The Price of Innocence - Susan Sizemore
Becoming burnt on paranormals, I picked this out of my Mount TBR. I have probably had in the pile for a few years. Nothing like a good historical to break up the paranormal beasts….
America, Sherrie Hamilton is taken captive and on her way to serve in a Haram when she is rescued by a daring young pirate Cullum whom decides to make a deal with her. One month as his mistress, then she can go free. After many months Cullum finally lets her go to save her life. She has come to love him and is hurt when seemingly discards her. As in most romance, nothing is as it appears.
Fast forward 10 years later and Sherrie is in England to accompany her cousins for their season. Sherrie is now a widow and the mother of a very perceptive young daughter.
Jack PenMartn, Earl of PenMartyn is trying to put his life in order and escape his jaded past, image his surprise when he runs smack into his past in the form of Sherrie Hamilton at the ball of a meddling, matchmaking friend. Sherrie and Jack try to avoid each other and their shared bittersweet paste, but Sherrie’s daughter and other well meaning matchmakers have other plans for them.
I enjoyed this one and found myself staying up late to follow them. Both hero and heroine are dealing with the pain they have caused and a love they cannot deny.
My grade: B+
Cover Art: Typical…
I’ve read this one - but it was quite a few years ago. I think I need to read it again ’cause even from your review, I don’t remember that much about it - just that I read it.
