Lady Aimee Chaselton has been in love with Reece Hamilton for as long as she can remember but even though they exchanged a most passionate kiss a few months ago, he still doesn't seem interested in her. She has decided to do something about it.

After coming back from the war, Reece founded a shipping company along with Aimee's brother, Charles. Reece holds no title but he's the captain of his own ship, the Sea Emerald. Reece and Charles noticed that recently some papers have gone missing, most likely stolen, from the offices of their company as well as from their homes.

Aimee asks her friends Jennelle and Millie to help her find the thief and endear herself to Reece. The Daring Three, as they have been known since childhood, disguise themselves as men, and go to the London docks. When they're seen by sailors, they flee. But Aimee slips away and lets herself be captured by what she hopes are Reece's crewmen and that they will lead her to him. Upon hearing of Aimee's disappearance, Charles, who is Millie's husband, sends his wife away because he fears something dreadful might happen to her, which she takes badly.

A WOMAN MADE FOR SIN is the second book in the Promises Trilogy and I found it positively superb! The writing is flawless: the language and the vocabulary are so respectful of the era, it doesn't even read like a modern book, but it does not feel old, far from it: it's young, fresh, and I felt as if I was transported to another time and age and I was part of the characters' life. The dialogues are brilliant, the characters are all equally wonderful: colourful and authentic at the same time.

A WOMAN MADE FOR SIN presents a rather unusual structure. Apart from an encounter that occurs in the recent past, the hero and heroine get together about halfway into the book. The chapters alternate between Aimee\'s adventures, Millie who is trying to find out what happened to her friend, Charles who wants to know what\'s happened to his wife and the stolen goods, and Reece on his ship; the stories all converge towards the ending in a most satisfying way. The various stories are so appealing, entertaining and engrossing, it\'s simply a joy to witness what the all characters are doing; we get to know them better and understand their actions; it doesn\'t matter that Reece and Aimee don\'t reunite earlier, it\'s just too much fun getting there. Aimee is just about perfect and yet she is not annoying; she\'s is charming and likeable, as are her friends, and there\'s not a rogue or rake in sight; what a joy! A WOMAN MADE FOR SIN features just about the finest characters I have ever seen in any book, a wonderful story, and is above all magnificently written.
