Book Description

Oct 2002
A confirmed bachelor, Ben Badwin has had his share of women, and he likes them as sexy, wild, and uninhibited as his desires. Nothing at all like the brash, dirt-covered, wholesomely cute woman who just strutted into his diner. But something about Sierra Murphy's independent attitude makes Ben's fantasies run wild. He'd love to dazzle her with his prized sensual skills...to make her want him as badly as he suddenly wants her. Sierra doesn't need a man in her life, not even one as sinfully tempting as Ben. But the more she keeps her distance, the more Ben wants her. And the more Ben wants her, the harder it is for Sierra to steer clear of his teasing touches and enticing eyes. To get him into her bed - and out of her system - Sierra makes him a proposition: she'll sleep with him, but for one night only. Now, it's up to Ben to turn one night of pure ecstasy into a lifetime of passion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Will keep you wanting more 8 Oct 2002
Format:Paperback
A sequel to 'Too Much Temptation', you need not have read the first book, but I think that you should because it's such a good one. This book begins a few months after the previous one ends, and is about Noah's brother, Ben Badwin. I liked Ben in the earlier book, and was eager to read more about him.

Ben loves the ladies, and they love him right back. He enjoys his life as owner of a motel / diner / bar complex, and is happy with his life. Ben has very few inhibitions. He loves his brother, his mother and is beginning to come to terms with his grandmother, Agatha. He enjoys women, but is happy with the status quo. Into his life waltzes Sierra Murphy - new owner of her own landscaping business whose offices are just across the street from Ben's motel. The attraction between them is instant. Ben wants hot sex, but Sierra although attracted to Ben, doesn't want sex at all. Or so she thinks - it is up to Ben to convince her, to find out the very private Sierra's secrets and open her up to him. Only in doing so, he finds he's also opened himself to her. And then her past comes back to stalk her...

What I like about Foster, her 'warts and all' approach to her characters, especially on the sensual side, is actually what gave me a problem in the first part of this book. Ben is supremely confident in his sexual prowess, due to extensive experience. He initially actively seeks to dominate Sierra sexually, in part because she is able to stand up for herself verbally but seems to have no defences from him once they touch. I found this extremely unattractive in Ben, and I found particularly distasteful his and Sierra's comparison of their own activities with those in Ben's past. I don't mind the comparison, but I would have liked for Ben to realise that Sierra was different, and then moved on. This didn't occur until much later in the book. I think this situation is very realistic, but I just didn't like the continual references. On the other hand, once he realised Sierra's vulnerability and the reason behind her distrust, Ben handled the emotional side of their relationship probably better than Sierra did, so the character scales ultimately balanced.

Once I got past Ben's calculatedly dominating sexual ways, when he came to know Sierra and her vulnerabilities, I found the book very enjoyable. The blunt speech, particularly in the men, is very refreshing and serves to show exactly how they are feeling and what they're thinking. Noah, Grace and Agatha return to reprise their roles from Too Much Temptation, and it's interesting to see how Sierra views these characters - a fresh perspective on old friends. The little gem that was the relationship between Ben's mother and Sierra's best friend was a highlight of the book for me - I almost enjoyed it more than Ben and Sierra's romance! The gradual revelation of Sierra's past was well done, and Foster is able to make each of the characters distinct from one another, and the relationship between them very well defined. The erotic aspect of the book was well handled by Foster, who is by now a past master at slow burning heat.

Those who have read Too Much Temptation might want to compare Noah and Agatha's relationship to Agatha and Ben, or to see how Sierra views Noah compared to how Grace did - I certainly saw him differently through Sierra's eyes - he seems much more dangerous!

Overall another winner by Foster.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot Sequel 17 Nov 2002
By K-G
Format:Paperback
This is the follow up to Too Much Temptation, following Bens story (which I have been looking for for ages).

It was great to catch up with the familiar characters and watch Ben fall inlove with Sierra (including some brilliant sex scenes).

