At this time, as I am guessing is obvious by the publication date that was literally years ago, I have decided not to review this title.

Technically, I made this decision a while ago, but was not as prompt with sending feedback as I should have been. My apologies for the delay, as well as clogging up your inbox with this very late review response.

As always, while incredibly late, I thank you for the opportunity to read and review one of your titles.

3.5 Stars

I wasn’t crazy about this book. It had a good story idea. Jacob and Teagan were both decent characters. They meet and have a one night stand. I mean happens but then it’s like they are always apart. It felt like they were just never together. I don’t know this just didn’t work for me but that doesn’t mean you would love it.

Roller coaster romance. Great characters who end up feeling like friends or family. The storyline keeps you turning the pages with more peaks than you can imagine.

Teagan just unknowingly had a one-night stand with the man suing her brother.

Synopsis:

“We can’t see each other again…
and I think you know why.”
After an impulsive one-night stand with Jacob Stone, Teagan Hunter is appalled to discover he’s a lawyer intent on suing her media mogul brother. They’re done. But Jacob pursues the understated heiress…and Teagan is tempted. Could the powerhouse attorney be the one to give Teagan the new lease on life she desperately needs? Or is this a star-crossed scandal waiting to explode?
Stone does spend the rest of book following her around the globe. Robyn Grady makes him work for it. (laugh) I have never seen a couple put through so many obstacles as in The Case for Temptation (Harlequin Desire, 9781488062674, 2020). Though according to Teagan’s brother’s their stories are just as filled with minefields.

The Case for Temptation is the first book in the “About That Night” series and it will put you through the wringer. It has drama, scandal, good looking people, private jets, beautiful countries, crazy people, and hot sex. All of this sounds about normal right? (laugh) Grady gives us a bookful of entertainment that you do not want to put down - I did not. I read it right through like candy. I am ready for my next bite...give me more temptation.

I received an ARC of this book from Xpresso Book Tours and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.

This was a great quick read. I liked both characters. The plot moved quickly. I recommend.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

I read this ARC for an honest review
All thoughts and opinions are mine

I've read the author before and this didn't disappoint
I read this really quickly - drew me in from the start and was a pretty quick, fun read

Would recommend

I received this ARC copy in exchange for an honest review. I haven’t read a Harlequin story for quite some time. This storyline dealt with a couple of issues. The writer had all the necessary love story requirements; family dynamics, sibling relationships, chemistry, sexy hero, passionate heroine, and believable storyline. Well worth the read. Enjoy !

4 1/2 STARS!

One night turns into a forbidden love affair! THE CASE FOR TEMPTATION, part of the About That Night series by Robyn Grady was a really fun read. A chance meet up at a bar, a forbidden night of passion ... and just when they realize they feel a connection and want to pursue something more, the real world rears it's ugly head.

Teagan Hunter is a head-strong confident business owner who didn't want to rely on her family's glitz and reputation to make her way in life, so she struck off on her own. In town for a wedding, Tea can't resist the temptation of a sexy night with a handsome man.

Jacob Stone can't believe his luck in connecting with such an amazing woman at a wedding, but as the night is simmering down he realizes exactly who she is ... the sister of the man he's about to sue for a client! Talk about awkward.

I recommend this book to anyone looking for a steamy connection with a good bit of family drama and heartfelt sentiment mixed into the story line. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the Rawson family.

This is the first book I am reading by Robyn Grady. Before this I have read a novella by her on Harlequin Online Reads - The Medici's Pregnant Mistress. The Case for Temptation is Book One of About That Night... Series, the last one in the Hunter Siblings Saga (The Hunter Pact Series).

Jacob Stone is a lawyer who is in Los Angeles to attend the lavish wedding of an old friend. While there, he comes across a woman named Teagan, and within three hours of knowing each other, they have a one-night stand. Before she came in his radar, his mind was stuck on the multimillion-dollar lawsuit waiting for his attention back in New York. The defamation case against Hunter Publications.

Teagan is the wild child of her family who owns a business separate from theirs in Seattle called High Tea Gym. Youngest sibling to her three older brothers, with Wynn marrying Grace recently (from One Night, Second Chance) and them being so much in love, Teagan is positive that it is not something that her future holds. In fact, Jacob was not even her type. But thinking about the recent attacks on her family, she decides it was time to go back to Australia to stand by them.

But, they both needed an escape, which they found in each other's arms.

This is such an emotional story from the get-go. Teagan had an accident when she was a child, which still has repercussions on her life. But a night with Jacob puts things into perspective for her especially after the loss she suffered a few months back. While Jacob has his own 'beyond toxic' childhood demons. There was no outright drama, but the silent sarcastic digs at each other were something else.

