Summary: Great book
Review: I thought this should be an interesting book when i 1st read the summary and i was very wrong, this is a very good book! Shay and Ian are as far from similar as they come, but they compliment each other beautifully. I know many people think that the ending was not good but i think it was from my view they both came to an understanding and an agreement. She didnt compromise her careear and he accepted that very good. It was very touching and the love scenes, (even if he's a minister) were very steamy! The guy is good ;-D Anyways i highly recomend it and many of her books (except Eloquent Silence, but that's another story hehe).

Summary: wasn't up to her usual standards
Review: I usually enjoy Sandra Brown's books but I didn't really like these characters. I thought they were both very cliched. Shay also gave in to Ian's demands about her work. She shouldn't have given in to him.

Summary: Opposites Attract
Review: I'll keep this simple: Shay was a free-spirit. Ian was a conservative minister. They couldn't stand each other at first, but they fell in love. They went through some ups and downs, but eveything worked out. Love scenes were hot and so were the characters. Wish it was longer, but so worth reading.

Summary: Don't go by some reviews- it's worth reading!
Review: Looking at the reviews- either you will really like this one or you will think it stinks! Well, I fall in with the "really like this one!" The opening scene is great. Shay's mother has remarried and this is the first opportunity to meet and spend time together as a family at the camp. Everyone- mother, Shay, step-father and step-brother is to be there. Shay arrives finding mother and step-dad gone and step-brother in shower. Shay walks into her bedroom in time to see Ian step out of the shower (while singing and dancing to Beach Boy's song Good Vibrations) in the adjoining bathroom- he forgot to shut the door! Their eyes meet! She is laughing at his act and he's fuming with embarrassment. This is the beginning of a rough weekend. Shay is to find out that Ian is a minister, while she is a nude model for artists out of New York. A great story of how they handle their attraction to each other-the rough roads as well as the smooth ones, differences in careers, their past history-one divorced while the other is a widow. I appreciate Ian taking his religious commitment serious. Both characters are with strong personalities. Read it for yourself and see what you think.

Summary: Very sweet, simple romance
Review: Shay is a bit spoiled and not against using her body to get what she wants, only when she meets Ian her attempts at seduction seem to get her nowhere. Ian, a minister, is bothered more than he can admit of the seductive nude model - only he knows this woman could never fit into his conservative lifestyle. When these two people fall in love, you expect a lot of problems and even humorous encounters. Sandra Brown is a very good author, but I always believe she doesn't develop her stories to their full potential. It seems obvious that this book could have been much longer than the 229 pages, and filled with more conflicts due to the very unusual pair. If you are looking for a light simple romance, than this is it. It is a very simple romance story.

Summary: I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!
Review: TEMPEST IN EDEN is the love story of Shay Morrison, a nude model and Ian Douglas, a minister. They meet one weekend at the request of their newlywed parents(Shay's mother and Ian's father). What a weekend! The sexual tension was sky high and the verbal drawls were hilarious. No matter how different their careers and views are, nothing could stop their attraction from excalating into a full blown love of a lifetime. I deeply respected Ian's religious beliefs because even though he desperately wanted Shay, he did not succumb to temptation. I admired Shay for being so comfortable with her sexuality and proud of her career. It was wonderful to see these two unique people become two halves of a whole. Their characters grew throughout the book and learned to fully accept each other and compromise when it was needed. This is a wonderful read worth your time and money. You'll love it. Trust me!

Summary: Not great not bad...
Review: The story starts when Shay walks in on Ian having a shower...she then attempts to seduce him but fails....but later they parted and Ian finally admitted his feelings for her....they have problems but it seems it is too easily solved... this book is thin on plot...the shortness of this novel makes it hard to elaborate on points and enchance the plot....
This book is good for a light read when you just want to relax for an hour or two... but if you are looking for plot and complicated storyline this one is not for you... before you can get into the story it ends....
The only thing i like about this book must be the hot minister...haa
