Coffee Time Romance
Reviewer: Wateena
Rating: 4 Cups
An excellent historical tale filled with plenty of secrets and hidden
desires. Ms. Pearce certainly spiced things up with the second twin,
Gideon, and made this story even more interesting with Gideon’s own
sad personal tale. Plenty of action and erotic romance to keep you
enthralled to the end. This is definitely a historical lover’s delight.

EDEN’S PLEASURE would be erotica at its finest except that it is, in fact,
erotic romance. Eden’s exploits reminded me of Robin Schone’s work,
but with a less distant, controlled feel to the sexuality. EDEN’S
PLEASURE would’ve been a perfect erotic romance had it been more
elaborate when it came to Eden and Gervase’s relationship. While there
were obvious, deftly written signs as to why they felt so intensely about
each other, it still seemed a case of lust over love. Ms. Pearce is fully
capable of producing work that will top this excellent story. The writing
itself was finely tuned, giving the story a rich Regency feel, while the
erotic elements were intense and exciting. Eden was a fully fleshed-out
and incredibly practical character. There were no temper tantrums or
grandiose schemes from this heroine. She understood her options
altogether too well. Eden and Gervase’s shared intimacy had had both
sensual sparks and emotional depth suited to the situations and the
overall story arc. EDEN’S PLEASURE is an exceptional erotic romance
destined for another read

After eight years in a horrendous marriage, Eden is ready to experience
a little pleasurable freedom. After having been caught in a
compromising situation with Gervase Harcourt, she’s ready to explore
her deepest desires. When Gideon crosses her path to make amends
for his part in her disastrous marriage, he promises to teach her the
joys of passion. But once Gervase enters the picture, the fantasy of
erotic, no strings attached exploration becomes difficult to live with when
faced with the reality of her love for him.
This book truly moved me, making me feel an instant connection to the
characters and leaving me empowered by the story. I really enjoyed the
no-nonsense attitude Eden displays, as well as the compounding
emotional turmoil that the situation creates. Any story that can drain me
emotionally as well as sexually is rare indeed, and Eden’s Pleasure
does both. Gervase has a challenging personality that I can’t help but
feel an attraction to. He knows what he wants and doesn’t fail to take
what he needs. This take-charge attitude is both desirable and
shocking, not to mention devilishly sexy. There isn’t a moment in this
whole novel that I didn’t sense a romantic and loving connection
between the characters. They do things together to showcase their
love, making their joy seem real. But the sex! Cool me down with a cold
shower because these sex scenes are scorching hot. There is a bit of
everything here, from sex toys to voyeurism and even a bit of ménage,
and the story never slows or becomes dull. Overall, I greatly enjoyed
Eden’s Pleasure and will be placing Ms. Pearce on my auto buy list.

As a young woman, Eden was forced into a loveless marriage when she
was found enjoying the sexual charms of twins Gervase and Gideon
Harcourt. Now her husband is dead and she plans to enjoy her freedom
while it lasts by exploring her sexual desires. Falling from her horse, she
comes face-to-face with Gideon Harcourt again. Sorry for being the
reason why she was forced into marriage, Gideon Harcourt promises to
make amends. All Eden wants is to fulfill her sexual fantasies and
Gideon and Gervase Harcourt are going to help her explore her
sexuality. She always loved the twins but is she just a plaything for them?
Gideon and Gervase Harcourt introduce Eden to Madam Desiree's
House of Pleasure. At Madam Desiree's, Eden explores all the forbidden
pleasures available to her. As time passes, Eden finds herself drawn
more to one brother over the other. However, there can be no future for
her with either of them. Their father is determined to make sure she is
removed from their lives forever by making sure she is re-married. She
must come to terms with a future without passion.
Kate Pearce takes Eden on a whirlwind introduction into the sexual
pleasures available to her. She also addresses the repression women
were forced to live under. Gideon and Gervase are sexy individually, but
together these men can ignite an inferno in any woman's body. The
scenes at Madam Desiree's are sizzling. The reader will wonder why the
pages of the book do not burst into flames. I would love to read more
stories where the characters visit this hot pleasure palace. I am looking
forward to reading more of Ms. Pearce's books.

