Temptation

Temptation is an older novel by Nora Roberts. It is pure escapism romance. This book was not annoying like I find so many other escapism romance books to be. Ms. Roberts remained relatively true to her characters and the plot. But I guess when you are reading pure escapism romance, maybe that doesn't matter as much!

The story centers around a woman who has lost everything except her best friend. Her father recently passed and he had gambled away all of the family money. She must sell the family home and most of her possesions. The scandal surrounding her father's gambling debts scares off her fiancee and he breaks off their engagement. She decides to help her friend with a new summer camp for girls that she is starting; at the end of the summer she will figure out her next step which will most likely involve trying to get a job. Little does she know that her life will change at the summer camp, for the camp's neighbor is an apple orchard with a very sexy owner.

Yeah, it was pure fluff, pure silly romance. But it was fun, short and quick to read, and the consistency was better than other romances that I have read. If you are looking for a good romance with some pretty good sexual tension, this might be worth your while.

Happy Reading!
