Eden's Pleasure By: Kate Pearce (Read Excerpt) E-mail this product to a friend Eight years ago, after a summer of sexual dalliance with Gervase Harcourt and his twin brother Gideon, Eden was forced into marriage.

A on 1/16/2010, said: Not my cup of tea. I loved "Antonia's Bargain" and purchased "Eden's Pleasure" anticipating the older book might not contain the level of craft as the newer one. More telling than showing, poor plotting, and a peculiar, "disconnected" voice took away any titillation or romantic excitement. Most of the book is sexual description, often exagerrated and unrealistic, and Eden's lifeless narration might as well be recounting a recipe for biscuits. Gervase is the only character portrayed with any amount of passion and vitality. It seemed to me Pearce didn't know any of her other characters and didn't know how to portray their feelings. The story has moments, but I found it neither erotically nor romantically titillating. I recommend only to Pearce fans who've read other books and are curious to see how far her craft has come.
