Without a doubt, one of the best books of erotica that I have ever read.
Sensual, sexual, titilating, explicit, graphic; definitely NOT for the timid, sensitive, or just plain curious; this book is for those of us who are truly jaded. Yum.

Easily one of the best, most fulfilling erotic novels I have read in a long time.
Likable people, interesting time. Good story too.

WOW!!! This book is a jaw dropper and an eye opener for even an avid erotica/romantica reader.
That said, the sex/love scenes between hero and heroine are exciting, emotional, hot-scorching, pleasure moments with a marvelous love story.
I loved Marcus and Venetia. The author gave us two great characters who propel the erotic story to its wonderful conclusion.

Venetia Hamilton is the largely unknown, oldest illegitimate daughter of famed erotic artist Rodesson. When Rodesson's arthritic hands prevent him from painting, Venetia secretly produces his scandalous works. If her father could abstain from gambling and other wicked pursuits, she could easily earn enough to keep her younger sisters respectable. When Marcus Wyndham, the Earl of Trent, unexpectedly appears at her door, Venetia quickly realizes that one of her father's main characters is based on him. Unfortunately, her renderings have made the caricature more realistic than her father's version. Marcus, who doesn't need all of London talking about his licentious ways, informs Venetia that her father's gambling debts have been settled, and her sordid career is over. Although she isn't happy about this, there is little she can do.
After Lydia, her father's mistress, threatens to reveal her secret, Venetia, now without a steady income, believes she can reason with the woman. There's just one problem; Lydia is off to a weekend orgy in the country. Of course, the seductive Earl of Trent, a fixture in her private art and thoughts, could escort Venetia to the infamous party. Against his better judgment, Marcus agrees. Who else will protect the willful and innocent woman? Venetia, however, isn't the only one being blackmailed. Lydia seems to have something on everyone attending the party, including Marcus. In the midst of debauchery, intrigue, and danger, can Marcus protect Venetia...even from himself?
Combining breathtaking sensual abandon and a clever story, Sharon Page's Sin was a joy to read! Ms. Page deftly balances romance, mystery, and explicit sexuality. Often in erotic romance, the rocket hot passion comes at the expense of the story. Not so with Sin. Marus was simply delicious. He is wicked, but he truly cares about Venetia. Venetia was a bit of a contradiction, ready to experience everything, but with no real idea what she's asking. At times her inexperience and stubbornness unnecessarily caused problems, but I thought her character worked well within the story. I was utterly captivated by the lush and vivid story.

This book is very good. There's a plot and some intrigue although the villains were a bit over the top as far as their villainy. If it wasn't obvious from the cover, this is an erotic story. There's all sorts of acts including m/m, m/m/f, and m/f although between the hero and heroine it's always m/f only. You'll need oven mitts to read this story because it's very hot. Both characters are quite open-minded. He surprised me in a certain scene. He does something that you normally don't see in other erotic stories, but it showed me how much he trusted the heroine. It was a moment of great emotional intimacy and that's something often lacking in other erotic stories.
Definitely not a book for teens. Adults who get embarrassed by explicit details shouldn't get this. You'll be blushing all the way to the end.
