This is an e Novella and as such it is a short introduction into the upcoming series Sinful Scoundrels from an author on the rise, Vicky Dreiling. If you've never read anything by this author, then this is just the perfect vehicle for you to `sample' and `taste' her fresh take on the regency era. I find her writing style light and refreshing and I hope you will too.As the story opens we are introduced to Andrew Carrington, the Earl of Bellingham, who is getting ready to ditch his latest mistress. It's something he dreads to do, but alas she's begun to grate on his nerves with her whining and nagging. It turns out, the mistress has a mind of her own and she's about to shock the poor man!Lady Chesfield is a young widow with a seventeen year old stepson that just can't stay out of trouble and unless she can reel him in, she just may lose him altogether, and that she's not willing to accept.What I liked best about this little novela, is the way Ms. Dreiling introduced her hero. She took her time and took me on an entertaining and fun journey of a life of an Aristocrat. It was too much fun to live in this man's mind and I can truly say that A Season for Sin is a perfect Prequel to What a Wicked Earl Wants and I am eagerly awaiting the full story of happily ever after of these two characters that are witty, passionate and charming.And then she gave us the other two scoundrels and as secondary characters, Colin and Harry, were so well written, that they really jumped off the page and I was glad that Ms. Dreiling reined them both in, otherwise, left to their own devices, those two would have taken over the story!Melanie for b2b
