Three young heirs, imprisoned by an unscrupulous uncle, escaped - to the sea, to the streets, to faraway battle - awaiting the day when they would return to reclaim their birthright.

Lord of Temptation is another very good love story between the 2nd Pembrook twins Lord Tristan Easton brother to the Duke of Keswick and Lady Anne Hayworth, daughter to the Earl of Blackwood. This is one Hot sensuous Romance between Triston and Anne. It was a whirlwind romance.

She needs to ask his forgiveness for an argument they had before he left for the war. Triston is intrigued and in lust with her. They make a bargain for her to secure passage on his ship the Revenge.

They have lived some pretty hard lives after there escape and it has shaped Triston's views on love and settling down in one place. The Sea is his home now. Anne is troubled by what she perceives she has done to hurt the love of her life Walter and she can't forgive herself just yet.

Lorraine Heath is one of the best Historical Romance authors writing today. Her romances centered around the couple and are very detailed with a backdrop of lively loveable secondary characters. Her stories are well developed with just the right amount of backstory for a series book. I encourage all lovers of HR to read "The Lost Lords of Pembrook!!

Great Series

I loved this series! Each brother had different disastrous experiences scarring their hearts and effecting their adults lives. The loves of each of their lives gave them what they needed to adjust to their new normals. Great ways helped reader to evaluate their own relationships.

Loved it

I've been waiting for this book to come out, since I fell in love with the first one in the series! This one was fantastic. I wasn't a fan of the narrator. But I love Lorraine Heath's books. Can't wait for book 3!

Excellent 2nd book in this series.

This is the 2nd book in the series of Lost Lords of Pembrook. The first book is not available on audible, however I did read it and it was fantastic, it was about Sebastian. This book, Lord of Tempation, is about Tristan and the 3rd book is about Rafe. I am looking forward to the 3rd book which is available on audible, and I am about to start it. I am not sure why audible does not have the books grouped as a series or why the 1st one is not available on audible. However, the order of this series is as follows:
She Tempts a Duke
Lord of Temptation
Wicked Intentions

I hope this helps.
Also I thought the narrator has done a fantastic job!

A Little Too Melodrama

I really believe this book would have been so much better had the narrator not been so melodramatic. I truly like Lorraine Heath books but this one, I didn't, not so much. I understand romance is truly formula writing however, there are writers like Julie Garwood who put such a different twist on the plot that it makes the book worth listening to and enjoy. With that said, if the narrator is over-dramatic, making the female voice shake everytime she uses the word, "love", it takes away from the book.

So through a lot of the book I found myself rolling my eyes.

great depth in the storyline

I love the characters. Heath is amazing. I did laugh a little at the reading as the characters started to sound slightly irish towards the end of the book but it was a good performance. The depth of the story was great.

Passionate Love Story

Tristan is a ship captain and a contradiction. He's a Lord but eschews the title; he is educated but dresses almost like a ruffian and he appears insouciant yet is incredibly aware of all his surroundings. Tristan is a wanderer having been forced to sea at a young age. He is a restless soul.

He meets heroine, Lady Anne in a London tavern and he is attracted to her right away. She wants him to take her to her fiancé who left her four years earlier to fight in the Crimea. He declines her offer making her angry and she storms out.

Anne is determined to make her journey for many reasons and she is also determined to do things her way. Eventually Tristan agrees to transport her and they have a very interesting voyage. Anne almost bristles when she confronts Tristan and he enjoys their encounters but as the ship sails toward the Mediterranean these two drop their masks. Anne has been melancholy and guilt ridden, she needs to forgive herself and move on with her life. Tristan is scarred horribly from being separated from his brothers and losing his father, he is terrified of loving again.

Both characters try very hard to keep their hearts protected but soon they find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other. Both try to dismiss their feelings yet they just can't seem to let each other go. There are moments in this story which resonate with true heartache for the past and even for the present. Anne wants a family and Tristan wants freedom, they are at odds with each other over their futures yet neither wants to forgo seeing the other. This is a passionate couple, really demonstrative and many times they support each other in difficult circumstances. This is a truly romantic and memorable tale

Fun to listen too !

Where does Lord of Temptation rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It was better than some that I have listened too.

Would you be willing to try another book from Lorraine Heath? Why or why not?

yes

What about Faye Adele’s performance did you like?

Her accent was fun to listen too and she has a soothing voice.

Loved it

This book broke my heart and put it back together. The narrator’s voice worked well for this story. I am half way through the 3rd book and each book is better than the last.

Too much time

Spent too much time on the back and forth with Tristan and Ann. Kind of boring.
