Something Sinful (The Griffin Family)

After reading the trainwreck of Sebastian's story, I needed to comment on this book! This story was wonderfully written, and I just loved that there was mention of another country (India) and the British response to it. When Sarala speaks about her home, I thought it was wonderfully written and like Shay I felt as if I could imagine it as well (images on India in a Regency! I love it!) I also liked that Sarala's wit and intelligence was a perfect complement to Shay's character. Good job Ms. Enoch! Sebastian's part was wonderfully well written as well..he was aloof and suspicious of Sarala but without being a total jerk, and it certainly heightened my desire to read his story. (My thoughts on that is in another review!)

Once again Suzanne Enouch dazzles! The Griffin Family strikes again! Sarala is a terrific character -- independent and strong. And Shay is a charming rake -- like all of Enoch's heros, he is sexy and roguish. The story is fast and exciting and never falters. This is one not to be missed!

It's been a while since I found authors I could buy just on name alone and a long history of good stories worth the time and $$$ spent. This author with a charming, clever regenchy-inspired yarn is now at that point. The story combines the history of English living in India and working for the famed East India Company with an arrogant, successful English noble family doing the season in London. The two players--pleasantly and fairly equally matched --for the time period-- meet and conduct a romance over precious silks, the ability to negotiate a solid business transaction all laid over with international intrigue and assassins. The sensuality is fairly light, although a frank look at the idea of a double-standard of bedroom behavior for men and women is adressed. A fine read to enjoy while relaxing and renewing oneself for the next task--where did all those servants go?

Something Sinful by Suzanne Enoch I think was my favorite so far. Shay finds himself making business deals with a chit aka Lady Sarala Charlisle. This book has a nice mix of romance, danger and a strong women. I can't wait for the next Griffin story!

The first time Lord Charlemagne "Shay" Griffin saw her glide across the ballroom he thought he would die from the excess palpitations of his heart. Based on her voluptuous body, he assumes she will be all glitter and no substance, the way he likes his women. After meeting Lady Sarala Carlisle, he tries to impress her with his business acumen and a deal he is about to make involving silks. Not long afterward to his shock, he realizes how intelligent she is when she buys the silk before he can. Shay now knows Sarala hides her brains behind her dazzling beauty. Still he applauds her for beating him at his game; but also vows to seduce her until she and the silks are his. Neither anticipated the danger the ownership of the silks prove to be as Chinese warriors claim the items are sacred. The sequel to the amusing An Invitation to Sin is another rousing Regency romance starring an intelligent opportunistic female and another Griffin meeting his better. The story line is a typical gender battle as the hero tries every seductive trick in the book and a few not listed to obtain the silk that the lady bought thanks to his bragging and misunderstanding the intelligence of a female. Fans will appreciate these loving combatants who together as a team show why England became the first in world trade in the nineteenth century. This is a delightful reading experience.
