ENGAGED IN SIN is a magnificent tale full of deceit, murder, mystery, and romance. Sharon Page knows how to keep the reader on the edge of the seat and she knows how to put the steam in romance. Sizzling scenes will leave you breathless, deep heart ache will have you longing for more, and then you will notice that the story is just beginning. The depths to Anne's character were truly astonishing. Page did not leave any harsh realities out of this woman's life and left them all on the pages for anyone to see. I thought that the reality of Anne was one of the best I have ever read. She was not the ideal heroine, quite the opposite in fact. She was hurt, she was forced to fall, and she was ready to accept the consequences on her own. Fortunately, for us, Anne had Devon, a wonderful hero willing to do whatever it took to keep her. Devon was just as heart wrenching as Anne. His life had all but been destroyed by the hardships of war. He was strong, enduring, and everything that a hero should be. I absolutely loved their story. The plot kept the story going and I did not feel that it was overrun with romance as other books are. I think that Ms. Page presents a very accurate depiction of life in London during this time period and its accuracy made the story all the richer for it!
