Book Review By Pamela Piarowski
Temptation by Jude Deveraux

Temperance O'Neil is a strong-willed, outspoken woman fighting for equal rights for women in New York. That is, until her mother's new husband, Angus, tells her that he will cut her off without a cent if she doesn't agree to live by his rules and to find herself a husband. Forced into the backwoods of Scotland, Temperance agrees to act as a housekeeper for Angus's nephew, James McCairn, and if she can find him a wife, she'll be allowed to go free, with all the money she wants. But it isn't as easy as Temperance thought it would be, and it becomes harder and harder for her to resist the sexy Scotsman's rugged good looks, gentle heart, and tempting offers. Once again, Deveraux brings to life a charming couple ripe for romance, heartbreak, love, and strife in the wilds of early 1900's Scotland.
