I enjoyed this book, let's hear from others!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Eden Passion (Hardcover)
My only regret is that I didn't start with the first book in the series. I picked this up because I had nothing else to read, and I ended up not being able to put it down! I've seen these around for years, but have never picked them up until now. The plot moves and you care about the characters. Sure, it's a little melodramatic and I had some problems with John having Lila "stashed away" in the country and Dhari as a mistress, it just didn't reconcile with his character but I guess it was the times, and this is good escapist fiction otherwise. Let's hear from others about this and other books in the series.

Questions about the Eden Series,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eden Passion (Mass Market Paperback)
I found the first book "This Other Eden" on a counter and began to read it and also could NOT put it down. I have since tried to collect each book of the series. I own 5 of the series, but, I am perplexed : Is this book, "The Eden Passion", the SAME book in the series as book number 3, "Passion of Eden" ? (I own this) Or is this a new book to add to the end of the series? I'll need to buy this one too! I can't imagine Ms. Harris naming two titles two similar words. Can anyone answer this? How many books ARE there in this complete series? I have to have them all ! Thanks. Please respond to: cathypat50@yahoo.com

A drop off in the last half, but necessary for the story building,

This review is from: The Eden Passion (Mass Market Paperback)
John Murrey Eden brings his father's body back to Eden Castle for burial, and he plans on staying put and making the castle his home - and to prove it he marches right off to his father's old room (never been to the castle before, but he knows exactly where in the labyrinth he needs to go). Not everyone at Eden Castle is ready to accept John as Edward's son, and he's quickly shuffled off to work in the lowest form of employment possible, that is until he's rescued and restored to the bosom of most of the Edens by Lady Harriet, John's...ummm....aunt by marriage I guess is the right title.Now here's the deal. Unless you've already read books one and two, I just can't even go hinting on what's going to happen. Those who have read the first two probably have a damned good inkling what happens next but whatever you think it is, the aftermath when you-know-what comes out will forever change the lives of everyone at Eden Castle. I have the most incredibly awesome quote from this scene I'd love to share, but it just might spoil things too much. You will just have to read it for yourself to find out. John leaves Eden and returns to London to begin a new life, albeit a very poor one at first. His travels take him to the Crimea and then India, and finally back to London where a discovery in his father's old trunk sends him on a new path. The first half of this book is just as awesome as the last two were, but a good portion of the latter half really dragged off, it felt like much of what happened were just events to set up for the next books in the series John loses a great friend at the Crimea, he gets a mistress in India, brings them all back to London and then the set up to the return to a crumbling Eden Castle and... Gawd, I just can't tell you but be darned sure you have book #4, The Women of Eden waiting the very second you finish the last page of this one. The series, This Other Eden The Prince of Eden The Eden Passion The Women of Eden Eden Rising American Eden Eden and Honor
