Temptation

by Jude Deveraux

Deveraux's Latest TemptationHidden secrets, high passion, and a healthy dose of humor are Deveraux hallmarks, and Temptation is one of her best. The tempting bestseller features a fish-out-of-water heroine, a hidden family treasure, and a Scottish laird who would rather die than be married.Temperance O'Neil is a women's rights activist in New York City at the turn of the 20th century. At the age of 29, she had given little thought, time, or attention to her love life and thrown all of her energy into helping the city's poor and downtrodden women. But when Temperance's widowed mother shows up with her new husband, Angus McCairn, everything changes. Angus has control over the O'Neil money and uses it to force Temperance to move to Scotland, where he's determined to make a "proper" lady of her. This results in a brief but amusing battle of wills that culminates in a blackmail If Temperance can make Angus's nephew, James, take a wife within the next six months, then she can have her money and her house back. Temperance travels to James's home in the Highlands, only to discover a huge, filthy, ramshackle house and a style of living that is far from the city ways she is used to. Showing up under the guise of being the new housekeeper, Temperance sets about tidying up the place and finding James the perfect woman. While trying to sneak a humorous parade of inappropriate candidates past James's watchful eye, Temperance finds herself falling in love with the man. But just as she comes to this realization, the perfect match for James shows his childhood sweetheart, who is now a widow. Torn between the work she once did, her passion for the people in her new life, and her love for James, Temperance makes a hard decision that forces her to risk everything she holds dear. Deveraux makes good use of historical detail and creates characters who are charmingly and believably flawed. There's a fun mystery to solve regarding a hidden family treasure and the reason behind Angus's determination to see his nephew married off, and plenty of obstacles to overcome. All of it is seasoned with Deveraux's trademark humor and passion, a recipe that never fails to satisfy.

About the author

Jude Gilliam was born September 20, 1947 in Fairdale, Kentucky. She has a large extended family and is the elder sister of four brothers. She attended Murray State University and received a degree in Art. In 1967, Jude married and took her husband's surname of White, but four years later they divorced. For years, she worked as 5th-grade teacher.

She began writing in 1976, and published her first book, The Enchanted Land (1977) under the name Jude Deveraux. Following the publication of her first novel, she resigned her teaching position. Now, she is the author of 31 New York Times bestsellers.

Jude won readers' hearts with the epic Velvet series, which revolves around the lives of the Montgomery family's irresistible men. Jude's early books are set largely in 15th- and 16th-century England; in them her fierce, impassioned protagonists find themselves in the midst of blood feuds and wars. Her heroines are equally scrappy -- medieval Scarlett O'Haras who often have a low regard for the men who eventually win them over. They're fighters, certainly, but they're also beauties who are preoccupied with survival and family preservation.

Jude has also stepped outside her milieu, with mixed results. Her James River trilogy (River Lady, Lost Lady, and Counterfeit Lady) is set mostly in post-Revolution America; the popular, softer-edged Twin of Fire/Twin of Ice moves to 19th-century Colorado and introduces another hunky-man clan, the Taggerts.

Deveraux manages to evoke a strong and convincing atmosphere for each of her books, but her dialogue and characters are as familiar as a modern-day soap opera's. "Historicals seem to be all I'm capable of," Jude once said in an interview, referring to a now out-of-print attempt at contemporary fiction, 1982's Casa Grande. "I don't want to write family sagas or occult books, and I have no intention of again trying to ruin the contemporary market." Still, Jude did later attempt modern-day romances, such as the lighthearted High Tide (her first murder caper), the contemporary female friendship story The Summerhouse, and the time-traveling Knight in Shining Armor. In fact, with 2002's The Mulberry Tree, Deveraux seems to be getting more comfortable setting stories in the present, which is a good thing, since the fans she won with her historical books are eager to follow her into the future.

Jude married Claude White, who she later divorced in 1993. Around the same time she met Mohammed Montassir with whom she had a son, Sam Alexander Montassir, in 1997. On Oct. 6th, 2005, Sam died at the age of eight in a motorcycle accident.

