Temptation
Socialite Eden Carlbough didn't expect running a girls' camp to be easy, but she never thought she'd literally be run up an apple tree by the little monsters...nor did she think she'd come crashing down into the capable arms of orchard owner Chase Elliot. Chase knew he'd caught a windfall when he looked at the woman in his arms. He didn't like being cast as the serpent, bu...more

This was a good book-easy read, sort of predictable though. I have read Nora Roberts books before and enjoyed them and have several more to read of hers. I did like the fact that a young woman, Eden, who grew up having it all and then in one moment, she lost everything, had to give up the life she knew and start a new life-deciding what she wanted to do, making choices she never thought she would have to make. Then enters Chase, the handsome guy that owns the property next to the camp she and he...more

Temptation is one of the reasons I love to read the older romances by my favorite authors. It oozes with cheese, but that is what makes it so good. Yes, the clothing and technology is outdated, but the general story isn't. Actually, Temptation is one of Nora's milder romances. There is really no sex in it, just hot kissing scenes. It was kind of refreshing that they didn't hop into bed after the first meeting.

Another audiobook from the library! I'm travelling today; so, this is just what the doctor ordered.
The whole apple/temptation thing is cool. What's not cool: the wishy-washy attitude/feelings of the heroine. Her, IMO, over-the-top response to Chase's possessiveness-which she was enjoying/denying earlier when he kissed her.
Jeez, I started getting frustrated for the hero! I think it's typical for the genre, for the time, but it makes for a most unlikable hero.

Well, it was a little better than the last Nora Roberts that I read. At least the main female character was stronger and almost convincingly determined to make it on her own. She blew at the end though and gave in. Typical plot, formula writing again. And, some inconsistencies that made it confusing to read. For example, the camp was in the west, according to the story. That's all that it said. The reader is left unsure whether it's just west of Philadelphia where the main character came from, o...more
Natürlich wissen wir alle wie Liebesromane enden. Die meisten sind von ihrem Aufbau her auch einfach immer gleich. Jeder weiß, dass die Hauptfiguren für einander bestimmt sind. Nur die Hauptfiguren selbst wissen es nicht und müssen es im Laufe des Buches/der Geschichte lernen.
„Versuchung pur“ ist hier keine Ausnahme. Aber Eden hat es mir wirklich leicht gemacht sie zu mögen. Ich konnte mich sehr gut in sie hinein versetzen, weil ihre Ausgangssituation nicht so anders ist wie meine. Ihr Vater ist...more

This was an absolutly cute and romantic story! Just the right thing for an hopelessly romantic person like me. I totally enjoyed it and it was a very fast and cute read. :)
Packing up my house, I needed a quick, easy story to listen to and this one was only $5 on iTunes. I don't think I've ever read a Nora Roberts book before--not a fan of her genre. I have to admit, though, that I liked the story and the beautiful imagery of the summer camp next to the apple orchard and a lake. The love story was terribly cheesy, but it made the book what it is--a cheesy romance. My expectations were low and I could enjoy other aspects of the story, rather than mentally criticize...more

Bagi Eden bangun pagi adalah siksaan, tetapi karena dia dan Candy memutuskan untuk mengelola sebuah perkemahan musim untuk para gadis, dengan berat hati dia harus bangun setiap pagi. Bagi orang yang dulu mengenal Eden, hal ini mungkin mengejutkan. Tetapi tidak lebih terkejut bila mereka mengetahui bahwa Eden yang dulunya lebih mengetahui tata cara menyelenggarakan pesta, memutuskan untuk mencairkan assets keluarganya, termasuk rumah yg sudah dimiliki keluarganya selama beberapa generasi untuk me...more
I liked this book, it was a nice short read. The only thing was I had trouble with falling in love with the character's love story. If that makes sense. It might be because I listened to it on audio book, which I always find makes me more detached with the characters. I would've liked to read/hear more interaction between Chase and Eden to see how they fell in love, I can't imagine falling in love after only a handful of conversations. He really didn't pursue her until the end of the summer.
Romance books are not my normal preference, so when I chose one to read, I went with an author I know, Nora Roberts. All in all, it was what I expected -- simple plot, nothing very interesting happens, but in the end, the heroine gets the hero and they're ready to live happily ever after. (I think, in this type of book, that's not really a spoiler). Fine for what it is, but just not what I normally choose to read. I'll be heading back to Roberts' Eve Dallas books instead.
I will not give this book any rating at all. It is pure crap!
Anti femminist bilge.The Steven King of slush.
I aquired this book a door prize at the local library.It was St.Patricks day and if the book you loaned
had a leprechan inside you won a free library bag full of books.Fortunately they weren't all bad as this one.
Out of five books two were Nora Roberts.The second Birthright was much better..

