Forbidden love is hell...

Confident and quirky, Jo Sanford thinks her boss is God's gift to women--and she couldn't be further from the truth. Devilishly handsome, Luc DeVille will stop at nothing to lure his administrative assistant right into his arms--and bed.

Over Rafe Goodman's dead body...

Rafe, Jo's best friend, refuses to sit by and watch as Luc tries to win the heart of the woman he's always protected. After all, Rafe is her guardian angel. Suddenly, Jo's caught in the middle of a battle between good and evil. But the closer she gets to the fire, the hotter it burns. Now, Jo's going to learn that when love battles lust, Heaven and Hell collide.

Review

"Ladies and gentleman, Nancee Cain does it again! I just LOVE the way she writes about angels and make them seem so human." --Beauty and the Beastly Book Blog

"...her stories really make you feel genuine emotions. At first I was halfin-lust with Luc and I can totally understand Jo's fascination with him, but Rafe..... oh brother! I want my own guardian angel and he must be just like him!! " --Kat Loves Books Blog

"Tempting Jo is a battle between Heaven and Hell, good versus evil with a human caught in the crossfires. This is a book you want to finish in one sitting even if it's 7am, because you just have to know what happens between these characters." --Southern Book Nerd Blog

"Nancee Cain creates magic in the pages she writes: her angels are sinfully unangelic, her humans are downright flawed and completely relateable, her plots are impeccable, and her writing is genius." -Paranormal, Magic & Mischief Blog

About the Author

During the day, Nancee works as a nurse in the field of addiction to support her coffee and reading habit. Nights are spent writing paranormal and contemporary romances with a serrated edge. Authors are her rock stars, and she's been known to stalk a few for an autograph, but not in a scary, Stephen King way. Her husband swears her To-Be-Read list on her e-reader qualifies her as a certifiable book hoarder. Always looking to try something new, she dreams of being an extra in a Bollywood film, or a tattoo artist. (Her lack of rhythm and artistic ability may put a damper on both of these dreams.)

5.0 out of 5 stars What’s a girl to do when Good and Evil are fighting for her attention
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2016

I finished Tempting Jo in two days; and I still am having a book hang over. You don’t have to read Saving Evangeline first; this story stand all on its own, but a few characters pop in and out of Jo’s story. Remi has been sent to bring Rafe back to the boss’s office. Rafe feels that he is in for punishment because he was unable to stop Remi from crossing the line while he was on his assignment on earth. The Boss is truly worried about Rafe and tells him that he needs to learn to loosen up and enjoy life, but he knows that Rafe is by the book and thinks having fun would let the boss down. The Boss tells Rafe he needs to go to Earth and get Jo on the right path and once he feels she is safe, he needs to take a Vacation before returning home. I don’t want to ruin this story by giving to much away. I can tell you will be surprised who is working with whom and along the way you will laughing out loud. The characters are hot and sexy, even though you find yourself wanting smack Luc DeVille smug smile off his face…lol Once again, Nancee thanking you for not only sharing another great story but sharing your talent. You will be sorry if you do not add both Temping Jo and Saving Evangeline to your TBR list.

I have to admit something about angels just piques me and two of them though of different nature meaning good vs bad just makes it doubly interesting.

Of course angels are gorgeous, built and have style. But when they compete against one another and the banter just rolls on and on I can't stop laughing as I'm reading. I love banter and just like its predecessor Saving Evangeline it had plenty plus some of the same characters showed an appearance.

The flow of the book was steady and though you get the jest of what is going on from the beginning Nanceen keeps us in the dark of who will win out in the end or if anyone wins at all. Then to change it up a bit she gives us a surprise twist in the end and not only was I surprise by the out come the characters get one too.

It was a charming love story and I loved the epilogue at the end it made it complete. Thank you Nancee for a bit of heaven.

Review A super fun story about a love triangle straight from heaven...or would that be hell? I was surprised to find myself at times rooting for Mr. DeVille. Just don't tell Rafe, okay? Because of course I was rooting for him, too.

I love the way this author portrays God. He's quirky and human-ish, but reverence for Him is maintained throughout. I was very happy to see "Madge" play a role in this story! I also like that the HEA didn't come easily to the happy couple - they had to work for it.

I am a big fan of Nancee Cain. Her first book, Saving Evangeline, is one of my favorite reads. Her second is no exception. She's created believable, complex characters, and put a twist in the traditional view of Heaven and Hell and angels and devils that will make you smile. Jo is a fully fleshed out character that is torn between her best friend and a bad boy. This story, like Saving Evangeline, has a wonderfully thoughtful theme about love and sacrifice that I found myself thinking about long after I read it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A battle between good and evil with a human in the mix!!!
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2016
Tempting Jo is a battle between Heaven and Hell, good verse evil with a human caught in the crossfires. It is also a book that you want to finish in one sitting because you are determined to find out what happens. You are asking yourself just what does each character have up their sleeves. It’s a book that causes you to stay up till 7am to finish. Tempting Jo was the perfect blend of paranormal and romance.

