Historical Romance

Rebecca thought she never see the light of day or night inside of a saloon. Like the saying goes, “never say never.” Left penniless at the hands of Benjamin Colfax, Rebecca must take drastic steps to ensure her future. Slater Forrester, a man fighting demons of his own dismisses Rebecca as just another “working girl.” Rebecca begins work as Glory Bowen and without knowing it, wins over not just the raucous patrons of the Scarlet Garter including Slater. Andrew Kearney is the no-nonsense owner of the Scarlet Garter and when he is brutally murdered, Slater vows to find and bring the culprits to justice. For Glory and Slater, love is not easy and the thought of being burned twice poses a big obstacle for the two, but when the cards are laid on the table lady luck has way of coming out on top.

A REASON TO SIN is definitely one to add to your ever-growing pile of books to be read. I was pleasantly surprised with this story and how well the secondary characters added more depth to the main storyline. This author does a good job of penning a story where decisions are the key to survival.
