Summary: A Light and Sweet Romance !
Review: "Sarah's Sin" is a wonderful love story between two people from two different worlds.

Sarah Troyer is Amish, but she's considered a rebel to her people because her thinking and ways contradict the Amish standards. Sarah's thinking and ways are too liberal and free because she yearns to learn and know more. Sarah agreed to look over her friend's brother who was hurt in this accident. But it may be a mistake because she's deeply attracted to Matt and that's not suppose to happen.

Matt Thorne was hurt in an accident and now he's in the country, resting. He's surprised when he wakes up and finds Sarah at his bedside. Matt is a known player and he likes Sarah because she's pretty, sweet and innocent. But as he spends more time with her, Matt discovers a sort of peace he has never known before, even if Sarah does make him aroused.

It all boils down to their differences. Matt is from the city and is liberal, while Sarah is from the country and is imprisoned by her Amish standards. But if Sarah was to follow Matt, she would have to give up her family. Would Sarah love Matt enough to trust Matt with her future and would Matt show her the world outside of her Amish world?

I like this book because it's sweet and romantic. The time Matt and Sarah spent with each other seems so magical. I liked the part when there were a few things that tested their love for each other and when they depended on each other to accomplish some obstacles. A good and light romance to read but it makes people wonder about the Amish ways.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A nice & simple love story
Review: Although I only enjoyed reading some of Tami's mystery novels,I've learnt to appreciate her romantic novel as well.Its touching & it has a classic ending,the one that is predictable.But nevertheless,its all together a heart warming story.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fast and enjoyable read
Review: I first discovered Ms. Hoag by reading her more recent mystery books. I never cared much for Romance novels, but gave her books a try and find that I like them. I enjoy her using cajun and Amish cultures as a backdrop. Sarah's Sin was easy reading and very pleasant.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: reader review
Review: I gave this book only 4 stars b/c it's too short! I wish it was a couple hundred pages longer, but I'm not really complaining. I'd read most of Tami Hoag's later books, after she'd transitioned from romance into crime thriller, and knew that I needed to read everything she's ever written. I'm not above admitting I enjoy a romance every now and then, provided it's written tastefully and masterfully--and Ms. Hoag delivers. Her characters are witty, believable and stick in your mind long after you've finished. Sarah's Sin is a nice love story and I had no difficulty mentally mapping everything Ms. Hoag described. A nice, light read for a summer day (even though I read it in the middle of a wintry spring...).

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: It's a love story !
Review: I have enjoyed all of Tami Hoag's murder/suspense novels. Sarah's Sin from 1992 was figured to be a romance novel from the title, and sure enough it was. While it didn't seem like Tami Hoag, or at least the one I had grown to look forward to, it was a sweet story about a cocky ER doctor from Minneapolis who had been wounded in a gun fight and ends up recuperating in a small town in Minnesota nearl an Armish settlement. A young Amish widow is working at the bread and breakfast run by the doctor's sister and is assigned the job of taking care of him as he recovers his strength. Of course the two of them are attracted to each other. Having grown up with the Armish of Central Illinois, I found Sarah's character believable and true to the Armish culture. The story is about Sarah's longing to leave her "plain" life and accept her love and move on to the world at large with all its opportunities and challenges. It's a fast read and a sweet story. The sex is a little idealistic, but it's good fuel for a night of fantasy. Stick it in your beach bag and enjoy.

Summary: A very cute story
Review: I liked the premise of the book as presented on the back cover, and so I bought a copy. It was a very nice story, the kind that makes you feel warm and gushy inside. I like male characters that have hearts, and this one did. I wish it weren't such a short story though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!
Review: I loved this book! A brief affair between two people who find that love isn't always easy but wins out in the end! My copy must be an earlier edition; there's a picture of them on the cover instead of a flower

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I'M GLAD SHE CHANGED HER STYLE
Review: I read "Cry Wolf", "Guilty as Sin", "Night Sins" and "Thin Dark Line" before I read this one and I'm sure glad Tami found mysteries to write about. I'm not a lover of romance novels and didn't even finish this book. I guess I expected this book to be the same as the others. Not so!
