After yet another beau was chased away by her three over-protective brothers, Lady Eleanor Griffin decides she's had enough. If she is to become a boring society wife, then she's going to have some fun first. But when her adventure turns into more than what she bargained for, she is grateful for her knight in shining armour who rescued her from what was sure to become a scandalous situation.
Sin and Sensibility reminds me of Eloisa James’ Pleasure for Pleasure if only because the hero is so deliciously debauched. There is something about those rakehell heroes that thrills my heart to read them reformed. They do say that women love bad boys, and I confess (at least when reading hist-ro) I am guilty as charged.
The sister of a Duke wants to shed her mask of respectability and enjoy a little freedom. Valentine Corbett, an unlikely friend of the stuffy Duke, is set to the task of keeping tabs on Nell. Naturally, its a recipe for scandal. But who would guess that the hellion Valentine would be sensible, while the debutante Nell be so sinful….

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.
Something Sinful is the third book in this series (couldn’t find the second, blasted bookshop!) and features Nell’s big brother Charlemagne. More focused on business than pleasure, Shay isn’t prepared to fall headlong for a slip of a girl fresh off the boat from India (and with the business acumen to best even him!). There is drama and danger and more than a little lighthearted flirtation. Although Shay is not as yummy as Valentine and the heroine has a tendency to irritate me (so she’s homesick for India, but it does drag on a bit!) this was a solid extension of the Griffin clan series.
Hopefully you will be more fortunate in your local bookshop and be able to check out the whole series. Alternatively, you can find them all easily online as ebooks.
