When Sparks Fly/When Opposites Attract/Temptation Calls

by Ally Blake, Rachael Stewart

When Opposites Attract - Ally Blake

Quirky Adelaid yearns to be taken seriously as a journalist — writing an article on genius Ted Fincher is the perfect way. But when she meets this tall hunk of gorgeousness, the frisson of attraction between them is completely distracting! She should suppress her exuberance long enough to discover why Ted’s heart is so guarded...yet she can’t resist bowling headlong into an affair — one that has shocking consequences!

When Temptation Calls - Rachael Stewart

My foster mother’s will states I, Summer, must live with her grandson, infamous billionaire Edward Fitzroy, for one year on her Scottish estate or we forfeit our inheritance! Years ago, scared of our intense connection, I left without saying goodbye. Now, I’m completely unprepared for how devastatingly attractive Edward’s become — and how he still makes me feel. We’re from different worlds, surely this can’t work! But it’s oh-so tempting to give into the sparks flying between us...

When opposites attract: from the beginning Adelaide and Ted had great romantic tension. I was immersed in their story, meaning I couldn’t put this book down.
3.75
Temptation Calls: this book did take me more to get into the momentum of the story.
But getting into the momentum, this book was entertaining, with great MCs.
But it dis lack an explanation of the backstories of Edward and Summer and why they were specifically put in this situation.
3.75

Lovely. Nice exploration of ADHD and a treat to have Rosalind Russell and Katharine Hepburn sneak their way in!

Well I love both of these stories! I could have quite easily read a full novel for each.

The first story I just want to go out and buy a cactus! 🤣 I absolutely loved the story. Of course it was obvious but I loved the back story, the development of the characters and the fast forward to get to the end being it was short story.

The second story I could literally picture the castle! This would be a perfect tv movie. Again you could pick the story but it was so enjoyable.

I thoroughly recommend this book - 2 great short stories, easy reads and just a bit of fun.

Highlight - Fuzz Lightyear.

When opposites attract 📖
Cute short read, would have loved this as a full novel with a slower pace but overall a nice story with likeable MCs.

Temptation calls 📖
I liked the beginning of this book. I hoped it would take us into a backstory of summers upbringing a little more and her emotions as a foster teen coming into a completely different lifestyle. I didn’t really feel connected to the MCs in this story, non the less it was a nice enough tale.

WWHEN OPPOSITES ATTRACT - This was quiteva serious story the disability rep was done extremely well. Not alot of authors can pull it off but Ally Blake nailed it.

TEMPTATION CALLS - this was quite a heartbreaking and yet a warm story. We're it not for Gran. These two may never have gotten past the hurt and bitterness.

Which would have been very sad.

While both these stories are very different; I enjoyed them immensely.
