Sin

OMG...sex, sex, and more sex on other page. Not just sex, but hot, saucy,jump off the page sex scenes. This was a fast read. I read this in one setting because I couldn't put it down. If you don't like romance books with cover to cover sex, then this is not the book for you. It also has a pretty good plot. I enjoyed how SP created the hero's (Marcus) character. He is already a reformed rake when the heroine (Venetia) meets him. Even though it was an erotic love story the hero is so caring and warm. The heroine is an innocent....However, she is not shy but willing to try everything forbidden. Some of the intimacy she initiates on her own. (my kind of heroine). They were made each other. I mean the heat and passion/lust and eventaully love between the hero and heroine is awesome. I really enjoyed this story. If you like it oh so hot...then this is the book for you.

Venetia Hamilton would have never guessed how great the impact of her changes in her father's erotic drawings would be. Suddenly the hero of the erotic art books is the spitting image of Marcus Wyndham, Earl of Trent. When he confronts her with this fact and the fact that he knows that she is the artist behind the latest successful publication, she learns that not only her future depends on the powerful Earl but also that she is very attracted to him. This is something new for a lady who has never experienced desire before. The rake and the innocent, what will the future bring for them? Sin is one of the hottest erotic romances that this reviewer has ever read! Ms. Page wrote a really terrific novel. The reader will discover the darker and much more sinful side of the Regency world of the Ton. Sin is definitely not a book for the faint-hearted, because nothing is left for the reader's imagination. During the orgy that the hero and heroine visit, the reader will encounter M/M, F/F, Ménages and BDSM scenes. Like this reviewer said, the book is steamy hot. It will keep you captivated from the first moment onward and you won't be able to stop reading, you won't get enough of this book. Ms. Page created with Venetia and Marcus some interesting characters. They are bound together not only by Venetia's erotic drawings but also through the fact that they are both being blackmailed by the same person. Both of them will do anything to save their loved ones and to keep their secrets secure. Marcus is not your typical rake, because he has some morals. He carries a lot of problems with him, because of the past of his father. He tries to keep his emotions separate from his doings, but he meets his match with Venetia. She turns his whole life upside down. Although Venetia draws erotic sketches, she is an absolute innocent, but a really curious one. Her curiosity and strong-willed mind nearly drives Marcus crazy. The sexual tension between them is almost tangible. Now add a murder mystery to the developing relationship between those two and the story becomes even more interesting. Sin is a real keeper and you will want to keep an eye open for more books by Sharon Page! Courtesy of Loveromancesandmore

Venetia Hamilton is the largely unknown, oldest illegitimate daughter of famed erotic artist Rodesson. When Rodesson's arthritic hands prevent him from painting, Venetia secretly produces his scandalous works. If her father could abstain from gambling and other wicked pursuits, she could easily earn enough to keep her younger sisters respectable. When Marcus Wyndham, the Earl of Trent, unexpectedly appears at her door, Venetia quickly realizes that one of her father's main characters is based on him. Unfortunately, her renderings have made the caricature more realistic than her father's version. Marcus, who doesn't need all of London talking about his licentious ways, informs Venetia that her father's gambling debts have been settled, and her sordid career is over. Although she isn't happy about this, there is little she can do. After Lydia, her father's mistress, threatens to reveal her secret, Venetia, now without a steady income, believes she can reason with the woman. There's just one problem; Lydia is off to a weekend orgy in the country. Of course, the seductive Earl of Trent, a fixture in her private art and thoughts, could escort Venetia to the infamous party. Against his better judgment, Marcus agrees. Who else will protect the willful and innocent woman? Venetia, however, isn't the only one being blackmailed. Lydia seems to have something on everyone attending the party, including Marcus. In the midst of debauchery, intrigue, and danger, can Marcus protect Venetia...even from himself? Combining breathtaking sensual abandon and a clever story, Sharon Page's Sin was a joy to read! Ms. Page deftly balances romance, mystery, and explicit sexuality. Often in erotic romance, the rocket hot passion comes at the expense of the story. Not so with Sin. The intriguing whodunit kept me guessing, while Venetia and Marcus left me panting for more. Marus was simply delicious. He is wicked, but he truly cares about Venetia. Venetia was a bit of a contradiction, ready to experience everything, but with no real idea what she's asking. At times her inexperience and stubbornness unnecessarily caused problems, but I thought her character worked well within the story. The orgy scenes were elegantly portrayed, overflowing with indulgent, deviant delights. Normally, orgies leave me cold, but I loved the juxtaposition of the lewd but tantalizing bacchanal and the beauty of Marcus and Venetia's evolving relationship. I was utterly captivated by the lush and vivid story. I simply couldn't put it down. Sin is the complete package: a scorching hot historical romance with an engrossing mystery. I Joyfully Recommend Sin! Cheryl Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
