The Art of Temptation: Regency Chase Family Series Book 3 (Chase Family Series: The Regency) Paperback – November 27, 2012

The love story of two Chase family members. Corinna want her art work to be shown in the Summer Art Exhibit. Sean is force to pretend to be his brother-in-law, so he will divorce his sister. Sean meet Corinna think he is John but tell he not. Sean pretend to be Lord Lincolnshir's nephew because he dying. Rachel learns that she is not a Chase, can that change her life? Will Sean win the divorce for his sister? Great story.

I love this hero from Ireland, Sean Delaney, a vicar's son, lucky enough to inherit a large amount of money from a relative to be able to build an empire of real estate and businesses in London and achieves his goal within 10 years. Now, if only his womanizing, reclusive oil painter brother in-law, John Hamilton, who married his younger sister and left her after losing their child would grant her a divorce, he would be happy. His sister wants to be happy and marry the man she loves. But John will grant the divorce only if Sean agrees to take his place and pretend as the nephew to his estranged uncle, the Earl of Lincolnshire (He is dying and wants to spend his last days with him to get to know him). If he declines, John only inherits the home with some entailed property and the bulk of the estate will go to charity. Blackmailed, Sean has no choice but to agree for his sister's sake. He wants her to be wedded properly after the divorce. Corinna Chase dreams of getting her portrait painting in the Summer Exhibition in London to help her gain entrance to the Royal Academy of Art. She is not interested in marriage that her brother Griffin, the Marquess, is pushing to do after successfully getting her two sisters married. In a happenstance, she meets Sean and John at the Art Museum and thinks Sean as her "Greek God". The ruse snags a problem as Sean knows nothing about art and painting. After confiding his secret to Corinna, she offers to help him, offers to paint a portrait of the Earl and in the process they fall in love. This is a love story you don't want to miss. This story is full of activities, lots of characters and a surprise puzzle concerning Rachael, Griffin's object of affection. I suggest you read books 1 & 2 in this series before reading this book to follow the Chase family because of all the multiple characters, it's hard to know who's who if you don't. Happy reading! 😊👍

I like "The Art of Temptation" the 3rd and last of the Chase sisters trilogy. Corinna story was good but not as good as bks 1 &2 her sisters stories. I think I had problems with the story line switching back and forth from Corinna's romance with Sean Delaney and her brother Lord Griffins romance with Rachel. Griffin and Rachel are featured in bks 1 & 2 so you have a pretty good idea of whats going to happen between them. Their wasn't a lot hot romance either. But over all I loved how Rachael's storyline was resolved. I didn't figure it out and I didn't see the plot coming until it was upon. I loved how her real parentage was resolved. It couldn't have been better. Back to Sean he is being black mailed by is brother in law an artist John Hamilton. If Sean doesn't go along with pretending to be him and taking care of his elderly uncle who his dying the Earl Of Lincolnshire; John won't give Deirdre his wife and Sean's sister a much need divorce. John was a true low life and he did get his comeuppance but it should have been harsher. It was nothing the Lord Lincolnshire could do to stop John from inheriting the title. It was the law but he should not have offer half of his untitled estates and money for him to divorce Deirdre This was just a slap on the hand. John was disgraced but it concluded to quickly. I wanted to see him disgraced. I was hoping for away that John wouldn't get the title. I was hoping the unknown uncle who Sean inherit 10,000 pounds from years before.,was really the Earl an he would inherit the title. Leaving John with nothing. I am sorry to see an end to the "Regency Chase Family series". I Highly Recommend you read all 3 books.

I made a fundamental mistake with this author because I read the first two books in this trilogy and loved them. I then went back and bought the Flower trilogy, which I truly loathed and it put me off this author. Eventually I finished that series after 1 year and decided to read this last book I had by this author in my TBR folder. I'd forgotten how much I loved this series and I loved this book too. It tells a good story and gives us 2 romances in one. We have the last of the Chase sister's as our h, who is an artist. She meets up with the H, an Irishman, who goes on to impersonate his awful brother-in-law. It's quite a tangled story but it all works out in the end. The second romance is that of Griffin, the only male Chase, who is a Marquess. Through the trilogy we saw his story being told more slowly. He was helping his 'cousin' find out who her real father was. That story is finished in this book.Overall it was a lovely book with everything about the period being respected, which meant no sex before marriage. There were love scenes but they weren't unnecessarily graphic and didn't go on for pages and pages. This was one of my main issues with the Flower trilogy, where it was way too modern to be historical. Here in this book our Hs were honourable and respectful. This also means that I have now decided that I will read more by this author in the future.

Very enthralling and the plot gets interesting by the minute. Love the characters and their passion for various pursuits. Good family values and joy to read.

I was very disappointed with the way the story was written. Modern language, too many contemplative discriptions of what the characters were thinking, luck of entertaining dialogues. And the cliches?.

Good read

I read this as a follow up to the first two books in the temptation series and is a must to see what happens to every one in the books

Like all of Lauren Royals books it was very enjoyable from start to finish and I will be reading it again
