Description:
Andrew Rossiter has used his gorgeous body and angelic face for all they’re worth—shocking the proper, seducing the willing, and pleasuring the wealthy. But with a young son depending on him for rescue, suddenly discretion is far more important than desire. He’ll have to quench his desires—fast. And he’ll have to find somewhere his scandalous reputation hasn’t yet reached…

Miss Gemma Peartree seems like a plain, virginal governess—or so she hopes. No matter how many sparks fly between them, she has too much to hide to catch Andrew’s eye. But with a stormy Scottish winter driving them together, it will be hard to keep her secrets. Especially when Andrew feels he has found the woman who can restore his soul—one kiss at a time

Master of Sin is the fourth and final installment of the Courtesan Court Trilogy. I am glad that Ms. Robinson chose to write one more so that we readers could see that the tragic Andrew Rossiter also gets to have an HEA. The nice thing about this book is that even if you haven’t read the other books in this series, you won’t be in the dark too much, but if you’re OCD like me, you’ll want to read the other three. (They really are rather good!)

Master of Sin is the story of gigolo extraordinaire, Andrew Rossiter, and the redemption he finds in rescuing his son and in the open acceptance of Gemma. Andrew’s life has been extremely hard and after his mother abandoned him at the age of seven he was taken in and sexually abused by his “guardian.” From that point Andrew learned to use what God gave him, his looks and charm, to make sure he was never dependent on anyone again. Even though Andrew has done well for himself and has more money than he can ever spend, fate still seems to have it out for Andrew. When things go to hell in a hand basket, Andrew rescues his son and runs. Andrew wants the absolute best for his son, not the life that he has lived for the past twenty-five years. Enter the mysterious Gemma Peartree, multilingual nanny, and life on a godforsaken island off northern Scotland.

In many ways, this story is about coming to terms with your past and learning to live in the present and take refuge and joy in the good things that you have been given. Gemma’s past isn’t as pure as she would like Andrew to think, but when she sees that what he truly needs is the open acceptance that only she can give, Gemma gives it freely. Now the two of them just have to figure out how to make it work. Redemption and love weave this story together, toss in a cute Italian speaking toddler to the mix and you have a great tale of love that conquers all! If you like historical romance, brooding heroes and forward thinking heroines, than this story is for you.
