ABOUT THE BOOK.
Tender Temptation is a scorching tale of age-gap, insta-forbidden-love, hidden identities, coming of age, and second chances.

My world makes a seismic shift when I fall hard for Ivy Bright, a vibrant, enigmatic firecracker whose captivating energy makes me feel invincible.
Ivy is more than just a spark in my shadowed world—she’s a blaze. Her luminous presence ignites a clandestine desire in me that I can't resist. But Ivy harbors deep secrets and a tragic past that keeps her trapped in a life she never chose. Despite our undeniable chemistry, her decision to conceal her age and identity backfires spectacularly, threatening to unravel both our hearts.
Years later, will our rekindled passion withstand buried secrets that come to light, or will the truths of our past push us apart forever?

Mixed Feelings About This One.
In the first book of the series, Kaylene Winter really dives into the emotional rollercoaster! There were so many ups and downs that I wasn’t sure if I liked the book or hated it from one chapter to the next. We met Ivy and Cillian, and let me tell you, there’s drama everywhere.
Ivy is young and has a wild side. I’m not sure if it’s brave or just desperate, but she’s clearly got something to prove. After a family tragedy makes her dad super controlling, she jumps at the chance to escape for a bit when he leaves town. With seven weeks of freedom ahead of her, Ivy plans to make the most of it. Her wealthy background adds an interesting twist—she’s not your typical eighteen-year-old and has a bit of an old soul vibe. On her first night out, sporting a fake ID that claims she’s twenty-four, she falls hard for Cillian, a thirty-two-year-old Irish heartthrob she meets at a bar.
Cillian doesn’t have everything figured out at thirty-two; he’s kind of a player who’s focused more on his business than love. I I liked him—he’s a bit rough around the edges but has a sweet side. He’s just as smitten with Ivy as she is with him, and their night takes off from there.
Now, I wouldn’t call myself a prude, but there’s a scene involving Cillian and Ivy that made me cringe a bit. It led me to skim through some of the other steamy scenes, and there are quite a few! Their instant chemistry was fun at first, but it did start to feel a little repetitive. I found myself more interested in the predictable breakup and reunion that was brewing. Fortunately, the story has enough curveballs to add some angst and keep things interesting.
The book is well written, and alongside our main characters, there’s a whole cast of friends and family to offer advice and support. While I’m not a huge fan of this particular story, I’m intrigued by Cillian’s brothers and might check out their stories next. "Tender Temptation" can be read as a standalone and has a nice little epilogue to wrap things up.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kaylene Winter is a newer author for me, having only read one book from her in the past and y'all.. this was really, really good. Tender Temptation, the first in a new series, all but screamed at me to read it when I skimmed over that blurb and my goodness. What a journey this was for these two, and I totally made the right decision to read this story and meet them.
Tender Temptation gives us Ivy and Cillian's story and this is not one you want to miss if angsty, forbidden, age gap romances are your thing.. totally my jam! Packed cover to cover with heart, heat, twists, and so so so so many feels.. these two hooked me pretty early on in their journey, and I didn't put this book down until after the pages quit turning.
This was really good y'all with a cast of characters, and I'll definitely be back around for the next book in the Charming Irish series.
I can recommend this book.
