Another Sappy Romance!

In true Nora Roberts style, the woman is hard headed but soft at heart, just waiting for the love of a man like Chase! I liked this book a lot because it's just sappy and sweet and romantic. Eden has to overcome her fear of men and has to find a way to stand on her own. Chase however owns an apple orchard and knows she is capable of everything she wants, yet it takes him a long summer to show her that he believed in her all along. It's cute, sappy and it will make you want to go to Camp Liberty for that long summer's night by the lake. BW~

A Charming Nora Roberts Classic!

"Temptation" by Nora Roberts is a delightful tale of sweet and simple romance, originally published in 1987. It's a moving and highly satisfying story and I for one am very grateful to Silhouette for giving me the chance to enjoy it!"Temptation" introduces Eden Carlbough, who has been forced to make a new start in life after her father's sudden death. Faced with a mountain of unexpected debts, Eden has sold off her family home and possessions, and moved from her plush house in Philadelphia to a cabin in a summer girl's camp. Partnered with her best friend Candy, Eden has started Camp Liberty, and is determined to make it work. Terrified but resolute, Eden sets out down a path of self-discovery.And one of Eden's discoveries is her camp's handsome neighbour, orchard owner Chase Elliot. After falling from one of Chase's apple trees and into his arms, Eden finds herself flooded with new and powerful feelings. But a recent failed engagement has destroyed Eden's faith in men, so she hides and fights the love that blooms in her heart for Chase. But Eden has found her way into Chase's heart as well, and he isn't about to let her slip away from him so easily. He can see that Eden must prove to herself that she can make it in the world on her own, but he's determined to make this vibrant and courageous beauty his own. However it won't be easy for Eden and Chase to get their happily ever after. Eden's mistrust of men and her fear of depending on anyone for support may just keep these two apart, and stop them from finding paradise in each other's arms!Nora Roberts' greatest strength lies in her characters; she creates people that we can identify with and care for, whose triumphs and failures become our own, and though her early works lack a bit of the maturity of her later works, this gift shines through regardless. Roberts expertly renders Eden's plight, and her resilience and tenacity make her a character one can't help but love. Together, Eden and Chase make a perfect pair, and their romance is sure to bring a smile to readers' faces. "Temptation" is a heart-warming tale of love and understanding, a quick and pleasing read, and it comes well recommended.

Very Cute Early Nora Roberts Novel

Eden Carlbough is the owner of a girl's summer camp. Her hunky neighbor, Chase Elliott, owns an apple orchard that her campers love to trepass in. Eden falls out of a tree and right into Chase's arms...and so, the love story begins. Very cute book.Excerpt from the back of the book:"Temptation...it was an orchard away for socialite-turned-camp counselor Eden Carlbough. Orchard owner Chase Elliott was maddeningly attractive, irritatingly self-assured -and strictly hands off! Eden had enough to worry about with a camp full of preteen girls. But her heart knew where her preference lay...with forbidden fruit!"
