Product Description
From Booklist
Stereotyping can get a person into trouble, but Shay Griffin, Lord Charlemagne, doesn't realize how much until he flirts with an exotic beauty at a ball. Assuming Lady Sarala Anne Carlisle, daughter of the new Marquis of Hanover, is just another British society belle, Shay tries to impress her by bragging about a shipment of silk he is about to buy dirt cheap the next day. Sarala, a clever, successful businesswoman in her beloved India, beats him to the docks, the silk, and a sizable profit. Fate weaves the couple together with a silken cord of danger, intrigue, misfortune, and, eventually, romance. Enoch ventured into the world of contemporary romantic suspense with the successful novels Flirting with Danger (2005) and Don't Look Down (2006). Now, she returns to her delightful series of historical Regencies featuring the Griffin family, following Sin and Sensibility (2004) and An Invitation to Sin (2005) with this entertaining tale.

Book Description
It was lust at first sight . . .
She was a vision, an exotic goddess who floated across the ballroom, conjuring images of warm nights and silk sheets, and Lord Charlemagne Griffin felt lightning shoot straight to his . . . well, he was definitely interested. So the lady isn't exactly the sharpest knife on the rack, as Shay soon discovers, but the generous bosom just above her low neckline more than makes up for it. Before he knows it, Shay is bragging about an impending business deal to impress her . . .
Lady Sarala Carlisle may appear naïve, but too late Shay realizes her unconventional beauty masks a razor-sharp intelligence and flawless instincts—and she'd just bested him! Well, two can play at this game, and one of Shay's many skills is the fine art of seduction.
But in this contest, the only thing to lose is one's heart.

Excellent read...This tale was well-written and with a slightly different twist than most, but utterly enjoyable.Sarala (don't call her Sarah !!) & Charlemagne (Shay) are idealy paired.

It would have been better if.......,
By Misuzmama - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Something Sinful (Mass Market Paperback)
This is my first Enoch book. Overall its pretty good. The characters are likeable and the story line is interesting. What it lacks are sensual love scenes and major drama. Yes, there are some love scenes, but they are not even remotely close to sizzling senuality of a Kleypas or Jeffries book. The drama is a bit too tame, more comical than anything else, not enough tension. The real redeeming quality is the family dynamics of the Griffins. They are an interesting bunch and play a major role in the book.Basically the book is a good read, but not memorable. This one won't stick in your head long after you've read it. Pick this one up at the library instead of buying. 11 of 14 people found the following review helpful

Makes the jump to Brand Name author status!,
By C. Farley "seafaire" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Something Sinful (Mass Market Paperback)
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?

3rd book in the The Griffin Family Series,
By cb - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Something Sinful (Mass Market Paperback)
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! Check out The Griffin Family series: (1) Sin and Sensibility ,(2) An Invitation to Sin and(3) Something Sinful. If you enjoy this genre I would also check out The Lady Lies The Lady Killer and The Lady's Code by Samantha Saxon
