Beschrijving uitgever
Right guy, wrong place. Extremely wrong place.
Mabel Bowen’s the goddess of morning radio, doing a job she loves with her best friend in the world. Why would a goddess bother with men when all they do is threaten her public image and her professional bliss?
Everything changes when she meets her station’s new accountant. Not a hotshot neurosurgeon or an Italian supermodel or Ryan Gosling undercover to research a role. A frickin' accountant.
Mabel knows dating a coworker’s a terrible idea, but Jake Carey’s meticulous spreadsheets and killer smiles are hard to resist. (So are the muscles hiding under his expensive suits, if she’s being honest.) Before long, their friendly coffees have turned into flirty lunches, then scorching late-night encounters that have Mabel rethinking all her no-romance rules.
But when she learns that Jake’s involved in a plan to upend her job, Mabel’s first instinct is to retreat to her safe single life. Is he worth the risk to her heart, or will she end up spinning heartbreak songs yet again?
“The right blend of sass and steam. Sara Whitney’s smooth, upbeat prose is a delight to read.” Elle Greco, author of the LA Rock Star Romance series
This funny, spicy workplace romance features a demisexual hero who falls first (and falls hard), a "wish she was my bestie" heroine, and the best dang dad band in Beaucoeur, Illinois. Like all of the books in Sara Whitney's Cinnamon Roll Alphas series, Tempting Talk gives you playful banter, upbeat vibes, and a very happy ending.

Sassy radio DJ finds Love with Ambitious Accountant
Sarah Whitney, ‘Tempting Talk’.
Tempt Me series, book 3.
As a Hidden Gems ARC reader I received a free copy and promised an honest review. Here it is.
Rating: 4 stars (of 5).
In general: Sassy radio DJ finds love with ambitious accountant .
Main characters:
- Mabel (Mae) Brown.
DJ at a local radio station in Beaucoeur, Illinois. She’s content with her single status since - years ago - a bad break up with her former boyfriend, son of her boss, resulted in loosing her dream job at a great radio station in California.
- Jake Carey.
Since his youth he - successfully - worked very hard to lift his family out of poverty. No time for pleasure or dates.
- Dave Chilton.
For many years Mabel’s partner in their duo radio talk show. He was loyal to Mae when she was fired in California and followed her to Illinois. He’s happily married and he and his wife are Mabel’s best friends.
Mabel and Jake meet when the firm of Jake’s friend Brandon buys the Beaucoeur radio station. Jake’s accountancy is hired by Brandon to make the local, heretofore family owned radio station profitable. Brandon as the new owner will modernize the radio station and Jake will assist him with info of the financial aspects of the sale. A successful assignment will make him partner of his firm
Jake and Mabel are physically attracted from the first moment. But to start a permanent relationship will be problematic: Mabel had a bad experience in the past and Jake’s ambition to create a profitable radio station could conflict with wishes of the staff (and Mabel).
Then the author, Sarah Whitney, creates an nice plot with wonderful characters, unexpected turns in the story and interesting information about a local radio station.
In my opinion it’s a good thing that Sarah Whitney isn’t a copy writer for DJ talkshows: for me the jokes between Mae and Dave felt a bit forced and not really funny. But that was made up for by the rest of the book. A pleasure to read.
