Description from the publisher:

One look at the towering ocean-side manor that is to be her new home, and exiled socialite Susan Stanton knows: This is a place haunted by secrets, and riddled with menace.

For Susan, there is no escaping the most dangerous element of all—dark-haired smuggler Evan Bothwick, a man whose rakish countenance cannot hide his wicked intent.

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…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TOO SINFUL TO DENY is the second book in the Gothic Love Stories series. Each will stand on its own, but I highly recommend all four.

An old gothic manor on the cliffs of a beach town filled with smugglers and those who enjoy the goods being smuggled into their town. What could go wrong?

Did I mention ghosts? Susan started seeing them after she temporarily died in the Thames River. Moreover, a captain that wants to do more than smuggle – piracy sounds like even more fun to him! Conspiracy and abuse are being hidden in this small town as well.

Susan has to decide who to trust, who to believe, and if her own heart will lead her astray. I have to say, I loved Susan. She’s an absolute brat with a new paranormal talent to figure out while banished to a boring seaside village with no outlets for a society miss. Her answer seems to be to make as much trouble as possible to entertain herself and those around her!

This was a fantastic read with a proper amount of paranormal fun, teasing, passion, and romance. Speaking of romance, let’s mention Evan Bothwick. He is a smuggler with an offer to become a pirate. Is that a line he wants to cross? There is a difference between adventure and murderous greed! He’s also handsome, a gentleman at heart even though he’ll deny it, and a loyal brother. Another character with whom I have fallen deeply in love.

Together, they are fire. They are steam. They are volcanic!

Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
