This story started out good but once it got in to all the dialogue between the servants it became boring. It was like the servants were main characters with a lot of focus on them, and they were supposed to be humorous. I found the focus on them to be repititious and boring. Story was good when it focused on Annaliza and Sin. At one point, Anna is raped. The author gives a detailed account of this rape, and then it is never addressed again. Strange! As if Anna was not effected by being raped. This author has done better than this book indicates.

Lord Jonathan Sinclair was the most handsome and most nortoriously sexual lord in eighteenth century England. Annaliza Sedgewick was a lovely, unspoiled young woman from the untamed cliffs of Cornwall..."Their first meeting exploded in violence, as Annaliza learned the power of lust within her, and Sinclair for the first time felt the seductive stirrings of love. Annaliza fought against her own desire by leaguing herself with a man sworn to destroy her conqueror. Sinclair sought to mock his heart's hunger with orgies of the flesh. And both were swept up in a mounting whirlwind of intrigue and passion that seemed certain to tear them apart before it could make them one..." A truly excellent novel. Lord Sin is superbly written as eloquent language/dialogue is employed by the author throughout the novel. A must read for true lovers of romance literature. It was first printed in 1980 and is currently out of print. Buy it now, before it is too late.
