This was fine though I did find the bit at the end where everyone assumed that the heroine who is basically a kitten in human form deceived everyone annoying. I might try to track down the rest in this series, not sure.

A Christmas Temptation by Karen Booth is a second chance romance for friends who shared one sexy night together but never pursued something more, until fate throws them back together again.
When Sophie Eden and Jake Wheeler were in business school together their friendship seemed solid enough to chance a one night stand. But after that night Jake backed off, breaking Sophie’s heart and they went their separate ways. Several years later Jake is working for a development company that wants the property in Manhattan where the Eden department store is located – a store that Sophie expects to inherit from her grandmother who recently passed away. The will won’t be read for a few weeks but Sophie’s sister Mindy has already said she’s not interested in keeping the store and wants to sell, leaving Sophie trying to figure out a way to keep her grandmother’s legacy afloat. Jake aims to convince Sophie that her best option is to sell and to make sure his company is first on her prospective list.
When Sophie heads off to her grandmother’s home in Upstate New York to get ready for Christmas, Jake follows her and they get snowed in. Their mutual attraction leads to more sexy times, but no resolution as to what will happen to the business – or Sophie’s heart now that Jake is back in the picture. When the will is read, will it make them choose between business or love? Or can they have the best of both worlds?

I Can’t Wait to Read Book Two!
This was my first Karen Booth title, but it won’t be my last. I enjoyed it so much!
The Eden sisters are interesting, beautiful, determined, intelligent women. And they’re rich! Really rich. So this story isn’t about a Prince Charming rescuing them - no.
The author writes beautiful scenery, touching family flashbacks, and sexy scenes.
Thank you Karen Booth for the review copy of this title. Wonderful in so many areas.
I don’t often give five stars, but this story is worth all five!! I can’t wait for book two in this series.

4.5 stars
Karen Booth’s A Christmas Temptation is the first book in her Eden Empire series. The story sets up the series quite nicely with mistrust, greed, and revenge waiting to be served up.
Over thirty years ago, Victoria Eden created Eden’s, a large three story department store in Manhattan. At the height of its success, Eden’s had seventy six stores in twelve countries. Now, with the downturn in retail, only the original store is left. Dying unexpectedly, Victoria’s vast estate is expected to be passed on to her granddaughters, Mindy and Sophie.
Sophie Eden has spent the past several years working side by side with her grandmother, helping her run Eden’s. For her, Eden’s is in her blood and working for the company is what she was meant to do. But her older sister doesn’t have the same feelings. Mindy has her own successful company, and once the will is read wants to sell the company and become a billionaire. Still reeling from the sudden death of her beloved grandmother, Sophie is inundated with calls and gifts from investors looking to buy Eden’s. They aren’t looking to take over running the store. They’re looking to buy the building and the land it sits on. But Sophie is determined to keep the store and continue her grandmother’s legacy.
One of the investors looking to buy the store is Jake Wheeler. Jake was Sophie’s best friend in business school and also the man who broke her heart. The two haven’t spoken to or seen each other in eight years. But now Jake is back, acting like they’re still friends and that nothing happened between them.
Mindy is convinced Jake is the one who can get Sophie to agree to sell. When Sophie goes to their grandmother’s upstate New York estate, Mindy tells Jake where to find her. A snowstorm blows in, trapping Jake and Sophie for the weekend. The two reconnect as friends and much more. With the two wanting different things for the department store, their budding relationship is already strained. When trust issues surface, the two will have to decide if they should follow their hearts or their minds.
A Christmas Temptation is a truly enjoyable story. I was surprised to find the story to be a sensual read. I loved every second of it. Sophie LOVES Christmas and the holiday season. Jake, not so much… “I know you’re going to think I’m crazy, but I hate Christmas.” To Sophie’s shock the man of her dreams has a heart two sizes too small. But Jake soon discovers that Sophie is like a beacon of light, “You make me feel hopeful.” Prepare to fall in love with A Christmas Temptation.

