trejond 's review for:

Tempting Juliana by Lauren Royal
3.0
funny hopeful lighthearted slow-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Another very fun regency from Lauren Royal. Don’t be fooled by the “sweet and clean” title; this isn’t shmaltzy or boring. It gets a little steamy as well. 
Characters are very fun and the main couple are very compatible. 
The characters have a severe case of “can’t ever have a conversation” itis which can get a bit tiring. A lot of the plot is driven almost by willful ignorance. But the characters are just so entertaining and this is mostly a character study. 
In the end, I preferred “Alexandra” but this was a wonderful little beach read.