Jude has lived in several countries and all over the United States. She currently lives in Charlotte, North Carolina and has an additional home in the medieval city of Badolato, Italy.

[Preeti ♥︎ Her Bookshelves · Rating 2 out of 5]

I thought I'd found this perfect rom-com HR before midwayish, things went south. Really really south.
And then, I hated and cringed my way through this.
If everyone around treated me so patronizingly, I’d just leave. Maybe after decking a few of them.
And if my mother did what her passive-aggressive ‘sweet’ mother did to her, I don't think I'd be able to ever forgive her.
Yes, I'm that angry on the h's behalf. Not that she deserves much sympathy for turning (or letting them turn her) into this meek-ish mindless uncertain timorous female who cannot see or do what’s so apparent to everyone else.

JD is a great writer but I don't know what she had in mind when she betrayed her character - her h and also the reader. It was only towards the end that I realized that this book has shades of Shrew-Taming. And done so by everyone important to the h. Not that much by the H maybe but her mother certainly and her stepdad - and mostly, the author!

Storyline is per the blurb.

The h is a strong, independent Edwardian woman, a social worker but the aim of everyone around her seems to be to make her doubt herself and break her till she starts doubting herself. The people around her may think she's not perfect or her life isn't. That they know better - for her.
Her new stepfather I can excuse as he cannot be expected to know or understand or care for her but I hated her 'sweet, soft' mother who lets her new husband browbeat her while ignoring her daughter's pleas. So, maybe she felt that the h needs to take a break from saving the world and live her own life but the slimy way it's done is horrible. Conniving to bring her to Scotland, take away her old life, ignore her while showing her again and again how she prefers her husband to her daughter and siding with him, breaking into tears or megrims whenever her daughter questions her, sending her alone to a God-forsaken place to housekeep for a stranger (no wealthy parent of that era would actually do that, imo), let her husband keep control of their money and put unreasonable conditions on the h ... and then in the end adding to her daughter's misery by involving/ actively participating in bringing the ow back in the H's life to 'prod' the h?
There wasn't a single sincere loving or mothering interaction in the book. All she does is behind the h's back, without the h’s knowing or consent

The H - same for him.
He's not such a great guy. His treats his mistress and illegitimate son (not with this ow) with such callousness and indifference. The son lives in the stables I think, and the mistress in a rundown cottage that he visits for his own purposes. The mistress thing is left a little open - she's a poor, jobless widow with a daughter to raise. So of course, it must be sex for favors/money kind of arrangement but it's alluded that she went to him because she was lonely and blah and blah. I don't buy it at all. It's just how men always use powerless women.
As for the h - First, he's so certain that she's secretly after him to marry her and then after they have sex and she rejects his oafish offer of marriage, he turns snide and hurtful. And carries on like that till the end. In the last few chapters, the reader is told that he's only acting mean (now) as he's plotting something against the ow-2. But, why not tell her and include her in his plans. Why hurt her more when she's visibly broken???

So, the h is treated like an imbecile by this lot.
No one really cared for her. Even the villagers only wanted her what she could do for them. Even her work with poor and helpless street women is trivialized and questioned.
Strong to self-doubting. the way her feelings and opinions are ignored every single day - in the beginning by the stepdad and later by the H and her mom - breaks my heart.

Only person who truly valued the h is the ow-1, the H's local mistress, Grace!
I love how these two bond. Normally, the h/ow residing together would nauseate me but here I'm grateful that the h had someone in her corner.
I wish they had dumped the selfish, oafish H and set house together - even a ff thing would be okay to me.
As for the women in his life - his childhood sweetheart is ow-2, a local village girl. He's forced to marry in his class leading to a loveless marriage. After wife dies, he has a child with another woman in London. Back in Scotland, he keeps Grace as his mistress.
Ow-2, we learn is more sinner than sinned against. She had another lover, later marries Grace. Ow-2 marries an older man and is now a widow. She never really loved the H and is now back for the 'treasure'.
This h, btw, has a ‘thing’ for all his exes. It’s funny what we learn, happens with the ow-2 at the end!

