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 (Griffin Family Series #3)
Lord Charlemagne "Shay" Griffin dances with a dumb hottie, Lady Sarala Carlisle, and brags about an upcoming shipment of silks he's going to make bank on. Except Sarala isn't actually dumb! Just hot! So then they negotiate with makeouts and banter before FEEEEEEEELINGS and also boners.
1. Premise: ok. Writing: decent. Chemistry: solid. HOWEVER.
2. There is some gross fetishization of Indian culture in this, including the fact that Shay repeatedly refers to Sarala as his "Indian princess", emphasizing how exotic she is, and culminating in her wearing traditional "kadeez salwar" [sic] to a ball. I'm clearly no expert on the culture (see: my referring to it as Indian culture to start with), but the very gross idealization of a community that was in the midst of straight colonization by the British during the time period of this novel is...not great. Very bad. Ew.
AND THEN the conflict revolves around the theft of silks from the Chinese emperor which is handled about as well as you might imagine.
3. The sexist shit was a bit much, too. Basically, all women are big dumb-dumbs! They don't know anything! So Shay is able to use them and lose them without issue. Except not Sarala! She's so ~special and ~smart and ~not like other girls!!!
4. Sebastian was ... something in this. I don't know. I think I liked what Enoch was trying to do with him: have a man trying to protect his family from predatory persons. But the actual reality of it is kind of...asshole-y. Dickish. Underwhelming.
