Summary: Good read but not a great one
Comment: In 1747 in the Scottish Highlands, an outraged fourteen-year old St. John "Sinjun" Thornton is forced to marry seven-year old hellion Christy MacDonald. Neither child wants nor agrees to these nuptials, but clan needs require their marriage so the vows are exchanged anyway.
By 1762, Sinjun is better known as Lord Sin for his wild womanizing ways. He has not seen his bride since she kicked him at the altar fifteen years ago. Christy relishes her marriage because she is able to run the clan without the interference of a spouse. That changes when another chieftain Calum demands she annul her vows and marry him. Instead, of succumbing to Calum's pressure, Christy, masquerading as Flora, finds her spouse and seduces him in order to become pregnant with an heir. However, Flora and Lord Sin fall in love, but how will he react when he learns about the ruse his own wife pulled off on him?
A TASTE OF SIN is an entertaining historical romance that takes readers on a wild twisting ride through mid-eighteenth century Scotland. The lead couple is a finely developed duo whose lovemaking heats the pages. The supporting characters provide the depth and intrigue that bring out the period. Best-selling author Connie Mason opens her new series with a passionate exciting Highlander romance.

Summary: Excellent story!
Comment: The story began in 1747. St.John Thornton was known as Sinjun. The Ton called him Lord Sin. At fourteen he was wed, by the king's command, to seven year old Lady Christy Macdonald. Neither Sinjun, nor Christy, wanted the match. All Christy's brothers had died in the battle of Culloden. Christy was named laird of the clan Macdonald. She would grow up in her beloved Scottish Highlands at Glenmoor Castle. He would grow up in London and live up to the name Lord Sin.
Fifteen years later, there is unrest among the clans. Calum Cameron ruled the Cameron clan. He intended to have Christy and Sinjun's marriage annulled, claim Christy as his wife, and become Laird through the marriage. Then war with the English will begin anew. To stop this, Christy went to London as Lady Flora Randall to seduce her husband. With his bairn in her belly she could return to Glenmoor in triumph! Glenmoor would have an heir, Sinjun would never know Flora had really been his wife and he would live happily in London unawares, and Calum's plans would be thwarted.
All went as planned until a pregnant Christy returned home to Glenmoor. Then it all fell to pieces!
*** First of a new trilogy! Each will have their own story. This one was MOST EXCELLENT! Connie Mason has never let me down and is still a "A BOOK WRITING WOMAN" as my mother would say. That is her highest compliment and is seldom given. Lord Sin is as handsome and sinful as they come. Christy is more than his match too. Highly recommended reading! ***

Summary: Good, but it gets old before it ends
Comment: The couple in this book doesn't give you a lot of reason to hope they'll make it together. Their love life and attraction to one another sizzles, but they communicate with one another as well as toddlers would. Mistakes and misunderstandings that would be easily solved are painfully drawn out. Every time one is willing to talk, the other refuses to listen. When one is willing to listen, the other refuses to talk.....
The story starts out humorous, when 14 year old St. John is forced to marry 7 year old Christy. She kicks him in the shin and sticks her tongue out at him during their wedding. Gotta love her spunk. Then the story jumps ahead about 15 years:
St. John (Sinjun) likes the ladies, alcohol, and gambling. Each time he gets mad at his wife, he runs out and finds himself a mistress. No faithful longing for his wife here.
Christy has a horrible knack for telling huge lies and for making rash, terribly bad decisions. More times than I can count, she nearly destroyed both her marriage and her people. She is the Laird of her Scottish clan, but is far too impulsive to make good choices for the clan. When an enemy tries to take the clan over, she proves to be a weak leader and her hubby (Sinjun) has to jump in and fix things for her. (Which nearly gets him killed.)
I still give the book 4 stars, because it is entertaining enough to keep you reading. The story line is original and the characters are realistic. But it does start to drag when the leading lady's mistakes and impulsive actions wear on you, as well as the leading man's "sins."
