Summary: New to Susan Johnson...
Comment: As a newcomer to Susan Johnson's work, I was delighted to discover her less-than-usual approach to the romance genre. In A Touch of Sin, the heroine is no virgin - sexy and beautiful, Trixi is a willing participant in the book's steamy scenes of sex and love. The hero, Pasha, is one of the best male characters I've ever encountered. He's handsome, sensual, charming and physically appealing. What a combination! I also enjoyed the historical setting and the fact that Johnson included pages of footnotes to give credibility and background to her love story. Overall, a great read - I'm now searching for all the Susan Johnson I can find!

Summary: Not her best, but still good
Comment: "A Touch of Sin" had all of the trademarks of a Susan Johnson novel - the smart, independent heroine, the rich, handsome and well-endowed hero, and plenty of hot sex and adventure. Somehow though, it just didn't add up to one of her best novels. For anyone who's read any of Ms. Johnson's other books, this one pales by comparison. It was a bit contrived. I got the feeling that it was written following a successful formula or something - add a sexual fantasy scene here, insert villain at this point, etc. Some of her other books (e.g., "Sinful", "Taboo") were "gourmet meal" entertainment. This one was less sustaining by comparison.

Summary: Steamy read but go easy on the story
Comment: Honestly, the circumstances of how Pasha and Trixi met each other made me cringed and braced myself for a trashy bimbo story. In fact, those steamy scenes are what one look forward to read about in her books. In that aspect, the book did not disappoint.
Trixi was quick to succumb to the charm of Pasha and lust of her own, so quick that all claims of her naivety sounded quite hypocritical. Then followed by the sex scenes in the coach on the way from Paris to Calais. There was something naughty and wanton about. Sex is very much on the mind of both characters, until Pasha felt compelled to go off and fight a war in Greece.
Really, I found it not very convincing for Pasha to fight a war just to help his friends. He was not a soldier like his dad and he was supposed to be the manager of their family wealth and enterprises. That conveniently set the scene for Trixi to be pursued by her enemy and travelled all the way to Greece to see Pasha, Of course, that set the scene for her to be captured, sexually toyed by her captor and then rescued by Pasha. This erotic scene at the Turk's tent mirrored that of 'Love Storm', though disappointingly brief and tame in comparison.
Overall, the sex scenes were exciting enough but not refreshingly imaginative. The story had a flimsy plot and the characters lack depth. So be clear of what you want out of the book to avoid disappointment.
