Tempting Tristan (A sexy standalone M/M romance) (Harborside Nights Book 3) Kindle Edition
Tempting Tristan is a stand-alone M/M romance featuring two sexy, hot alphas. One injured war hero, one man who has loved and lost. Each struggling for a future not bound by his painful past.
TRISTAN
I’m fresh off the heels of yet another bad relationship.
I’m done. I’m taking a break from men to figure out what I keep doing wrong.
I know my faults. I lead with my heart, not my head. But that’s never going to change.
A few weeks into my no dick hiatus, I think I’ve got a handle on things.
That is, until badass heartthrob Alex Wells strolls into my bar.
ALEX
Eight years in the Army, months in a hospital bed, and far too long hiding my sexual identity has left me damaged, pissed off, and up for a Silver Star—for the incident that nearly cost me my life, and kept me from my grandmother's funeral.
All I want is to forget my stint with the institution that allows but doesn't necessarily accept, and live the life I’ve always wanted. The hot bartender coming my way, just might be my gateway drug.
But I’m f*cked up.
The closer he gets, the more my walls go up, and he’s going to find out that my physical scars aren’t the ones that run the deepest.

About the Author
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
We were in for heavy rains, but hopefully they’d hold off until after closing time. I glance at the order. “Because of two rum and Cokes?”
She rolls her pretty green eyes. “No, Tristan. Because the hottest man on the planet just parked his motorcycle and he’s heading in here. All of my female customers are drooling, and I’m sure you’ll see a flock of them coming in any minute now. Meanwhile, I’m stuck outside and soon I’ll have a pier full of empty tables.” She grabs a handful of napkins and waves them at me with a smirk. “Drool rags.”
“Dibs,” Charley says as she whips up a cocktail.
I laugh and hold my hands up. “I’m on a hiatus from all things male, so be my guest.” My ex, Ian, is a self-absorbed ass, and I was an idiot for letting him treat me like shit. Which is why I’m taking a break from men―even if it kills me. It’s been weeks since we broke up and I moved into my buddy Wyatt’s house. Wyatt and his twin sister, Delilah, own the Taproom. They inherited it when their parents were killed in a car accident a little more than a year ago.
“I’m sure he’s straight anyway,” Livi says. “The guy swaggers like a stud.”
“Hey, gay guys can swagger like studs,” I tease.
“I know that.” Livi peers out the pass-through window to the outside seating area and tosses her blond hair over her shoulder. “You’ll see what I mean. He’s a total badass.”
I tend to my customers as the girls discuss the badass hot guy, and when the front door opens, I can’t help but let my eyes drift over. Livi and Charley fall silent, ogling what truly might be the hottest guy on the planet. Linebacker shoulders fill the doorframe. The godlike creature is carrying a shiny black motorcycle helmet in one very large hand. His white T-shirt is stretched so tight across his chest I can see every ripple of his shredded abs, and his deliciously defined biceps are seriously struggling to be set free from his short sleeves. Tear, baby, tear.
He steps inside and runs a hand through his dirty-blond hair. Deep-set, brooding eyes slide over the customers sitting at the bar, sweep over Charley and Livi, and finally land on me. Charley whimpers, and Livi makes a sound in the back of her throat, both mimicking what I’m feeling, though my mouth is too dry to make a sound.
He swaggers, full of hard-core attitude, to the vacant stool at the end of the bar, giving me a clear view of his perfect ass―and catching the attention of nearly every woman, and several of the men, in the place.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2016OMG! This book was phenomenal!! All I can say is Chapter 12 is so freakin’ hot my Kindle melted among other things. I don’t think I have ever read a steamier or more emotional chapter ever! It doesn’t even matter what your sexual orientation is or if you have never read M/M before, this is book is an incredible love story with unbelievable character depth, not to mention some of the hottest love scenes!
I love that Tristan finally found someone (or should I say was found by someone-Alex) who cherishes him for his heart, mind, body and soul. I felt the emotion oozing out of the pages and it had my heart reeling. They really were made for each other.
Tristan’s love healed Alex, and boy did he need some healing. No longer in the military, Alex was finally free to live the life as the man he was on the inside and who he wanted to be and this was everything to him. He still had some tough challenges though.
Alex’s love healed Tristan. Tristan gave his heart too freely in the past and had been hurt so many times that he had a hard time trusting again. Alex shows him how good they can be together.
