Publisher's summary

He’s hunting a killer so she won’t be next.

Single dad Garrett Haven doesn’t have time for dating. With a teenage son and a high-stakes job in law enforcement, he has enough on his plate.

Besides, he risked his heart once. He has no intention of doing it again.

Until he meets her.

Harper Tilburn brought her passion for baking to the small town of Tilikum to take over her aunt’s bakery. Anything else will have to wait, at least until her bad luck curse runs out.

Her dating hiatus is essential, and she’s sticking to it.

Until she meets him.

The sparks that fly between Garrett and Harper are instantaneous—their attraction undeniable. And suddenly, the practical, responsible sheriff’s deputy is throwing caution to the wind, boldly pursuing Harper, determined to make her his.

But when the cold case Garrett is investigating takes a chilling turn, he fears the perpetrator will strike again—and Harper will be his target. With his career—and his life—on the line, he’ll sacrifice everything to protect the people he loves, and catch a killer before it’s too late.

Author’s note: a buttoned-up sheriff’s deputy gets thoroughly unbuttoned by a sweet as sugar baker. A hero who falls hard and fast, a heroine you’ll root for, a teenage son who will steal your heart, gripping suspense with a shocking twist, and heartwarming found family vibes with a big HEA.

Temptation Trails can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Oh the temptations!

What a masterful blend of thrilling and riveting suspense, swoon, love, witty banter, intense passion, spice, humor, and criminal intrigue!
Harper and Garrett are a match made in romantic suspense lovers heaven, and Temptation Trails was simply unputdownable.
Add an adorable teen, matchmaking aunties, large family and engaging (sometimes mischievous) community, and you get the best immersive story telling experience! Oh! And let’s not forget the squirrels!
I devoured Temptation Trails in one sitting, teetering on the edge of my seat - a testament to the author’s skill and ability to keep us transfixed until the final word.
The narration was phenomenal, it provided an added dimension, and allowed me to immerse myself in the story.
I wholeheartedly recommend this suspenseful masterpiece to anyone who enjoys a superb romantic thriller!

Does not disappoint!

I really like Claire Kingsley’s suspense romance series so was glad to see this new addition to the Havens. This one was excellent. I RARELY rate a 5. It kept my attention every minute. a Kingsley book with jason Clarke is an immediate buy for me, but both narrators were excellent and I truly didn’t know who the perp was until the end. It makes me want to listen to the first 2 in the series again…

Garrett and Harper are DELICIOUS

Audio Review:
These narrators do a fantastic job with this book. They make sure all the emotion is right there in their voices. They add a unique inflection when voicing other characters in a scene. I loved how both portrayed our leads.

Book Review:
One thing I love about this series is how each brother's romantic timeline varies just enough. Garrett isn't looking for love. He is fairly on the side of 'not worth the effort' but he also isn't extremely hard headed once the romance presents itself as potentially life changing. I loved how he was with his family and his son. He shows he's the boy scout while also accepting he can't control everything and get it all right. I was SO frustrated at some of the turns coming for him but obviously it worked out in the end.

Harper was so refreshing. She was light-hearted but also took things seriously. She has her silly reasons for some things but doesn't become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Her relationship with Owen and the wives was fun and impactful. She got a lot of closure in this book and I was happy for it.

I love how the suspense is playing out in these books. This one was frustrating (on behalf of the characters) and there are some red herrings. Above it all, the plot and romance are balanced. I hate a romantic suspense that sacrifices either for the other, so this was great!

audiobook review

I loved the chosen narrators for these characters! They did a wonderful job becoming these characters and selling the plot and they immediately captured my ears and heart from beginning to end.

4.5 stars
book review

I loved the flow of the plot, the main and side characters, the small-town feel, and the murder/mystery suspense. Add the whole single dad and the superstitious fmc and this story got devoured in one day.

Claire and Jason and Rose = perfection

Great story with romance and suspense and humor and steam

Jason Clark can do NO wrong as far as I’m concerned (EVER) and Rose Dioro was the perfect Harper.

10/10!!!

The audio for this story is PERFECTION!!!!!

Oh my goodness!! Love this book sooooooo hard!! This is definitely one of my favorite CK books and I love them all haha.

Garret and Harper are everything!! Their love story is fun, sweet, funny and face paced. Mystery and suspense thrown in. Who doesn’t love a hot cinnamon roll alpha who will do anything to protect his lady? Bad luck and all it’s a great ride!

Owen is such a great character and needs to be protected at all costs! I hope when he’s all grown up he get his own book 😉

Good Story, Great Narration

I enjoyed this book, and I have really liked this series so far.
But when I saw that Garrett was getting his book and him being a single dad, I couldn't not read it.

Garrett is the single dad, and he wears a uniform! You had me from the start with this man. He has such a kind heart, and I really liked his work ethic. He didn't give up.
Harper is a baker and makes the best cookies. I enjoyed the descriptions of her baked goods. She is sweet and kind, I loved the way she took to Owen (Garrett's son) right away. She is a great character.

This audio is really good. I loved it more because of the narrators than anything. When you have a great narrator reading the story, it makes the book even better. And that is what happened with this one. Jason is amazing as always, and I have loved listening to more of Rose's work. These two are great together, and the flow was perfect.

I like this world and will wait for the next book to come to audio...

Garrett Is My Favorite Haven!

Claire Kingsley is in her small town romantic suspense era and I am utterly obsessed!!

These Haven brothers had me thirsting for their stories since I first met them in the Bailey brothers series.

Garrett Haven has officially claimed the top spot in my heart of the Haven brothers! Shhh, don’t tell the others. He’s also made his way to my favorites of Claire’s heroes, a seriously tough feat with me having read all her books.

But, man oh man it’s something about a man who’s a gentleman with a possessive side. That wall scene just took me by surprise in the best and hottest ways. Single dad Garrett might’ve made me swoon but growly Garrett is the sexiest Garrett.

Harper was just freaking adorable. Like you couldn’t help but love her. She was so sweet and her inner musings kept me laughing. She had this magnetism that made you want to be to be in her orbit. Her bond she formed with Owen just honestly melted my heart. I adored Owen, he was such a sweetheart and at times so wise beyond his years. His one liners were hilarious. Harper and his friendship and protectiveness over each other was so touching.

Harper had my guy Garrett a straight up goner…I’m talking loss for words, hearts in eyes, making the wrong turns and going out of the way to ensure her safety gone. If it’s one thing I love it’s a man who falls first and hard and that was Garrett to a t. Harper wasn’t far off because it wasn’t long before Garrett had her heart. Their chemistry was undeniable and I just ate their story up like the most delicious dessert.

I loved the family shenanigans. It made for so many laughs and just the warmest of feels. Temptation Trails was everything I could’ve dreamed of and then some. Words cannot express how much I loved this book!

The audio though! Hands down a favorite of mine and not just for the year!

Rose Dioro as Harper was beyond words. Her inner musings, her sweet nature came through beautifully through Rose.
Jason Clarke is an all time favorite, it’s instalove if he’s narrating. Temptation Trails is no exception. He was made to perform Garrett Haven. I cannot imagine a more perfect voice for him. And hearing that growl compared to reading is a whole different experience. I also don’t think I’ll ever get over hearing Jason Clarke say MY name. Eeek.
😭🥹🤭
Rose and Jason were just fan freaking tastic and made this an audio I did not want to stop listening to.
