I loooooooooooooooooove Sinful! I hope you like it as much as I did =)
Michelle, I'm looking forward to reading it.
Do I need to read Addicted first? They appear to be stand-alones.
Oh sugar honey iced tea! I haven't read Sinful yet, I meant Addicted LOL!!!!!!! I was baking cookies when I wrote that and must've gotten high off of the smell, LMAO!

I'm not sure but, I think you should read Addicted first.
Gigi wrote: "Michelle, I'm looking forward to reading it.

I believe Sinful is pretty stand alone book, the secondary married couple (they actually aren't around that often) are the h/h from Addicted, so if you are interested in them you can always read Addicted after Sinful. This will break Michelle's heart- but I loved Sinful SO MUCH more than Addicted! And I hope you like it too Gigi!
LOL!! Thanks Michelle and Megan! I'm dying to read both now. LOL I may need to change my book to Addicted.

Michelle, I'm glad you enjoyed Lord Ian. I absolutely adored that character. He's probably a favorite hero of mine. And Beth was perfect for him.
