A spooky manor, smugglers on the prowl, and sparkling banter make Too Sinful to Deny a delightfully chaotic blend of suspense, humor, and romance.
My Rating
Book Review
Erica Ridley is my go-to author for happy reading. Her books, irrespective of the plot, always manage to bring a smile to my face, and Too Sinful to Deny is no exception. Honestly, this is not a book that one should smile about with all the ghosts troubling Susan and the gothic manor house with its spooky and terrifying butler, and her absent aunt adding to the troubles. Then there are the smugglers led by Evan Bothwick hell bent on discovering his brother’s murderer.
There’s chaos with a whole host of characters including the ghosts and Susan finding herself at a loss unable to trust anyone and all she wants is for her parents to send her some money so she can get back to the bustle of London.
Susan’s characterization didn’t work really well for me, she is kind of jumbled up and her thoughts always felt kind of muddled, yes she’s intent on escape but she keeps doing hoola loops around with one option on the other adding to the confusion. The plot has quite a lot going on, what with smuggling, murders, and also abuse both physical and mental tortures coming into play. The banter between Evan and Susan was like always with the author cracking with a spark of its own.
Easy and quite a quick fun read, Erica Ridley keeps the suspense high with lovely bits of humor and romance in Too Sinful To Deny.

But Susan has a secret of her own—a special gift that renders her privy to the darkest mysteries lurking within the walls of the manor and in the labyrinthine cellars beneath. And the only man who can help her is the very rogue she would do anything to be able to resist…
