Jude Deveraux is one of my favorite authors and I have read every novel of hers. Temperance O'Neil was definitely a woman ahead of her time who thought she didn't need a man to be truly happy and she didn't but ... and James McCairn was a man with great pride who had to eventually set pride aside in order to gain what most of us want in our lives "Friendship, Love and Happiness". Temptation was a wonderful reading experience but I knew it would be before I even purchased it. You can't ever go wrong with Jude because she has written some of the best novels ever. Now the wait begins for her next new release.
