Description:
A former Black Ops assassin, “Lucky” Landon has had more near-misses than a man should ever have. Now he’s out of that business and settling into the simple life in his small hometown.

Taylor Elliott is Trouble, and she likes it that way. And seeing Lucky again? Well, he’s been her dirty little secret for the past few years and everyone knows that secrets in a small town are almost impossible to keep. But Taylor has bigger problems on her plate. Like the local mob boss who wants her dead.

And right now the only thing standing between Trouble and disaster is a hottie named Lucky…

Review:

HIS SOUTHERN TEMPTATION is book 2 of Robin Covington’s, ‘The Boys are Back in Town’ series!!  This story centers around David “Lucky” Landon and Mary-Taylor Elliott who have grown up together. This is a sweet romance that is full of action, humor and lots of hot, steamy loving!!

Lucky Landon is a former special-ops Marine that has returned to his small hometown to take over the family farm.  He is crashing at his best friend’s home, when he is woken in the middle of the night by the sound of a bullet being chambered near his head.  He disarms the intruder and discovers that it is his best friend’s little sister and BOY, do they share a history!!  They have had secret “hook ups” throughout the years and they share great chemistry. 

Lucky is determined to make their relationship more permanent, he just needs to talk independent Taylor into giving up her life in Hawaii and moving home with him.  Taylor is the “wild child” and doesn’t see herself settling down.  Her parents’ marriage failed miserably and very publically!  I loved this novel, because it is Lucky who has to convince Taylor!  The Alpha Male learns to grovel and persuade his woman to settle down with him!  They never deny their mutual attraction and their sex scenes are hot! Lucky is a very determined Marine who is not going to let Taylor back down without some smexy persuasion!

Lucky and Taylor love each other and it is Lucky that tells her that fact first!  He isn’t afraid to admit his feelings for Taylor to anyone in the town.  Taylor will do anything to help Lucky, she even hires herself out as a stripper to help him solve a case.  The nefarious villain in the novel kidnaps Taylor and Lucky cashes out his life savings to pay the ransom.  This is a modern day love story, because Taylor is torn between her career in Hawaii and giving it all up for a man.  Her mother plays into her fears by reminding her that she sacrificed all for her husband and he dumped her for his young paralegal.  Women need to think about this nowadays!  Can we really have it all?  The reader learns through the kidnapping, bar room fights and meddling family members that Lucky and Taylor are really devoted to each other.  HIS SOUTHERN TEMPTATION was a refreshing contemporary novel that proves that with mutual sacrifice, a couple can really have it all!!