Good girl Jo wants to dance with the devil! Her hot boss Luc is everything, well almost. He is a douchebag lol but very hot, smooth talker and looks damn good in a suit. He has his eyes set on Jo but the question is what are his true intentions. Now Rafe is Jo’s guardian angel and best friend since they were four years old and it’s his job to protect Jo from her boss. Jo somewhat annoyed me because she repeated over and over she is a 25 year old and she knows how to take care of herself but yet was such a willing participant when it came to her boss. At the same time I have to give it to Jo because as the reader you know what Luc is up to and you want to bitch slap him. On the other hand there is her best friend Rafe, oh Rafe. Every woman deserves to have a Rafe in their life to look after them and care about them the way he does Jo.

Even between the battle of good verses evil we are shown what it means to truly love another. We see just how much one person is willing to go to show the person they love just how much they mean to them. Nancee Cain does an amazing job in writing this story. The way she writes about these hotter than hell angels it’s like they are down to earth humans with a flare. One of my favorite things about the way this story is written is all the southernisms that Nancee uses throughout the story. As a southern girl myself it tickled me to see many of the phrases that I use throughout this book. I have to say that I enjoyed seeing some of the other angels as well and the very last chapter of the book left me in tears from laughing so hard. Madge is my spirit animal. I can’t wait to see what else Nancee comes out with!

What is not to love about this book??? It's everything I want in a romance--sweet, sexy, clever. It's a story that pulled me in and had me loving the super clever way that Nancee Cain has worked with the classic archetype of angels and the devil to create really enjoyable characters. I just finished it and I'm on that floaty book high that I get when I truly don't want the story to end.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for smart writing in a romance and super sweet characters with a spicy side too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scorching hot Angel lust ;)

It felt like the wait between Saving Evangeline & Tempting Jo was an "Eternity" LOL!!! SE had such a lasting impression on me that I could not wait to get my hands on TJ. As I just knew Nancee Cain would not disappoint.

Jo has been sorely tempted by her boss Luc DeVille who will stop at nothing torturing Rafe Goodman with his threats to claim his quirky assistant for himself. Jo has definitely had some R-rated thoughts about Bossman & wants to be someone he would like to be with.

"I want to eat you, like a big ole piece of lemon pie. I'd bet you'd be tart at first bite, but then sweet."

Rafe will stop at nothing to protect Jo from the devil himself. All Rafe needs to do is get Jo to stop fantasizing about Mr. Devil and focus on him .

"I'm a starving angel, and she is an all-you-can-eat human buffet."

Although Jolene can feel the shift in her relationship with Rafe can she take off her blinders where Luc is concerned and see what has been in front of her the whole time?

"One man I want desperately to kiss, and I've just sampled the lips of the other. And what a kiss. It was like being zapped by a jolt of electricity."

I loved this book so much. Just as much as it's predecessor. Now I just have my fingers crossed that we will be getting Madge's story at some point.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nancee Cain is a Goddess when it comes to writing stories about angels...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 17, 2016

I read Saving Evangeline last year and couldn’t put it down; so I was really excited when this book was released. And I wasn’t disappointed!
It’s a standalone book, but there are hints to Saving Evangeline throughout (and the first chapter of Saving Evangeline at the end- yay). Jo is a really likeable character, whose colloquialisms had me laughing out loud. I loved that she was so accessible and relatable. We’ve all been there- wanting the ‘bad boy’- and Jo embodies this with a perfect vulnerability, humour and quick wit. She stands out (as Evangeline did) from your usual protagonist. Jo is original, feisty and believable, and someone I would love to have as a friend. Her growth in the story is beautiful. I don’t know whether the author meant to leave readers feeling contemplative, but I came away thinking about what it means to be alive. Material wealth and power vs priceless happiness felt like one of the themes to me. And it felt GOOD.
Rafe and Luc are both Angels (Luc being of the fallen variety), so this novel has two very fine and hot men (angels) vying for Jo’s attention- however their motivations are vastly different! Whether you like the good guy or the bad guy, you won’t be disappointed, because Jo is seemingly drawn to both. I hate reading spoilers, so I won’t write anything else on what happens.
We get to read from Jo, Rafe and Luc’s perspective which was brilliant and seamlessly done- for me, I loved reading from Luc’s perspective because it gave him a depth I never expected.
The writing was fast-paced and deep POV; it’s funny, sweet, heart-warming and full of testosterone. I couldn’t put it down. I would 100% recommend this, and I hope that we get to read more angel stories…

Rafe, Luc, an appearance from Gabe and Madge, even throw in reference to the wonderful Remi from Saving Evangeline, and Jo, makes for an amazing combination of characters! Jo is a feisty, funny young woman under the guidance of Rafe since childhood. However, the naughty Luc DeVille becomes the object of her desire. Will she make a pact with the devilishly DeVille or will the angelic Rafe save her? Another wonderful story by Nancee, thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommended.