A week later, Jacob's calling her but she's avoiding him. Ouch! But then they're at Jacob's adoptive family's place where his step-sister gives her the snob. With the Hunter siblings, all done with, I would guess that this series will continue with The Rawsons siblings - Ajax, Griff, and Lanie.

Susan Copeland and Hux Rawson, hmm. I love when there is the whole family involved while building up the relationship. I have read books based in Australia before but this had an entirely different vibe to it. Maybe because they didn't have celebrations of Christmas in the month of July, or underwater smooching, for that matter, which is a first for me in HPland.

The story moves back and forth between Seattle, New York and Sydney. There are so much of other things going on instead of more focus on Jacob and Teagan. And Tea seemed to be getting the thin end of the stick in every sphere of her life. Also, they're more time apart than they're together. All in all, it didn't work for me.

"We were always somehow out of sync."
Likewise, the book also seemed out of sync and there's no epilogue.

The next story in the series is One Night with His Rival by Robyn Grady.

P.S. Five stars for the tempting title and the awesomesauce cover.

Thank you to the author, Xpress Book Tours, Harlequin Publishers, and NetGalley for an e-ARC of the book.

. i loved the book but i think it needed a little more heat to it. i am a big fan of harlequin books and i recently found out this one was part of a series. Well not all series have stand alone books which is ok. The harlequin desire series is a must read. Let me get to the main idea of the book...


It first started off with a one night relationship between Jacob and Teagan. Then it got more serious where emotions were involved. Jacob was trying to sort out his feelings for Teagan while he had issues from his past he had to deal with. Teagan Wasn't totally sure if she wanted another relationship. Together they go through scandal, heartbreak, and eventually find their happily ever after.

i give this book 4 stars only because I did not realize it was part of a series. All in all it was a really good book and i recommend this to anyone who loves to read romance books. Once you start it will be impossible to stop reading because it is that interesting.

Note: I received an ARC generously from Netgalley, the author and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I should've been tempted to read and like this novel too..I mean look at the title.

And.

Look at the summary. A one night stand between two enemies (who have no idea they are enemies) which may turn to something else but before that happens, they find out the truth about each other and it becomes an all out-third world war between them. But can they beat this war in order to salvage their future?

Highly unlikely. That's what I can tell.

But then again even this amazing summary couldn't help me keep the attention towards the book, and eventually I fell asleep or skimmed through the dialogues while reading.

So you can tell that my case for this temptation was at a success rate of 0%.

Until the next read,

The story was a bit difficult to follow at first for me - I didn't realise that the book was part of a series - there's a lot going on!

After an amazing night together that ends on a sour note, Teagan Hunter & Jacob Stone find that they can't quite move on from each other. Family issues interfere over and over, but their connection seems to be even harder to sever.

Robyn Grady managed to hold my attention with this offering. The story showed that, once you believe in love & you're willing to try, you can survive anything.

I voluntarily read & reviewed an ARC of this book, received via NetGalley.

Power, temptation and scandal run rampant in Teagan and Jacob's world. How could they have known they'd be drawn into the center of it? Grady adds fuel to a backdrop that was built on drama. The Case for Temptation is a whirlwind. What was meant to be one night becomes an obsession that implodes the world around the two main characters. There's so much going on that sometimes I struggled to keep up, but I love a challenge and Robyn Grady always delivers on that front.

The Case For Temptation (About That Night..., Book 1)

There's a lot going on plot wise in this book (one night stand, assasination attempts, unplanned parenthood) which made it really confusing at times. It seems like the author just threw in a lot of stuff to keep it interesting. Overall its not bad book but I would have expected this to be book 2 or 3 in a series and not book 1.

I was not aware that The Case for Temptation was part of a series. Resolution to assassination attempts, mentions of previous kidnapping scares made for one confused reader! I did really like Teagan. At first I liked Jacob, then I didn't like Jacob and then I liked him again (just like our heroine!). I loved that part of the story took place in Australia. Visiting there is definitely on my bucket list. Overall, I did enjoy the story; I would just recommend reading the previous books. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

The Case for Temptation is a little different to some of your other romance novels. It begins with our hero and heroine getting together for the night. As the book progresses they try to decide if they can fit into each other's lives, particularly when it comes to dealing with the baggage from each other's past.
There is a lot going on in this novel, with both Jacob and Teagan questioning if they want a relationship with one another and if they can make it as a couple. There are a few occasions where we suddenly get a summary of things that have happened, but that we don't actually see. I'm sure that this is to help keep the story moving and at the right pace. The only downside with this is that it doesn't make for the most gripping reading. It didn't really matter, but it was one of the elements that stopped this from being a four-star read.
I liked the relationship between Jacob and Teagan. I did think that towards the end he was a little cruel, there were reasons for it, but I don't usually like my 'hero's' to be like that.
This was a good romantic read.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
