Sager Reed, the strong and silent bassist of the rock band Tempest, is well acquainted with loss. The thoughtful artist’s own tattoos only hint at his turbulent youth. He buries his guilt about it deeply within his troubled heart.
Melinda T. Belle, the daughter of a dysfunctional rock legend, as a rule avoids emotional entanglement. In fact, she has turned her back on nearly everyone and everything she has ever known. Now she is alone, trying desperately to find fulfillment in the one dream she has left, competitive skiing.
CAN SAGER OVERCOME HIS DARK PAST AND FINALLY BELIEVE THAT HE IS WORTHY OF HER LOVE?
WILL MELINDA REALIZE TOO LATE THAT HE IS THE ONE THAT REALLY MATTERS?
EXCERPT
“Let it go, Bluebelle,” I chastised myself aloud as I passed the tower with the unloading sign. Lifting the bar, I slid forward at the designated area, pointed the tips of my skis upward and leaned slightly forward as soon as my skis were completely on the ground. I stood, balanced and glided away with the chair providing the push. I was alone once I reached the turn to the snow cross course. I paused to take in a few mouthfuls of crisp clear high altitude air as I stared out at the amazing view. Top of the mountain. My favorite place to put things into perspective. The world spread out before me, an endless stretch of blue sky and grey mountains. The clouds below looked like a river of puffy cotton balls between snowcapped peaks. The early morning rays transformed last night’s snow into a carpet of glistening crystal.
Don’t think about Sager. Don’t think about the past, and whatever you do don’t you dare feel sorry for yourself. You got by on your own before April, before Tempest, before…him. You can do it again. It’s better this way. Safer. A heart can only take so much battering around before it runs out of reasons to keep beating.
Review
Tempting Tempo is the first book I've read from Michelle Mankin. I've seen her books around, I just haven't been too incited to read them. Now, however, I need to go and start at the beginning, because Holy Shit, Tempting Tempo is good. Great even.
Emotional, with that right amount of angst, a strong beautiful hero with a hidden heart, and a strong lost heroine with that lost soul.
Sager and Melinda could be us. Not the rock star and competitive skier of course, but the lost types. The hopeful types, the dreamer types.
Sager hasn't had it easy, he carries the weight of his past on his shoulders, despite having a loving family when it matters most. But that doesn't mean that he could forget. No, he can never forget where he comes from.
Melinda doesn't know where or who she is. She doesn't know which direction she's going, except for the fact that she wants to get far away from her past. She doesn't know who she is after a series of regrets. She wants to be forgiven, but doesn't believe she deserves it.
Michelle Mankin packed this book with heat, heart, and something extra special, hope.
These characters hope to find themselves in this world. They hope to escape their pasts, they hope to be better. They hope for love. Even if they don't know it yet.
What I loved most about this book, is that they both already knew how to make things okay within themselves. They both already knew that they needed each other. Getting there just took a little longer.
This is the type of book that makes you scream at the female. Because you know they know when something is right. But they choose to either not admit it, or they don't think they deserve it. It's a little bit of both in the case of Melinda.
There were many times when I wanted to yell at her and give her the happiness she deserves. That they both deserve.
Tempting Tempo opened my eyes into the world that Michelle Mankin has created and now I have to learn more. I have to do more to find out how all the characters got to their place.
Tempting Tempo is a book you have to have time to read, because it holds feelings that you want to savor. Those are always the best.
