My rating:

                                                           [spoiler alert]

This short story by SD was this close to having 4 stars and I was so willing! Wish List was a fun and sweet story, until the abrupt ending, which left me feeling I’m missing sometime vital here. Other than that, I loved the whole premise, loved the interaction between Nick and Stephanie. Nick was a treat to read, seriously!

                                                             [might be spoilerish]

Soooo, hmmmm... This is a 5 page quickie. I needed one to further my GR challenge. Yah, I know it’s shameful but can’t help it when RL is intruding and I’m lagging behind my goals.

Sever Years to Sin by Sylvia Day

Seven Years to Sin

Sylvia Day

Historical Romance/Erotica

Published in 2011

H/h - Alistair Caulfield/Lady Jessica Sinclair

Setting: London, Regency era.

Read in Jan, 2012.

My rating:

                                                            [spoiler alert]

TBH, for the half of the book I was skeptical because I wasn’t sure of Alistair at first and Jessica wasn’t impressive in any sense. But the 2nd half covered that and more for me; it made me cry, sigh, laugh and mutter lucky b*tch to Jessica more than once. I was more moved by Jessica’s sister, Hester’s life story and the secret tendre between her and Michael, Jessica’s brother-in-law. SD did a fabulous job of addressing the issue of an abusive household/relationship. So, it was crazy and yet I found the plot very refreshing. I only wished for a few things to go differently. Even then, I loved it and I loved loved loved Alistair. WOW, I want him and I make no secret of that.

Don't Tempt Me

The Georgian #4

Sylvia Day

Historical Romance/Erotica
Published in 2008

H/h - Simon Quinn/Lynette Baillon

Setting: Paris, 1780. 

Read in Dec, 2011.

My rating:

                                                            [spoiler alert]

Alright, gotta say Don't Tempt Me had quite a lot of twists and turns I really enjoyed. Romance-wise, Simon and Lynette’s relationship wasn’t satisfactory. I was more interested in Lysette and Edward’s but SD cheated me out of their HEA by ignoring them in the end.

The Georgian #3

H/h - Colin Mitchell/Amelia Benbridge

Setting: London, 1780.

Read in Dec, 2011.

My rating:

                                                       [spoiler alert]

Hmm, not sure where to start. This book was ok, nothing exciting for me. Nada from Colin or Amelia that could make me dance. Weird thing is, I wasn’t bored or anything but I wasn’t hooked either. Some spy actions went on here as well but not enough to make me bite my nails.

H/h - Christopher St. John/Lady Maria Winter
Setting: London, 1771/72 (?). 

Read in Dec, 2011.
 

My rating:

                                                          [spoiler alert]

I am so disappointed in Christopher’s story. It started out quite promising but went downhill after a few chapters. I didn’t really feel the plot, skipped quite a bit. And then, it just had many eww-factors/awkward situations than I care to read. I tried but just couldn’t really like or connect with either Maria or Christopher. I’ll try to point out the problems I had in this book in my review.
