Tantalizing Maria (Temptation Saga Book 7)

I liked reading Tantalizing Maria(Temptation Saga Book 7), all about Maria Gomez Bay a mother in her sixties & Jefferson Bay a cowboy in his sixties and the brother to her dead husband and the father to her daughter Angelina Blackhawk. When Maria was a senior in high school two weeks shy of graduating she met Jefferson Bay the twenty-one year old bad boy! He rode a motorcycle and ran with a bad crowd, but he excited Maria something fierce, and she became pregnant. Jeff had already been to prison, and again committed a terrible crime and would be put behind bars for thirty-three years! It was at this time that Maria decided not to tell Jeff about the Baby, but suddenly became interested in his respectable older brother Jack. In the end she married Jack and when she had Angelina who came a month early nobody suspected it wasn't his child. The author wrote a book about an older woman and her secrets. That she is now telling because the love of her life Jeff has now resurfaced and is trying to claim the beloved Bay Ranch that belongs to Catie & Angelinia! Read this story and see how Maria & Jeff try and reconcile their love and respect for one another after thirty-three years! I loved reading the entire seven book Saga all about the McCrays & the Bay's and all their spouses and off-spring! It is definitely a book saga you don't want to miss!!

Book 7 was the finalization of the Temptation Saga: The book tied all of the other books together with a great twist. I love Helen Hardts writing. The saga keeps you wanting more, I am sadden that its over but I am looking forward to reading the authors other series of books as well as any new books that are written by Helen Hardt.

Amazing!!! This is the last book in the Temptation series. It was a truly amazing story. I loved how we were given a look into the past of Jeff's life and how he met Maria and ended up in prison. This was a very emotional and yet still sexy read. I love Helen Hardt's writing. This is a book and series that I highly recommend. You will definitely fall in love with all the characters in this series and love each and every book and hate to see the series end. Amazing! Awesome!

Sweet second chance story that explores family dynamics and long lost love, that gets a second chance to blossom, after what seems a lifetime of sorrow, regrets and settling for the next best thing. The parallel story telling of Jefferson's and Maria's past as they fell in love years and years ago, and the current events as Jeff gets to know his daughter and her family, makes for a captivating read.Finally letting go of the demons of the past and confronting his past head on, Jefferson, lastly, allows himself to love again and opens his heart to Maria as they take a chance on their Happily Ever After!

What a beautiful story of love, forgiveness, and second chances! I not only fell in love with Mia and Jeff's characters, but also the plot, and the many emotions that this story have evoked.I love the Temptation Saga and it's definitely bittersweet to say goodbye to such a wonderful series with amazing and empowering characters, unique stories, and HEAs. Definitely a must read!

Very well written. Didn't like all the 33 years earlier and etc being referred to all the time. Just tell the story we can figure it out. Mia and Jeff's love surmounted all the way back to her being 18 years old and wanted to feel love . I loved her determination. Tennessee girl

loved the first ones but then they got repetitive...predictable... disappointing. LOVED Dusty! Like couldn't put it down!i don't think i even got past the first few chapters on this one...

Awesome read, I enjoyed this book by Helen, and I highly recommend reading her books if you haven't already, you will not be disappointed. The way she writes her books is amazing and I am so glad I found her books. I cried in some parts and got mad in others, but never disappointed with her writing. Love her books.

Loved this book...I absolutely LOVED the whole series, hot sexy cowboys and strong women, love, tears, happiness, raunchy, sexy, the whole series has everything you could want in it!
