She was banished from England…and she banished him from her heart.

Upon her return to England following her father’s death, Miss Ava Knight becomes the owner of one of the largest racehorse estates in the country. There’s only one problem: the future of the estate requires a strong breeding program with the services of a stallion named, Titan. A shame that the horse is owned by a man she swore to never see again.

The Duke of Whitstone, Tate Wells, was heartbroken when Ava abandoned him on the night of their elopement, and he vowed to never lay eyes on Ava again. Despite Tate’s unwillingness to forgive Ava, she comes to his aid during a deliberately lit fire at his estate. Someone is determined to destroy them. Now, the two are forced to work together to ensure the safety of their horses and their homes.

Will their previous feelings for each other rekindle their love, or will their feelings stall out at the starting gates?

Tempt Me, Your Grace is book one in the League of Unweddable Gentlemen series by Tamara Gill. I enjoyed this book. There were twists and turns in the plot that I wasn’t expecting. I thought that the steamy sex scenes were a bit awkward. Gill uses the “c” word a bit too much for me. I liked the heroine Ava. She is an accomplished horse breeder and trainer. Since I am not familiar with horses, I wish Gill had inserted an appendix with definitions. “Luckily here at Knight’s Stables, Ava had her own gallop…” I thought a horse galloped. I didn’t know that a gallop is apparently a place? I did enjoy the romantic build-up between Tate and Ava. “She closed the space between them, reached up and took his lips in a searing kiss. The moment they touched a wave of rightness swamped her and she knew this was where she wanted to be. Not dancing with anyone else, or alone in Berkshire training horses, but in the arms of the boy whom she’d always loved, had lost and found once again as a grown man.” So a few negatives for me, but overall a good book.
