Summary: Don't waste your time!
Review: The Perfect Sinner is perfectly awful. The author spends over 100 pages going on and on what a jerk Max is and what a wimp his wife is. By this point you would wonder why on earth she would ever want him back. The plot is confusing with too many characters to keep track of and lacks emotional depth. I can't believe this got published.

Summary: What a Jerk!
Review: This is my first Penny Jordan book and the only reason that I'll read another one is because I bought two at the same time. Max Crighton doesn't love anyone but himself. He doesn't love his wife, nor his two children, Leo and Emma. He's told his wife, Maddy, several times that the only reason that he married her was because of her money and the connections her family gave him as a lawyer. That all changes in a trip to Jamacia to look for his uncle David. While there, Max is brutally attacked and 'sees the light' where his wife and children are concerned. He even sees everything that is wrong with his relationship with his parents. Maddy Crighton has her love for her children to sustain her. When Max leaves to Jamacia, she realizes that she never loved the person that Max truly was, just the illusion of him. When he comes back 'different' Maddy is unsure of whether to trust this extrodinary change that she sees in Max. It's true that he seems to really love his children, but Maddy isn't sure that she can risk her heart again, no matter how much he is changed. The Perfect Sinner is a totally unrealistic book. Not even really a romance novel, these characters make me want to scream. No one as abusive and cruel as Max can 'reform' as quickly as he did and all of a sudden decide that he's loved his wife all along but didn't want to admit it. Even if he did love her, no one that loves someone treats them like Max treated Maddy. I could understand why Maddy stayed married to him, but I think that it took her way to long to get a backbone. Overall, I was very dissapointed with this book.