I've never been a fan of historical romances of any kind. Maybe I'm too
‘twenty-first century,' but I could never understand how a woman could
be property: she was 'seen and not heard' until such a time that her
guardians could marry her off to someone of social standing.
That being said, Eden's Pleasure was a wonderful shock to my biased
system. It did put the woman in a position where she doesn't have full
control of her life, but at least she has some say in what happens to her.
As well as with whom it happens!
Eden, after spending her eighteenth summer in sensual entanglements
with the delicious Harcourt twins, is married off to a much older man.
Eight years of hell follow where she is forced to bed her husband in his
last ditch attempt to conceive a legitimate heir before his death.
Widowed and childless at twenty-six, Eden is looking forward to
exploring the side of herself she discovered in the arms of the Harcourt
twins.
As luck would have it, they're looking forward to reliving their memories
with her as well.
Gideon and Gervase Harcourt have always lived in luxury, and now that
they're grown, things haven't changed much. As boys they shared their
maids, taking women together and separately. But their experience with
Eden was different; she made them feel something other than physical
pleasure.
For eight years, Gervase, now a major in England's military, dreams of
being with Eden again. When Gideon tells him that Eden is staying at
his London house, Gervase rushes to claim the woman who refuses to
get out of his head, or his heart.
The past hangs around them like a ghost and the news of Eden's
impending marriage to an as yet unknown suitor shadows their time
together. Old hurts are ripped open while new ones are inflicted. Can
these two headstrong lovers see past their own agendas and find what
is waiting for them or will they be denied yet again?
Ms. Pearce's tale has changed my staunch view of regency romance,
which says a lot. It's a sweet story of two people who, despite their ages,
still haven't grown into what they could be. In the brilliance of their
reunion, they realize just how much they could have together if they let
the past go and grasp the future with both hands.

After being caught in a compromising position with the Harcourt twins,
Gideon and Gervase, Eden was quietly married off to a man old enough
to be her grandfather. Now that he’s dead and she’s out from under the
iron thumb of her stepsister, Eden hopes to find some peace, or barring
that at least some pleasure.
When she is thrown by her horse and Gideon Harcourt finds her, Eden’s
life is about to change again. His brother Gervase has never forgiven
her for running off with a richer man, or so his father tells it. Eden had
spent years in hell all because of these two men; can she forgive them
and give them all a sense of completion?
This was a fascinating look into Regency England that was refreshingly
clean. There have been a number of pulp novels about this time period
that are trashy porn, but this one was amazing. I really enjoyed Ms.
Pearce’s sensitivity in making this book an emotional story as well as
extremely erotic. The different subplots in this tale made it surprisingly
intricate for an eighty-eight page book. If she continues to write with
such talent, I may have to revisit this time period again.

Widowed after eight extremely long years, Eden is finally free to be
herself and indulge in sexual escapades forbidden when married to her
elderly husband. Who does she turn to but the men who were her
downfall eight years ago?
Gideon and Gervaise Harcourt have one weakness and her name is
Eden. Caught in a state of undress eight years ago, they are the reason
she was forced into matrimony with an older man in order to save her
reputation. Now, however, she doesn't care about her reputation. She
wants to explore her sexuality in ways not accepted in polite circles.
Who better to show her than the Harcourt twins?
This is a novel of awakenings for all three main characters. I thought
Eden quite bold, sexy, and brave; especially during this time frame in
history when reputations meant everything. Of the twins, Gervaise is the
one I love the most. He reinforced my view that love can conquer all. His
twin, Gideon, made me shiver with his dark desires and illicitness.
I usually shy away from books written in first person. I am happy to say
that Eden's Pleasure held me hostage from the first moment I picked it
up until I read the very last word. It has all the elements needed to keep
my attention and the sex scenes were extremely well-written. I look
forward to reading more from Ms. Pearce!
