What’s the worst thing you could do when you’re stranded in the woods with your rival? Sleep with him. That’s what. Not only is Rowan Whitlock my sister’s ex, but we’re both vying for the contract that would save my family farm. So why did it have to be Rowan who came to the rescue after I fell on a remote hiking trail? When the weather turned unexpectedly, we were forced to find shelter and ride out the storm. Only that wasn’t the only thing I ended up riding. We promise ourselves what happens at the cabin stays at the cabin, but when we get back to Sugarloaf, it’s impossible to stay away from him. Those blue eyes captivate me, his strong body comforts me, and he makes me feel beautiful. Which is crazy, right? If only my stupid head would listen and stop this before my heart gets involved, but I keep going back because I’m already in too deep. I should’ve known that the temptation wasn’t worth the risk because when it all falls apart, our promises are broken, and I’m afraid my heart will never recover.

This series is a favorite! Corinne continues to blow me away with each book. While the first two books are my top favorites, Tempting Promises is still a wonderful and hilarious addition to the series.
Charlotte and Rowan are rival farm owners, both vying for the same contract. These two are at each other's throats constantly, and the tension is whew! I loved when they had a mini truce and decided to just give in to their desires for a few days while they were stuck together in a cabin. Give me enemies with benefits any day! The rivalry between the two mc’s is peak entertainment.
The more they spend time with each other, the more they realize that they're different from their own preconceived notions, letting them both to let their guard down.
And I just love how the Whitlock family is so present in these books, especially Olivia; she’s the sweetest niece in the world.

A great addition to the Whitlock Family Series. I've enjoyed the other books in the series, but I do like a good enemies to lovers. I've also really enjoyed the trend of no third act breakup, I feel like it make for a less angsty book, but gives the opportunity to highlight internal motivation vs. external. Corrine Michaels is able to weave a very engaging story completely character driven, I was unable to put this book down.
