The Temptation

Summary: You call this ROMANCE?
Review: This is my first time ever to comment on a book. I feel I must warn any reader to run. Unless of course you feel the need to have menstruation or the bible explained via a "romance" novel?!. I, like others before me, read on (7 days)in hopes that I had not wasted my money. It never got better. Not only did it go on for 300 pages of bleeding and prayer, but then you had to end with incest? Okay, which of these is romantic?? All have been included in historical romances before, but not at nausium. And certainly not without other plot issues to balance it. I have to say I have read 100's of books and this is by far the worst ever! It out did even the boring crap I read in college for Psychology class. AND THEY WERE TEXT BOOKS!

Summary: Zero stars is more like it!
Review: This so called romance novel is nothing but 300 pages of a girl having her period and whining. Read only if you want to lose your lunch. The last chapter they finally have sex but then find out she was child molested. How does this ever get on the romance book list? Disappointment and waste of six bucks

Summary: Overwheming Temptation
Review: Unbelievable sexual tension between a submissive girl and a true gentleman leaves you wanting more with every turn of the page. Hugh of Jerusalem is every woman's dream of seduction and fulfillment. His character is so strong and sensuous that he becomes addicting to the reader as well as Elsbeth, his naive and untrusting bride. The book is 388 pages of pure seduction. Dain offers great insight to the beliefs and practices of the time period (England, 1156). To anyone who finds the book distasteful or vulgar, they must remember the realities of history. It takes true talent to turn such a dark and dreary time to pure seduction and fantasy.

Summary: disgusting and unwholesome
Review: what can i add to the previous reviews with the exception of
harriet's. it took 4 days to read this book. i kept hoping it
would get better as i like claudia dain. what was she and her
agent and her editor and her publisher thinking?? who in their
right mind would think people would like this book? this wasn't
a romance it was a travesty. if i read the word blood, bled,
bleeding etc one more time i would have been sick. it wasn't
enough we had the descriptions of 'blood gushing, running, flowing etc etc the hero kept referring to himself as a man of
blood. somebody needs to sit down with author and explain to her what a real romance is about because it sure isn't about this!!!i would be very careful beford a wasted more money of this lady's books.
