Novel of Sensual Destiny #2
Taste of Temptation
Helen Hamilton is a twenty-five-year-old spinster with no income and no prospects who struggles to care for her two orphaned sisters. Destitute and only a heartbeat away from the streets, Helen applies for a position as a governess to the younger siblings of Captain Tristan Odell, the oldest and illegitimate son of notorious philanderer the Earl of Hastings. But when Tristan turns Helen away, her future seems as desperate as her options.
Determined to do whatever it takes to support her sisters, Helen ends up at a brothel, where she agrees to sell herself as a mistress to a client of wealth and prestige. She even drinks a potion to make men desire her -- and is shocked when the man who buys her is none other than Tristan. He too is shocked -- and aroused by the possibilities. He hires Helen, but offers her more than a position as governess. Enmeshed in an affair of unrestrained desire, their passion quickly grows, as does an unexpected danger that could soon destroy them both...

Drama, Crazy and Evil ennemies, Groveling... this was so riveting
But I didn't like the Captain. I mean, he is a typical Cheryl Holt hero: possessive, smitten, forceful, can't take no for an answer but Odell was the worst. His fit of rage were ridiculous, he sounded scary at times, no really sexy. What really annoyed me with him was how Michael was even more mature. I mean, Michael had to tell him they shouldn't cheat on their beloved, come on Odell, shame on you.
But the groveling was nice to see. I love how Helen didn't simply fall back into his hands when he ''realized'' he loved her. She made him miserable and that was fully deserved
The story is basically the plot, when he saved her from the brothel he became infatuated with her in an obsessive way and they get close. There are several vilains here who were over the top, Maud should have died at the end, I don't care but it should have happened somehow.
Philip was nice to see again, honestly he and his sister saved the story for me, he was annoying in book 1 but here he was perfect!
4 stars and half bumped to 5, had to remove half of star because of stupid Odell lol

Take one wicked witch and her dreary daughter, then add a few destitute damsels, a traveling tonic salesman, a dashing duke and a sexy sea captain and you get a splendid concoction of characters in Cheryl Holt’s latest, “Taste of Temptation.”
When Helen Hamilton interviews for a governess position to support her younger sisters Jane and Amelia, Captain Tristan Odell immediately turns her away. He fears she may tempt his half-brother Michael Seymour, the 18-year-old Duke of Hastings. Michael is a bit impetuous when it comes to the fairer sex and Tristan, is charged with looking after the recently installed duke and their 12-year-old sister Rose.
With no money or a job, Helen is forced to sell herself as a mistress. When she is presented to Tristan, who happens to be in the market for a mistress, he feels guilty and offers her the position of governess instead.
Tristan also allows her sisters to move in as well. Amelia makes a perfect companion for Rose, who has never had a friend. They are treated as houseguests, not servants, much to the detriment of Michael and Rose’s older cousin Maud Seymour. Tristan is bossy and brash and is used to being obeyed. He finds Helen’s strong spirit to be a challenge.
Maud is scheming to match Michael with her daughter Miriam, but her plans are threatened when Michael shows an interest in Jane.
Deceit is a common theme in “Taste of Temptation.” A charlatan sells tonics, such as “The Spinster’s Cure,” aimed at finding an unwed woman a husband. Tristan tries to make Helen jealous by feigning interest in Maud and Michael must ignore Jane in public because of her low social rank. The biggest deceiver of all is Maud, who lies and manipulates in order to get rid of the Hamilton sisters.
Holt’s “Taste of Temptation,” evokes a myriad of emotions. It is a must have for your summer reading list.

Formulaic and dull
2 stars
At 25 years old, Helen Hamilton is firmly on the shelf of spinsterhood. With the death of her notorious father, Helen is destitute and must care for her two sisters with little money and no prospects. When she tries for a position of a governess at Captain Tristan Odell's home she is turned away.
Desperate, she ends up in a brothel selling herself as mistress to the highest bidder. It's a shock to both when Tristan ends up taking her home. An illegitimate rake, Tristan is excited by the prospect of having Helen in his home. But will he offer her a position as governess or something more?
I am usually a fan of Cheryl Holt although I'll admit that she does like to stick to her formula of rich, arrogant man and down-on-her-luck lady mixed with plenty of evil relatives thrown in to keep the couple apart. However, in this novel it seemed far too formulaic which resulted in a dull story that I struggled to get into.
I can't really say much about Helen as a character that's positive. She was supposed to be a strong survivor while she actually came across as weak and pathetic. Tristan was your usual arrogant hero but without much depth. His actions didn't seem to match his words and he was too quick to jump from one extreme to the other with his emotions for them to be believable. I'd like to say the pair had chemistry but to be honest they had so little interaction in the book that you practically forgot they were even there.
The reason for the lack of interaction was the secondary characters who seemed to take up all the pages. There was the "romance" between the immature, randy earl who was hard to like and Jane, the teenager who clearly knew what she was doing in trying to trap herself an aristocrat. That we were supposed to root for these two was beyond me.
Overall, as I said, I realty struggled with this story. It's the second in the Spinster's Cure series (also known as Novels of Sensual Destiny) (after Promise of Pleasure and before Dreams of Desire) and I'll read the next book but really can't recommend this one. 2 stars and even then I feel I'm being generous!

