Summary: Wonderful but too long......
Review: Another wonderful book by Susan Johnson albeit too long. I love Susan Johnson characters. This is the second book of hers I've read and enjoyed it. Chelsea and Sinjin were wonderful characters and lovers. You simply couldn't go wrong unless you made the book too long.Great Story, Great Characters, Lots of Romance and Sex but once the book went to Naples it went on too long.

Summary: A Sinful Read!
Review: As an addicted reader, it's not often that I find a book so totally out of the ordinary. This was my first Susan Johnson novel but won't be my last. I can't think of a dull spot in the entire story. Yes, indeed it was erotic but I did not find it offensive in any way. Just a page turner from the very beginning. Sinjin and Chelsea were so in love it brought back all of the feelings of falling in love all over again. Something we should be reminded of often in our everyday existance. I fervently hope that Ms. Johnson will grace us with many more novels. She has a wonderful wit and imagination.

Summary: AWESOMLY GREAT SEX & ADVENTURE
Review: CHELSEA AND SIJIN ARE WONDERFUL TOGETHER. THEY NOT ONLY TOOK MY HEART AWAY WITH THEM, I FELT LIKE I WAS THERE EXPERIENCING EVERY EROTIC SCENE. CHELSEA FINDS HERSELF DEPSPERATE AND SEEKS SOMEONE WITH THE EXPERIECE TO FULLFULL HER WISH. (TO HAVE HER VIRGINITY TAKEN TO AVOID MARRIAGE) SINGIN FULFILLS HER WISH AND MUCH, MUCH MORE ! THIS WAS MY FRIST SUSAN JOHNSON BOOK AND I WOULD DEFINITLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK (SINFUL).

Summary: Sinfully bad
Review: I bought this book expecting a great read. The cover at least made it sound good. The first part was promising too! Then it got wierd. Once Sinjun and Chelsea had a falling out, he turned so cold that I stopped liking him at all. I agree with the 1st reviewer too, the bad part went on far too long.
Then suddenly there is all of this kidnapping/harem/blind stud/exhibitionsitic/misogynistict stuff that completely disrupts the flow of the book. She begins introducing new characters quickly in the last 50 pages and it becomes some wierd history piece about fueding impotent Arabs etc. As a "Regency" reader, I totally lost interest at this part as it turned into an action/adventure bodice ripper.
The author seems to lose her track somewhere along the way and lost me as well.

Summary: Avoid this book
Review: I did not like characters in this book. Sinjun was a sleazy himbo and the whole harem thing did not work for me. The plot of the book has many faults. For example, Sinjun is captured by her family and escapes, but they never come after him or the daughter. Why? It makes no sense. Another character makes threats on Chealsea, but there is no intense conflict which would have been developed. The book has footnotes in it, which I find annoying. This is not a college project to write a book. Any historical comments need to be in the story and not footnotes. If I want english history, I'll buy english history - not a romance novel.

Summary: Yuck!
Review: I have read several of Susan Johhson's novels and have enjoyed most of them throughly. I was very disappointed and had trouble finishing Sinful. The alpha male character was just disgusting. His treatment of the heroine and his perverted sexual appetites were very distasteful. Perhaps the book would have been more palatable to me if the character of Sinjin had any redeeming qualities, but I couldn't for the life of me believe that anyone as self absorbed and hedonistic as he could possibly love anyone else. Ms. Johnson wrote a sequel to this book, Wicked, about Sinjin's son Beau. He is even more sickening than his father. I would advise not bothering to read Sinful or Wicked, and instead trying any of Ms. Johnson's other books. Hopefully, you won't be left with a bad taste in your mouth.

Summary: Absolutely romantic.

Summary: Good Book - Good Characters
Review: I just finished "Sinful" and I must say, I enjoyed reading the book albeit with some frustrations. First off, the story and the characters were wonderful. I absolutely loved the beautiful Chelsea, who was her own woman, and the sinfully handsome Sinjin, particularly when he wasn't arguing with himself over his feelings... even through the frustrations, the book held my interest -it's fantasy, after all.

Summary: Very nice..but the steam was missing!
Review: I liked this book very much...Sinjin was adorable and Chelsea had a lot of spunk. The writing was great, I really felt I was in that era. Susan Johnson should be given high marks for historical detail.
I just have two complaints. First, I felt a lot of issues were not resolved between the two. Sinjin and Chelsea never talked about his first love Catherine, especially when its clear she played such an important part in his life. I would also like if Ms Johnson tones down the sexuality of her heroes...Sinjin would have been more adorable if he wasn't SUCH a rake!
Secondly, I was vastly disappointed that this book did not have any of the erotic scenes unlike in her other books such as Brazen and Forbidden. There wasn't even one single detailed love scene which left me feeling bad. This is after all a Susan Johnson book!
