Erotic Historical Romance

London, England– the Past

They are called the Rakehells of Rochester because of their notorious prowess in the bedroom.  Devilishly handsome brothers Sinjin, Victor and Rory are used to having anyone they want whenever they want.   However, their days of mischief are numbered after their parents issue an ultimatum.  Each of the brothers must marry within four months or lose everything!

Sinjin, the eldest of the trio, is expected to marry first.  Mature and sensual, Sinjin commands the attention of women wherever he goes.  Sinjin has no desire to marry and doesn’t believe he can ever be faithful to one woman.

Katelyn Davenport doesn’t know how her life can get any worse.  In exchange for paying off her father’s debts, Katelyn will be forced to marry the much older and hateful Lord Balliford.  Katelyn’s last excursion as a single lady is accompanying her sister Marilyn to a house party as her chaperone.  Katelyn never imagined that she would fall for Sinjin Rayborne once she got there.

In a room full of women vying for his attention, Sinjin’s eye is immediately drawn to Katelyn.  He knows that Katelyn is penniless and engaged, but Sinjin doesn’t let those small factors deter him.   A testament to the Viscount’s finesse, Sinjin has Katelyn on her back within ten minutes flat!

Sexy, Seductive and Suave are excellent descriptions of SINJIN.  He is the epitome of sex appeal with his strong, hard, muscular body and handsome countenance.  Katelyn is a graceful, curvaceous woman unaware of her desirability.   An untried virgin, Katelyn doesn’t stand a chance when Sinjin turns up the heat!  But, when she finally succumbs to her desires, readers will be in for a great treat!   Perfectly matched, Sinjin and Katelyn’s secret rendezvous are incredibly arousing.  Readers will quickly wish they were in Katelyn’s shoes.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading SINJIN and couldn’t put the book down.  SINJIN is such an entertaining and easy read that I finished it in one day.  I honestly couldn’t get enough Sinjin; that amazing man made me blush on numerous occasions! The characterization is wonderful and the setting is well depicted and believable.  Not to be outdone, Sinjin’s brothers are prominent secondary characters.  It seems that Victor’s story will be released in April 2010 and I will definitely be on the lookout for that one.  Victor, who seems to hide behind his seductive ways, is quite intriguing.  Katelyn’s fiancé, Lord Balliford, also makes a grand appearance and readers will quickly understand why she is loath to marry him.

Although SINJIN is dubbed an erotic tale, sex takes a back seat to the growing relationship between Sinjin and Katelyn.  Don’t get me wrong, there is quite a bit of great sex in many different forms.  However, the attraction and desire between Sinjin and Katelyn is the star of the show.  Highly recommended, SINJIN is sure to be deemed a favorite among readers and is quite deserving of a La Grande Mort, the highest honor awarded by RRTE.
