A great collection of gothic love stories that will take you back in time. I absolutely love Erica Ridley’s stories.

Really loving Ridley’s take on paranormal romance. I really enjoy Ridley’s writing in her historical romance series. Her authorial voice is always so sophisticated yet approachable. I appreciate the lean towards historical accuracy and dedication to world building. It’s refreshing to see her branching out and I’m here for it. I highly recommend her. Great spice too. 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

If you enjoy steamy gothic romances, you’re going to fall head over heels for this collection. The characters are unforgettable, and you’ll find it hard to pick a favorite. These weren’t just spicy historical romances, there is plenty of suspense and twists woven into the plot, making this the perfect blending of gothic and romance. I loved curling up with a nice glass of iced tea or wine and diving into each story. (Although I wanted to read all of them in one sitting, I wasn’t able to). I’d definitely recommend this to gothic fiction readers who would like to try out some romance books, or romance lovers who want to walk a little on the darker side.

"Gothic Love Stories" is 4 books in one. And, as with a lot of bundled books, I felt some of them fell a bit flat for me. I thought they were an overall okay read.

Four beautifully written historical romances - loved them! My thanks go to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC in return for my opinion.

As always, Erica Ridley swept me into each story and I could not out them down. All four books in this series were wonderful. Each different from the others, but all full of love, romance and a hint of mystery.

Great, storyline 👏👍I enjoyed the characters very much.. I highly recommend this book.. I am looking forward to reading more books, from this talented author. 😀

Nice quick read. Once I started I did not put it
Down. Love when I can lose myself In a good book. Erica is one of the authors on my go
To shelf.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book in return for an honest review.

Great book. I loved reading it. Very interesting and covers alot of information

What an amazing collection from a wonderful author. A favorite author of mine, I read every one of her books as they are published. I must admit that gothic romance was not one of my genre until this set of books came out. They are fabulous! I’ve read each one, and can attest to the fact that each one is a five star read in their own right! To be able to get them all in one compilation is a treasure!

An excellent trilogy with a blend of gothic and romance. All three books were so good! Filled with suspense, drama, a few twists and romance. I enjoyed reading all of them. Give them a whirl. You will not be disappointed.

- TOO WICKED TO KISS
- TOO SINFUL TO DENY
- TOO TEMPTING TO RESIST
- TOO WANTON TO WED

I thoroughly enjoy Erica Ridley’s books, stories and characters but found this particular series not in my favorite collect. Overall it was difficult to get through and I did not enjoy the stories as much as I thought I would.

Sorry to say that it was a hit and miss for me. 😓

Star rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

With 4 books in one it's a bit difficult to do a rating here. But starting with book one (Too Wicked to Kiss) I am already in love with the series. I absolutely loved this one if not for the overly dramatic ending and the lady not doing what she could have done quickly to resolve the mystery. But the romantic development - awesome. The picnic-scene - priceless!
Reviews on the next books in the series will be published on public book sites as I get to them - as I will for sure!
One can not go wrong with Erica Ridley.

4 stories I enjoyed very much. Each store line was fun to read with characters that were great together. I love Erica Ridley's stories and look forward to more of her books in the future.

A fun read as usual with Erica Ridley. Her characters leap out of the pages and pull you into the story.

Everything that I read by this author is great! These three stories are wonderfully too! Full of romance, twists and wonderful plots.
Historical romance at its best!
Highly recommended!

This was a set of four books which I enjoyed. The first two were longer but just as enjoyable as the shorter ones I always enjoy Erica Ridley's historical novels and do recommend you to read these stories.

This s an excellent collection of stories! Plenty of romance, scorching and sweet moments, intrigue, and mystical elements. I love my historicals with the right hint of darkness and adventure thrown in. Writing is consistent throughout all of the novels, and I adored all of the characters. Plot-wise, I resonated with some stories more than others, but it is still a great series!

4 books in one Arc brings this reader extra time to sit and kick back with a good tale.
A house party, a murder and mysteries to solve bring the reader to castle with Evangeline Pemberton to see how it will turn out. Excellent tale first book.
Susan Stanton crosses paths with smuggler Evan Bothwick in determining the mysteries of her new home.
Daniel Godwin, Lord Stonebury has a second chance with Rebecca Bond when a castle has a new heir and new pathway for these two for a future.
Alistair Waldegrave offers his new governess an escape and safe place however her past still threatens to catch up to her.
Average 4 to 5 stars

Having read a lot of Erica Ridley's Lords and Dukes, I was very happy to receive the Gothic Love Stories Arc, with 4(!) e-books in one. Yay!
Too Wicked to Kiss is the first one, about Evangeline Pemberton who is on the run from her evil stepfather, only to wound up at the haunted castle of the excentric Gavin Lioncroft, rumored to be a murderer. When a murder occurs at the castle, will Evangeline be safe? A wonderful who-dunnit-story with a lot of twists and turns. Four out of five stars from me.
Too sinful to Deny is the second part, which continues with lady Susan Stanton, who we have met at the first part. Because Susan didn't was a very friendly character in the first part I had a lot of issues with connecting to Susan and feel sympathy for her exile. However, Evan Bothwick does an excellent job of creating the correct scenario for you to pick up feelings for Susan as well. Three out of five stars from me.
After two long stories, Too Tempting to Resist is a lot shorter and more fastpaced. We meet Rebecca who needs to find a husband within months to ensure a roof above her head. And although she still has a bruised heart, who can help her better to find a suitor, then with the help of her former friend (and crusher of heart) Daniel, the current Lord of Stonebury? But when they meet, sparks still fly. How to find a husband, when Daniel keeps distracting her? A cute and cozy read: four out of five stars from me.
The last story Too Wanton to Wed just stole my breath. This story is heart wrenching, wonderful and shocking. Alistair Waldegrave is desperately looking for a cure for his nine-year-old daughter Lillian, who is suffering from a rare disease, where she burns from the rays of the sun. Seeing no solution but to keep his daughter locked down in the abbey, to keep her from the sun, he has estranged himself from her. So, when a mysterious woman lands on his doorstep, who happens to be a governess, Alistair takes a leap of faith and hires her on the spot. Violet can't believe her luck: while being on the run from a crime to save an innocent orphan girl, she stumbles upon a very strange and desolate abbey. The owner hires her as a governess for his daughter. Violet and Lillian form an unlikely bond, from the recognizable situation they both are in. As an orphan herself, Violet knows how it feels to long for some companionship and love. Not only from the little girl under her charge, but also from her loving father. But Alistair doesn't think he deserves happiness. But while the bonds within the abbey are slowly growing, so is the danger from outside: both Violet's past and the gossiping of the village are threatening to destroy everything which has been build inside the abbey. Can those broken souls find happiness again? Find out for yourself, don't forget your tissues. Wonderful read! Five out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.
