About this audiobook
Now A Lifetime Original Movie!
What is a woman's greatest temptation? How far will she go to find fulfillment—and how much is she willing to lose? Tempting Fate is an unforgettable, enthralling novel about the risks and rewards of "having it all" from beloved New York Times bestselling author Jane Green.
Gabby and Elliott have been happily married for eighteen years. They have two daughters. They have a beautiful, loving home. Forty-three-year-old Gabby is the last person to have an affair. She can't relate to the way her friends desperately try to cling to the beauty and allure of their younger years. And yet she too knows her youth is quickly slipping away. She could never imagine how good it would feel to have a handsome younger man show interest in her…until the night it happens. Matt makes Gabby feel sparkling, fascinating, alive—something she hasn't felt in years. What begins as a long-distance friendship soon develops into an emotional affair. Intoxicated, she has no choice but to step ever deeper into the allure of attraction and attention, never foreseeing the life-changing consequences that lie ahead. If she makes one wrong move, she could lose everything—and find out what really matters most.

Reviews for Tempting Fate
8 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Bringing some dignity to vampire fiction, Yarbro takes something that sounds like a pulp outline (Vampires vs. Nazis!) and plants it in a sweeping Euro-epic. Tempting Fate is impeccable historical fiction, beginning in the midst of World War I and spanning some ten years. I truly don't envy Yarbro her research: cars, technology, towns, nobility references pepper an engrossing story--the 600 pages go by fairly quickly.Such a history is all the more interesting given it's center, the vampiric Saint-Germain. If you're looking for the dreary standard Dracula--morose & erotic--look elsewhere. While having unimaginable years on his shoulders, Saint-Germain comes off in a way many vampires can't: uniquely Human.
