I started this hoping for a fun historical romance.  I've read Sharon Page before and have always enjoyed her books.  She usually writes engaging characters with a good plot and a lot of steamy scenes.  This one though didn't really make the cut.  It starts out pretty good:Lynn (Trevelyan), is one of London's most elite Bow Street Runners and an Earl in the making.  He is out to question Sally (Estelle Desjardins), a beautiful elite seamstress to the ton about a missing debutante who she had made a dress for.  Lynn and Sally were once 'married' when they were young and poor, but Sally ran out on him on their wedding night.  Now, 10 years later, Lynn has a reason to track her down and find out what happened both for his investigation and his heart.Sinful sounds like its going to be really good, but it's too short to really hold a storyline.  The book jumped around, the characters weren't flushed out and the pivotal scenes were short and jumpy.  You didn't have a chance to really know Lynn and Sally.  So many things are brought up but never explained and the 'pat' ending makes it even more frustrating.  The sex scenes were too long and drawn out in my opinion.  I like to read a book for more than just sex. This books only saving grace is that it's short.  I'm really disappointed because again, Sharon Page is a better storyteller than this.  But it seems like she just penned this in the spur of the moment and then moved on.  Even for the price I wouldn't recommend this read. :(
