He’s the town’s notorious bad boy.

She’s the innocent good girl.

Jaxson Reid and Julia Sinclair were the most unlikely friends. One fateful night brought them together, and they formed a bond—one so strong it was unbreakable—until they gave into temptation.

Fast forward five years and Jaxson is back to fix the mistakes he’s made with the only girl who’s ever mattered to him. Only someone isn’t happy with his return, someone who thinks Julia is theirs, and they will stop at nothing to make sure it stays that way—forever.

Jaxson will not only fight to protect Julia, but also battle the new and existing demons that haunt his soul from the death and corruption of war.

***

Fighting Temptation is book one in the Men of Honor series. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone, but for the best reading experience, I recommend reading in order.

If you love steamy, emotional Romantic Suspense stories with protective alpha males and sweet heroines who will stop at nothing to find their happily-ever-after, then this series is for you.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

K.C. Lynn is a small-town girl living in Western Canada. She grew up in a family of four children—two sisters and a brother. Her mother was the lady who baked homemade goods for everyone on the street, and her father was a respected man who worked in the RCMP. This being one of the things that inspires K.C. to write romantic suspense about the trials and triumphs of our heroes.

K.C. married her high school sweetheart, and they started a big family of their own—two adorable girls and a set of handsome twin boys. It was her love for romance books that gave K.C. the courage to sit down and write her own novel. It was then a beautiful world opened up, and she found what she was meant to do.

When K.C.’s not in the writing cave, she can be found watching a good, true crime documentary or exploring the picturesque landscapes of her own backyard in the Canadian Rockies with her husband and their four children.

WOW !!!!!....Okay, I am going to try to do this as I am terrible at putting whats in my head down on paper..lol So here goes. If I could give this 10 starts I would ! ********** This book is amazing !!!! But I knew it would be as I had already read Beautifully Insightful so I knew that this book was going to be just as amazing as the first. With FT I was pulled into the book by the last word on the first page. Julias words for Jaxson : "Jaxson is arrogant, angry and aggressive. Yet he’s also beautiful, strong and honorable. I unconditionally and irrevocably love every damaged part of him. And for the boy, who didn’t believe in love, he would always and forever have mine.~Julia Sinclair "....Jaxson...wow!..How can I describe him....hot, gentle, loving, protective, faithful, tortured, damaged, angry, a man who feels every emotion from the darkest part of his soul. And a man who loves so deeply that is hurts....as he fights all the demons that lay deep inside his tortured soul. I cried for him..I was so angry with him..I laughed with him .I got so frustrated with him and I fell in love with him................................then I understood him! Kc Lynn has pulled me so deep in this book..I went through every emotion..I felt their love and I felt their pain. And Julia..well Jaxson says it the best "Julia was different from anyone I’d ever met. I never thought someone so good and genuine existed until her. The more I saw of her the more I became addicted to her. Every time I was around her she would destroy some of the darkness that lurked inside of me. She made the bad s*** in my life seem not so terrible. Then, before I knew it, I had fallen for a girl from another world. ~Jaxson Reid" She is the sweet, loving girl that crawled so deep into Jaxsons heart that it terrified him......and together they were Fighting Temptation . You will never regret reading this book as I have done over and over. Kc Lynn is an amazing writer and trust me...her words will crawl into you heart too !!

4.0 out of 5 stars Jaxson + Jules = perfect together

I had been hearing good things about this series so I decided to give it a shot. I am a big sucker for a man in uniform and some suspense so I was anxious to dive into the thick of it. K.C. Lynn pulled me right into the heart of the story from the onset. It was fast paced and never slowed down. I enjoyed the dual POV as it really let me connect with the main characters mindset.

Fighting Temptation follows the story of Jules and Jaxson. They've been best friends since one, could've been disastrously, night brought them together. I loved the unlikeliness of their friendship. He is the town outcast, considered trash. She is the new girl that is just trying to find some footing in her life since the tragedy that befell her. I admired them both for their grit and determination to not let what had happened to them become all that they were. Jaxson has found his way out, the Navy, and intends to make the most of this opportunity. The news devastates Jules but she does what she does best, puts on a brave face and supports her best friend.

Flash forward five years and Jules gets "the call"...She drops everything to run to Jaxson's side but he refuses to see her. This part absolutely broke my heart for the both of them. All she wanted to do was see that he was alright. All he wanted to do was spare her from having to see him like that. He couldn't stand the thought of her seeing his as broken and weak. She knew she couldn't hold onto him when all she wanted to do was help him heal. Too bad Jaxson didn't get the memo that she couldn't and wouldn't wait around for him.

