My Review:

Tempting Tait is the second book in the Marriage of Convictions series. I recommend reading them in order to avoid spoilers.

This series is very unique. Tait's marriage of conviction is different from Bentley's in the first book. Tait's conviction is that abortion is wrong, and if we believe it, then we need to be willing to make sacrifices to prevent abortions.

Tait rescues Eden after her boyfriend dumped her out of his car. Eden is hurt, and Tait wants to help get her back on her feet. Little did they know, she was pregnant. Eden wants an abortion and doesn't want to be straddled with a child. Tait is not willing to pay for the abortion, nor take her to the clinic; he sticks to his convictions. 

It's interesting to see how Tait goes about finding a wife. What I appreciate about this series is that it doesn't follow a formula and is therefore unpredictable. There is a great cast of characters, and the story moves quickly. Poor Tait could be so dense, but he finally figures things out.

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

He chose to be a dad before he realized he'd need a wife, too.

When Tait took in an abandoned girl, he had no idea it would change his life.

Tait Stedtmann–accountant, fledgling do-it-yourselfer, and all-around nice guy. He'd been more than a little interested in Bentley Girard and had finally worked up the courage to ask her out. That was before that fateful day at the rest stop when he saw a girl shoved from a car and abandoned there.

She's not like any girl he's ever met, and now she's given him an ultimatum. Adopt her baby, or she'll abort it.

Eden doesn't think he'll do it. She can have the abortion and move on with her life–far away from these creepy Christians in Fairbury. But when Tait agrees, she finds herself keeping her word… and the pregnancy.

Nine months later, Tait is wracked by guilt as relief sets in when Eden leaves and terrified as he decides he can't do this daddy thing alone. Bentley figured out how to make marriage happen for her.

Would she help him, find someone, too?

When Tait gets married, one plus one doesn't equal two, it equals three!

Tempting Tait is the second in the Marriages of Conviction Series.