Definately worth buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ben Badwin is as awesome as he promised to be~ 26 Sep 2002
By Melissa - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Ben Badwin has it BAD. He�s just met his neighbor, and Sierra Murphy screamed challenge at him with every breath she took. She was curvy, sexy and sweet�and everything he was looking for in a woman. At least, everything he was looking for to seduce in a woman. Having her open her business up just across the street from his motel and diner couldn�t have been better luck. Now if she can just get her to agree it�s the best thing that could happen�

Sierra Murphy had moved to Gillespie to open her landscape business, and to become a success. She�s spent the last few years trying to make up for a mistake she�d made in the past, a mistake that still haunted her today, and all she wanted was to be left alone. She didn�t need or want a man. Sex was overrated anyway, as far as she was concerned. But she just couldn�t believe it when she saw the sexily perfect Ben Badwin, and realized that he was determined to convince her that they needed to get together. And when a storm blows out her window, and forces her to bunk over at his place, he does convince her that there may be more to this sex thing than she�d previously seen�

Sierra and Ben are just perfect for one another. Sierra is working to build herself into a competent businesswoman, but already she�s a woman of determination and spirit. And Ben is still struggling to iron out his feelings over family matter that have to do with a domineering grand mother, and be a success at his motel and diner. While he�s always made time for women�for he loves them all, any shape, and size, any age�he�s never had a woman impact his life the way Sierra has. She makes him long for more.

Lori Foster has delivered in spades for those of us who were waiting for the second Badwin brother. Ben is an incredibly sexy, sweet and determined hero who she�s breathed life into on the pages of this story. Wow, where can I find one? And Sierra is just the perfect mix of vulnerability and strength, making us both admire and like her. The sexy scenes steam up the pages, and the wonderful love story makes this an incredible read. Kudos, Lori for another top notch read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lori Foster Has Done It Again! 16 Oct 2002
By Sara Andrade - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Lori Foster has a reputation as an author who brings the reader sexy, steamy, hot romances with wonderful, well developed characters. She does it again with this wonderful book! I loved Ben and Sierra, they were a perfect match. It was a fun and sexy romance that I didn't want to see end.

Ben is a sexy motel/diner owner who sees Sierra and wants her immediately. Sierra is a sassy, tough women who is busy getting her landscaping business off the ground and doesn't need a man messing up her life. It's up to Ben to change Sierra's mind....

You can't go wrong with this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Whew! Hot stuff; great partner book to TOO MUCH TEMPTATION 29 Sep 2002
By Freelance Reviewer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Ben Badwin wants a woman. Now. Not just any woman, but one that will pose a challenge. Not that he's conceited, but Ben is uninterested in the women constantly throwing themselves at him. He wants the thrill of the chase. He gets that and more in the form of his new neighbor, Sierra Murphy.

Sierra wants nothing to do with tangled up involvements, especially with a man like Ben Badwin whose good looks should make him illegal. Instead, she's concentrating on getting her new landscaping business off the ground. Ben's sexy looks and gentlemanly ways soon have Sierra in a state of constant arousal and confusion. A recent divorce from a very controlling man has made Sierra very leery of most men. What's a woman to do?

Well, if the woman is a character in one of Lori Foster's books, you know she won't be in a state of constant arousal and confusion for too long! NEVER TOO MUCH is a bit of a switch from Lori's usual fare. Oh, not in the sexy, steamy department, but how Sierra and Ben get to that point. Who says only women are teases?? I was hooked from the first page and could have very easily finished this in one sitting - if real life had let me.

Ms. Foster has an uncanny ability to create characters that grab onto readers' hearts and don't let go until the end. Even then, you're sorry to turn the last page. NEVER TOO MUCH is a delightful tale about two very strong-minded and strong-willed people, each with their own set of issues that must be resolved before they can finally commit to each other. Some scenes are heartbreaking while others, especially where Ben's mother and grandmother are involved, are tender or hysterical. The sub romance between Ben's mother and Sierra's friend and coworker is just as satisfying as the main romance.

I highly recommend NEVER TOO MUCH as classic Lori Foster with a little bit of a twist. A sequel to TOO MUCH TEMPTATION, this tale can be read alone, but my advice is to read TMT first to get the whole effect of all the characters and how their relationships develop.
