From the moment Peyton Emerson discovered she was pregnant at 18, although scared, she couldn't wait to share the exciting news with the baby's father and her childhood sweetheart, Keller James-who was serving at war in Afghanistan.
Then a letter came from Keller shattering Peyton's world, saying he wanted nothing more to do with her or her unborn child.
Or so she thought....
Fast forward five years, and Peyton, now 23, is living in New York City with her daughter Ivy, and her crazy British best friend Lottie Carter, working part time as a stripper to provide for them.
As Peyton and Keller are reunited, they discover the truths and the lies that left them both heartbroken.
But...
Will she take him back?
Can she forgive him for everything?
Will a chance meeting with the man that left her heartbroken and pregnant, take her back to the dark place he left her in?
Or will they find their love again?
~~Selina's 4 Star Review~~
Enticed by You by Amy Muscat are
about two people, Peyton and Keller, who grew up together and have a lifetime
of young memories. However, under awful
circumstances, each went their separate ways without the other and grew up to be
two very different people.
Peyton is a character that I admire. As a single mother, she put herself through
things that would shame people. Peyton did what others are sort of intimidated
to go through, but she did it. Peyton
sacrificed her dignity and had people question her integrity just to make sure
her daughter didn’t want for nothing. It
was heart breaking at parts when little Ivy, Peyton and Keller’s five year old
little girl, would ask about her father.
I actually had to take a break because I became an emotional mess.
Keller is this goofball, dirty
talking, alpha with a heart of gold. He
can make you blush and swoon pretty much simultaneously. I just love reading about men who love their
women and don’t care who knows it. My
heart may have melted throughout the book.
“He said that everyone loves some
pie. That they were always warm and when
you got a slice of pie, it made a person happy and he was always happy when I was
with him.” –Keller to Peyton
There were some grammar errors. Such as using the word “they” instead of “they’re”
and some run on sentences. Those were a
bit distracting I’ll have to admit but it didn’t take too much away from the
story. There were also a lot of fillers
that could have been flushed out.
I really actually enjoyed Enticed
by You. I stayed up all night and have the book hangover to prove it.
The story had a great plot and good execution; just a few things needed to
be tweaked. There is no cliffhanger but
maybe a second with the side characters?
I really want to know more about Lottie
and Blake’s story. I hope there is a
second book… hint, hint. I’m keeping an
eye out for this author and her future novels that are hopefully to come.
Amy Muscat is a twenty-two year old London girl, a bookaholic, and when she’s not writing or reading, you can find her pulling a pint behind the bar where she works, where she drives all her customers mad talking about people that don't exist.