Can't read it.
February 3, 2011
I was borderline between giving Taste of Temptation three stars or two stars and finally decided on two starts, an okay read, which it was. It definitely had the potential to be a story I liked but too many recurring annoyances with the characters ultimately swayed my decision.
The good. A wonderful quirky and funny read. The writing style is really witty and therefore catchy, whose sense of humor I caught on immediately. The writing style had me chuckling many times over, enabled me to build a rapport with the characters and delve into the story. Humor is always a good thing and when it is used with ease it really makes for a lively read. Then I realized that was the only good thing I really like about the story and this leads right into...
The bad. I did not like characters, whose actions, antics, tantrums and childish behaviour did not endear me to them. Nor did I feel any sympathy for their plight. For much of the story the sisters carry a self-entitlement about them that is not becoming of their circumstances and prevents them from acknowledging their mistakes. None of the characters are perfect but neither are their redeemable qualities redeemed. Although their actions can be viewed as confident and independent-minded, it came off as childish and hypocritical. Accusations are flying left and right and yet they are the victims, never mind their own role in the scandal.
There were plenty of moments like these which exasperated and dampened my interest in the story. Even the writing style was not enough, especially when I realized much of the plot was left unchanged. Helen Hamilton is resourceful and determined to save her sisters from poverty. She endeavors to find herself a job, not necessarily befitting her station in life, a gently bred lady, but nevertheless necessary. She ends up as governess to Captain Tristan Odell's charges under the most unseemly of circumstances. He finds her in a brothel.
Soon sparks are flying and tempers are flaring but with a passion that Helen and Tristan cannot seem to elude. Under much the same spell and disillusions is younger sister, Jane Hamilton who enters into an affair with Micheal, The Earl of Hastings and Tristan's half-brother. Thus, propriety goes out the door, love factors in and before it can be accepted drama and malicious antics ensues. The brothers justify their cowardice to an obligation to duty and station, whereas the sisters choose to point the blame rather than acknowledge their own duplicity. As always, love does conquer all, despite the silly journey towards it.

I enjoyed this book.
The book starts with Helen Hamilton on her way to an interview with Tristan Odell, for a position as governess when she encounters Philip and Clarinda Dudley (aka Dubois) selling their potions on the road. Philip gives her a Spinster's Cure and tells her that she should drink it while looking upon the man she wishes to marry and she will be married ti him within a month. After being turned down for the job, she drinks the potion to slake her thirst at the same moment Tristan walks into her view. Oops.
Tristan, feeling a little guilty for turning her down for the job as governess to his half-sister, Rose, later finds Helen in a brothel trying to sell herself as a mistress. He "buys" Helen from the brothel and after seeing her living conditions, he hires her as the governess and brings her and her two sisters, 12yo Amelia and 18yo Jane, to live with them. Amelia becomes a companion/friend to Rose, the half-sister, and Jane quickly develops a mutual fondness for Rose's brother and the new Earl of Hastings, Michael. Maud Hastings, the aunt of the Hastings children, and her daughter Miriam, are hoping someday that Michael will marry Miriam. They are not happy to have the Hamilton women in the house.
Both Helen and Rose become "ruined" by their respective love interests. Both are hoping they will someday marry their man, but both men are opposed to the idea. Illegitimate Tristan is a man of the sea and does not believe he will settle down, especially with someone like Helen (who is better-bred than he). Michael, as Earl of Hastings, believes he needs someone who is higher-bred than Jane. When Jane & Michael's affair is found out, Tristan takes Michael away with the intention of going to Scotland to keep him away from Jane. Maud, finding herself in a position of power with Tristan gone, kick the Hamilton women out of the house, sending them to London and then arranging for their arrest for a framed robbery. With Clarinda's help, Amelia manages to escape and secretly makes her way to Rose. Tristan & Michael soon show up at the London house having decided against going to Scotland and looking for Helen & Jane. Eventually finding out what happened, they banish Maud & Miriam and rescue the two girls from prison. Michael and Jane run off to Scotland to elope (which is the last we hear of them in this novel). After clearing up a few other misunderstandings, Helen & Tristan reconcile and plan to marry.

