Seven Deadly Sins
review 1: Kafanızı boşaltmak istediğiniz bir zamanda okuyabileceğiniz bir kitap.Öyle aman aman beğenmedim ama idare ederdi.Harlequin tadındaydı bence, tam içine çekmiyor hikaye sizi,eksik bir şeyler hissediyorsunuz ya da ben hissettim.Yazar duyguları yüzeysel anlatmış sanki.Eğer elinizin altında ise boş zamanlarınızda okursunuz ama okumasanızda yokluğunu hissedeceğinizi zannetmiyorum.
review 2: I was intrigued with the idea of a family of 7 siblings each infamous for having a particular vice resulting in the nickname the 7 Deadly sins. I read an excerpt of book 2 which led me to the series where I of course began with book 1 To Sin With a Stranger. I am hopeful that book 2 will have improved character development. I liked the Scottish element a
... morend that after living, breathing and drinking whiskey during years of mourning Sinclair Duke finally recognized his failure to raise responsible heirs and forced his children to succeed in London. I liked the relationship between the siblings with their back and forth dialogue but still loyal and loving. The heroine was not so likeable as annoying. Isobel Carington is the only surviving child of a politician who leads the house of Commons. He has ignored his daughter after the death of his son and his wife's suicide. Not much was mentioned about either of these experiences which deeply affected Isobel. The author didn't explain much which might be why Isobel came off as angry, immature and at times downright shrewish. I know she was written as a commoner but she really didn't have nice manners- the first time we meet her she gets in between Sterling the eldest of the Sinclair siblings and his opponent in a boxing match nearly getting punched. Isobel spouts off about the nonsense of betting when war widows and children could use the money. A noble cause but the wrong place to convince others of it. She often behaves impetuously- slapping Sinclair twice on the face in another scene resulting in bets at Whites that they will/won/t marry. Sinclair likes her spirit and behaves with all the confidence of a huge good-looking Scot who knows he will get what he wants. But I can't figure out why he wanted her in the beginning except for her strong spirit. The siblings all try to help the romance because their welfare is dependent on winning the bet. Another good reads reviewer showed the Elgin marbles which are the scene of Isobel and Sterlings's first encounter. Thankfully because the whole time during that love scene I kept trying to imagine the logistics of it. It is ridiculous. I am going to continue because the book 2 excerpt was enticing and I recently finished another series that improved with book 2. Mea Culpa less
