I’ve never been one to follow the rules–especially when they’re someone else’s.

Skylark, Colorado, was supposed to be a pit stop. A quick detour while I figured out my next move. I wasn’t expecting her.

Iris Dixon. The girl I let go ten years ago. The one I should have fought for. Now she’s standing in front of me, all grown up, still impossibly beautiful…and looking at me like I’m a surprise root canal.

Too bad the universe just paired us up in her brand-new dance class.

She says she hates me. I don’t blame her. I was reckless, angry, and I broke her heart when she least deserved it. But I’m not that guy anymore.

She thinks she’s the one playing it safe. Truth is, Iris has always been the brave one, keeping her life together while the people around her fell apart. Now she’s trying to loosen up and live a little. I want to be the one she lives it up with.

But just when it feels like we might get a second chance, the ghosts of our past come back swinging.

I’ve made a lot of mistakes, but letting her go again? That’s one I won’t repeat. Even if it means rewriting every rule I’ve ever known.

Title:  Someone to Tempt
Series:  Skylark #2
Author:  Michelle Major
Published:  May 22, 2025
My Rating:  4.5 stars

Someone to Tempt is the second title in the Skylark series, featuring Iris, who has been temporarily filling in the mayor’s position but is currently campaigning for the elected position of mayor.  Trouble is, she’s not always seen in a positive light by some of the residents because of her financial decisions for Skylark… and there is that old scandal that just keeps popping up.  Now, Jake is back in town.  Her old crush, the man who is so changed from the boy she once idolized, until one night everything changed.  Thanks to her friends in the book club, she’s going to have to get far closer to Jake than she’s comfortable with.  She can have fun, she can loosen up, and she’ll prove it in the most heartbreaking ways.

Jake is holding on to secrets.  He’s been painted with a brush that doesn’t define him, yet he’s let that impression live on for far too long.  While he allows assumptions to flourish, watching Jake and Iris, along with the townsfolk, as well, made for a very emotional and satisfying journey for this couple to find their happy ending… the one that fits them now, no longer defined by the past.

I found Someone to Tempt by Michelle Major to be an emotional, well-written, and eye-opening experience.  Found family is often far more than we expect, and that is proven quite deeply in this story.  If you love a romance that will touch your heart, make you wonder “what if”, and have secrets finally revealed, then you’d love this one.

I read this title through my Kindle Unlimited subscription.
