This review will appear at Romantic Historical Book Lovers on March 20, 2013Longtime friends are a rare and delicious treat. Devil DeVere, Simon "Sin" Singleton, Edward "Ned" Chambers have been friends most of their lives. They've been through so much together and with the Devilish Vignettes we get to meet them in their early years. The years where they're still young and foolish. They pull pranks, act without thinking, and wreak havoc on those around them.In The Trouble with Sin we find our resident poet, Sin, in trouble with his parents. They've taken him to task and expect him to reform. Sin has other ideas. He uses his power over words to make a few coins to make up for the coin his parents no longer give him. Oh! The horror! Now, he just has to keep his parents from finding out!I found myself snickering at the predicaments Sin found himself in. He's just a young man trying to find his way in this world. His own way. His parents have other ideas and he rebels. I was giggling and few times I laughed out loud. I also felt bad for him. He's such a good-hearted person and time after time, he found himself being taken.Only a person with a heart the size of Sin's could land him in this much trouble. Well, that and the fact that he's still young and impetuous!We rarely get to meet the main characters of books we love in their early years. We may get snippets of their lives from before, but we don't get to live it with them. In the Devilish Vignettes, Victoria Vane gives us that history. We get the story of their early years before they found the loves of their lives. It gives us more insight into their characters and makes us love them all the more.The Trouble with Sin is not a romantic story. But it gives us that elusive insight into a character we'll get to know in one of Victoria Vane's upcoming stories, Jewel of the East. We've met Sin before in her other stories, but this time around we'll get his story. This Devilish Vignette will only add to his story when it comes out.I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
