Lecia Cornwall was a wonderful new find for me earlier this year. I was really surprised and delighted by her writing and her characters. I’m always nervous trying a new author but Ms. Cornwall’s characters were so engaging I couldn’t wait to pick up a new book by her. Lady Elena is trying to live her life day to day and hopefully move past the fact that her husband was one of England’s greatest traitors. But not everyone believes that Evelyn has no idea where her husband is. Captain Sinjon injects himself in to her household as a footman trying to uncover the truth and neither of them can hide their attraction. What made this book so good was that Ms. Cornwall didn’t make everything perfect, it was down and dirty and nobody’s perfect. I disliked a lot of Evelyn’s family, it reflected how much more I enjoyed her as a person and cheered for her happiness. Sinjon was a soldier through and through so he had an ingrained need to protect and Evelyn brought out a piece of himself he didn’t know was missing. This had a storyline that stuck with me that I still remember and I’m sure I’ll be going back and rereading again sometime soon. Great read! I literally just finished this book and I am now in love with Lecia Cornwall. All, I want to know is where have you been all my life and are there other books that I have missed.Ms. Cornwall, had me right from the beginning I love a book with romance and intrigue that also is very witty. I can't tell you the amount of time I spent reading with a smile on my face and laughing out loud at something someone side. All the while rooting for Evie and Sin and hoping that Phillip was dead and Creighton would hurry and be discovered. Evelyn is one of the strongest women that I have had the pleasure of reading about and Sinjon was very honorable and brave. I couldn't help thinking that I wished more men (especially mine) were more like him. This book is definitely worth the time (which want be long, cause you want be able to put it down) it takes to read it. I am looking forward to reading anything that Ms. Cornwall has to say in the future. I hope there is more to this series(?), because I would love to know what happens to Caroline and William. Just please leave Evelyn's horrid sisters out of it. They have put her through enough hell, I hope that know one else has to deal with them.
What do You think about The Price Of Temptation (2011)?
Lecia Cornwall is a new-to-me author, but I will definitely be buying her books after this.

I liked it very much. One sitting read as usual for the historical romance.
