Summary: GREAT BOOK!
Review: Totally LOVED TEMPTED!:) The lead Mary was so clever and I loved the monkey too. I got a kick out of how Mary helped the bratty daughter transform. Don't understand another reviewer's comments on Britton's writing because her books are so well-written. They make me laugh and make me cry. ... Britton's books are funny and emotional... a wonderful escape.... If you like a heroine with kick and a hero with [strength] and a heart, then TEMPTED is for you.

Summary: Unconvincing story but fun read
Review: Very funny with an unusual heroine and plenty of atmosphere. My reason for not rating it at 5 stars is primarily it's unbelieveable premise and resolution. The heir to a dukedom marrying a trick horse rider? Sure. Nevertheless, Alex's totally priggishness matched with Mary's say-and-do-anything openness is ready-made for laughs galore. Britton's earthy sense of humor gets a real workout here. Still Britton manages some poignancy with Mary's feelings of inadequacy. The other area of discord (apart from the unlikeliness of the pairing and the unbelieveableness of Alex's willingness to give up everything, including any sort of livelihood, for her) is Alex's daughter; she serves merely as a way to get Mary into, and back into, Alex's life. The brat has no other usefulness. If I could give 3 & 1/2 stars, I would. But Britton's LOL humor and unusual heroine force me into giving this book 4 stars.
