Enter a world of luxury, lust and love with this scorching first title in T L Swan’s provocative and witty Kingston Lane series. The first time I laid eyes on Henley James, I was mesmerized. The chemistry between us was like nothing I’d ever felt.
Impeccable suit, dimpled smile. He was charming and gorgeous, sophisticated and suave. He gave me his business card and asked me to call.
His dating game was strong; I was gone from his first smile. I’d love to tell you our date was a raging success, but it wasn’t. Far from it.
I decided right there on that day that Henley James and I would forever be mortal enemies; I would never think of him again. Three years later, I bought my dream home. I’m so excited to meet my neighbors—that is, until I do.
Oh no! What are the chances? It’s him .
Still single, still the hottest man alive, and still obnoxiously sarcastic. He saunters around wearing next to nothing and refuses to close the blinds at night. I will not let myself think of him at all costs.
It could be my sanity. My temptation is a nightmare.

I don’t have enough words to tell you how good this book is! It’s so addictive right from the beginning! I fell for the main characters in this book, Henley and Juliet! I loved her dog Barry and her interesting neighbors! The attraction between them and the love scenes were deliciously steamy. I think this is my favorite contemporary book of the year!
I feel so lucky that as a reader I get to indulge in TL Swan's books. I've read almost all of them, and they are all wildly different and never fail to grab me by the emotions. Not once did I read one and think, this is similar to that other book she wrote. She is so talented!! There is only one thing that I noticed as an American, she occasionally uses British/Australian Idioms or slang, which would normally briefly take me out of the story, but Author Swan is so good that I'm able to roll over them. Its because I'm so riveted over the story! She has also made side characters who are would be called douche-bros in any other story 100% compelling! Characters I'm hoping will have their own books so we get more about them. Epilogue was brilliant as well.
This was so beautiful. The MFC was beautifully written, strong, and vibrant. She knew what she wanted and fought for it. I have become a serious TL fan. I would've like some more story on Henley but that would've made the story drag. I always love a duel POV! He doesn't have a lot but enough to satisfy a reader. A must read!
I absolutely love the stories T L Swan brings to life. She never fails to deliver unforgettable and relatable characters. When it comes to great romance nobody makes it more memorable than this author! Thank you for taking us on this journey with Juliet and Henley!
I don't get all the five stars!?! I'm confused Henley was so hateful and mean to Juliet almost the whole book!! This book had some funny moments and kept me reading it to see how it ends. But I won't finish the series the men are jerks !! Not interested to see what happens to them ..
I’ve read a lot of books. I’ve read a lot of romances. But this one just got me. It is dysfunctional at its worst and romantic at its best. And so relatable to “normal relationships “… at least the ones I’ve seen. I loved Henley and Juliette. They were the couple I was rooting for and glad they worked out at the end. I honestly just got through with it and want to read it again, right now. I think I will.
This was a great read, love the characters and supporting cast. That's the one thing I love about this author, Swan creates a great friendship, banter is never disappointing. I would have loved to give this a 5 but the ending was so abrupt. Like Jenny through herself at him after being so mean to his girl after his father died, threatening to call security on her if she didn't leave. He realizes I need to be home to her and that was it. No apologies to her and they live happily ever after. Nah, he did her wrong and needed to apologized. Overall, great read, can't wait to read the next one.
Wow!… I love this book and am ready for the 2nd book!!… This book is amazing!… Sweet, sad, sexy, and hilarious!!!… Definitely an amazing read, from an amazing writer!!! BRAVO!!!!👏🏻💗🔥🙌🏻💕
