"Can a childhood crush mature into the real
thing? Kayla Martinez has recently landed an RN position at a prestigious
hospital in her hometown. The new job is everything she's hoped for, especially
when one hot specimen shows up in the ER. She hasn't seen her childhood crush
in years, and considering how much hotter he's gotten over time, she almost
ends up needing resuscitation. The last thing Nico LaCosta needs is a broken
arm.
Now his pal's kid sister wants to soothe his
pain, but he'd rather keep his distance so her big brother doesn't break his
other arm. Kayla's no child anymore, though. She's one hot-blooded woman,
determined to remind him of a mind-blowing kiss back when they were teenagers.
Leave it to Kayla to drop by his house unannounced and play Nurse Seductive. A
guy has to follow the buddy code, or face the consequences. Still, sometimes
giving in to temptation is worth it... "

My review:
First lines
of the story: “She felt like such a stalker. Miracle no one had called the cops to
report that some random chick kept doing drive-bys in their peaceful
neighborhood. Then again, maybe no one had noticed. Kayla Martinez hoped for
the latter. Casing Nico La Costa’s house like a crack addict in need of a quick
fix topped her list of most embarrassing
moments. Getting arrested for said behavior would definitely screw up her
plans.”Wow! What can I say… Diane Escalera has done it again with the second part in her Latin Heat trilogy. She pulls you in right from the start with her hawt and captivating characters, once you start to read you can’t stop. I loved the first part in this trilogy about three cousins, we already met Dylan and Shay in Still Hot For You and now we meet Nico and Kayla. Like Still Hot For You this story focuses on one event, one weekend that changes the lives of Nico and Kayla forever. Although this story is only 90 pages long, Diane Escalera managed to create a believable story with depth and character development, the attraction between Nico and Kayla vibrates from the pages, making this story one hawt, fast read.
Kayla never forgot the one kiss she shared with Nico all those years ago. He ruined her for other men, but Nico has a rule: he stays away from his friends younger sisters. Kayla has worked hard to get her RN position at the hospital, all work and no play. She is confident, feisty and determined; she has achieved all her goals but one, Nico. When he shows up in her ER with a broken arm she decides it is now or never and plans a wicked seduction to win his heart.
Nico La
Costa knows what he wants. He works hard to achieve his career goals, he takes
good care of himself, he values his family and friends and he likes to have a
good time with a hot babe every now and then, but he is not looking for
something serious right now. I felt a bit sorry for Nico, here is this hot
looking, confident guy who doesn’t stand a chance from the moment feisty Kayla
passes his threshold to seduce him, gone is his perfect, organized life and his
confidence.
Like I said
before this is a short story, I usually don’t like short stories because they
often don’t work for me, but Diane Escalera knows how to balance her stories
perfectly. She provides you with the right amount of background information and
combines this with strong, likeable characters and the right dose of sexual
tension. It is fast-paced but never felt rushed, Nico and Kayla’s characters
are well-layered, especially Nico’s.
The Right
Temptation is about two people falling in love, two people who are meant to be
together. The way Diane Escalera describes Nico makes you want to jump his
bones, so hawt…. He is also the one put through the emotional wringer, Kayla
scares him with her intentions and he needs time to get used to all the new
emotions Kayla stirs up. I love Kayla’s strength and confidence; she does not
hesitate to pursue her dreams.
Once again Diane Escalera delivers a heartwarming
and sexy read, The Right Temptation is an abundance of smoldering romance,
chemistry and one serious hawt hero! Keep your fan nearby!4 stars
