Forbidden desire is the hardest to deny … Eden Emery is no stranger to sin. To keep her sister safe from harm, she\u2019s paid a steep price with her body\u2014and very nearly lost her soul. But when Baron Ivor Hartford, the very Devil himself finally dies, her troubles are far from over. <\/em><\/p>\n

Major Stuart Hartford, the late baron\u2019s nephew, is in the market for an honorable wife, but first he has to take care of the matter of his Uncle Ivor\u2019s ward\u2014a young woman who makes him question the virtue of being proper. For the passion she incites burns away his inhibitions and inflames his heart. <\/em><\/p>\n

But Eden has vowed to never again cede her destiny to a man. And Hart is left with no choice but to tempt the temptress herself, to show the woman he longs to possess forever that passion can heal, that the sins of the past can be overcome, and that submission can be the greatest power of all. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Deeply disturbing, dark, and poignant, Tempting Eden is a love story that will stay with you long after the final page is read.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Maragaret Rowe<\/em>, who also writes much lighter historical romances for Kensington\/Brava as Maggie Robinson<\/em>, pushes the boundaries of romance in this intense psychological, erotic tale. This book is not for the faint of heart, but if you do have the heart, it\u2019s well worth the read.<\/p>\n

At the very least, I was hesitant to read Tempting Eden<\/strong>. To say this is a disturbing romance would be, in my opinion, understating the matter. The premise of the book is taboo. The heroine, Eden Emery, is seduced by her stepfather, and at the age of eighteen willingly assumes the role of his mistress, plays the slave to his master.<\/p>\n

I say his slave because not only are they lovers, her stepfather is the dom<\/em> in this twisted relationship. He is cruel. He is sadistic. He is sick. The book begins by stating his intentions:<\/p>\n

When he was done, she\u2019d be the greatest whore in all of Christendom.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And good to his word, in the following four years, Eden\u2019s stepfather, the Earl of Hartford, applies himself to doing precisely that. And his vow, his vision is a success. Eden does any and everything he asks of her. I have to admit this was the hardest thing for me to deal with in reading Tempting Eden<\/strong>, that the heroine took this road willingly\u2026eagerly\u2026at first.<\/p>\n

Upon his death, his nephew and heir, Stuart Harford, or Hart as he is called, resumes responsibility for his uncle\u2019s stepdaughters, Eden and her sickly younger sister, Jannah. He and his aunt travel to Hartford Hall to assess his inheritance: the property and the females themselves.<\/p>\n

Eden\u2019s introduction to the new lord nearly has her fainting at his feet, for he\u2019s the younger image of his deceased uncle, the man who\u2019d tortured her all those years. And to Hart, Eden is a scrawny wisp of a woman whom he considers \u2018a plain virgin\u2019. Little does he know.<\/p>\n

But when he discovers a provocative drawing of her \u2018au naturelle\u2019<\/em> done by his very talented uncle, he immediately understands and is sickened by the nature of their relationship, thinking she seduced his uncle after her mother\u2019s death. He had originally planned to send her away with his aunt after her sister died (Jannah\u2019s illness is terminal), but now he wants her to have nothing to do with his family. The problem is his attraction to her, which of course bothers him to the nth<\/em> degree because he is the man some called \u2018Holy Hartford\u2019<\/em> because of his pillar of moral rectitude.<\/p>\n

Eden is just as pained and horrified by her attraction to him, which wars with the depth of the shame she bears over the relationship she had with his uncle. Her shame only deepens when Hart confronts her with his knowledge of it. She believes he\u2019s found the book his uncle had published (one single copy) to document his seduction of her titled, The Seduction of a Young Lady<\/em>.<\/p>\n

For me, the other difficult part of this book were the flashbacks. Very difficult. Ms. Rowe does not skimp on the details of Eden\u2019s seduction at her stepfather\u2019s hands. Most of these flashbacks are explicit in nature. There were many times that I sorely wished she had been raped. The fact that I feel this way is a bit stunning, but that\u2019s how difficult it was for me to digest the fact that she was so very willing in the beginning. This affair began when her mother was alive and Eden had no compunction in carrying on with her mother\u2019s husband behind her back. This just added a more unsavory air to something that was unsavory enough.<\/p>\n

But once I grew to understand the psychology of this kind of seduction, Eden\u2019s willingness made sense in the context of a mother who might have been in her life in body but certainly not in mind. Her biological father was deceased and the only male figure in her life set his mind on her seduction years in advance. Eden was so ripe for the picking with his flirtations and liberal helpings of wine, it was like shooting fish in a barrel.<\/p>\n

Trials and tribulations abound in Eden and Hart\u2019s difficult road to understanding and happily ever after, but they make it, this is a romance after all. Hart has a level of understanding of this tragic part in her life that few men would, and Eden not only has to learn to trust him, she has to learn to forgive and trust in herself. Love, in the end, has the power to heal and give them a fresh start at a new beginning, as they leave the ghosts of the past behind. ~ Beverley<\/strong><\/p>\n
