Further Than Passion 
asked by astrofizzy on November 17, 2006 6:27 PM
Kate Duncan agrees to help her young cousin land a husband though she draws the line when she learns the foolish girl wants to use an apothecary's love potion to snag the notorious Marcus Pelham! To prove the elixir a fake, Kate drinks it herself-and experiences the most erotic moment of her life when she stumbles upon Marcus in a most compromising position. Every nerve in Kate's body sings as she watches from the shadows, but is her response a result of the potion....or the man? Luckily, Marcus is far too busy to notice Kate's spying-or so she thinks.... As the Earl of Stamford, Marcus has his choice of willing ladies to share his bed. Yet nothing has ever aroused him as much as the image of Kate watching him. Marcus tries to have a little fun with Kate by drinking the elixir-and then appearing to lose all control every time she's near. But the prank goes awry when Marcus finds himself wildly and truly attracted to the innocent Kate. As he teaches her the passionate art of seduction, will he lose his heart for the very first time?

This was one of the few books that I almost stopped reading. The plot was transparent and the characters unlikeable. The heroine was dull and whiney; the hero was a self-absorbed jerk. "Oh, no one will ever love me because I'm so horrible; I'll just act more horribly because of it." Marcus admired Kate for being fiery, when she actually was a spineless wimp. My first Cheryl Holt book, and probably my last. If you need to read it, try the library first.

After reading other reviews of this book I was expecting it to be a good read. It's not. The characters were dreadful, the dialog was stilted and unbelievable, and the plot so thin as to be almost non-existent. As I read the first chapter, I knew this was a loser, but I read on until the end convinced that it had to get better. It didn't. Spend your money on a better book.
