Helpful Score: 1
I read the ARC to review and gave it 5 stars, and I'm stingy with that rating. Very emotional and steamy, with plenty of plot and angst to keep it moving. Not a sickeningly happy ending either, but a satisfying and realistic one.
This was my second book by Sylvia Day, the first being "Pride and Pleasure", which I enjoyed, but liked "Seven Years to Sin" better. The characters are more engaging and the story line flows very smoothly. There is not much detail in the looks of the characters, which Johanna Lindsey does wonderfully, but there is enough to imagine what they look like. The 'love' scenes are spicy. I love historical romance novels. This is a keeper and one I'll read again.
I enjoyed the book.
