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.

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.

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.

Gothic Love Stories is a captivatingly delightful read from the very first page to the end. This book is full of remarkable characters, clever dialogue, and laugh-out-loud situations. I couldn’t put it down and neither will you. Miss Ridley knows how to keep her readers wanting more!

“Gothic Love Stories” by Erica Ridley.
- 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.

This compilation of four stories in one book is very good. As usual, Erica Ridley pulled me in from page one with her wonderful character development. Plenty of suspense, intrigue, and steamy romance to keep me turning page after page. Erica Ridley is an auto buy for me. I usually don’t read gothic romance but glad I took a chance on this one. I doubt you’ll be disappointed with this book. Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for allowing me to read and review. Very highly recommend.

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

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!
