~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For this Anthology, I am reviewing SINFUL DEEDS from Samantha Holt.  If all of the stories are as delightful as this one, just put up the do not disturb sign and order in pizzas for the week.  Your family will survive it.

SINFUL DEEDS is the second book in the Cynfell Brothers series.  Though each does stand alone, I would recommend reading in the order of publication.  You can expect updates on the previous couples.

Dante Cynfell is the second son in this family.  I am reminded that the traditional aristocracy procreated with the motto of “an heir and a spare.”  Meaning that each family wanted there to be two boys born, because of the high infant mortality rates of the times.

Born as “the spare,” Dante lacks the seriousness of his brother.  He lives a life of privilege with no responsibility.  He doesn’t see his responsibility even for his mistress.  When Josephine, Jo-Jo, tells him that she wants more or freedom, he really doesn’t understand what more a woman could want.

I loved the banter between these two.  I also loved the growth they each experienced.  It’s obvious from page one that they love each other, but they are both strong enough to ask for what they want and fight for what they need.   I thought this was a great story and extremely well written.  This was not the usual boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy fights for girl.  Instead we start at boy loses girl and they both make the fight worthwhile.  I cheered when he inevitably re-won the heart of the girl without making her lose herself in the process.

As stated in my review for SINFULCONFESSIONS, the chores are often ignored when a truly good read is available – still guilty.  I began this one as soon as I finished Sinful Confessions and now, sadly, I’m done.  I guess it’s time to get back to work… but rest assured, I have one eye on my kindle account to see when the next book in this series will be released.

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
