What surprised me the most about DON'T TEMPT ME, was how much story Ms. Chase was able to pack into the book without it being several hundred pages and without the story dragging at times. We really get to see the span of the relationship; the book doesn’t end at the marriage, like usual.
If all of Ms. Chase’s books are as enjoyable as DON'T TEMPT ME, I’ll have lots to look forward to between her backlist and any new releases.
