Product Description
Product Description
Filled with seduction, suspense, and passionate love, Madeline Hunter’s bestselling novels have captivated readers everywhere. Now she introduces fans to one of her most thrilling heroes yet—“the Sinner”—in an irresistible tale of a sensual bargain so dangerously provocative, it could tempt the devil himself . . .
THE SINNER
Wearing nothing but a man’s nightshirt, Fleur Monley wakes to find herself in the bed of England’s most charming and reckless libertine. But it was a stray gunshot, not passion, that put her at the mercy of a man as infamously handsome as he is famously talented in the arts of love. Believing herself immune to any seduction, Fleur thinks herself perfectly safe to proffer an arrangement no ordinary woman would dare make: half her fortune for the freedom she would gain by being his wife—in name only. Desperately in need of funds, Dante Duclaire could do worse than the “white marriage” proposed by this idealistic beauty too naïve to know the danger she is in. But the rashest thing he’s ever done is to tell himself he’ll be able to resist the invitation to sin that this sensuous innocent would arouse at every turn—or that he’ll be able to protect her from both the ruthless enemies that seek her ruin . . . and his own dangerous desire.

I disagree with the lukewarm review i've just read regarding this novel. It certainly hit the spot for me bearing in mind my rather jaded view on the genre at the moment. I was becoming jaded due to the 'wham, bam, thank you ma'am' nature of some of the offerings from the authors i'd previously enjoyed. Where is all the romance? Where has the long drawn out sexual tension that literally sizzles as the pages turn gone? Where is the 'falling in love', instantly perhaps but believably without the need to rip open the bodices from page one!
Well, here we have it. I've yet to read any other of Madeline Hunter's offerings but I certainly will be on the strength of this one. Here's a book that is gripping from the first page, grabs your hand and drags you along at a a pace to the final page and offers a hand again as you skip straight back to the beginning to start the magic again.....sigh! The pages crackle with sexual tension and the interplay between the two leads is believable and satisfying.
The characters are rounded and likeable and Fleur's fear of intimacy is used to great effect as the story unwinds and Dante is forced to be patient and gentle in his wooing of her, a state he is unacustomed to being the ultimate jaded rake. Cliche I know but it works!
I rate this novel if you're after a passionate love story that builds up at a perfect pace. I loved it. :)!

I love the seducer series compared to the one on the Rothwell brothers which I didnt fancy much). This book is one my favorites. I will admit to getting irritated with the heroine and her hang ups and even when the reason behind her behavior was revealed, it was just odd, childish and somewhat difficult to believe. I just wanted her to grow up. But it did work in to the storyline and despite all that, you still ended up liking Fleur. She and Dante made a lovely couple and with each turn of the page, I so wanted them to find happiness. I also liked having glimpses of the characters featured in the previous books. Would definately recommend. A keeper.

I was very excited when I first discovered this historical romance writer and am devouring everything of her that I can lay my hands on. She tells a very compelling tale with a good mixture of seduction, suspense and passionate love. However, this book disappointed me. Both Dante and Fleur are troubled souls and I expected much of the road they had to travel to reach the ultimate goal of each other in everlasting love. While Dante was willing to adjust and comes across as protective and desiring of having this venture work for the two of them; Fleur instead comes across as selfish and bratish to a large extent. By the time the issues that compels her to act in this way is unfolding to Dante (and the reader) the reader basically does not care anymore. It is also interesting that Dante, a connoisseur of women et al, has to wait for his brother to indicate that there may be more to Fleur's behaviour than the surface actions. The reader cannot help but finish the book with the nagging feeling that Dante deserves better. Having said that of this book, please take the trouble to read the rest of the series. It is well worth it!
