This was my first book to read by Candace Camp and being the 5th book in the series, His Sinful Touch was not one that I was able to enjoy. I'm a fan of historical romances, but the touch of paranormal / sci fi didn't quite sit well. Maybe if I'd read the series from the beginning it would have been easier to accept.

I was hooked from the start with "His Sinful Touch". Good solid writing by one of the queen's of historical romance.

Candace Camp writes delightful regency romances. This has enough suspense to keep you engaged and wondering if happiness will be found. The series is very engaging.

While no date is ever mentioned, this is very much a *Victorian*, not a Regency romance, with trains, other Victorian technology, Victorian fashions, and - yes - Queen Victoria. An era I love because everything was developing and changing so fast.
Dealing with that old favourite trope - “Romance Novel Amnesia” - your tolerance for a romanticised view of the condition will determine how much you enjoy this book. I was willing to overlook the unrealistic aspects of it to enjoy the characters etc.
This series is based around an eccentric aristocratic family. Again, your enjoyment will depend on how much tolerance you have for eccentricity and slightly non-historical leads and secondary characters.
There is a lot to enjoy here, and it’s nice to have more going on than the romance itself. I enjoyed the atmosphere the author created, and always enjoy a Victorian setting.
This wasn’t my favourite book I’ve ever read, but it made for a slightly different historical romance read. Candace Camp is well-established author for a reason.

Enjoyable, interesting, I look forward to reading more in the series.

In this novel the romance takes a step back. The focus is on Sabrina and Alex investigating her past. Who is she ? How did she end up dressed like a man, in a train, covered in Bruise. The mystery was nice but the romance was very poor. Too bad because Candace Camp writes the best historical romance stories.
