Suspense!

Intense is how I would describe Illicit Passion in one word. It drew me in from the start and I practically held my breath as I read it. Even when I wasn’t reading it, I was thinking about it. What would happen next – to Michael, to Lisette, to Harriet? Would Michael and Lizzie’s love hold strong, would Lisette break free of the chains which held her, what would happen to Kit and Harriet, to Greta? Where were Isla and Bob?

Sarah managed to sustain the suspense that captured me from the

LOVE, FAMILY TRYSTS, MARRIAGE, BLACKMAIL & DEATH -- THIS BOOK HAS IT ALL

Lizzie's son, Kit (from her affair with her boss, Clement) and Lisette's daughter, Harriett (from her affair with her father) have been raised as twins.

Having read and loved Dangerous Liaisons I was waiting for the sequel with bated breath. Would Michael and Lizzie's indescretions come back to haunt them? Showbiz superstar Michael Marsh, who shocked readers with his scandalous betrayal of his beloved wife, Lizzie, is back in Illicit Passion. Two decades on from his, and Lizzie’s, “Dangerous Liaisons” he discovers that Kevin Tyrone, with whom he crossed swords years before, has a hold over their eldest daughter, Lisette. Once again, it’s down to ...more

I have a pinned tweet at the moment with a banner that reads "The price of temptation must be paid, but who will pay it?" The question in body of the tweet is: "Will it be paid in Dollars, Disgrace, or Death?"

Illicit Passion was a sequel that had to be written: it almost wrote itself. Without using spoilers for anyone who has not yet read Dangerous Liaisons, the first book in the Royal Command series, all I shall add is the way Michael, Lizzie and Lisette dealt with their "troubles" was bound to
