Publisher Description
Tempting Tristan is a stand-alone M/M romance featuring two sexy, hot alphas. One injured war hero, one man who has loved and lost. Each struggling for a future not bound by his painful past.
TRISTAN
I’m fresh off the heels of yet another bad relationship.
I’m done. I’m taking a break from men to figure out what I keep doing wrong.
I know my faults. I lead with my heart, not my head. But that’s never going to change.
A few weeks into my no dick hiatus, I think I’ve got a handle on things.
That is, until badass heartthrob Alex Wells strolls into my bar.
ALEX
Eight years in the Army, months in a hospital bed, and far too long hiding my sexual identity has left me damaged, pissed off, and up for a Silver Star—for the incident that nearly cost me my life, and kept me from my grandmother's funeral.
All I want is to forget my stint with the institution that allows but doesn't necessarily accept, and live the life I’ve always wanted. The hot bartender coming my way, just might be my gateway drug.
But I’m f*cked up.
The closer he gets, the more my walls go up, and he’s going to find out that my physical scars aren’t the ones that run the deepest.

4 star Review of Tempting Tristan: Tristan Brewer (Harborside Nights #3)
This is the first book I have read from this series and I loved it. This is a M/M story and the story of Tristan Brewer and Alex Wells.
After a traumatic break up Tristan decides he needs to take a break from men. His biggest problem is he leads with his heart, not his head and he is finally beginning to stabilise his feelings, that is until Alex walks into the bar he works in.
What’s a man to do? The attraction between these two is instant. Alex is ex-military and was badly injured so much so that he missed his grandmother’s funeral, a fact he still feels guilty about.
The chemistry between Alex and Tristan is sizzling; it is off the charts, you can almost feel the flames as they heat up the pages.
Alex struggles with PTSD and the injuries he received and now that he has been honourably discharged from service, he is determined to live the life he had to hide whilst in the military. When he and Tristan become closer, he panics and the walls that e erects become almost insurmountable. I loved how kind and caring Tristan is with Alex. I also loved how vulnerable the strong and proud Alex was with Tristan.
This was a wonderful story about two hot and sexy men who fall in love. I have to say that in my opinion the speed in which they fell in love was a tad unbelievable, but then this is fiction and I suppose anything can happen. I just felt the speed with which they fell in love, detracted from the storyline and that the book might have benefited with a little further exploration as they moved towards a relationship instead of falling in love instantly.
Having said that, the story was well written and I really liked the characters of Alex and Tristan, separately and together and I will be looking to read the other books in the series.