Well written, but good God, I hated all the characters. They were either stupid or selfish. The "hero" lies to the heroine and tells her he loves her just so she'll have sex with him. Despicable. And don't get me started on the fact that he knew she was drunk, yet took her virginity anyway. His attitude of "you're going to sleep with me sooner or later, might as well get it over with," was really annoying.
The heroine sleeps with the hero expecting him to marry her, even though he doesn't say he will, and knowing that she's a governess and that the possibility is unlikely. The heroine's sister is equally stupid, sleeping with the earl (the hero's half-brother), also assuming he'll marry her. Why would they assume that? They both know that they have come down in the world and that it's unlikely an earl would marry beneath him. But if you give him your virginity, he'll marry you? Argh! The heroine's sister also put up with being treated shabbily for far too long. The earl pretty much ignored her unless he was able to get her horizontal, yet she follows him around like a sad puppy dog.
Plus, it's especially stupid behaviour for the heroine and her sister in those days, when a child out of wedlock could ruin a woman's life--she could have been thrown out on the street to end up earning a living as a prostitute. Considering that the sisters were a hairsbreadth away from being thrown out on the street when the hero first took them in, you would think they'd have a bit more sense.
And then the hero sends them away when he finds out about his brother's affair with the younger sister. Yeah, the sisters are good enough to sleep with, but not good enough to marry into his family. While I know this was the attitude of the time, that doesn't mean I have to like it.
I'd tried this author before and hadn't like her, but I thought I'd give her another chance. I doubt there will be a third.

I didn't like this book at all and give it a D-.
It’s stated many times throughout the story that Helen is 24 years old yet the synopsis says she’s 25.
What ties each book in this series together is the man who sells the love potions and his sister. They’re in this book much more than in the previous one. This book is too similar to the previous one and just as terrible. Both feature a poor hero or heroine who goes to live with a wealthier person and brings others with them. Both books are two ‘love’ stories in one. Both books have a jealous female who’s out to get revenge on the heroine simply because they’re jealous of the heroes affection for them. Both sets of hero and heroine get their unbelievable happily-ever-after at the end. I’ve decided that I won’t be reading any future books by this author. I do have most of her other ones and it’ll be interesting to see how her first two historicals, which were published ten years ago, compare to this series. Something tells me they’ll be better

I struggled with whether to put 2 stars or 3, but it landed on three because I gave it the benefit of the doubt. I enjoyed reading what it was like to find work as a woman back in the day. The romance was intriguing between Helen & Tristan, but I got bored by the parallel romance in the relationship between Helen's sister Jane and Michael. It just seemed like the author was using the same story for both girls with the only difference that they were 6 years apart and Michael was officially an Earl while Tristan was only brother to an Earl. The same story happened within chapters from one another. Tristan had redeeming qualities, though, when he bought Helen & Jane's childhood home that was taken from them previously in foreclosure.
Apparently this is the second in a series, but I didn't feel lost in the story line having never read the first. Ahh, now I see... not really a series following the same story line, just a series of romances that the author wrote. Hm. Odd.
I would read more by this author.

Cheryl Holt hasn't published a book in a year now, but for the past two months, books from her are now popping out. I can not believe what a year would make!!! I have never seen an author transition a total 180 degree from her regular writing style! In my opinion, Holt was one of my favourite erotic novelist but now I don't know....I do see that she has given more effort in story telling but c'mon....she's famous for erotic romance! The only thing erotic in it, didn't even involve the main characters!
I felt her story plots were reduntant & she certainly already created similar plots for her other books. She had a interesting story line but it totally fell flat once you begin to read it.
What a great disappointment!

This is totally THE BEST book I've read in weeks! I adored Tristan, Helen is someone I'd love to have as a friend, Amelia and Rose were a hoot and Maud was the most horrific antagonist I've seen in ages. While I want to say run out and get this book NOW you really should read book one, the Promise of Pleasure first just so you can also meet Phillipe and Clarinda and just have a darn good read. But this is a must read.

This was a good read however it was a little slow. I felt like it glossed over a lot of the character development. There was a lot in this book that wasn't neccessary to advance the story. It seemed to have way too many sub-plots that never advanced or were glossed over. My opinion is that this might have been better as a series. so the sub-plots that the author wanted to include could reach their full potential. Overall it was an enjoyable read but not the best in this genre.
July 4, 2010
It was a good story. I really enjoyed the romance between Tristan and Helen. However, I am not sure why this book is marked as an erotic romance. It was no steamier than most romances. Never the less, the story was enjoyable.
July 26, 2010
I really didn't like this book. It says on the cover it's an erotic romance but it seriously lacks erotic scenes and plain old sensuality. I didn't like the characters. The plot was all over the place, with the conflict resolution happening way too fast.
June 17, 2010
Not too bad...liked the heroine...not the hero. I didnt care for the way he treated her at the start of the book. Looking forward to the next book and still looking for the 1st book in the series.
