Tempting as Sin

Mmm ever so tempting!

This book was so much fun! I really enjoyed the first book in the series and this second one didn’t disappoint. It really liked how it dealt with how people aren’t always what they seem. Like Rafe wasn’t an arrogant mean guy and Lily got a chance to find that out and heal from her own problems.

I always love Rosalind James books because they still have that happy ending, but it’s always an interesting and unique journey.

The narration was also fantastic! The voice actress really captures the essence of each character and does accents really well.

Tempting yet super sweet!

Tempting as Sin, brings us Rafe and Lily. We met them in Book 1 when their siblings came together and are engaged to be married. Rafe is an actor, Lily is done with actors (she was married to one) Lily is softer than her twin sister, but she's working on becoming stronger and braver. Rafe needs to escape and prepare for his new role so he goes to his brothers cabin in Sinful Montana to get away, he's also Lily's neighbor.
Lily befriends Bailey a 8yr old girl who lives with her grandmother, but seemingly does not have a great upbringing. Along with Bailey comes a crazy fun dog. The story of Rafe, Lily,and Bailey is heartwarming and fun. The love in this book between Rafe, Lily and Bailey just pulls at the heartstrings.

Listening to this book was just as amazing as reading it. Emma Wilder does an amazing job switching voices is outstanding! She makes Bailey even sweeter than she already is. Ms. James, and Ms. Wilder are a winning combination. I can't wait to hear the 3rd book.

Loved it!!

I really love Rosalind James books & audiobooks.Once I start reading or listening I can't stop until I finish. This story is no exception. My favorite thing about her writing is that family is always so important and a big part of the books. Tempting as Sin is not a continuation of book 1 Guilty as SIn but it's best if you read that one first so you can relate all the characters that are in both books. Rafe and Lily are both relatable people and you root for both of them to come out ahead. As always i look forward to the next book by Rosalind James.
Emma Wilder does such an amazing job on the narration. She's one of my favorites. The accents and male voices are so good you sometimes forget it's the same narrator.

Her sister and his brother

Starting 3 weeks before the end of Guilty As Sin, this starts as Rafe Blackstone’s story, and his first meeting with Lily doesn’t end well. A few months later, Rafe retreats to Jace’s cabin in Sinful to learn to ride a horse and prepare for his next role. Of course, he meets Lily right away, and they learn to forgive and understand each other. There is a lovely secondary story with 8 yr old Bailey and her dog Chuck.
I wonder if there’s any chance of James writing Willow or Brett’s stories? I’ll have to keep checking...
Re graphic: Is that spilt milk that the bra is sitting in?
Wilder does a good job of narration.
Recommend both Sinful stories.

What a ride

this story will grip you and want to make you yell at the characters and then laugh at the characters and then laugh along with the characters as well

the characters are well written and you will love some and hate others

I have enjoyed getting to know the main characters in this series and I am sure you will as well

can not wait for the next book in the series

A Twins falling for Aussie brothers tale

Overview
This is the second of a new series by Rosalind James, based in a small town in Montana. It can be read as a stand-alone book, but probably enjoyed best when followed by the first of the series, Guilty As Sin, as it begins where the previous one leaves off with a new couple - the siblings. Ms. James has written several books from the Northern Idaho area, California, and a great many from New Zealand too in her Escape series.

The Main characters
Lily Hollander is an identical twin who is a frilly, sweet and feminine small town - country-girl raising goats and chickens on a small ranch-farm and owns a lingerie store in the town of Sinful, Montana. The story opens with her visit to her sister in San Francisco, CA

Rafe Blackstone is a successful actor - and totally NOT Lily's type. When they first meet one another - neither knows their true identities, they actually know each other through their sibings, Paige and Jace (Hollander and Blackstone, respectively). They met in a bar, and used assumed names for their own reasons, then things really heat up as they realize they really like each other. Sparks fly when they "meet" again at Paige and Jace's houseboat, and they do not tell anyone else they previously met. As they get to know one another and slowly chip away at one others' mis-trust issues, they cannot fight the attraction that is building and the tension is too delicious! The sparks fly between these two as they develop an interesting and reluctant relationship.


I loved the book - it's got some suspense, some excitement and action. And of course some steamy romance too, as things really heat up between Lily and the hot actor-neighbor, Rafe. There are some very hilarious moments that will had me laughing my butt off. This is a great, funny, heart-warming read that will take you away from your world for just a short bit and fill your heart with wonderful characters and a memorable storyline. The book will stir your emotions and remind you of many great themes: the importance of family, loyalty, trust and security, and the issues surrounding foster children and elderly poor people.

There is a really sweet secondary plot line that really touched me, about a former foster child whom Lily met in her small town and sort of adopted, along with her dog. Make sure your tissues are handy! These are awesome characters to hear narrated by the very wonderful Emma Wilder. She does an amazing job transitioning between characters (including an Aussie movie star) to a little girl, Bailey, flawlessly and seamlessly. Great job Emma! It's always a pleasure to listen to her narrate.

Another great book by the gifted Rosalind James! I can't wait to read the next one in the series!

this was too TEMPTING!!!!!

Rosalind James, brings us into a new world of romance, out of 10 being steamy, i would rate this a 7-8 in that dept a full on 10 with romance, the Story is about Lily who been hurt one to many times, until Raft comes along , the narration by Emma Wilder deserves a shout out. Rosalind James allowed you to be able to close your eyes and see the story played out, Emma Wilder brought it's play out to life with her diverse vocal skills!!!!!!
if your looking still for the beach read, this is def it.
As i said it takes you from brut to full on cant live without Lily's Love to, Lily learning what you see on the outside is not always how it is, that there is happy ever after. that there peer pressure with Adults as much as in the kids world .
thumbs up Mrs James and Emma Wilder for the great escape for 14 hours!!!!! the time blew by as it was a straight listen,unbelievable talent. thank you for the journey, it was well worth the wait........ soooooo now when will 3 be out lol

Sinfully fantastic!

Rosalind James you’ve done it again!
Well written, well read story with all the usual treats we have come to expect from your stories. Hopefully we get to hear more from Sinful Montana.

Definitely enjoyed...

Tempting as Sin is book two in the Sinful, Montana series. This is Rafe and Lily's story. This story hooked me, and I kept going until I was done. I really enjoyed the story and the narrator, and I definitely recommend it.

A werewolf and a lingerie shop owner meet in a bar

Pretty great lead in, right? I loved reading this book and I really loved listening to it, as well! I am a fan of Rosalind James’s writing and love to read her books (and listen). This is a great book about loyalty and what love really looks like, romantically and within families. I love that she has Emma Wilder narrating another of her amazing books. Emma voices the characters so well, you truly do feel like there are people speaking and thinking rather than just one person reading the book aloud . I really recommend this book, both for reading and for listening.
