Product Description
From Booklist
*Starred Review* The frigid-hearted matriarch of the Buchanan clan has just told Dani that she's not really one of them since she's the result of her mother's illicit affair. Dani's search for her biological father leads her to Senator Mark Canfield, a candidate for president of the United States. Alex Canfield is the oldest of Mark and Katherine's large, adopted brood. As the senator's loyal, right-hand man, Alex is suspicious about the feisty woman who claims to be his father's daughter, and the media has a field day with news of a surprise love child. Mark naively believes that his warm, loving wife will readily accept his newfound daughter, unaware of the depth of her insecurities about not being able to bear a child. Alex and Dani find themselves drawn to each other as their constant bantering becomes verbal foreplay, but his ex-wife wants him back. Life in the public eye, old wounds, and family relations are all skillfully examined in this latest offering in Mallery's popular Buchanan family series (Delicious, 2006; Irresistible, 2006; Sizzling, 2007). At turns witty and poignant, this hard-to-put-down book will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers. Mosley, Shelley

Tempting and Powerful Ending to the Buchanan Series,
By
This review is from: Tempting (Mass Market Paperback)
Tempting was just that from the moment Dani Buchanan entered the Senator's office to find out if he was her biological father. What she didn't expect was to run head on into the handsome and sexy Alex Canfield, the Senator's adoptive son. Dani's luck with men during the past few years was a disaster......a failed marriage, a cheating and lying married man; she was his victim, and then meeting an ex-priest, what a mess. So Dani decided she would swear off men and would concentrate on her new job and finding out if Senator Canfield was her biological father.The only way to describe this book was an emotional one for me and the end of Susan Mallery's incredible Buchanan family series. The past books sum up my thoughts, Delicious, Irresistible and Sizzling. In each former book you meet Dani's strong and callous Grandmother Gloria and her three brothers, Cal, Walker and Reid all of whom are involved in Buchanan Enterprises and run a chain of restaurants, a coffee company and a sports bar. Dani you'll learn is the only family member other than her sister-in-law Penny in having a career with Buchanan Enterprises. The others are blackmailed by their "nasty" grandmother Gloria into helping save the business and when Gloria becomes seriously ill, they all rise to the cause and pitch in to help out Cal takes over the Waterfront Restaurant, Walker runs the corporation, Reid moves into to the mansion to help out with Gloria and her recovery. However, Dani is hurt that all of her years trying to impress her Grandmother have been for nothing. In the end when Gloria strikes out and tells Dani, she's not really a Buchanan and that her mother had an affair and she was the product of it, she's plain and simply devastated. Of course, she takes stalk in her life, swears off men, begins a new job in a new restaurant and sets out to find out who she is with her brothers and sister-in-laws giving her the love and support she needs. During this "discovery" time, her Grandmother realizes with the help of her nurse that she needs to appreciate her family and Gloria rises to the cause, by making amends with her grandsons, their wives and makes strides to mend her relationship with her granddaughter, Dani. The bond these two women form will make you weep! Tempting is about family, trust, temptation, healing and the power of love. But most of all about family and discovery! I applaud Susan Mallery on her very powerful series, one I will long remember!

Has Dani found her Soulmate?,
By B. Ferris "fun book lover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tempting (Mass Market Paperback)
What a wonderful conclusion to the Buchanan series! All 3 brothers, Cal & Walker & Reid have found their soulmates so Dani would like to, too.It's been a lousy year she hasn't had the best of luck with men. There was that lousy cheating husband that she divorced, that charming but married man then to top it off the ex-priest who was a nice man but wanted Dani to help him there this hard time for him LOL Dani finds out she isn't a Buchanan really. Her mother had an affair with a this man and she was the outcome of the affair. The Buchanan grandmother, Gloria, has finally told her in a very cruel way of this but now Gloria is trying to be a nice and kind person after her death scare and tells her the man's name. Dani can hardly believe it but does go looking for him. The story opens with Dani and the adopted son, Alex, of the U.S. Senator Mark Canfield going round and round with sparks flying when she is trying to see the Senator without telling the exact reason she'd like to see him. The Senator happens upon this exchange and hears Dani say the Senator may be her birth father. The Senator is exploring running for President and this will be not a good thing to come out. Dani meets the Senator but thought there would be an instant feeling of love and understanding but there isn't on her part. The Senator wants to talk about her mother-he doesn't even know Dani can hardly remember her. The Senator has been married to Katherine since right after Marsha broke off their affair. Katherine and he have adopted 8 children, most with special needs, and have enjoyed their life together even though he has been a politician most of it. Mark wants Dani to be part of his life and Katherine has to learn to like Dani. Dani admires Katherine so much she doesn't even realize that Katherine has her reservations about this *new* daughter. Dani's not sure she needs this new family though. Dani and Alex try to ignore each other, really even with the sparks flying. They both see what a mess this would create for Mark and Katherine. This is the story of Dani finding her soulmate and Alex learning to love again with all his heart. This book made me cry, laugh and love each character and there are so many to care about. Katherine and her children are so special Dani can only love them. As with all of Ms Mallery's book this is a fun and loving book. I've enjoyed all 4 of the Buchanan books DELICIOUS (Cal & Penny), IRRESISTABLE (Walker & Elissa), SIZZLING (Reid & Lori) and now TEMPTING. I recommend them! 44 of 50 people found the following review helpful

Dissapointing (spoilers),
By Bronwyn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tempting (Mass Market Paperback)
I know I'm in the minority with this review, but I really disliked this book. This book shows Dani Buchannan finding her biological father and falling in love with her father's adopted son. There was no spark between the heroine and the hero, and that the writing was horrible e.g when Dani calls Alex 'dragon boy'. I felt Katherine's and the Senator's relationship could have been fleshed out more, and that Katherine should have left him in the end. (Yes, I was hoping for a seperation in a romance novel!)I thought Dani was stupid for believing Fiona, Alex's ex and Alex was silly for not letting his family know that Fiona was a cheating psychopath. But hey, what's a romance without a silly misunderstanding and a silly heroine. Even sillier was Alex and Dani worrying about the campaign because of her discovery, then decide to have 'hot monkey sex'. (WHO uses the phrase 'hot monkey sex'?!) In closing, I also think it lame that I will get inundated with 'no helps' just because I'm writing an honest (if simple sounding) review. Sorry guys, this book IMO, deserves 1 star. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

I expected more,
By Lynn West Simsbury "farbie" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tempting (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed the first three books of this series and was really looking forward to Dani's story. The book starts off promising but then just seems to get dull and repetitive. I missed the romance (Alex did seem like a hottie - why not show more? and the fact that Dani really did have a life outside of taking Alex's sister for shoes in the mall. Overall, this book wasn't terrible but it wasn't one I'd want to give to a friend. Disappointing.
