"Get the fire extinguishers out, as Saints and
Sinners could raise the heat enough to create some
flames. I, for one, was nearly singed as I read this
erotic tale of lust, love and even hotter sex. This
is the first book I've read by Shawna Moore, but it
won't be the last." -- 5 Angels, Wendi,

"I never read a book that took place in the 20's
before and I have to say, I found this one highly
entertaining! From the dialect of the time (swell,
doll, etc) to the "speakeasies". I loved the
characters and the story. This was a great read and
well worth your time!" -- 5 Unicorns, Teri,

"All this reviewer can say is WOW!! What a great
job Ms. Moore did in crafting a story about the time
in our history when flappers and gangsters ran the
cities. Her colorful descriptions and great
storyline brought to this reviewer’s mind the
rollicking 20’s, as the world then was wild and also
more peaceful. This great author crafted a
wonderful, compelling novel filled with great
characters, a wonderful plot and a background that
made this reviewer’s imagination soar. Her
characters were at times strong-willed, yet also
gentle. They complemented each other perfectly, and
the secondary characters also were crafted
excellently. Ms. Moore’s descriptive words and
multidimensional characters made this a thrilling
story to read. This reviewer thought the sexual
tension would melt the computer screen, so a fire
extinguisher was kept handy just in case of
flare-ups! Ms. Moore’s writing was a thrilling ride
through an era where prohibition was the norm,
gangsters and flappers ruled, and love and hardship
were accepted. From beginning to end, Saints &
Sinners delivers a delightfully wicked ride in the
20’s and delivers a bang at the end. This reviewer
highly recommends Saints & Sinners for a wild
roaring 20’s book that should be in any reader’s
library. This reviewer can hardly wait for Ms.
Moore’s next release to see where it will lead
readers." - Dawn,

"In Moira, Ms.Moore excellently brought and
innocent "flapper" to life, who ingrained morality
fought against her need to experience the excitement
of 1920's New York. Reilly was a wonderful example
of a second generation American breaking from his
family's criminal past to establish a life of his
own, and he wants a good woman beside him. These
characters were well written, and their loves scenes
are so hot that readers will identify and care about
them long after they finish the book. I also liked
how the bad guys were not caricatures. They were
realistic villains who were trying to survive at all
cost in their version of society. The language was
appropriate to the time and never faltered, and the
settings definitely enhanced the storyline. Readers
could feel early 20th century Manhattan. All fans of
historical romance will love SAINTS AND SINNERS and
others will love a thrilling erotic romance. For all
romance readers, this book should be a keeper."

"Take a trip to the 1920's when prohibition was
enforced, and gangsters roamed the streets. SAINTS
AND SINNERS aptly describes the harsh time period
and also the fun times as well, like dancing the
Charleston, and partying in some of the ritziest
clubs with illegal liquor. Reilly and Moira are
strong, well-developed characters that readers can
identify with. Reilly wants out of his uncle's life
and the lifestyle he leads. Moira lives with her
parents who run a grocery store, and she dreams of
someday having her own dress shop. Together, this
couple will come face to face with reality and
discover love. Shawna Moore writes an exciting
romance, vividly described, and with bewitching
characters. SAINTS AND SINNERS is an ideal choice to
curl up on the couch with on a chilly winter night."

"Shawna Moore expertly recreates
the seedy side of New York in the 1920s, complete
with speakeasies, flappers and gangsters, in her
novel SAINTS AND SINNERS. The tawdry setting
immediately comes to life with realistic dialog and
convincing interaction between the characters.
SAINTS AND SINNERS by Shawna Moore portrays the
corruption and decadence of 1920 New York so
realistically that I was totally absorbed." -- 4

"Delving into the world of bootleg
whiskey, secret bawdy clubs, hidden gambling
establishments, and questionable characters, Ms.
Moore takes us on a rollicking journey into the
underbelly of 1923 New York’s speakeasy atmosphere
in her book Saints and Sinners. Sexual tension, so
thick you could cut it with a knife, encompasses the
hero and heroine in this insightful rendition of a
time when the unscrupulous profited from the sale of
whiskey and flesh. Moira, stepping out into the
unknown with firm resolution and gumption, is
determined to make a better life for herself. Reilly
is rough and untamed, sensual and persistent, going
after the woman he desires and doing what he
believes to be right.
Anyone with the love for this era
will enjoy the unabashed sensuality, and
live-life-for-the-moment attitude, portrayed in this
1920's saga. The descriptive broad spectrum of
characters, highlighted by Shawna Moore, offers us
both the best and worst of those times." - 4

"Shawna Moore has concocted an
Irish stew that is really spicy. Her historical
setting livens up things although the book is so hot
it could singe your eyeballs. If you enjoy erotic,
you will enjoy this book. I fell in heat with our
hero with one blink of my imagination." - Brenda
McCoy, Reviewer for
Coffee Time Romance.
"Saints and Sinners is a great
book. The sexual tension is very tense and so thick
you could cut it with a knife. Moira is a great
heroine with a go-get'em attitude that you will
love. Reilly comes off as a real gentleman, but deep
down he's really rugged and sensual. He makes no
excuses for wanting Moira and goes after what he
wants with no holds barred. You do get real insight
into the life of the 1920's and the different people
and style of New York. I think historical fans,
especially the ones with a soft spot for the 1920's
era, will love this book and Shawna Moore's style of
writing." - 4 Hearts, Angel Brewer,
