Already a huge fan of
Jess Michaels’ erotic historical romances, I was thrilled to be asked to read
and review the first book in her new brand new series, The Ladies’ Book of
Pleasures. A MATTER OF SIN by Jess Michaels is a must read start to a must read
series.

Blurb for A MATTER OF SIN:
Scandal between the
pages…surrender between the sheets.
The widowed Lady Isabel Avenbury has one remaining younger sister to shepherd into an advantageous marriage, and then she will be free. Free to take a lover to fill her lonely nights—the only option left for a woman on the delicate edge of a certain age.
Except when she chaperones her sister to a country house party, she is taken aback by her sudden, undeniable attraction to the host. And deliciously scandalized when she finds a copy of the notorious, much-gossiped-about Ladies Book of Pleasures in his library.
When Seth Rowland, Marquis Lyndham, notices his book is missing, his interest is piqued as to which of the potential young brides at his party has absconded with it—and he’s shocked to discover it’s Isabel. Though older than the women he’d planned to court, the powerful beauty exudes a sensuality he cannot ignore.
The book inspires them to begin a desperate, passionate affair. But their time together is running out and they must choose. Follow society’s rules, or take a chance at love.
Warning: Found within are highly scandalous books that trigger passionate desires, surrender in the orangery and possibly true love.

Lady Isabel Avenbury is
a widow whose marriage was less than passionate and now she’s seriously considering
taking a lover but before she can see to her own happiness, she must get her
youngest sister properly married off. Acting as chaperone to Serena, at a
country house party being held by the Marquis Lyndham and his mother to find
him an appropriate wife from the many potential young brides available in the
new Season, she hadn’t any intention of finding a lover there but then again, one must never
say never.
Seth Rowland the Marquis
Lyndham understands he has a duty to his family, and has agreed to find himself
a proper wife. Things change when Lady Isabel Avenbury enters his home with her
young sister. Isabel catches his attention more than any other woman does in
attendance. Even before Isabel married, Seth had noticed her and now she was
here, in his home, looking as beautiful and desirable as ever, plus she was a
widow. Everything told him his mother, and society would never approve of her
as a wife but unable to keep himself from her, he was willing to settle for
being her lover – or so he thought.
The Ladies’ Book of
Pleasures series by Jess Michaels centers around the naughty inspirations
brought on by a book, which appears to have been written by a Lady of the ton - a book giving advice to the young
Ladies of the ton on how best to give
pleasure to their men as well as gain pleasure for themselves. A MATTER OF SIN,
book one in the Ladies’ Book of Pleasures series is an enticing beginning to
what I hope will continue to be an intriguing, fun, sexy, and eventually
mystery solving series. What mystery, you might be wondering – who wrote the
Ladies’ Book of Pleasures, of course. I already have my suspicions about who the author
may, but can’t wait to make the journey through this series to find
out if I’m correct.
In the meantime, A
MATTER OF SIN by Jess Michaels is delightful, beckoning, sexy, and romantically
naughty according to society but keeps you turning the pages, and cheering for
Isabel and Seth, for the ultimate in pleasure is falling in love and finding
happiness together. I highly recommend this series starter if you love a
country party filled with gossipy women, interfering friends and family, and
sexy midnight trysts. A MATTER OF SIN by Jess Michaels is erotic historical
romance at its best and this series is looking to promise even more as we all
learn what the Ladies’ Book of Pleasures holds in store for us.
Happy Reading Everyone!
A MATTER OF SIN, a
Ladies’ Book of Pleasures novel by Jess Michaels, Samhain Publishing, releasing
