A Shameful Consquence Carol Marinelli - A Review by Mary Middleton

I read a lot of romances. Most of them are enjoyed, put aside ...forgotten. But not this one.  From the first pages Carol Marinelli hooks the reader into the story. Instantly, you empathise with Constantina, tricked into a loveless marriage from which there seems to be no escape. Then, along comes Nico Eliades and poor Constantina's troubles increase. 
The author leads you through the twists and turns of the plot so competently that you forget the toppling washing pile in the kitchen, that the children need collecting from school and that you have your own half written novel to complete. It's probably best to set aside a weekend where you can be alone with it, undisturbed.
You will live in this story. The characters are convincing, the settings seductive and the sex scenes are wonderful, not so hot as to makes you cringe but warm and sensuous so that you check your watch to see how long it is until your partner gets home.
Wonderful stuff, Ms Marinelli but, please, don't leave us hanging like this, there must be a story to follow for Zanda.
