To the talented vocalist Justin Jones, love is merely a game that he plays by his own rules.
But to Bridget Dubois, love and heartache are one and the same.
Broken too many times before, the delicate beauty keeps her emotions carefully concealed. Bridget has her own set of rigid rules when it comes to men. She prefers to avoid them altogether, especially dangerously seductive auburn haired emerald eyed players like Justin.
But the new lead singer of the rising rock band Tempest doesn’t like to be ignored. Justin is used to getting what he wants, and now he’s set his sights on Bridget.
Suddenly, it’s no longer a game.
What do you do when the one you can’t have turns out to be the one you can’t live without?
As the pressure builds, will it temper them or will it shatter them both like fragile crystal?
*Each book in the Tempest series focuses on a different band member so technically they could be read alone, BUT would be much more enjoyable if read in order because of character back stories & continuing story lines*

"It would be so much easier with someone else to rely on.”—Bridget Dubois
This is the second book in the
Tempest Series by Michelle Mankin - Enticing Interlude. In this book we follow
along as Bridget Dubois calls upon her rehab roommate for a place to stay when
she has no other options. Her first day there she meets Justin Jones. From the
time they first lay eyes on each other, we know this is going to be a hard
earned relationship.
Bridget has been hurt too badly to
trust again and has to keep in mind that she has a son to think about too.
Justin was the player trying to clean up his act. Can they figure out how to
make it work or even give it a try?
This book was just as amazing as the
first one. Absolutely LOVED it. Justin was just fantastic and sweet. Bridget
made me want to cry because her feelings are so true and easy to feel.
I will say… Don't know that I'm
looking forward to the third book because I've come to have a strong distaste
for War so far, but I'll give it a shot since I've loved the other two.
MICHELLE MANKIN is the author of the Black Cat Records series of novels. Romance with subtext. For many years she worked in the insurance industry as an underwriter. Somehow, the boredom didn't kill her but the hour and hours of looking at facts and figures provided ample time for her mind to wander. Black Cat Records in Vancouver provides the central backdrop for all of Michelle’s current novels. Love Evolution, Love Revolution, and Love Resolution are a Brutal Strength centered trilogy, combining the plot underpinnings of Shakespeare with the drama, excitement, and indisputable sexiness of the rock 'n roll industry. Things take a bit of a darker, edgier, once upon a turn with the Tempest series. These pierced, tatted, and troubled Seattle rockers are young and on the cusp of making it big, but with serious obstacles to overcome that may prevent them from ever getting there. When Michelle is not prowling the streets of her Texas town listening to her rock music much too loud, she is putting her daydreams down on paper or traveling the world with her family and friends, sometimes for real, and sometimes just for pretend as she takes the children to school and back. BRUTAL STRENGTH SERIES: Love Evolution Love Revolution Love Resolution TEMPEST SERIES: Irresistible Refrain.
Two years ago everything changed for the remaining members of the Seattle rock band Tempest.
Two years is a long time.
Too long to keep on remembering.
Not nearly long enough to forget.
In trouble with nowhere else to go songstress Lace Lowell seeks refuge with the band during their stop in New York City. It's a risky move for her because they are both there, two impossibly good looking men whose lives are inseparably entwined with hers. One who bruised her heart and one who smashed it into pieces.
Warren “War” Jinkins, the mercurial lead singer of Tempest, has always had a thing for Lace. But then again so does his best friend and band mate.
Bryan “Bullet” Jackson, the sinfully handsome tat-sleeved lead guitarist, has a bad boy reputation befitting his nickname. For the past two years Bullet’s had a rule with the groupies: one time, never twice, leave ‘em satisfied, but always leave ‘em.
Two guys, one woman, and a host of dark secrets all together within the tight confines of a tour bus as the group travels cross country.
Can the past be forgotten and buried?
Will friendships prevail?
Or will the three of them succumb to seductive impulses too addictive to resist?
** Irresistible Refrain is a gritty rock and roll tale intended for mature readers seventeen and up. Contains sexual situations, strong language, and drug use. **
From the cover to the synopsis to
the first page all the way to the last page... this book captured me. I
couldn't put it down! There was just something about the inner strength that
Lace Lowell showed and the turbulence in her life and the fragile relationship
she had with Bryan. I never cared for War.. at all. This is a totally different
twist on a love triangle to me. It just felt so real and heart wrenching that
most love triangle books feel.
Bryan and Dizzy had been friends
since they were young. Dizzy's little sister, Lace, became a constant fixture
in Bryan's life until both of them move away. That's when Bryan and War meet.
When Bryan meets up with Dizzy again in high school, things start to get
complicated. They end up adding in two other friends and start up a bad with
War as the lead singer. Just as things start to take off for the band, things
in their personal lives spin into chaos.... you'll have to read just where
things go and where they land.
Excellent read 5 Stars!
