Annie came from New Jersey to start a new life away from her abusive ex-husband. When she first gets there she meets Dusty. They become fast friends. When Dusty asks Annie to come out to her house a get together she accepts. There she meets Dallas. They hit it at first, but when Annie starts talking about her past, Dallas wouldn’t listen to the reason behind her actions.
Dallas McCray is the least personable of the brothers, partly to do with the fact that he was mostly given the responsibility of looking after his younger brothers and his father was not a very nice man.
He has recently divorce his greedy and lying wife and finds himself envying his brother, who has a family of his own. He wants to find a sweet country girl like Dusty, but it is the new veterinarian, Annie DeSimone from New Jersey, who gets his heart racing. She is also recently divorce and is not looking for any man, but the chemistry between them is irresistible. Things are running hot and furious, until a innocent remark, makes Dallas pull away, not knowing that by doing so, he has put Annie in danger.
A fast read, with lively banter. Dallas keeps saying he doesn’t make the same mistake twice, but with Annie he keeps repeating his, without even realizing it until, until he almost losers her and his sister-in-law has to give him a metaphorical smack on the side of his head.
Teasing Annie (The Temptation Saga #2) was another great read by Helen Hardt. Dallas McCray was married to a deceptive woman who he is finally divorced from. He is now convinced that he wants a sweet country girl. He finds himself lusting after Annie DeSimone, the new veterinarian from New Jersey. Annie is also divorced and wants to leave her past behind in New Jersey. Unfortunately as they start letting their guard down, their pasts come back at them. I loved reading this book and can’t wait to read more by Helen Hardt.
*This book has flashbacks and might trigger some! There’s talk about domestic violence, please read with caution*
What a story!!! We met Dallas and his wife in Tempting Dusty and none of the members of the family like her…. (if you haven’t read it, go grab it…. you’ll see what a crazy of a wife he had )
Annie is been divorced, and Dallas divorce just became final!
This story had me sobbing
Although….. after Dallas discovering I was wondering what happened to his ex and the person who helped her?!!!
Overall 3 out of 5 stars
Performance 3 out of 5 stars
Story 3 out of 5 stars
Dallas was an azzz
Dallas had a lot on his shoulders and one weight was lifted off. He finds solace in his ranch and work. He also finds that he wants what his younger brother had with his wife and son. He wants his own family. The new doctor in town finds her way into a family welcoming her right on in. All this happens as she too has let go of unwanted weight in her life. She finds that being around her new friend and her family it gives her something more. But with that comes the sexy Dallas. He finds his way in to her thoughts and she in to his. Things progress and digress with whip fast quickness.
Dallas was all over the place and he was not one of my favorite people in this one or the first book he was introduced in. I love Annie. I loved her need to move forward with her life.
Part two was a bit more adult. There were no virgins falling in love at first sight. There were 2 adults doing adult things and facing horrible adult problems. Both sides getting out of nasty divorces find each other and attempt to give love a second chance but their awful pasts stand in the way. There’s violence in this one but luckily everything is resolved in the end. Good read.
Dallas and Annie still hate Chelsea in this book but at least she got caught. Their love story was so good. And the past for annie was sooo sad. Another fantastic book by Helen!!
***”Everything You do, every person who crosses your path, contributes to where you are today. Who you are today.” She reached toward him, her hand shaking, and caressed his lightly stubbled cheek. “And who you are today is the man I love.”*** -Helen Hardt: Teasing Annie: Chapter 18

LOVE <3 LOVE <3 LOVE this one. I read Tempting Dusty and that was when I first fell in love with Dallas. Dallas and Annie had so much in common but was so stubborn at first. I was so happy that they worked through their issues. I really wish their story continued. I have three words for this book... SEVERE BOOK HANGOVER! Look out book 3, I'm on the way.
Cute and sweet. It’s a follow your heart even if you might think it’s wrong. Just to say I wanted to come through the pages and slap Dallas a couple of times. Lol
Excellent series