They go down a few bumpy roads, but get through them together. That is what is important as they realize how much stronger they are together. It’s really that simple yet that complex. I absolutely adore this couple. I think they are one of my faves yet!
Three cheers to Melissa Foster for this sexy, hot, did I mention sexy? alpha /alpha love story!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2024Melissa Foster is a author I often really enjoy. Sometimes there are books which this reader doesn't connect with the voices a character is given. This was the case with the first 2 books of this series; which I read whilst they were part of Kindle Unlimited.
Tristan was the character I liked most in the series and hoped he'd get a HEA. Only the series left KU before I read Tempting Tristan. Had I liked the first two paying full price wouldn't have bothered me. So I waited until I had enough Reader Rewards to get this book.
Turns out I am glad I chose to finish. Tristan is a very good support character in the first two books. He is even better as a Main character and Alex is a strong main character also. As a couple they are amazing and make you wish there were more books devoted to them. As they weren't the shallow and annoying charters the twins were IMHO.
Liked to see how Tristan and Alex worked together to overcome their issues. Reminiscent of other Melissa Foster power couples. The thing that kept me from rating this a 5. Is the over use of the "p" phrase ( meaning 🐈) There's many other ways for a gay or straight person to express negative self talk without dependence on this stereotypical term. It's not all that far off from the f slur. So I dislike seeing authors using it so freely in their books that are M\M romances as if it's not at all derogatory.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2023So I’m in love with this book, and these men.
Alex (Alpha) Tristan (Tango) just wow!
This was an amazing book that left me smiling and with slightly damp eyes because it’s so amazing and emotional.
Alex is a military vet who was injured and now he’s working to accept himself outside of the military
Tristan is a man who wears his heart on his sleeve, and watching him and Alex come together was just phenomenal. They way the push each other to heal and grow was amazing.
Of course it was spicy, but I feel like I’d be doing this book a disservice if I focused solely on that.
If you love contemporary/MM books you NEED to read this. It’s easily one of my top books this month
- Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2020This was one really enjoyable reading experience! "Tempting Tristan" is well a written book, the characters are very realistic and the plot flows effortlessly. The overall flow of the story is very realistic and for his reader completely believable. It's like Ms. Forster was writing about her brother or maybe a nephew or someone close to her. The depth of feelings is so real and the anguish and hurt stands out in so many instances in this story; it has to pull on your heart strings. I truly enjoyed this book and I will be adding this book to the top of my re-read list! I did look into Ms. Forster Author page and it looks like this is her first venture into MM writing; so I must give her high praise for her gift to us who enjoy reading MM Romance books, as she did and outstand job! Again, thank you. Here's hoping that this won't be your last MM book. An avid reader in Rock Tavern, NY
- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2016Not very interesting. The story about a broken ex-military guy, Alex who had his demons to overcome which actually didn't seem that grave to me. He was injured in the Army and couldn't get to his granny's funeral; or he had to suppress his sexual orientation while in active duty and had problems with PDA when in military situations. Tristan was hurt by his ex because he wore his heart on his sleeve. This was not a very interesting story. There was no real plot. Just a bunch of friend scenes and love scenes.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2023This was such a beautiful book! The connection between Alex and Tristan was on fire. From the minute that Alex walked into the bar, all eyes were on him but he only eyes for Tristan. Alex is a coming home from the war. He's a injured Vet, who's been hiding his sexuality until now. Tristan is coming out of a bad relationship and isnt sure he wants to get in another one. He can't deny his attraction to Alex though. These two get togethet and this is when things get good. Him and Tristan have some true honest conversations about their pasts and help each other move on from it. This was such a great part of the book. I loved seeing Alex be himself and hiding anything anymore. He was accepted by Tristan, their friends and by family. I was so into this story and loved the journey that Alex and Tristan went on to find love!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Tempting..!!
Tempting Tristan... what a beautiful touching story and it just goes to prove that Melissa Foster is capable of bringing us just about anything and while she often features gay characters within some of her stories this was her first M/M and she didn't disappoint
.We are already familiar with Tristan I think it was during Catching Cassidy and Dicovering Delilah that we got to know him and I remember him having problems with his then boyfriend Ian, this was probably over a year ago and now we're reading all about Tristan in his own story.
