Ann Christopher has done it again - excellent, quick read, Mar 18 2012
By NGJ - Published on Amazon.com
I am becoming Ann Christopher's biggest fan, and have been feverishly searching for any and all of her books online. I've yet to come across a book that I wasn't thrilled with, at least as it pertains to the romance in the story. A lot of authors don't always understand romance, and how it works. You either get too much sex, and not enough romance and compatibility between the characters, or not enough physical attraction or content to warm you up on the inside. Ann does both in equal, but appropriate measure. She weaves together characters that you love, in scenarios that you can either relate to, or at least empathize with. She makes the men strong, and be upfront about their feelings, yet delicate with the women that they love.
I loved Tony - he's a war hero with a lot of baggage, but has enough of his mind to know what he wants as soon as he returns home. I was rooting for him the entire time, on a mental (to get his issues resolved) as well as a relationship-wise level. Talia was a delight as well. I enjoyed reading the letters that they shared with each other while he was away at war, as well as Talia's cute personality. Her condition was a surprise; usually authors don't delve into such serious subject in a short romance novel. But Christopher does it with ease.
This is a quick read, spends very little time talking about Tony's brother and Skylar (which I was okay with actually), and begins to tee up future stories with some of Tony's cousins, and (the way I read this) the Talia's smart-mouthed, but loyal sister.
Great job, Ann. Don't keep us waiting long, we look forward to the next one!

Wonderful story, very moving, Mar 4 2012
By Judy "book reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sinful Temptation (Mass Market Paperback)
Ann Christopher continues her Twins Of Sin series with Sinful Temptation.
Antonios Davies has returned from war a haunted man. His family thought he was dead but he was a prisoner for months until he escaped. Now he is back with his family trying to rebuild his life. The one thing that kept him going was the letters he received from Talia. Now he must seek her out to see if the feelings that were coming across in her letters were for real.
Artist Talia Adams fell in love with the letters from Tony Davies. But her fears of him getting hurt or killed made her break off the blossoming relationship. She is floored to find a well and formidable man on her doorstep. Talia is convinced that is he finds out the truth he will run just like the last man in her life.
But the soldier in Tony has his battle plan all worked out and sets to seduce Talia into his life. Tony's plan works all to well and Talia falls into his arms. Will he stay there once he learns Talia's secret?
Sinful Temptation is compelling. The opening of the books with letters between the two characters really got you to know them before they got to know each other. Their relationship wasn't an easy one and both had major life issues to work through but it was a moving experience watching them fall in love. Looking forward to the next book by Ann Christopher

Building Relationship Around Books-Karen Green-Berry, Mar 13 2012
By Karen A. Berry "loves to read" - Published on Amazon.com
Sinful Temptation is a must read. Ms. Christopher pens books of substance and draws on every emotion possible. This book is no exception, and it found me laughing, crying and cheering for this couple. Tony and Talia found intense, unbelievable love, in spite of dealing with PTSD and Hodgkins Lymphoma. I was a fan of Ann Christopher before reading this book and will continue being a huge fan. Thank you Ms. Christopher for creating a story around the perils and triumps of war veterans.
