About TEMPTING BROOKE:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby comes a new story in her Big Sky series…

Brooke’s Blooms has taken Cunningham Falls by surprise. The beautiful, innovative flower shop is trendy, with not only gorgeous flower arrangements, but also fun gifts for any occasion. This store is Brooke Henderson’s deepest joy, and it means everything to her, which shows in how completely she and her little shop have been embraced by the small community of Cunningham Falls.

So, when her landlord dies and Brody Chabot saunters through her door, announcing that the building has been sold, and will soon be demolished, Brooke knows that she’s in for the fight of her life. But she hasn’t gotten this far by sitting back and quietly doing what she’s told. Hustle is Brooke’s middle name, and she has no intention of losing this fight, no matter how tempting Brody’s smile — and body — is.

Many thanks to the author and Inkslinger PR for the free review copy of this novella in exchange for my honest opinion.
I'm not normally a novella reader, but I've really been enjoying my time spent with the novellas I've read from the "1001 Dark Nights" compilation. This title from Kristen Proby, "Tempting Brooke", introduced me to her "Big Sky" series, which is one I'll be sure to look into at a later date.  

I loved that Brody and Brooke had a bit of a complicated history, being that they were best friends for a time while they were kids. Brody was going through a dark time, and he felt he couldn't open up to anyone, even his best friend.  At one point, Brody walked away completely from this friendship, and Brooke was left wondering what happened. She was understandably very hurt!

"Tempting Brooke" finds Brody coming back to town for the first time since he left right after graduation. He's now a successful engineer, but he has no inclination of staying in Cunningham Falls - once he offloads the building he inherited, he's planning on heading back to San Francisco without a backward glance. Too bad his plan is about to be foiled by Brooke, who wants to show Brody that he should give Cunningham Falls, and their relationship, a second chance. 


I loved the chemistry between Brooke and Brody, and I loved the setting of this quaint little town. That said, I felt there could have been a bit more development all around. I was left wanting more detail, and I wished that things weren't wrapped up quite so tidily. 

My rating: 3 stars