With all the stories and series that this fabulous author has written, wether it be past or current everything always comes together brilliantly, there might be a time delay but you can always think back to a particular book and think oh yes I remember that and it all makes sense further down the line.
You instantly fall in love with this story it's totally inevitable with all the characters that we have come to love but it's Tristan's turn to shine.
With everyone scrambling over and trying to attract the attention of the rather hot mystery man standing at the end of the bar you could only wonder what all the fuss is about. It was a brilliant opening and once introductions had been made and the realisation had set in that 'Alex' was only interested in one person you couldn't help get a little excited.
Tristan and Alex both had issues for very different reasons but they were perfect for each other and Melissa Foster does what she does best and delivers yet again subtle messages and her wonderful words of wisdom she always incorporates these so naturally throughout her storylines.
Tristan and Alex ended up having a little more in common than originally thought, it was Alex's Grandmother Arty, we had her to thank, she really did bring them together...everything happens for a reason.
As the storyline continues so does Tristan and Alex's relationship, there are a few issues and a couple of misunderstandings but nothing they can't work through and they do, their love for each other is enough to go above and beyond for each other.
It makes you realise just how much people end up living a lie just to fit in or to conform all because they think they will be frowned upon, it's a miserable fact and this story highlights this very problem very well.
Amongst other things!! There are plenty of endearing and touching moments, I did feel a little sad that Alex's Mother wasn't at Alex ceremony but at least she showed up towards the end all happy as well.
Beautiful epilogue by the way thank you..!!
As for Tru Blue... I think that is going to be one hell of a read something different again and Dylan Bad... well those stories seem to get steamier by the minute... all on pre-order..
For anyone who enjoyed this M/M take a look at Ann Lister (The Rock Gods) series... superb.!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it, loved it, loved it
there is a real energy to this book that has a mix of sexy, sultry, honest, soul and heart. It grabbed me from the beginning and after reading the first chapter a week before the book came out I just kept thinking of Tristan and Alex and how the story would go. It is such a beautiful book to read and such a beautiful love story, and I couldn't put it down.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great read
A great read from Melissa. I love Tristan and Alex they were made for each other but I could of slapped Alex a few rimes for hurting Tristan, but as always love conquers all in Melissa’s book and thank you Melissa for that. I would of loved more of Tristan and his friends in his book because after all he is an awesome friend to have I also can’t wait till Brandon book and I didn’t realise I hadn’t reviewed this until now sorry Melissa

4.0 out of 5 stars he’s had one bad relationship after another and has decided it’s time to ...
Tempting Tristan is a standalone MM Romance following Tristan and Alex.
We meet Tristan Brewer, he’s had one bad relationship after another and has decided it’s time to take a break from men. He decides he has to change and not fall too quick. He’s lead with his heart and not his head in the past. Enter Alex Wells, he looks like your typical bad boy…. He’s spent the past 8 years in the Army. After being badly injured he spent several months in hospital and has time to think about his future. He decides to move to his Grandmothers place, sadly he was in hospital and unable to make it to her funeral. He moves into her house. He’s damaged, he’s angry, he’s guilty, he’s pissed off and wins the Silver Star Medal for the incident that nearly cost him his life….. He feel’s guilty and doesn’t want the award.
Alex walks into the Hotel that Tristan works at and sparks fly…… they are both smitten with each other… we follow the story of these two sexy guys… they both have demons to conquer…….. will love conquer all? Will Tristan and Alex get their HEA……… This was a lovely story that I enjoyed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Melissa has done it again
I was a little unsure what to expect from this book, I've not read m/m romance before. However, I soon fell in love with Alex and Tristan. Melissa has written a very warm, sweet story that you soon become immersed in it.
We've met Tristan lots of times in Harbourside and seen how his story begins, and how comfortable he is with his life and to see Alex, who is trying to come to terms with his life after suffering loss in the military and a change to civilian life, how they manage to find each other is beautifully written. Alex comes from a military background, has suffered an injury and finds it hard to let Tristan see that side of him. As their story progresses, Alex, with the help and love from Tristan, accepts himself and relaxes into life.
As with Melissa's stories, it is very easy to get caught up in the story and not put the book down. It's great to catch up with other friend from Harbourside too and see how their stories are progressing. I can't wait to return for the next instalment.