On top of all this, there’s so much inconsistent irrational behavior (on the treasure and Will front) as well as unnecessary push-pull on the h/H front that it grossed me out. First, he’s just a poor ‘farmer’ who cares more for his horses and sheep than his filthy, fallen apart house/castle or even people and then he’s this very clever person who knew all about the will, and sees through all the machinations of his relatives and the ow-2, plots not only locally but also trans-atlantically. Outlandish things like making her b*tchy rival come for just one conversation all the way from NY. Why would she do that anyways?

Almost too late, on the last day, she rediscovers her rationality and spirit.
“Couldn't he have talked to her about what he'd read? Sat down with her and told her that she'd changed? Why did he have to do such a sneaky and elaborate thing as go behind Temperance's back and arrange for Deborah Madison to come to McCairn? It was the kind of thing that you'd do to teach a child. Show them. But grown-ups had reasoning power. Couldn't he have… ?”

The H is barely repentant at the end and only when he feels that he's going to the h that he panics a bit.

Too, too long dragged out on top of it all!

SPOILERS AHOY!

Let me just say that I liked 90% of this book. And I liked the heroine, the secondary characters, the quaint Scottish Highland town...heck, I even liked the hero for the most part. And the audiobook narrator was great.

But then, just when the book was about to end. As in, 90% into the story, I got hit with a conflict that came out of nowhere and should've been brought up like 5 chapters prior but was dragged out because why not, right?

Anyway, I was perfectly ookaayyy with it. Well, sort of but I didn't feel like chucking my phone against the wall, so it's fine. I was like, "Whatevs, there's 10% more and JD could totally wrap this up and give me a satisfying ending." And JD was like, "LOL, sweet summer child. No."

And whaddaya know, right after the climactic scene where the heroine flounced off, instead of reading about the hero going after her immediately and beg her to come back, I heard the word:

TWO YEARS LATER

TWO. YEARS. LATER???

And oh, you guys might be saying, "That ain't too bad."

Wellllll, what if I told you that aside from the hero waiting two years to get his head out of his ass and run after the heroine, JD gave us another plot twist! A PLOT TWIST! AT 95 percent!

But of course, it was all tied up in a pretty little bow two minutes before the end. All if forgiven and forgotten. And oh, the hero didn't even bat an eye at the heroine revealing that she had gotten pregnant by the hero and had a son coz haha, she was too busy with drama, she totally forgot all about her period. I guess, she was so busy, she forgot about telling the hero, too.

But it's all fine. All is well. They made up before the time was up and got their HEA. Gag.

Based on the description I was not thrilled with the premise until I started reading. I really enjoyed this story and it was not as predictable as I thought. I was actually surprised by how things turned out.

Temperance is a woman in her late 20s in the early 20th century who is trying to make life better for women. When her mother marries she is forced into a position where she must travel to Scotland and find a husband for her step-father nephew. Temperance thinks this will be easy and she will be back in New York City in no time. However this is not how things turn out.

Even though this book is technically a romance I really enjoyed the characters Temperance and what she brought to the book. To me this book was more about her and her growth than the standard romance novel. I was so happy to see that it did not follow the typical romance plot model.

[♥ℳelody · Rating 1 out of 5]

The most frustrating book I've ever read. After I finally finished it I felt I completely wasted my time reading it. Story was completely dragged out to the point that I had trouble finishing it a few times. The ending I felt was completely rushed and made no sense and was just completely unrealistic and out of character, from James' side at least. The ending was the biggest problem I had with this book. It categorizes under 'WTF just happened?!' ending. I felt totally whiplashed and fuming after reading the final chapter. The ending was so disjointed from the rest of the book I felt like I was reading a section from another book rather then the conclusion to this. Not only that but the build up for these two to finally be together was torturously slow, like pulling teeth.

