Even with an infant daughter to take care of, he was just difficult to like in the beginning. I couldn't like him for anything, and nothing I tried helped.
Gianna is a student trying to get her internship, and gets offered a role of a nanny for Max to take care of his daughter as he's over from Cali to help with the opening of a new bar where Gianna's roommate works.
She doesn't want it cause he's so mean to her, and very bossy. Gianna is like No thanks!! But then she's like I can't leave the baby alone, or with him in a club.
One thing leads to another, and Gianna stays to help with the baby, and Max starts to open up some. But there's a time limit on this as he needs to go back to Cali from NY.
Gianna has her internship to think about though. But does she get in? If she does what will happen with Max, and also with his precious baby?
Max knows he can't be without Gianna, but he has to go back to his old life. Then he gets the phone call. He has to race off back home, and leaves Gianna back in NY.
What happens next? You'll have to read to find out!!!

Seriously, is this really Kally Ash’s debut book?!?!?
I’m in complete and utter awe right now, I don’t even know where to begin.
Max is a newly single father when his boss asks him and one of his coworkers to go to NYC to oversee the opening of a new club. He sees this as a chance to get away from L.A. for awhile to regroup. Once there his “babysitter” falls through and he is need of one right away so when one of his new employees tells him about her friend needing a job he makes a call that will hopefully help him with his daughter.
Gigi is in her final year of college and hoping for a summer internship at AMNH. She gets a call from a number she doesn’t recognize and is surprised to find out her roommate and best friend, Jen, gave her number out to her new boss.
As Gigi and Max talk about her possibly being his daughters nanny while they are in NYC, he can’t deny how beautiful and different Gigi is from other women especially his ex. Will Max be able to let his guard down with Gigi and allow himself to be truly happy for once or will he ruin the second best thing, besides his daughter, that’s ever happened to him??

This is the first book I have read by Kally Ash and I absolutely loved it! You could feel the emotions from each character just oozing out of the pages. Max needs a Nanny for his adorable daughter, after his wife just suddenly leaves them, not wanting to be a wife and mother anymore. Gigi becomes his Nanny and eventually soo much more, while he is in New York, opening a new nightclub for his boss. They both know his time there is short. What will happen when it's time for him to go back to LA? Will his Ex-wife returning ruin everything? This is a page turner and well worth the sleep I lost to finish it!

I will start by saying that the perspective it was written from threw me off, trying to keep the correct tense of each character was difficult for me, but once I got past that... phew! What a great read! I loved Gigi and Max! Both essentially being thrown together and watching the sparks fly was fun. I got swept up into their chemistry and passion. Plus, who doesn’t love a man who adores their child. Even in a book it’s still S.E.X.Y.! By the end I was literally rooting them on like a fan at a hockey game, foam finger and all. Can’t wait to see what happens with the rest of the crew from Temptation.

I love single dad's stories and I'm a sucker for them, so I was really excited to start this story.
I liked the main characters, so different from each other but they worked together. What didn't convince me was that I felt that their relationship progressed too quickly. I needed more to believe that it was more than a primitive attraction.

This was the first book I read by Kally Ash. I couldn't put it down. Max and Gigi are amazing. Love how Max is able to overcome everything with help from Gigi. Can't wait to see what's next.

Gianna (Gigi) is a studious college student who lives to get an internship, then a good job after school. But when she's offered a nanny position by her roommate's new boss, she is slowly persuaded when it becomes obvious that Max is in desperate need of someone to care for his baby daughter. She sure as hell wasn't expecting the attraction she would feel for him. And she definitely did not expect him to reciprocate or to act on his feelings. But how can Gigi think of giving herself to him if they've got an expiration date - when Max goes back home?
I usually love it when the stoic or cold alpha falls for the sweet woman who brings him to his knees. And I did like Tempt Me, I just did not love it because I didn't like or connect with Max. He's beyond cold, grumpy and a jackass. I loved Gigi, though, and she and Max's daughter more than make up for his asshole behavior. The story itself is good, though, it's steamy and the tension between Gigi and Max is delicious. I hope there's more to come in this Temptation series.

Kally Ash is new to me author, and I'm here for it now! An insta-romance story is always a hit or miss for me, and Tempt Me was a HIT! Gigi & Max were just yummy, and I couldn't get enough. The chemistry was off the charts, so you already know it won't be denied for long. He's a single dad to a tiny human, while she's a good girl student trying to get an internship at her dream job. Max needs a nanny, and Gigi is about to go on a new journey when her roommate's boss (Max) offers a short term nanny job, but will it derail all of her dreams?! So, let the sexy fun begin! But here's the bonus, the secondaries (like Gigi's roommate Jen) only added more great to the story. Tempt Me was a amazing afternoon delight that I will put in the read again column! But don't take my word for it, one click to find out for yourselves! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

This book was outstanding! It's the first book I have read by author Kally Ash but I have another one lined up to read. I easily give this book five stars! Max Parker and Gianna Borello have so much sexual chemistry! Max isn't looking for any relationship with a woman. Not after he came home and found his wife gone in the middle of the night leaving their four month old daughter in her crib. A couple of months later his manager asks him to temporarily relocate to New York City for several months to oversee the opening of a new club. There he meets Gianna. Gianna is a hard working studious college student. She is very responsible. He recruits her to be his daughter's live-in nanny while he is there. Then sparks fly between them catching them both totally off guard. Especially Max because he had sworn off women. The unexpected happens and leaves everything hanging in the air. But this thing between them is really a means to an end, right? It has an expiration date. This is a must read! I highly recommend this book!

I'm not one to fall for insta-love stories, but this one just makes you fall in love! The story and the characters are just perfect! I wasn't quite sure what I was going to get when I started reading this book but OMG I loved it! This is the first book I've read by Kally and I can't wait to read more!

This is the 1st on a new series and is Max and Gigi’s story. Max is left with her baby daughter when his wife leaves him, and Gigi is hired as a nanny. This is a well written story which had me hooked and intrigued throughout this addictive page turner, and I cannot wait to read the 2nd book in this fascinating series.

Beautifully Written Romance!!
This is the first book of Kally Ash's I have read and it definitely won't be my last.
I love how the author wrote the book so well that it literally feels like the story is playing out in front of you. The emotion of the characters seems to jump right out of the pages.

Sometimes temptation walks in the form of an angel. He needed help right away due to his not thinking about how he was going to do two things. I think he was just really lucky when it came to help. Not everyone has it but he did. He also loved his help too much to live without her. Glad it worked out.

This is my first book by Kally Ash and it was amazing. The one thing that brought it to four stars was that when the story jumped perspectives, I felt a little confused. Once I got that sorted out, it was all good. After Max's wife left him, rendering him a single dad, he hires Gianna to be his short term nanny. Max has serious trust issues and doesn't want to be betrayed again. Gianna is starting her internship in two weeks and Max is only in New York temporarily, so can they resist temptation?
