Too Tempting to Resist: Gothic Love Stories, #3

By Erica Ridley

From a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author:

When the new heir inherits a haunted castle, poor relation Miss Rebecca Bond must wed immediately or be out on her ear. The only man she ever loved is summoned to hear the will—but their past ended so badly that they haven't spoken in years. Yet who better than a heartless rake to teach her how to snare a gentleman who appreciates her charms?

Daniel Godwin, Lord Stonebury, regrets nothing more than losing the one woman who treated him like a man, not a title. Fate has given him the perfect pretext to win her trust—even if it means watching her wed someone else. But now that she's back in his life, he'll do anything to convince her to choose him instead...

Reviews for Too Tempting to Resist

[cathygeha · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Too Tempting to Resist by Erica RidleyGothic Romances #3This quick read of novella length sees Miss Rebecca Bond being suddenly without a home after five years living in a haunted castle. With the title passing to someone else she is told by that she will have to marry by the end of the season. Her wish is to take her dowry and live alone but that is not an option. A childhood friend will be coming for the reading of the will and she hopes to learn a bit more about flirtation in hopes that it will assist her in finding a docile complacent husband who will leave her to herself. This is a story of two childhood friends who grew up and away from one another. Their feelings remain strong but the distance between them is great due to the Viscount status of Daniel and the penniless and title-less station of Rebecca. After nearly a decade apart they find there is still chemistry and caring between them BUT is there a way for them to bridge the gap between their status? I enjoyed both characters and their story was fun to read. Thank you to the author. This is my honest review.4 Stars
