Product Description
Ingram
Sarah and Margaret may be country misses, but they can recognize a true gentleman when they see one. When a handsome lord aids them on the roads to London, he becomes smitten by Margaret, although it is Sarah who has secretly fallen in love. Now, with suitors at every turn, a scandal brews, as Sarah finds herself in the lord's arms, not as the woman he courts, but as the woman he desires. A Regency romance original. .

A Wishy Washy Hero, Jan 14 2012
By Lenore Schloming - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tempting Sarah (Paperback)
Sisters Sarah & Margaret Sommers are on the way to Grandmother Lady Alverley's London home when their carriage breaks an axle. They are rescued by Lord Eustace who is the romantic hero of the book, yet occupies little space there. He is not a well developed character. The book's point of view is exclusively the heroine's. The reader learns all her thoughts & feelings. The reader learns none of the hero's thoughts & feelings until the climax of the book. The book's action is mainly Lord Eustace's relationship with the two sisters as well as (late in the book) a deceased former fiance. Since the hero's romantic feelings were targeted towards three women, not one, there was not the intense sexual tension as happens when the hero's romantic (and lusty feelings) are targeted towards one woman. The book reveals little of the world within which Lord Eustace lives -- nothing about his family, friends, & activities. He lacks dimension. I prefer romances where I can relate to the hero & not just the heroine. And even at the end, the hero proposes marriage to the sister left AFTER the other one runs off. This hero did not make a choice. He was wishy washy. He never found a lady who aroused such intense feelings within him that he went right after her.I thought the plot was weak also. As one reviewer comments, "nothing happens in the book." The book's events all occur in London & just about everything that takes place is always from the point of view of Sarah. When the point of view in a book is just one character's, it is inevitably more boring than when there are a variety of points of view throughout the book.
I did read the book all the way through but I did not find it as engrossing as other romances I have read.

----3 1/2 Stars---, May 14 2011
By elm - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tempting Sarah (Paperback)
Sarah, 19, and her sister Margaret, 17, are headed for their first London season. They are to live with their wealthy grandmother to assist in finding them both brilliant matches since their mother has long passed away.
Lord Eustace, considered a paragon by many, stops to assist them when their carriage has an accident. He becomes attracted to Margaret although Sarah secretly falls in love with him.
They both have many suitors, Margaret more than her sister since she is far more beautiful. Buck goes into detail of their shopping trips and balls. Margaret falls for Captain Jeffries, who grandmother disapproves of.
Clean romance, characters are well developed but could have been so much better, nothing really entertaining happens.