A Christmas Temptation begins what looks to be a fascinating series, The Eden Empire by Karen Booth. Although, I have to admit that I was totally on Sophie’s side in this romance. Jake struck me as a very frustrating man, one who is quick to make assumptions and slow to accept facts. I wanted to reach into this story more than a few times and give him a stern talking to, plus a few deadly glares. We love who we love, there is no logic involved and for Sophie Jake was her one, no matter my opinion of him. If it’s true that we most often hurt the ones we really love – then Jake is completely smitten by Sophie since he’s hurt her time and time again. To be frank, I never warmed up to Jake, even knowing his past and his reasons for his issues. Sophie I adored, often the underdog in the situation of trying to honor and continue her grandmother’s legacy, Sophie captured my emotions with her strength and determination.
I won’t give away spoilers, that’s not my way, but I will gladly recommend A Christmas Temptation to any reader who loves a good, solid romance, intriguing situations and a few puzzles to be worked out for the happy ending to take place. Sophie and Jake’s story introduces us to some other interesting secondary characters, some who will have their story told later in this series. With a few simple twists and turns A Christmas Temptation has captured my curiosity and now I need to know how the entire story ends.
If you’re in the mood for a Christmas filled romance, with interesting characters, a unique situation and a few surprises in store… then you’ll want to pick up the beginning of The Eden Empire series and get lost in a unique world. I’ve already made note of the release dates for the rest of this series because I don’t want to miss a thing.
I own a Kindle edition of this story.

I won this book on Facebook in a contest. While romance books are not my normal choice of books to read, I admit I am a sucker for a Christmas romance book. I love happy endings at Christmas time and I love all the sappy Hallmark Christmas movies. This book definitely fits in that category and I think it would make a great movie. Sophie Eden is about to inherit her grandmother's empire Eden's Department Store and in the process it brings her one true love back into her life. Jake Wheeler is a big, rich developer who represents a group of rich investors who want to buy the store for the land for development. He and Sophie had shared one night of passion years ago and then Jake walked away breaking her heart. Jake wants to keep it all business and get Sophie to sell but his best intentions go awry when he sees beautiful Sophie again. Thinking he can keep things business like he follows her to her family country estate and they get snowed in for a few days. Passion reignites between them but will they be able to survive this time or will business get in the way. Set at Christmas time this is a story of trust, faith and love that in order to survive must overcome old childhood memories and emotions that might destroy them. Great Christmas love story.

4 1/2 STARS!
With the kick-off her brand new Eden Empire series, Karen Booth brings us the story of the first Eden sister as she tries to figure out a way to keep her family heritage while conflicting circumstances try to take it away. This book laid a great groundwork for the coming books with a big secret revealed toward the end that added another dimension for us to look forward to. Really enjoyed it!
Sophie Eden will do anything to be able to keep her grandmother's department store running as the huge success she made it over the years. She not only has to contend with her sister over how to proceed, but now she has a familiar face from her past knocking at her door wanting to arrange an immediate buy out.
Jake Wheeler remembers Sophie fondly from their years spent at each other's side in business school. He believes their connection give him a foot in the door that will have him snagging this deal before anyone else knows it's even in play. Sophie however, isn't portraying a warm fuzzy feeling when he reaches out to her. Turns out she cared more than he even realized back in the day and isn't quick to forgive him for stomping all over her heart!

Three and a half stars
Sophie Eden's the granddaughter of Victoria Jane Eden, founder of Eden's Department Store. Sophie's always loved everything about Eden's, and coming to work alongside her grandmother several years ago was the culmination of a lifelong dream. The fact that her grandmother's just passed away makes this first Christmas without her especially bittersweet.
Jake Wheeler and Sophie were friends all through college, until one day when their friendly flirting tipped over into something more. But Jake figures he's not a good bet when it comes to relationships and wanted to press the equivalent of an undo button. That left Sophie brokenhearted but slightly wiser in matters of the heart...
Since then, Jake's gotten involved with a group of investors, and with Eden's possibly coming onto the market, they want him to make the most of any of his connections to give them the advantage. Turns out their attraction is as strong as ever, and the time they spend getting reacquainted changes them both.
Karen Booth's second-chance story is a sweet one, and Sophie's almost naivete counters Jake's hard-edged cynicism.
Looking forward to Sophie's sisters' stories!

