Lady of Sin [Hunter]

Book: Lady of Sin
Author: Madeline Hunter
Reason for Reading: for fun
Genre: Romance - Historical
Summary: (from amazon.com) She arrives at his home without warning or invitation, determined to win him to her campaign to reform womens rights. Instead, Charlotte, the widowed Baroness Mardenford, ends up being nearly seduced by Nathaniel Knightridge. No woman is safe from the mesmerizing sensual power of the famed courtroom advocate, and Charlotte discovers she is no exception. But does he recognize her as the masked woman who recklessly joined him in forbidden passion a month ago? And how to avoid becoming his Lady of Sin when he decides to pursue her again?

Christine's Review: Let's be honest-few of us read romance novels for the great writing, intricate plot twists or deep character development. We read them for the romance and (almost always) happy endings. They are 'feel good' reads and it has been awhile since I read one.

I really enjoyed this book-the title characters were likable and there was enough of a plot (beyond the romance) that kept me interested all the way through the book. The love scenes weren't over the top or too explicit (so this can appeal to a wide range of readers) and the relationship between the main characters was believable.

Overall, if you are looking for a quick, fun, sensual love story, this is a good bet.
