Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Both plot and historical ambience fall by the wayside in Caskie's Regency romance series launch. The seven Sinclair siblings, known collectively as the Seven Deadly Sins, are forced from their ancestral home in Scotland by their father, who insists they mend their ways in London or be disinherited. Sterling Sinclair's attempt to provide for his family by prizefighting is nearly derailed by his interest in—and disastrous encounters with—the beautiful Isobel Carrington. Unfortunately, the Sinclairs are nearly indistinguishable, despite each one's association with a different sin, and Isobel's interest in social causes is as unconvincing as her sudden emotional shifts and eccentric behavior. Caskie (How to Propose to a Prince) tosses in so many violations of period norms and etiquette that the Sinclairs' shock value drops to nil, leaving nothing to anchor the story. (Dec.)

Review

TOP PICK~ 4 1/2 Stars! Never was sinning more delectable than with Caskie's Sinclairs, aka the Seven Deadly Sins, who set tongues wagging with their scandalous behavior. Caskie skillfully pulls readers into a delicious romance filled with wit, sensuality and heartwarming emotions, whetting your appetite for more sinfully fun stories. --Romantic Times BOOKreview Magazine

1.0 out of 5 stars Out of all of these people, there should be someone to like!, April 23, 2009
I agree with mizsusmama's review and will take it one step further. I didn't like the heroine either. She embodies one of my pet peeves - someone who does incredibly stupid things then blames someone else for the consequences.

First putting herself, literally, in the middle of boxing match to ask the crowd for money. She only considers herself a "goose" for impulsively doing such a thing but "despises" Sinclair for his humorous reaction to it. Next, she slaps him hard - twice - in front of a huge crowd at Almacks. Brilliant - and for what? The first, because he brushed her cheek with his fingers, the second because he asked her to dance. Obviously he should have kept his hands to himself but really? Overreact much? A tolerable heroine would have walked away. The heroine I want to read about would have come back with some funny yet incredibly cutting response. She knows her father will be furious at her actions which caused such embarrassment and in her opinion "Lord Blackburn...was wholly to blame."

Finally, there is no reason to believe Sinclair would decide, after these two scenes, that he wants to marry her and place the bet at Whites. Why?

In fact, Why any of it?

2.0 out of 5 stars Lackluster begining to new series, February 11, 2009
By Misuzmama (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Forced to take action to control his unruly brood, The Duke of Sinclair finally snaps and banishes his seven adult children from their ancestral Scottish home. The nicknamed *Seven Deadly Sins* Sinclair siblings set off to London with little money and a challenge. Their goal is to redeem themselves in the eyes of the patriarch, and thus, becoming worthy of the Sinclair name. As the eldest, Sterling Sinclair, the Marquess of Blackburn, takes matters into his own hands -literally. In order to earn more money for the family he participates in bare-knuckle boxing matches where the Scottish giant easily wins. At one of the bouts he encounters Miss Isobel Carington who has her own agenda. She solicits money for her cause, a fund for the widows and orphans of the war. Isobel is unnerved by the Scottish brute and takes an instant disliking to him. Sterling on the other hand is entirely smitten and concocts a plan to reap more coin for his family and win the hand of the bold beauty.

The idea for a series with siblings who are each nicknamed after a deadly sin (greed, gluttony, envy etc) is brilliant. Unfortunately this book is terrible. The only thing that was somewhat entertaining was the unique plot and that can only hold my attention for so long. Usually a first book in the series takes time to introduce and get to know at least some of the characters (a perfect opportunity to make the reader anticipate the next books). But I felt like I met the siblings but really know nothing about them -completely flat characterizations. Again and again we are told that the Sinclairs are scandalous. But nothing is given to back that up! So what did they exactly do in Edinburgh to earn this *Deadly Sins* reputation? No examples were given. Too much tell and not nearly enough show. Show me why Lady Ivy is known for *envy* or why Lachlan is known for *lust*. And it gets worse. Besides the unsupported nicknames the siblings have, they weren't actually likable. They came off as a bunch of spoiled brats IMHO. The sisters seem only to be concerned about what kind of baubles they can buy and the brothers if there is enough brandy about. And these people had barely enough money to buy decent food! You'd think that as adults (in their 20's) they'd come together and formulate a plan and win back their fathers good graces. But no! And as far as the romance goes its subpar at best. No buildup and certainly no seduction. Isobel hates Sterling one minute and is in love with him in the next.

So I can't recommend this book. Caskie can come up with some very clever plot lines that are definitely unique in historical romance genre. But the one dimensional characters and lackluster romance in To Sin With A Stranger make this one a skip it.

Books which I have enjoyed by Caskie-
How to Seduce a Duke

'Stranger' romance which I have enjoyed-
Slightly Wicked (Get Connected Romances)
A Lady's Secret

2.0 out of 5 stars Can't recommend it, April 8, 2009
By dizzheart "dizzheart" (Los Angeles CA) - See all my reviews
  
Can't recommend it ... in fact, can't even seem to finish it. It seems to me that every element in it has been used a jillion times before. Ordinarily, in a romance, that's not an issue because all the plot points have been used before and we all know how it's going to end (if it's a romance, they live and if it's women's fiction, one of them dies). The joy is supposed to be in the journey, not the destination. Which means it has to be an interesting journey, and this just wasn't, at least not to me. It didn't hold my interest whatsoever and it all seemed faintly oversimplified. I am the more disappointed because I have liked some of this author's other books very well. Better luck next time, I guess.