I’m thrilled to receive an early copy of this in exchange for my honest review . The cover alone will have readers snatching this one up! This was a lovely festive read as we enter the holiday season ... having worked retail myself , I can say Karen captures the BUSY festive season of retail shopping & that’s what makes this Empire series work , being that the series starts with a reading of a will that determines how the series will progress with the possibility of a corporate sale OR NOT . Since Sophie and Jake shared a not so memorable past together , it makes their Holiday journey to a possible HEA MORE interesting. These two were both very strong willed in their ideas for the future growth that the plot twist really made things exciting . I enjoyed watching the chemistry bloom between them as they dealt with Sophie’s impending decision to sell the Eden empire , right down to the Xmas eve retail employment appreciation perks .. the story was filled with generational ideals , traditions & secrecies of sorts that all families keep tucked away.. making this a great read !

good holiday read. Sophie grew up knowing that she would one day be working along side her Grandmother in the store she started. After several years there, Gram passes away unexpectedly and Sophie and her sister Mindy are at odds about store. Mindy has her own business and wants no part of running Eden's with her sister but Sophie wants no part of selling it especially to Jake Wheeler her college love. He broke her heart 8 years ago and she has never got over it. He thinks he only wants the store but soon discovers he really wants her. They all discover that Gram had a secret and unexpected granddaughter turns up to share in Eden with stipulation that it is not sold for 2 years. Jake thinks that Sophie has lied to him and she tells him to go away and she never wants to see him again. Her sister Mindy thinks the same and does not speak to her for over a week. Jake realizes that he was wrong and goes in search of Sophie of course, she takes him back.
I would have liked to see her make it a little harder for him to come back.

This is book one in the Eden Empire series. It’s Jake and Sophie’s story. I really liked this book. What a great start to the series. I loved the opposites attract of Sophie and Jake. She’s so cheery and light where Jake is pessimistic and dark. She loves Christmas and Jake hates it. I’m looking forward to reading the other books in the series and seeing how the family drama eventually plays out.
Sophie and Jake have a past. They were friends in business school and one night they ended up in bed together. The next morning Jake sluffs it off like it wasn’t a big deal leaving Sophie heartbroken. Eight years later Jake is back and this time he wants to buy her grandmother’s department store. Sophie is still reeling from the loss of her grandmother and determined to keep the store up and running. Mindy, Sophie’s sister, wants to sell. A bombshell is dropped at the reading of the will that changes everyone’s plans. Misunderstandings happen, feeling get hurt and whole lot of family drama ensues.

I adore a second chance. Combine that with the magic of Christmas and I’m just filled with warm fuzzy feelings. I love Sophie. She’s working so hard to hold her family legacy together and almost no one seems to appreciate what she’s doing or what it’s costing her. Jake both broke my heart and frustrated me. His experience growing up was utterly tragic and it was easy to empathize with his lack of trust. However, his shabby treatment of Sophie made me repeatedly want to shake some sense into him. As the start of a new series, this book has all the secrets and betrayals necessary to hook this reader. I can’t wait to read the rest.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.

This is the first book in The Eden Empire series, it is a sweet and steamy second chance romance. It can be read as a standalone romance, I read book 2 first but I suggest reading in order.
Sophie has recently lost her grandmother, the family matriarch, wanting to keep the business going but her sister wants to sell. The man that won her heart in college and broke it just as fast, wants to buy the company but while spending time together they grow closer and when the reading of the will happens, family secrets come to light. A fast-paced story that is quick to read.

This is my first time reading Karen Booth!
Christmas stories can be a hit or miss, unfortunately. But this was a nicely weaved tale of Christmas and intrigue and it was pretty sexy in some parts. Sophie and Jake had a great chemistry and one of my favorites, a past from their time in business school. Without spoiling anything there is misunderstandings and doubts and childhood traumas blah blah blah the usual with a harlequin.
What makes this different from typical tales is the author’s humor and the nicely set up storyline or story arc for the remaining books in the series.

Give in to temptation
Great start to a new series. I love when I come upon a series that has been out and I can binge read. The characters have a past and must overcome what happened while dealing with new circumstances around the holidays with the kick of one of them hating Christmas. Loved the side characters and can't wait to read their stories.

I totally enjoy reading about families, how they relate, and when a family is forced into a situation that isn't what they want, what wins out. Everyone wants something different, and this book shows that in a great way. Looking forward to reading more about this familt.

I love this first book of the Eden Empire series! The dedicated and hard working Sophie is trying to hold on to the last of her family's Eden department stores while the blast-from-her-past Jake tries to buy it out from under her. However, a snow storm, sexy times and a genuine meeting of the minds propels Sophie and Jake to a heart warming HEA. Great to get a cameo appearance by the Locke family!! Can't wait for book 2!
