Review:
A Taste of Sin is the first book within the Sin Trilogy.
Lady Christy Macdonald, heiress of the Macdonald Clan, and
Lord St.John Thorton are married at very young age – a decision made by the
king. Christy is a wild seven year old and St.John, who goes by Sinjun/Lord
Sin, was fourteen.
Years pass without the two setting eyes on one another,
which works perfectly. Lady Christy isn’t interested in a meddling husband and
Lord Sin enjoys being married in name only – he can take as many lovers as he
like without the risk of any permanent attachment or demands. So, yep, all is good until Christy’s Clan
grows restless with the taxes imposed on them by their absent lord and want her
to annual the divorce on the grounds that is was never consummated. Christy hatches
a plan to seduce her husband legitimize their marriage and, if Fate allows,
provide her with an heir all while keeping her true identity a secret.
Lord Sin lives up to his name and doesn’t think twice about
taking Christy for his mistress. They agree to be together for three months and
then she will return home to her ailing husband. Well, neither expected to fall
in love.
A Taste of Sin is a traditional historical romance written
in an original bodice ripper style. There are definitely times when Lord Sin is
just an ass and times when Christy is plain stupid, but the book is very
entertaining. The character development is there and the plot twists are nice. I would recommend this book to historical
romance lovers. Connie Mason is a
wonderful author.