I felt the author spent more time dragging the story out throwing in stupid unnecessary plot point after plot point to keep them apart only to have them come together in a two second sloppy rushed scene at the very end where everything is magically forgiven with a surprise that Temperance felt she didn't need to tell or share with James. The 'surprise' and reaction to it was what was most unbelievable to me and very aggravating. I couldn't relate with Temperance and her over-bearing ways and some of her actions and decisions I just felt where unfounded, blown out of proportion, and at times unreasonable. This was one book where I ended up absolutely hating the heroine. It was really hard to even like her at times with her snappy remarks, snooty attitude then rushing off believing she deserved better at the very end was just unbelievable to me. I found myself sympathizing with the hero more and feeling sorry for him. And if that wasn't enough the big 'surprise!' reveal at the end makes her the ultimate Queen of Self-entitled Heartless Bitches.


Hiding a big secret like that at the end from him and being so nonchalant about it made me absolutely hate Temprence at the end of the book. And this lovely awkward 'reunion' at the end happens 2 YEARS LATER after the initial story takes place. The fact that this woman didn't even bother to tell him for 2 fucking YEARS about the secret she kept she ends up pregnant and has his child and doesn't bother to tell him was utterly ridiculous and unreedmable in my eyes. Try... RAGE INDUCING. What I found galling is that he's the one who gathers up the courage to visit her while she's living the high life content with her 'no bother' indifferent attitude. It just made me want to physically reach into the book and slap her. The whole 'oh it's you' reaction made me wish bodily harm to this dingbat. The most self-centered self-entitled haughty brittle arrogant hateful heroine I've ever had the displeasure of reading about. By the end of it there was nothing reedamble or likable about this woman. The self-entitlement and indifference to what she did is the most ridiculous thing of all. Like...do you have a heart? What about a conscience or decency? The absolute nerve of this woman. If the hero hadn't taken the initiative to find the heroine years later, he would have never known about his son. I have no sympathy for women who do what she did unless the reasons behind it are justified, and here it clearly wasn't. The author didn't even bother to give reasons as to WHY the heroine did what she did which confounded me more. Instead I got a sloppy rushed ending that was so unrealistic and unbelievable I had to fight the urge not to hurl the book out my window. It was just complete lazy writing IMO and turned me off completely. Don't just give me sub-par dialogue and expect me to read between the lines, give me explanations or POV's to actually back up characters' actions. Ugh.

If I had known it would end like that I honestly would have never ever read this.

I hate the name of the book cuz it makes it sound like a cheap romance novel. It is so not. It is very funny and more like romantic comedy. It ends good, but i feel like it just ended fast. i wanted more! It is the ultimate story of how pride can ruin everything.

A book about a sexy Scotsman and a strong-willed early feminist, with lots of humor, romance, adventure, and charm. I loved it. A real page-turner. I have never been disappointed by a JD book.

[Pamela · Rating 4 out of 5]

I usually love Jude Deveraux, and the good parts of this book are why. Two head strong people getting over deaths, that they felt responsible for. They hid from their pain by working. for others welfare. I won't spoil the book, but when they are thrown together you see what great possibilities, are there for them. The tempers, and pride tore at everything they tried to do. I realize that she was hurt, but his poor explanation should not have kept them apart. That part was not great for me. You can blame the behavior issues ,on both characters. James, should have gone after her, and did as she asked, and Temperance could not see past her own hurt feelings. I agree that the story went along, as changes were made in Scotland, and they became a bit closer, and then two years go by, with out any word, really ? That part was crazy, and unfair to both of them. The ending was so rushed, from the moment they have the family meeting , the rest is a rush of words. Where was the tenderness found in an Epilogue. That would have made it a five star...instead it is a 3,5 star, rounded to a four. Parts were funny, and endearing, but the author should have let them mature a bit faster, and given us a longer ending. She took so much time in the forming of the book, she just seemed to get bored and end it. Sad really.....I gave this a heroine leading book , since she did all the work, and planning, and helping. She put the village, and the house, back together, and even learned to cook, while he stayed on his mountain attending sheep. She even saved a mother sheep, when she could not deliver. He complained, and teased, but took for granted what she did for him, and his village. I also felt temptation was a dumb title. The Tempest in the Highlands, or something similar would have been more undersnandable.

