Suddenly Tempted (to read more of Katie Evergreen)

I think I say this every time… but I wasn’t sure what to expect from this indie read of Suddenly Tempted by Katie Evergreen.
Newsflash! I loved it!👉🏻👈🏻

By the end of this story, I was kicking my feet, absolutely elated with how everything turned out.

Evergreen does a great job of writing a strong, yet sensitive female FMC. Darcy is headstrong but has a soft side, and I loved seeing that balance play out.

Dalton, our grumpy billionaire, is the perfect contrast to her, and their dynamic kept me hooked. The characters really bring out the best and worst in each other—but in true romance fashion, the good outweighs the bad, and we get that satisfying happy ending.

One of my favorite aspects was how the characters helped each other grow. Dalton learns to thaw out his frozen heart, and Darcy learns to let go and actually live a little.

Their journey together had so many standout moments—from fiery arguments to passionate reconciliations to some genuinely tear-jerking scenes.

And the ending? Adorable. No spoilers, but let’s just say I had BIG heart eyes. We live for that epilogue! 🥹

That said, the book had a touch too much cheesiness at times. The inner monologues occasionally felt repetitive, like when the thoughts of the MMC are revealed as “…it wouldn’t hurt to see the owner of the voice he’d heard… Something about it wouldn’t leave his head” right after getting off the phone with her… Sir, it’s been one minute. Give it a sec!

Even with those little moments, the story was so cute overall. It took me a little time to fully get into it, but once I did, I was hooked. I stayed up well into the night just to finish—itching to get back to it, which is when you know it’s good.

I’m so happy I had the opportunity to dive into Evergreen’s work and can’t wait for the next book! If you’re looking for a semi-quick read that feels like an adventurous Hallmark movie, then look no further. Pick this one up on March 18th!
