The business competitor premise of this book did not do it for me. I gave up very early.

This is the third book in the "Griffin Family Series" I quite enjoyed the first two and still can't wait to read the fourth.. but this one.. I found it a little harder to get into than normal, with this author. I hunted around for this book for a long time, so perhaps I just had super high expectations. There were laughs and I enjoyed the lead characters Shay and Sarala. For what ever reason her name tripped me up throughout the entire book.. not sure why.. This story is still worth a read and I can't wait for Sebastian's.. His book is up next!

Synopsis: Something Sinful is the 3rd book in the Griffin family series by Suzanne Enoch. This is the story of Charlemagne (Shay) Griffin and Sarala Carlisle, a young Englishwoman who was raised in India and then suddenly moved to England when her father unexpectedly assumes a title. Shay is first attracted by her exotic beauty, but underestimates her intelligence when she manages to outwit him in a deal for some rare Chinese silks. They play games for a few days, flirting and bargaining over the silks, until Shay discovers that the silks were not what they seemed and now someone wants him dead.

It's hard to talk too much about this one without giving any important plot twists away, but I really enjoyed it. We were watching a lot of the Firefly tv show when I read this, so I kept picturing the actress who plays Inara in my head as Sarala. I liked seeing the characters from the first 2 books in this series reappear in this story. I can't wait to read Sebastian Griffin's story in the upcoming Sins of a Duke, but it's not due out till June, I believe... ( )
