“Pretty Woman” meets “My Fair Lady” in Hope Tarr’s Tempting

Set in Victorian England, TEMPTING is the story of aspiring Member of Parliament, Simon Belleville, and Christine Tremayne, a former dairymaid whom dire circumstances have landed in the attic of a Covent Garden brothel…..

A review…“The opening scene of Tempting, which takes place in 1848, introduces us to a young and impoverished Simon Belleville, who is trying to defend his sister from an attack on a London dock. We next meet him 19 years later, but the psychological trauma of that earlier night has obviously affected his entire life since that point. He has made a name and fortune for himself, and now serves as the head of Her Majesty’s Morality and Vice Commission and plans to run for a seat in Parliament.

He is in the process of shutting down brothels when he comes across a young woman locked into the attic of one of the houses of ill repute. He is unable to let her go to prison with the other prostitutes, and arranges for her to enter the Mayfair Academy for Young Ladies.

Simon and Christine find themselves attracted to one other, but they have incredible barriers to hurdle.
The story is imaginative with well-developed characters and more historical details than many historical romances, but I found Simon’s and Christine’s relationship to be lacking in electricity until near the end.”

I found a copy of this audiobook years ago on the original Demonoid and can find no trace of the original download among my files. WorldCat lists no existing copy. Used book sites list no copy. The author’s website doesn’t mention it. The publisher is out of business. The audio fell off the face of the earth. My original edit is not the best but is the only one I have.
