- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Faith Pelly is the oldest sister, however her younger sister is the beautiful one and the one expected to make a good match. Faith has pretty much decided that she like being over looked and thinks that she will probably enjoy living her life as a single woman. This is not a popular view in London in 1810 but it is what Faith thinks she wants. Ian Carmichael, the Earl of Westbrook, has been invited to a house party at the Pelly home in the hopes that he will offer for Faith's younger sister, Margaret. But from the very beginning he has eyes only for Faith. When he finds he in the library looking at an erotic book and her hand between her legs, he knows he has to pursue her. She is a virgin but he is willing to train her if she would like him to. This novella has wonderful fun characters, a plot with a bit of mystery and is fairly fast paced. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Kate Pearce does not disappoint!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5First Sinners by Kate Pearce(Series: Prequel: The Sinners’ Club)Source: PurchaseRating: 4/5 starsThe Sinners’ Club is both fact and fiction in 19th century London. For those who know the club to be fact, it is a place they can go to live out their most sinful of secret desires while pleasuring themselves and others with few restrictions and no judgment. For those who know of the club as a rumor or mere fiction, it is a place of legend, a place where only the most debauched go and only the most deviant of desires are fulfilled. The truth is somewhere in between fact and fiction.Pelly Manor is crumbling but that doesn’t stop Faith Pelly, eldest daughter and potential old maid from loving her home. Faith loves her home and her family but she loves her books and her freedom more – to marry would certainly bring wealth but it would also bring a sort of control over Faith that she has no interest in. Thank the Lord her younger sister, Margaret is only interested in money and marriage; if things go as planned, Margaret’s future husband will bring the Pelly’s money, the manor can be refurbished and, Faith can live out her days as a well-read and well-educated spinster.Ian Carmichael, Earl of Westbrook is known to most in English society. Ian is beautiful thanks to his mother’s Indian heritage and wealthy beyond reason thanks to his deceased English father. Known as the Savage Rake, Ian’s company is constantly sought after by men and women alike. His reputation as an inventive if temporary lover is well known and in certain circles his knack for acquiring knowledge is even better known. Arriving at Pelly Manor under the pretext of courting Margaret, Ian is charged with ferreting out a family member who is exchanging vital state information for gold. While Ian knows little of the Pelly family, his reputation both in an out of the bedroom is justified and he intends to bring down a criminal and return to his life as quickly as possible. Ian’s natural curiosity, his talents and, his reputation make his time at Pelly Manor both exciting and most surprising. Though he certainly admits that Margaret Pelly is pretty, she is far from interesting and not her sister, Faith. In fact, Ian’s first few encounters with Faith Pelly are some of the most interesting, sensual and, erotic moments he has ever experienced. Though he has never, ever considered the idea of settling down, Faith Pelly may just be the adventurous sort of woman he could consider spending his life with. From Faith’s perspective, the idea of life with Ian Carmichael is unfathomable but if that totally ridiculous fantasy were to become a real possibility, then she may just have to change her mind about men and marriage.The Bottom Line: This is the beginning of the Sinners’ Club and I truly wish Kate Pearce had made this read more than just a novella. Faith and Ian are a constant and totally interesting presence in the full-length Sinners’ Club reads and as the founders of the club, their history deserved more than a mere 28,000 words. Length is the only complaint I have about this read. True to form, Kate Pearce offers a good story, better characters and, some pleasantly erotic naughty bits. The founding of the Sinners’ Club is vital to the later reads and to better understand the circumstances under which the club was founded is quite interesting. Ian is sexy as hell and with the ever clever and daring Faith by his side, it is no wonder the Sinners’ Club is a place of naughty legend.
