SYNOPSIS: A hundred years has passed since the bitter
rivalry between the St. Claires and the Huntingtons began. But in London, the
feud goes on . ..
Lady Sophia Huntington isn't what she appears to be. Born
into a noble family, the impulsive, wild-hearted beauty has fallen on difficult
times. Banished from her home, Sophia dreams of the day she can finally win her
father's forgiveness and return to London. Until the sudden appearance of a
suitor from the scandalous St. Claire family threatens to reveal her darkest
secrets . . .
Dominic St. Claire vows to exact revenge upon the
Huntingtons, who destroyed his family's fortune generations ago. His perfect
target is the lovely but proud Lady Sophia. After using her to discover the
Huntingtons' financial secrets, he will cause a great scandal by eloping-and
then abandoning his bride. But his plot soon unravels when he finds his own
heart ensnared-in a trap not of his own making.
REVIEW: First things first, I have to get this out. I LOVED this
book. In many ways did it remind me of Romeo and Juliet. In Two Sinful Secrets, we have the Huntington’s
and the St. Claire’s and a life time family feud. On one eventful night, Lady
Sophia finds herself sneaking into a club that her family does not approve of.
One filled with gambling, drinking, and things a lady of her status should not
be involved in. Sophia started of going just to spite her family only to find
her true purpose was to see the ever enchanting Dominic St. Claire. When one
thing leads to another the two find themselves alone and about to head in a
direction that Sophia knows she should not go. So she finds a means to escape.
Leaving poor Dominic to wonder just who this lady that intrigued his interest
so much was. Fast forward to months later, Sophia finds herself lost and alone
after running off and marrying a man her family didn’t approve of to which they
cut off all ties with her. Her quick and hasty, a means to escape her
suffocating family marriage comes to an end after her drunken husband dies. Now
she must find a way to fend for herself and a way be accepted back into her
family. Then we have Dominic, wild and free spirited, after deciding to settle down
he became engaged to Jane. Though engaged, he could never forget that night in
his gambling house with the ever so elusive Sophia. After Jane mysteriously dies
Dominic swears he will never marry. Though that is all about to change. Fate
has other plans in mind for Sophia and Dominic. While in Paris the two are
brought back together and cannot seem to stay away though they both know they
need to. After a sudden marriage, the two struggle with their feelings for one
another and the talk of the town. This book was brilliantly written and I loved
every aspect of it. It has made its way onto my list of favorite books and
definitely one I will read time and time again. I love how complex the main
characters are. I love how each of them have their unforgettable past and
seeing them overcome all the things that hold them back. It was a truly amazing
read from beginning to end. It isn’t just a love story either. It offers so
much more than that. Lies, deceit, betrayal, growth, humor and action. It is
one that you cannot put down once you begin. I cannot wait to read the next one
from Laurel McKee.
