Blurb
Off-limits never looked so tempting...problem is,
she's my ex's little sister.
Cade men are known for two things: arrogance and competitiveness. I grew up in one of the wealthiest, most dysfunctional families in Lake Tahoe, and all I wanted was to get the hell out. I thought I'd succeeded. Until an accident burned up my firefighter ambitions. Then Dad died and left me in charge of the family's luxury resort.
Now I've got financially uptight advisors telling me what to do, and I need someone I can trust working at my side. The perfect candidate walks through the door in her pencil skirt, fitted white blouse, and that mass of wavy blond hair she tries to contain.
The only problem? She's my cheating ex's younger sister.
Hell no. The last thing I need is another Wright female in my life.
But Emily's good at the job, and she seems trustworthy. I should ignore the desire I have for her. But after all I've lost, I'm tempted by what I can't have and ready to stoke the flame that smolders between us. As long as this Wright sister doesn't betray me the way the last one did.
Then again, I always liked playing with fire.

Excerpt
She climbed to her feet and leaned into him, tracing the
scar above his eye. “I like this scar.”
He chuckled and dropped his cheek into her hand. “Glad it pleases someone. It didn’t feel too good when it happened.”
“I don’t like it because you were hurt. It’s just—it brought you to me. And it reminds me that you’re not the same person I met years ago. That we’ve both changed… However”—she grinned saucily—“scars are pretty hot.”
He tugged at her top and kissed her collarbone, tickling her with his lips, because the naughty man had quickly discovered a sensitive spot. “My scar looks hot, does it?”
She laughed as he continued to pepper her skin with light kisses. She lifted her shoulder in defense. “Very sexy.”
“Hmmm, don’t give me ideas, Emily, or I won’t let you go home.”

Review
If you are looking for a hero that protects those close to him, support his family with everything breath he takes, and loves with his whole heart than Tempting Levi is what you need.
This is my first book from Jules Barnard and I know it won't be my last. As soon as I picked up Tempting Levi I couldn't put it down until it was finished. The writing is captivating and the story alluring. I feel hard and fast for Levi Cade and continued to swoon with each passing page.
I love Emily and her ability to give just as good as she gets. Her sassy, witting banter with Levi is priceless and I couldn't get enough of it.
I adore the dynamic Levi has with his brothers and can't wait to get to know them better as the series continues. Even Emily's relationship with Lisa is intriguing.
I really enjoyed Tempting Levi with its hero with a huge heart, heroine with feistiness, and a story line that is enthralling. And the sexiness is just the right amount of hot and saucy.
I would highly recommend Tempting Levi whole heartily.
