"Besides sex… what do you need a woman for?"—Simon, Viscount Barrenger, Earl of Collingsworth.

Simon, a notorious rogue and drunkard, is known for his sexual prowess, meaningless relationships, and biting cynicism. However, behind the dissolute rakehell image, there lays a secret to his bitterness.

Abigail Forsythe has come to London to experience the ritual of the Season, despite her own disdain for the trappings of society. Raised by an eccentric aunt, Abby is well educated and loves a challenge. When she first meets the arrogant Simon, she longs to put him in his place. But fate is precarious and A Taste of Temptation is all it takes.

The chemistry between Abby and Simon is explosive and their need for one another is undeniable. All too quickly their affair spins out of control. From the heights of passion to the depths of pain, they fight against one another and destiny, giving of their bodies and eventually laying bare their hearts.

In this sequel to Whispers in the Dark, Gayle Eden delivers a memorable erotic romance. A Taste of Temptation is a tale about the transforming power of desire and love.

Exciting and stimulating, A Taste of Temptation is sure to leave the reader feeling flush. Thoroughly enjoyable, this passionate romance is sure to please the readers."

"A Taste of Temptation is most definitely the best book I have read since I don’t know when. I sat for three hours reading it in its entirely, refusing to stop reading even to take a potty break I was that enthralled. Any Judith McNaught fans will definitely love this book, as it is very reminiscent of her writing. Each and every character in the book was wonderfully created and I loved the way that the story didn’t just focus on Abby and Simon, but had a little background story of Kendyl and Damien as well. The suspense was perfect—not too much to get you annoyed and wanting the author to ”get on with it,“ but the perfect amount to keep you hooked. The chemistry and passion between Abby and Simon was so tangible, and anytime they were together I could definitely feel the heat! This book is going in my pile to be read over and over and over again."
