About this ebook

From bestselling romance author Julia Jarrett comes a steamy small town romance. Opposites attract and sparks fly between a bad boy billionaire and the introverted bookstore owner.


When my job lands me in Dogwood Cove, I have no intention of pretending to be someone I’m not. I especially didn’t intend to fall for a cautious, small-town bookstore owner who brings out a side of me I was convinced no longer existed.


We couldn’t be more opposite, but I can’t seem to stay away from her.


The problem is, if Paige knew the truth of who I was, how broken I really am, she’d run in the other direction. My emotional scars run deep, the chains of guilt weigh me down.


So when the truth comes to light, will I lose the love that has changed me forever?


Truth and Temptation is a heartwarming, swoony love story, perfect for readers who enjoy steamy small town romance with a heroine who has no idea what she’s missing in her love life, and a broken alpha hero determined to help her figure it out. Readers who want a dash of angst and a heavy dose of spice, with characters who help heal each other, and grow together as they fall in love with a guaranteed HEA. It is the fourth book in the Dogwood Cove series and can be read as a standalone, although the series is best enjoyed if read in order.


This series is for fans of Melanie Harlow, Adriana Locke, Claire Kingsley, Lucy Score, Laura Pavlov, Tia Louise, Jami Albright, Kandi Steiner and more.

Catching feelings for someone was the last thing on Wyatt’s mind when he showed up in Dogwood Cove. He’s just here for a quick respite from the job he never wanted. He certainly didn’t expect to come across quirky, smart, and beautifully awkward Paige, the owner of a small local bookstore. The connection between them is strong, and neither are prepared for the complications that arise when a fling turns into so much more. Wyatt and Paige are freakin adorable! This story is sweet and full of delightfully awkward moments that I may relate to a wee bit too much. I really enjoyed how this story focused on the internal struggles of each character, and how differently they grew as individuals through their developing relationship. We all struggle with our own issues, and we don’t change at the same rate or in the same way. Each new installment in the Dogwood Cove series has given us more in terms of story (and steam) which makes me so happy, as I believe it’s indicative of an author who is continuing to stretch and grow in their art, and I’m just happy she’s letting us stick around for the journey.

We are back in Dogwood Cove, Paige runs a bookstore called pages, she is quirky. When she runs into Wyatt it is the first time she has been attracted to a man, she had led an isolated life from social norms due a chronic illness growing up. Wyatt has shied away from attachment since the loss of this twin brother and his lack of dealing with the grief. This one will pull at your heartstrings. I received an Advance Readers Copy of this book with no obligation to write a review.

This is the fourth book in this fascinating series and is Wyatt and Paige’s story. Paige is the owner of a bookstore, and she is shy, innocent, and unique, and has led a sheltered life. Wyatt is struggling with family issues, and is the heir of a bookstore empire, and from the moment he arrives in town and meets Paige there is an instant connection between them. These two may be opposites but the complement each other by brig out the best off each other. This is a beautifully written story which has engaging and relatable characters, and is a sweet, and an emotional roller coaster, with loss, guilt, humor, witty banter, family, and love, which leads to a wonderful small-town romance. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.
