The third in the Rarest Blooms quartet, Sinful in Satin features a virtuous, virginal courtesan's daughter (if you can believe there is one) and a spy (of course there's a spy, every historical romance must have one these days). If this is not Madeline Hunter's, I'll probably pass. Under her skillful writing, it becomes quite enjoyable reading. The romance itself is sweet, sometimes goose-bumplingly hot. The tension wanes a bit a bit after their first coupling, but I can still go on and finish the book (a feat that rarely happens lately). The protagonists are likeable, sensible people who, although with their backgrounds, don't whine too much. The future protagonists have some major face time that definitely make the last book in this series an autobuy for me.
4/5
Read it for yourself.
