So I started the journey with Wages of Sin and dove into the world of Cin Craven and 18th century England. Her name wasn't always Cin; in fact she was named Dulcinea Cravin at birth as well as handed down a very rare talent. Dulcinea is a witch, descended from a long and powerful lineage of MacGregor witches. She, like her mother before her, was born with the magic inside her, not merely taught the art of witchcraft. In this first novel and through a series of events Dulcinea will come into her full power, lose the ones she holds dearest, find the man of her dreams and conquer unimaginable evil.
This novel is filled with wicked lust, true love, intoxicating adventure, unbelievable fantasy and of course a werewolf, a demon and vampires, Oh my! It was a pleasure to take this journey back in time with the author and a delight to know there’s more to come.
Please add this to your To-Read list as well as her other 2 novels; Grave Sins & Bound in Sin. They do not disappoint.

The shorts are good also, they fill in the blanks in between 1, 2 and 3.
To put the icing on the cake, Jenna Maclaine is also one of those authors who actually is nice enough to interact with her fans on her social sites.

Hi Jackie
Thanks for the info. Can you tell me which shorts fall where?
I hate missing something when I read a series.

Prequels are in the following per Jenna:
The Mammoth Book Of Irish Romance contains "The Eternal Warrior" and is Morrigan and High King's story
The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance contains"The Righteous" set in 1675 and is Justine and Devlin's story.
Of course then BOOK 1 Wages of Sin set in 1815.
Strange Brew Anthology has "Dark Sins" short set in 1818 from Cin's world.
BOOK 2 Grave Sins set in 1828.
BOOK 3 Bound by Sin set in 1862.
Huntress Anthology has "Sin Slayer" short set in Cin's World set in 1889
I have only read the Huntress short and do not really think at this point in the chronology of the story and the 2ndry characters that if you do not read them you will be that far behind in the stories when Book 4 comes out. Jenna did a really good job fleshing out back stories in the full length books 1-3 for me, the others are just icing on the cake....
