To Seduce a Sinner by Elizabeth Hoyt

3.5

---

I need to be clear upfront that I absolutely INHALED this book. So far this series is as compulsively readable as Maiden Lane, and it’s been a while since I’ve been sucked into a series like this. That all being said, I have a lot of niggles with this one because, on the whole, the story felt held together with duct tape. The relationship arc between Jasper and Melisande felt inconsistent and contrived in places, while I never really bought into why Melisande had been in love with Jasper for so long. Also the continuation of the “who’s the traitor?” plotline got a bit “ugh, really?” near the end, but in fairness there were some interesting new breadcrumbs thrown in. And as Hoyt is wont to do, the dog and manservant vibes are immaculate.
