Three
young heirs are imprisoned by their uncle and when they escaped, they went
their separate ways. One went the sea; another to the streets and the last one
to a land’s faraway battle. All three determined to return to reclaim their
birthright. This is the story of Lord Tristan Easton.
Lord
Tristan Easton was once his name but now he goes by the infamous moniker,
Crimson Jack, a notorious privateer. His love for the sea is renowned but when
he meets Lady Anne Hayworth, well let’s just says his mistress, the sea, has
competition in this exquisite woman who captures Tristan’s heart. Desperation
has sent Anne to Tristan’s side but she has never known a desire so hot or
feeling so totally right before. Tristan says he will help her and her payment
is to be a kiss….a kiss that will ignite something between them that will flare
out of control. When Lady Anne leaves his side, her heart breaking, can Tristan
find the strength to find her and convince her to be by his side-forever? Can
this lost lord find the path to the home he longs for?
I
absolutely adore this book. It was fun, emotional, and searingly hot plus the
writing was perfect. The story flowed smoothly, a few twists and turns had me
on the edge of my seat and the cast of characters was delightful. Tristan and
Anne were a perfect balance to one another. Both tried to keep their hearts
under wraps but after awhile they find themselves falling in love and I got to
admit, this was one passionate couple. Tristan is scarred by his loss of his
brothers and father; Anne feels guilty and melancholy. Both want different
things, but they can not stay away from one another. These two really tugged my
heart and the author has a way about her writing that captured their heart felt
emotions, their issues from the past and even the present to finding that their
love can be all that they wished for and more.
Meet
Crimson Jack, a notorious privateer and a man with secrets. Those secrets he
holds close to his heart and when he meets Lady Anne Hayworth, well all bets
are off. But problems are in store for these two passionate people. For Tristan
is not only a privateer but also the lost son of the late Duke of Keswick.
Disappeared years before, Tristan has vowed to find his brothers and take down
his evil uncle. But he never anticipated the Lady Anne stealing his heart along
the way. Tristan is a hero with painful secrets, ones that cause him pain. He
hides his heart, vowing never to love but the author does a marvelous job in
creating Anne as his perfect foil. She fights him, makes him love her and in
the process, she heals his heart, though both fight against it. The secondary
characters are wonderful and keep the story flowing nicely and I loved how they
were integrated into Tristan and Anne’s story.
Ms.
Heath delivers a romantic tale to warm her readers up on a cold winter’s night.
LORD OF TEMPTATION is more than guy finds girl, falls in love and lives
happily ever after. Both main characters have pasts that cause hurts and those
hurts need to be healed in order to find the love they need and long for. LORD
OF TEMPTATION is a memorable tale and one I plan to read again. Kudos to
Ms. Heath for creating a story that stole my heart and left me breathless in
the end. I look forward to reading the
other stories about Tristan’s lost brothers next.
