Thea Devine, one of the
masters of erotic historical romance, pulls together a double plot of a
Victorian era erotic historical, with a paranormal vampire twist, that
is steamy hot, sensual, and full of suspense. The title is appropriate
as two passionate lovers come together with "Sinful Secrets" they
similarly share. Sayra, the beautiful and sensual "position girl" at
The Pig and The Poke Pub in Wixone-on-Lyme, England and daughter of the
local drunk, Mansour, is unsuspecting brought together with the
handsome, tough, and strong second son of the Duke of Wrentham,
Declan/Sinclair. From Kadir, to Berenjevic and Budapest, Vienna, Paris,
Calis, and finally back to England, the story follows these two sensual
people on a quest for answers to their present and past.
Sayra and Declan/Sinclair chase down those that thirst on the
blood of others and quest for power, while they are passionately and
sensually drawn to their bodies, spirits, and secrets. Woven within the
erotic sexual scenes are questions of who can be trusted, who is in
disguise, and what is the truth? Will these passionate lovers; Sayra
and Declan, overcome the evil, blood lust and distrust and find true
love?
A truly enjoyable, well-written story for mature readers who
enjoy a top notch erotic historical with a paranormal mystery.
