Review: Sin's Inquity Recycled
Rating: 1 out of 5
Date: 10 3, 2011
I have read three books by this author: Mistaken Identity, Sin's Iniquity (SI) and Drawing the Line (DL).  After reading SI and Mistaken Identity, I was left with a good impression of the author's work.  I thought although her stories were over the top and had poor editing, she had very good ideas and I was looking forward to reading her future works.Plot:Shane's mother passed when she was a young child.  She lives in her mother's house with her evil money hungry  aunt and her aunt's family. Shane wants her family out of her house but she knows they will not go quietly and she fears for her life.  Andrew and Paul make Shane an offer she can't refuse. A offer that will give her the money she needs to get her family out of the house.The Good:The story line between Andrew, Paul and Shane was handled well.  I think the potential of lost of the business provided an explanation into why Andrew and Paul would agree to have a relationship with one woman.***************SPOILERS*******************The Bad:This story was VERY similar to SI.  Similarities in the SI and DL heroines and plot include but not limited to the following:  heroines are smart and focused on career and school, heroines from both stories share physical characteristic (i.e. size 14 and height 5'4), heroines live in the basement of their homes,  both heroines' mothers died at an early age leaving the heroine to be raised by their evil, money hungry aunts, neither heroine knows the identify of their father, both heroine wakes up from a coma and discovers she is pregnant (sigh), heroines discover they have siblings and the sibling are the story's antagonist,  both herione and hero are shot, herione and/or hero suffers from amnesia.  I could go on and on.In addition not only does the two stories share similar plot lines but they also share the same characters, Michelle, boutique owner, and Onyx, the investigator. (The Bellini's and Lethal Heart are also briefly mentioned).  The mention of Michelle did not add anything to the storyline and was a filler. Onyx (sigh).The story line regarding the chemical company land scandal was a complete filler.  I wished this story line was involved in the climax as it may have differentiated the two stories.I felt there were a number of other filler's through out the story. The author has a bad habit of repeating sentences.  In DL, it states that Shane learned at an early age to trim her edges and style her own hair.(Pause  I don't know any African American woman that would deliberately trim their edges.  The author does makes the correction and insert the same sentence a couple of lines further into the story. The next time it is mentioned it is corrected from edges to ends. Why this is mentioned twice in the story is unknown and there are several more examples of these types of repetitive sentences throughout the book. I would attribute this to the poor writing and editing of this story.The bit about Paul and scarlet fever was so over the top and not necessary. An explanation of Paul's illness and treatments would have been sufficient. More information regarding how Paul gained knowledge about woman in spite of his inexperience would have also been helpful.  Shane' kidnapping was also over the top, i.e, three weeks, peanuts and water?There were SSSOOOOO many errors laced throughout this story. At one point I stop wondering if their was an editor involved in this story and wondered if the author actually read her own work before she published this story. If I was Allison Russell, I would not want my name attached to this book.***************SPOILERS Over*******************Would I recommend this book? NO! Too many errors, to many fillers, bad writing and no originality as this story is identical to the author's other work.