Enter Wyatt, the spoiled, slightly off his rocker guy that has had it bad for Jules for years. Oh, that guy was something else. He sees his opportunity and grabs it by the horns. Too bad for him Jaxson isn't having it. He can back to fight a different battle, one he has no intention of losing; the fight for Jules' heart. Things really heat up from here. Wyatt's jealous streak and delusions only play off each other to cause nothing but trouble. I loved this twist in the story- it really kept me guessing what was coming next. It also brought out all of Jaxson's protective instincts. He wasn't going to let anything happen to the most important thing in his world. But of course life happens and things get in the way. There is years of hurt and anger and sadness to work though. The intensity and drama continues to build until it all comes to ahead. I was holding my breath waiting for the outcome.

One of the other great things about this book was the cast of secondary characters. Everyone from Grams to Cooper were well developed and added another layer of depth to the story. The relationships everyone had made the story that much more likeable and relateable. That being said, there were a few parts that seemed a bit unnecessary to the plot but they didn't detract from the overall story. And that ending, perfectly Jaxson and Jules. Everything came full circle for the couple. Be warned that there is violence portrayed at various points throughout the story. Some of it is graphic and made me cringe but it only enhanced the point that the writer was trying to make. I wasn't quite expecting the roller coaster of emotions that this book took me on. K.C. Lynn balanced humor, steam, danger and love seamlessly. She wove a captivating tale that kept me furiously flipping pages and wanting more when it was all said and done. Thankfully, there is more to this series- Sawyer and Grace's story is next and I can't wait to get to learn more about them.

5.0 out of 5 stars He feels he's not good enough for her and refuses to drag her down ...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 29, 2017

One of my fave books ever!!

I wasn't reviewing when i read this so I'm coming back to write it after numerous re-reads.

This is the first in the Men of Honor series.

Jax and Julia met at a young age when Jax saves Julia from an assault. Julia falls for him but Jax keeps her at arms length. He feels he's not good enough for her and refuses to drag her down with him. The whole town knows he's bad news and he carries the burden of his fathers sins. Julia see's through that and becomes best friends with him even though she loves him. As they grow up Jax still refuses to drag her down and eventually enlists to join the Navy Seals. He leaves Julia behind believing it's for the best. Over the years they still stay in touch until whilst on tour Jax gets into trouble.

I don't want to say too much more because i could ramble on about the whole story for pages and pages and spoil it completely for you.

I fell instantly in love with this book. My heart went out to both of them. Jax because he feel's he's not good enough for Jules when he is clearly the best thing that could happen to her. I often felt like shaking some sense into him when he refused to give in to his feelings. Jules is so patient with him her heart knows he's the one but Jax just keeps pushing her away. But she has a quiet strength that keeps her patience with him which i loved!!

There's lots of twists and turns along the way but the overall feel is one of true love. Love conquers all!! Just so heart warming this book has all the feels!! The writing for a first book for me is amazing. The plot is a real page turner. The love scenes are smoking and highly enjoyable!! I mean seriously... phewwwwwwww. I didn't put it down and when the end came i felt like hugging the kindle to my chest. I LOVED IT!!!.

The supporting characters who have their own books too are just as equally brilliant as these two. I love them all it's just one great big amazing sexy as sin, honorable family who would each die to protect the others.

I highly... i'll say again... HIGHLY recommend this book. It has everything that you could possibly need for a quiet evening at home getting lost in this amazing story.

La storia è già sentita, l'epilogo è prevedibile in n serto senso. Adatto per chi ha un animo romantico e crede che l'amicizia uomo-donna sfoci in altro. La scrittura è semplice, chiara anche per chi non ha dimestichezza con la lingua.

Wow...this book is perfect and has everything I love in a great story.
Wonderful written, catching story, wonderful characters and hot steamy moments
....AND...a guy who is worth swooning ;)
Oh I loved each page ...it was the whole time a page turner and Jaxon...ohhhh he is HOT,
has a dirty and sexy as hell mouth oh and did I say he is sexy...in every way he is panty dropping sexy !
But also honorable and kind and strong and loving ..caring and and and...
Well and Julia, she is so sweet and the pure light feminine match for dark and dangerous Jax.

The story builds up sweet and in the teenage love phase, but still with a bit of serious background. I loved the fact that the author
let the characters grow up and the passing of the years are wonderful integrated in the flow of the story. It's necessary
and just fitting. Julia and Jaxon's love story is so wonderful and the up and downs and also the dangerous parts and the development of
each character and the swearing and oh well I think you get it, what I mean ;) just everything is really great.

You need to read this book. Very well done ! Loved it !
