A Touch of Sin (St. John-Duras)

As a newcomer to Susan Johnson's work, I was delighted to discover her less-than-usual approach to the romance genre. In A Touch of Sin, the heroine is no virgin - sexy and beautiful, Trixi is a willing participant in the book's steamy scenes of sex and love. The hero, Pasha, is one of the best male characters I've ever encountered. He's handsome, sensual, charming and physically appealing. What a combination! I also enjoyed the historical setting and the fact that Johnson included pages of footnotes to give credibility and background to her love story. Overall, a great read - I'm now searching for all the Susan Johnson I can find!

Wow, what a great read!! I am hooked on Susan Johnson. Her historical references add credibility to her novels. I picked up this book, along with several that were written by other authors, while I was at home on extended sick leave. The cover of the book caught my eye, and I subsequently read it in one day. It was a pleasure to read about the history of Greece; I am of Greek descent and have heard stories of the very battles Ms. Johnson describes in the book. This was truly exceptional.

I'll admit it, I love everything Susan Johnson writes. The heroes are heroic - in bed and out! - and the heroines are never shrinking violets. This book did not disappoint me. I can hardly wait for her next!

I have read several of Susan Johnson Novels and this has to be the best one yet. I was furious when it ended. I wanted it to continue. The charactors were so real that I could hear them in my mind. I watched the entire book go through my mind like it was like sitting in a movie and it was wonderful.

Susan Johnson, renowned for her erotic historical romances (see OUTLAW and TABOO), adds luster to her deserved fame with her latest torrid tale, A TOUCH OF SIN. The story line is trademark Johnson, filled with heat, more heat, ultra heat, and laser heat in an exotic locale. The lead characters burn the pages, while the support cast adds the authenticity of the period to the plot. Though winter may still be in the air when this book is released, readers will be able to save on heating oil with this rousing romance.Harriet Klausner
