Customer Reviews

Best of the series -- 4 3/4

I can relate to both heroine and hero. They seemed very real although the other sisters were a little too much.

Delightful Seduction

With each book written Suzanne Enoch gets better and better. Everyone of her books is a delight to read. An Invitation to Sin is definitely one of her best. Never has seduction been written so masterfully, as each page is one to savor. The reader feels bereft when the book is over. Ah, but not for long, as this is a series and another will soon follow. Lord Zachary Griffin has got to be one of the sexiest men alive and Caroline Witfield is his perfect mate, a beautiful, but strong woman. No flighty characters here, other than the crazy relatives, which makes the lighter scenes so much fun. The combination of art and seduction is volcanic. I do not think I will ever look at paints again without thinking of that blazing love scene in Lord Griffin's parlor. A definite 9 out of 10 on the sensual scale. A definite keeper and one to read over and over again.

Wonderfully written with just the right emotional touches

An Invitation to Sin possesses everything for a good, satisfying read. This book is sharp and fast-moving. This was a very romantic read. The push and pull between Caroline and Zachary will keep readers glued to the pages if only to see when these two people will finally be able to act on their feelings. Suzanne Enoch knowledge of the period paints such vivid pictures that her readers feel they're a part of the action, and the underlying sexual tension will leave you squirming in your chair. If you long to be swept into the lives of two enchanting people, I highly recommend this one. The love scenes are ample & steamy, and the plot is a good one. I enjoyed this novel from beginning to end. This was just the kind of romance novel I love. There are interesting plot twists and we get to know several secondary characters well. The secondary characters are not boring. The chemistry between Caroline and Zachary was very sensual and immediate. Wonderful love story, great characters with an emotionally scarred hero and strong but vulnerable heroine, unique setting, intriguing plot, heart-tugging emotion, excellent writing, intense sensual love scenes, and a superb ending. The plot was interesting and it kept you interested in what was going to happen next. I love how Zachary teaches Caroline's sisters to catch a man and how Zachary wants the one sister who doesn't think she needs a man. This my first book I have read from Suzanne Enoch. I'm looking forward to read more.

Loved it -- couldn't put it down!

I was excited to read this new S. Enoch, and I was not dissapointed! This story focuses on Lord Zachary Griffin, a 3rd son whose family loves him but sees him as somewhat undirected. In an attempt to teach him responsibility and patience, and to keep him from joining the military, Zachary's older brother sends him to escort their elderly aunt on a trip to Bath. While on the trip, Aunt Tremaine stops at the home of an old school friend (Sally Witfield) for a visit. This married friend has seven daughters, five of which are "silly" according to their charming, but eccentric father. While staying with the Witfields, Zachary finds himself being avidly pursued by the younger sisters while the oldest sister, Caroline, needs him to sit for a portrait. Caroline (Caro) is an aspiring aritist who has vowed never to marry in order to avoid the meaningless, mundane life of her mother. Instead, she is determined to study under a great artist, and needs only a portrait of a Lord in order to be accepted to an art school in Vienna. As "aimless" Zachary and "focused" Caroline work together to create the portrait and get to know one another in the process, they affect the dreams and wishes of each other and, of course, fall in love. Their building relationship is wonderfully written. Both characters are very likable; Caroline feels almost like a woman of today with her desire to be financially independent and to be recognized for her talent, and Zachary's kind heart and dedication to family endear him to the reader. Enoch keeps the book tantalizing and amusing until the end. I enjoyed this so much, I read it in ONE DAY. I highly recommend this one if you enjoy intelligent characters, witty dialogue, and just the right amount of humor. Yay, Suzanne Enoch! Keep them coming!

terrific Regency romance

Lord Zachary Griffin accompanies his aunt on a trek to the Whitfield home where six marriage aged daughters reside. The sisters enjoy his company as Zachary is kind to each one. That is the siblings appreciate the young handsome gentleman's thoughtfulness except Caroline who sees the virtues of his body; she wants to use Zachary as a model to finish a portrait that she believes will provide her admittance to attend an art academy. As Zachary tutors the young ladies in the art of men, he has his most fun with the serious Caroline teasing her with sensual innuendoes and images to whet her carnal appetite as he poses for her painting. As they talk and share desires and dreams they begin to fall in love, but she has her heart set on art school not a husband; unless he can complete his courting of the reluctant artist. This is a terrific Regency romance starring a wonderful kindhearted hero, an intriguing hard to catch female and her sisters who want to dine with Zachary as the main course. The humorous story line is character driven with the sisters, each unique, adding escapades and depth to the relationship between the lead pair. Readers will enjoy this charming courtship and look forward to more sisterly escapades. Harriet Klausner
