Passion for the Game (Georgian #2)
by Sylvia Day (Goodreads Author)
For the notorious Lady Winter,
seduction and duplicity are required to survive. Cunning and precision are the
tools of pirate Christopher St. John. Pitted against one another, they are a
surprise waiting to happen...
Set A Criminal To Catch A Criminal...
Christopher St. John and Maria, Lady Winter, are infamous in Society for their misdeeds and their charming allures. Wherever they go, scandalized whispers and covetous glances follow. A ruthless pirate and a widow, whose two husbands have met untimely deaths, the wickedly renowned figures are even more intriguing to the authorities. Now they've been set on the most provocative of tasks—St. John is released from prison to learn the "Wintry Widow's" intimate secrets, while Lady Winter is charged with performing a similar deception in reverse. One will succeed. One will hang.
From Ballroom To Bedroom, They're Perfectly Matched...
With the fate of loved ones in the balance, the unlikely couple embarks upon a battle of wills and wits that takes them from glittering ballrooms to the depths of the underworld to the candlelit pleasures of the bedroom. As they fall helpless to a desire and startling affinity neither expected, the deadly web of their subterfuge closes in, forcing them to make a choice. Individual freedom? Or an audacious scheme to keep an impossible yet irresistible love...

Review:
This is my first read by
Sylvia Day.
First a warning to readers
that this book has sexual language and scenes.
I find two very strong
personalities at the beginning of the book but they seem to melt within reach of
each other.
There is substance in this book and I
found it well written. Maria Winter is searching for her half sister who is in
the control of Maria's step-father. Christopher St.
John is a pirate who is spying on Maria because she is believed to kill her two
husbands.
There is a lot of mystery, other characters,
some historical facts and plenty of bedroom scenes. I would have liked it more
without the sex scenes and language but this is my opinion.
I won this book from Sylvia Day and so did want
to read and review. I did find it an interesting read.
I see from other reviews, this book has already
had the characters in previous book but it is a stand alone read.
I will give it a 4 start rating. I will probably
read another book by this author.