A re-read, this book provides a heroine who is learning to stand on her own, having been previously pampered and separated from reality by a rich father. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Eden learn to stand on her own two feet and take pride in her accomplishments and particularly not take the easy way out when she met Chase. I also really like the "Eden and the apple orchard" theme. It was fun.

This was a typical Cookie-Cutter Nora Book.
I think this might have been an earlier book. I liked the fact that the title, main character and setting all play into the story of Adam and Eve. Temptation, Apple Orchard, main character named Eden.
Eden wasn't used to wanting for anything - so after the untimely death of her father, she decides to throw everything into a summer camp for girls. Along with one of her best friends - she works day in and day out to make sure they stay a float. What Eden...more

If I had to sum up this book in one word it would be...YAWN!! I was so bored I stopped reading at one point but recently decided to finish it because I paid for it. This book really had a tough time keeping my attention. This was the first Nora Roberts book I've read but I will give another one of her books a chance. Any recommendations?
Lupa ceritanya, wkwkwkwkwk.
Makanya cuma dirating tiga, nanti kalau ingat baru nambah. Atau ngurangin :P
Dari tadi browsing buku-bukunya tante Nora, jadi kangen mau baca buku dia lagi. Sayang koleksian ada di Malang semua :(. Mana buku sekennya sama semua judulnya, yang aku cari ga ada T.T

Absolutely loved, another wonderful Nora Roberts story. I feel in love with all the characters and was sucked into their world. There were parts that did make me tear up, which I am always a fan of when a writer can do that. The characters were all strong and didn't lose who they were just because they fell in love.
Romance: Very light enjoyable reading. Rich 20 something loses family money through no fault of her own. Needs to learn to run her own life instead of just following what is expected. Cat & mouse romance with mostly very like able characters. Quick read and was a great afternoon with tea/coffee cuddled in an afghan read.
It was predictable yet entertaining, which is a standard romance novel. This doesn't really stand out against others Roberts has written. I listened to this as an audiobook, which was a different experience. Overall, meh, there's better, but it makes for a great train trip book.
Its a cute read; I read this in another version where multiple stories are in one. In addition to the love story of Chase and Eden, you also have a connection and friendship between Eden and a young girl in her camp.
Eden carlbough is at a summer camp for girls, but why? Chase Elliott was mystified when he sees her on one of his trees stealing an apple.Eden had lost everything , her wealth, her fiance and her trust of men...
Read this in couple of hours, while waiting for a 3 year old to fall asleep. As such, my focus wasn't the best. Not a bad little story, nothing to write home about but a nice way to pass a few hours.
80s nora is so not my deal. alphas really annoy the shit out of me.
surprisingly, this one still holds up, even considering some of the outdated details (of which there are few).

For me this wasn't one of her better books. Could be it was written early in her career. It was a good read but just seemed off to me.
This book was recommended by a friend. I thought it was a good love-finding yourself story. Some parts were really cute.
I really love Eden and Chase, they're such a great couple. And I love that he loves her when she goes "Viking"
Did not want to put the book down. Author did a great job connecting the reader with the socially affluent characters.
One of those early Roberts romances that are all him pursuing, her resisting. Not bad, but I find that theme tiresome.
This is a great vacation book. Easy read, romance. Quick 1-2 day on the beach read. Takes place at a summer camp.
