| Fitz Monckton, Duke of Groveland, will let nothing stand in the way of his latest and very lucrative business development. Used to having his way, the duke has yet to encounter anyone who couldn't be bought -- that is until he clashed with the beautiful and very passionate Rosalind St. Vincent whose small bookstore stood in the way of his new venture. Groveland has never met a woman he couldn't charm or seduce to his wicked ways but Rosalind is not about to sell out no matter what the price.
If the lovely lady can't be bought than Groveland decides to tempt her with far more pleasurable fun and the lady in question doesn't seem to be saying no to a little seduction. What starts out as seduction quickly turns to sizzling clashes and obsession. Just who will win this wildly entertaining game of seduction? And just who is seducing who? Susan Johnson once again seduces readers with her wickedly delicious and daring new novel, Gorgeous as Sin. This story showcases the author's ability to use accurate and entertaining historical details to create a setting for the sexual tension and emotional intensity of this wildly erotic tale. The characters are strong, intensely dynamic, and seem to leap out at the reader to captivate their imagination long after the last word is read. The dialogue rings true to the time and is snappy, witty, authoritative, and surprisingly touching at times. The tension and sexual tug of war between Groveland and Rosalind is a scorching roller coaster, thrill-a-minute ride. Their bed play is hot, erotic, and sinfully delicious. The chemistry between the two, whether they are fighting or loving is decadently hot! The devilish twists and turns as the Duke sets out to seduce Rosalind -- all the while he has his barrister setting the stage to ruin her -- will have the reader glued to the pages as the sparks fly in this battle of the sexes. This is truly a book you won't be able to put down once you start reading it. Once again readers will fall under Ms. Johnson's spell with this sizzling hot tale. This is vintage Susan Johnson at her finest. I can't wait for the next book!