[Auj · Rating 4 out of 5]

To be honest, I almost didn't read this book. I picked it up to read to have fewer books on my To Be Read shelf, and then chapter 1 just didn't seem so interesting, so I took this off my to-read shelf, but continued reading it anyways. And I was drawn into the story; Jude Deveraux is really a wonderful storyteller.

The 2 women (from the synopsis, I thought there would be way more) who were sent as marriage candidates were so ridiculous they were caricatures, I almost doubt that people like that really exist in the real world.

This book is classified as a romance, but it's not super romantic and not what I would read if I wanted a good romance. The ending also left a lot to be desired. I'm not sure what the author was thinking when she went that route. It does remind me of other books when the girl rejects the guy's proposal because he's not giving her the romance that she desires. But when she left and he found her two years later in NY, he wasn't mad at all to learn that she had kept his son from him this whole time??!! Most guys would have been furious! He was like heck, yeah whatever, cool.
Also totally uncool for Temperance to do that! She acted like she had done nothing wrong besides!!

I still am wondering why Jude named Temperance that. Is her name supposed to fit her personality? She was a very interesting character ngl. Also, not sure why the author titled the book "Temptation". It didn't really fit. A more fitting title would be "Temperance" lmao.

[Saj · Rating 2 out of 5]

I got this for 3 euros at a local drift store, intented as light holiday reading. I don't have a great past with Deveraux so my expectations weren't too high. Last book of hers that I read had a "romantic" rape-scene towards the beginning and that's just something I can't tolerate.

Anyways, this early 20th century romance was pretty bland, but OK. It had a great collection of romance novel cliches: annoying kids, proud scottish hero with a temper and a virginal yet somehow confident heroine who got on everybody's nerves most of the time (including mine). There was also a bit about a treasure, but that whole thing was completely unnecessary and uninteresting.

I did like the fact that the heroine was in her late twenties. It was refreshing when most romance heroines are between 19-23. Her age was of course a major plot point with everybody constantly talking about it. Somehow I find it hard to believe that early 20th century society would have been this fascinated by an unmarried 30-year-old.

The love affair itself was endearing and I liked the fact that both parties had to learn something and change in order to be together. Sadly, there was way too much other stuff going on and the story lacked focus. An A for effort, I guess.

[Janine · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wanted to love this book, but I was so disappointed in the ending. (Spoiler: Temperance leaves McCairn and doesn't see James for TWO years!!! Really?? I did not like that at all and the child would have still been a toddler and not able to meet James as portrayed). I listened to the audio version of this book and thought Carrington MacDuffie did a pretty good job with the narration and the Scottish accent.

There were a couple more unbelievable moments like when they delivered the twin lambs - I don't think they ever washed up afterwards and if the lambs landed in her lap why wasn't Temperance's skirt a mess?

I liked this book until the ending and it pretty much ruined it for me.

[Maria Sanigan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Humbling yourself, taking the selfishness away from your heart, and drowning your pride down in the abyss of the deepest sea, are the keys in true love. The story depicted it very clearly.

The heroine in the story, Temperance, once knew everything in the world. She knew how she stands, how a problem is to be solved, how she should walk, and talk, and everything in between. For short, she is a know-it-all kind of a woman. At one point in the story, I thought that she was the woman I would love to be. I thought at one point that a woman like her is the right kind of a woman. However, although this is true at a certain point, after her stay in McCairn, she became a different kind of woman -that the woman she once was, was a horrible and terrible one. On the other hand was James McCairn, the laird of the clan. He is sweet. And stubborn. And gorgeous. And prideful actually. So prideful that when he humbled himself just for love, I almost cried.

Everything was, once again, so magical what with the kaleidoscopic presentation of the beauty of the land, together with the people residing in McCairn. It shows how lovely it is to live in a world where people are together. United.

