Review: A tease, but a good one

This little prequel to a new series by Vicky Dreiling is both a joy and a disappointment. First, like other Drieling novels, it sparkles with well-developed characters and a believable, sensible plot. The dynamics between the characters brings dramatic tension to the novel and keeps the pace clipping along. However, and it's a big however, A Season for Sin is billed as a novella, which it is not. It just stops at a crucial point--yikes! And then, to tease even more, it has the first chapter of What a Wicked Earl Wants, what will be the full-length story of the Earl of Bellingham and the widowed Laura. So, is it worth the read? If you don't mind hanging off a cliff for a year or so, yes. If getting to the "good part" only to discover nothing else drives you nuts, don't pick up this book until the other one is out.
