I really disliked this book on the first reading, but decided to give it another try, and it did improve with rereading. Hunter always writes well and her dialogue is especially good, wry and sharp and subtle. But I never felt really engaged by the characters or the plot.

Lady of Sin is the story of one of the characters who briefly appears in Lord of Sin, but they could be read as stand-alone books. Charlotte, the widowed Baroness Mardenford (Lady M) has been going thru the six years since her widowhood in a cocoon resisting most emotions. In this story she gets shaken out of what she thought she wanted in a comfortable life. She & Nathaniel Knightridge have always had a remote adversarial relationship. She asks his assistance because of his oratorical skill

Another sensual winner from Madeline Hunter. Really, really enjoyed how the romance developed. A few really nice scenes with characters from "The Seducers" series (the birth of Dante's child and the wedding of Pen and Julian). The plot was quite good - part Oliver Twist, a bit of the 19'th century women's rights movement in England, part road novel. The plot did have a few holes that were glossed over, however, and the final resolution of the problem with the bad guy didn't quite work

The streak continues. :) Another good story in Hunter's repertoire. I am, again, a big fan of Nathaniel Knightridge (and his name is pretty cool, too). Charlotte isn't too bad herself. Intriguing story (even if justice seems to meander a bit) and I really liked how each character stuck to their guns but yet considered the other person's feelings and situations as well. A quick and fun read. :)

Rounding up from 4.5. I remember reading The Romantic and thinking "it's so obvious that Charlotte and Nathaniel will have their own story-so much chemistry!". Lady of Sin was exactly what I thought the story would look like. Both Charlotte and Nathaniel were excellently written. I was grateful and enjoyed the peak into Dante and Fleur's life from thier story. A very toucing sceene.

I did not finish this book- and I am done with this series. For me, romance novels get very repetitive, and this series had little new stuff to offer me as a reader. I fulfilled my obligation of giving it a try.

This one was a really good one. I just knew that the sparks that Charlotte and Nathanial were throwing off one another was more than just anger. Charlotte doesn't want Nathanal to think too hard about some things as he might discover all her secrets. I loved this book and thought that it was pretty intense. I loved the entire series as a whole. The spinoffs felt incomplete though, because Colin, Adrian's brother didn't get a book and Bride's sisters didn't get their stories. Darn it! 4 Stars of

Historical romance..they dislike each other intensely at first but anyone who has ever read these knows that's about to change. What made this one different was their trying to find out answers to some questions along the road in their affair. Warning - some pretty explicit sex scenes.

Before I read the first paragraph, I knew Charlotte and Nathaniel was the couple at Lyndale's party! lol...
The story was ok...I found some parts vague and confusing...I loved the reference to Julian and Penelope's wedding, and of course, I loved the parts which featured Lyndale in them!

The story of Charlotte, Lady Mardenford and Nathaniel Knightridge is moving, complicated and surprisingly funny. Madeline Hunter doesn't disappoint!

I'm so glad Hunter decided to write Nathaniel's story. I thought he was very intriguing in Lord of Sin, so it was nice to learn more about him.

Love a period heroine who knows what she wants. More later, but suffice to say I went to the local USB and bought out the Madeline Hunter shelf.