The story made my heart light. I was in love with the story that I finished it in a day -which is really fast for me as I am a very busy student. In all these things, I would have to thank Miss Jude Deveraux for another fantastic romantic novel set in a time and place where one dreams to live.

God Bless and continue on exploring the world through the art of reading!

Temperance O'Neil is a young, headstrong woman determined to make life for woman better. She is a woman ahead of her time - fighting for women's rights in 1909. Running an apartment building for women who have fallen on hard times, fighting goverment officials and speaking on the liberation of women is how she fills her time. Or at least that is how she was filling her time until her widowed mother gets remarried to a headstrong Scotsman.

Temperance's new father, Angus is determined to keep his step-daughter at home and teach her to be a meek quiet woman. However when his plan fails, he comes up with a better solution. Angus strikes a deal with Temperance - Find a wife for his nephew and he will allow her to return to her life and work in NY.

Feeling she has little choice in the matter, Temperance agrees and decides to pose as a housekeeper. What she doesn't realize is that this nephew has no interest in getting married nor does he have any desire for a housekeeper. The house is in shambles and he fights Temperance at her every move.

My opinion: I didn't really care for this book. I didn't at all feel as though I could connect with Temperance as a woman and just found her flat our irritation at times. Also, I felt that there were some scenes that I definitely could have done without! I will probably not read it again.

[Kristine Morris · Rating 3 out of 5]

Many of Jude Deveraux books are mislabelled as "romance". I read this book long ago on a beach in the Dominican Republic (the least offensive choice from the tack shop...I had forgotten to pack any books) and I remember enjoying it a lot. So when I came across it this weekend at a library discard sale for $1, I thought it was worth a second read. Like other books I've enjoyed, it tells the story of a young woman at the turn of the 20th century, shirking the traditional role of women and finding her own independent way in the world of business. Of course there's a side romance with a Scottish laird, but I honestly was surprised at how infrequently the "hero" appeared in this book. In fact there was zero character development of the "hero". Similar to Wild Orchids, this book is less about steamy romance and more about coming of age for an independent woman.

[Amy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was very entertained by this book. There were funny scenes including visions of a mayor eating a woman's hat to a spoiled rich woman learning to make do on a country Scottish estate. She puts her pushiness (is that even a word) and stubbornness to good use. she helped revitalize industry and create businesses and support systems in the small village. And she did it all while making sure that the laird of the clan didn't push her around. She also overcame some personal pride issues and became a better person for it. Of course the story has the customary happy ending, but I won't say much about that :-) generally, the story had a good plot, humor, and likable characters.

[Susan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked this book although the ending was off for me. I enjoyed how Temperance, our protagonist, develops through her experiences. Even though she complains and feels she cannot endure her trials, she pushes ahead and is determined to succeed in all that she does. She makes the best of each situation and has a positive influence on everyone’s lives. She realizes in the end what is really important and how to be a better person.

There is one detailed sex scene.

I did not like the end. It seemed to me that too much time went by before the final conclusion.

[Sally Lindsay-briggs · Rating 5 out of 5]

"Temptation" might be better titled "Tempestuous". Temperance is a bold, beautiful, outspoken leader in Women's Rights in the early 1900's. Her mother marries and her new father, gains control of her finances and forces her to go to Scotland, to James, the Laird, to find him a wife. Their relationship is volatile but rather fascinating. The story is intriguing and wonderful. I see why my daughter likes this author. Thanks, Monica.

[Jill]

So far, it hasn't been what I expected - Temperance has more depth than what it seemed on the back cover. I have a feeling the ending is going to be obvious, but we'll see ...

Well the ending wasn't quite what I expected. It wrapped up a little too quickly, but I was glad she didn't just settle right away, although 2 years is a little bit long of a time to wait.

[Claire · Rating 3 out of 5]

Temperance's self discovery is what I liked about this book. Learning & accepting who she really is and standing for what she truly believed in is what made this a good book. All women, through her, should learn the value of self worth.
