I haven't ever seen a historical romance set in the time of the Salem witch trials and, since I think that time is very interesting, I was excited about reading this. It didn't quite meet all my expectations, but I did really enjoy it. Her Wicked Sin was a lovely read, complete with a wonderful setting and steamy romance. I really liked this book.My favorite part of the book was definitely the setting. The author did a great job re-creating the world of Puritan Salem and the superstition of the witch trials. It was brilliantly done, creating a setting that really drew me in.Lydia was a great character. She was a strong heroine, determined to make her quiet living, regardless of the Puritan laws. I thought she was likable. I don't really have anything to say about her other than she was lovely.I adored Henry. He was so sweet and adorable and so determined to protect his loved ones. He was perfect and I just loved him.The romance was sweet and there was definitely chemistry between these two right away. I thought it was so sweet how they came to trust and fall for each other. And, the sparks were there from the moment they met. I thought they were lovely together.The plot was well paced and I was kept interested the entire way through. There was definitely a twist, when we find out how Lydia's past and Henry's past are connected.So, if I liked all this about the book, why did I rate it 3.5?Well, it felt kind of incomplete. I felt like there should have been more to it somehow. More about the character, more about the story. It didn't feel all there, if that makes sense. I finished the book feeling vaguely dissatisfied, even though I liked the story. So, that definitely took away from my enjoyment of the book as a whole. But, for the most part, I really liked this book.Her Wicked Sin was a lovely historical romance. With a unique setting and steamy romance, this is a book romance lovers won't want to miss. I really enjoyed this book and I think others will, as well.*I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review
