Book four in the Sinful Suitors brings us Niall and Brilliana "Bree"'s story, and it is a bit heartbreaking at first. They are already in love, young and in love, and Niall has just fought a duel and killed the man who raped his sister (who we met in The Study of Seduction). He asks Bree to run off with him to Spain but she can't because of her sickly mother. He is skeptical of her reasons, he doesn't understand why she won't leave with him if she loves him. She worries about his true intentions for he has yet to speak to her parents or introduce her to his, their courtship has been secret, as she worries whether he has any intentions of actually marrying her. Seven years later, Niall has received a pardon and has returned home, bitter and cynical for he believes Bree never truly loved him. Within a year of his departure, she marries another man, who is now dead. She believes that he fought the duel over a light-skirt and indeed didn't truly love her. They are both cautious to trust the other but when they are partnered up to catch a counterfeiter it is hard to keep their hands off the other, especially as the secrets they both have are revealed to show that they did, in fact, love the other and still do. It was an enjoyable story. I do think that Bree took a bit too long to trust Niall again because seven years is a long time to hold on to the possibility that he had a mistress when he was courting her. He goes out of his way (other than share the real reason for the duel) to prove to Bree that his love is real and that he stills wants her for a wife. I liked that they did, in the end, get their happy ending and the passion between the two of them was steamy. Her Aunt was a great character and I loved it whenever she was on the page giving Niall hell and in the end helping him protect Bree from the counterfeiter. In the end, this was another enjoyable story by Sabrina Jeffries.

Another story by this author that will not disappoint. I find her work truly amazing at times. She has such a descriptive way of writing that is so entertaining. Each of her books has so many different elements, rather they would be mystery and passion and romance, or witty and just passionate with complex characters. In this particular story again, I was captivated by her writing and loved each page I read. I have sometimes a hard time with sex scenes so perhaps I skip over them if I find them to involved, but the book is a good read! One that is to be enjoyed and a good one to take along when traveling. I was given this book in return for an honest review. Anna

Another great book by Sabrina Jeffries. Just the right amount of intrigue and passion.

Unusual late regency (1830-31) with reunited lovers, treason and counterfeiting and secrets that don't come off as dumb lack of communication between the principals.

I have never read a bad book by the author and this was no exception. Misunderstandings ,lies and plenty of secrets have separated and then kept apart Niall and Brilliana..Meeting again they find that their passion and love is far stronger than the forces that have conspired against them.

Amazing as usual! Such a great series, and the couple Brilliana and Niall are great together!
