Sweet Temptation is the third book in a new series (Honeysuckle, Texas) by Chris Keniston. The book rotates around the Sweet family and their ranch in Texas. The siblings are called home by their mother, only to find out that the foreman and most of the ranch hands have been stealing the cattle as well as building supplies and machinery. Huge amounts of money are needed immediately to save the ranch. There is a trust that will give money to each of the siblings after they have married (and stayed married for a year). That will be a huge help. But none of them are married yet…This particular novel introduces us to Jackie and Garrett. Jackie takes a huge leap of fate and sells/leaves everything she knows to move in with her boyfriend, only to find nothing is as it seems. The next thing she remembers after trying to drown her poor choices is that she has been saved by Garrett, who got her a room and a safe place to sleep. After much discussion and research Jackie agrees to marry Garrett to help him out with his family knowing that gives her a year to figure out what comes next in her life.What a great story! I love what happened to the boyfriend. Karma. I really liked Garrett’s innate decency. As always, the book can be read as a stand alone, but why when the whole series is awesome!I love Chris Keniston’s writing and her “family stories”. Sweet Temptations is a good read.
