Ms. Enoch's second book in the Griffin Family series is at both turns entertaining and a wee bit frustrating. Although not a brilliant example of what she can create...it is by no means a story you should ignore either.

Caroline Witfeld is a talented artist who wants desperately to be accepted in an art school. Her last chance has presented itself. She will be able to attend a prestigious school...provided she submits a sketch of a Lord with a letter saying that peer was pleased with his drawing. Wonderful...but where is she to find a lord to sit for her? She lives in the country...and they are not as prevalent as one would think. That is until one just so happens to ride up to her front door. When she sees Lord Zachery Griffin she promises herself that he will be her art submission...now she just needs to prove to the rake she really means to draw him and that it's not a chance for seduction...so much for best laid plans.

Zachary Griffin wants to live life on his own terms. Ideally he would like to join the army but his older brother has other ideas. He forces Zachery to rusticate in the country with their aunt. If after this time has passed he will be able to do as he wishes. Well, rusticating in the country is one thing...but its quiet another to be doing so in the house of seven young women...one of which keep staring at him! It's not long before he and Caroline start working together and what starts out as a dread trip to the country takes on a whole new look. Will Zachary be able to walk away from Caroline with his heart or will she manage to steal it?

This was a fine story if one can over look some really sad errors in editing. Although Caroline and her sisters were fun characters...at times the secondary characters over shadowed the romance between Caroline and Zachary. Still, Ms. Enoch has brought to life her make believe world and I look forward to reading her again in the near future.

Lord Zachary Griffin accompanies his aunt on a trek to the Whitfield home where six marriage aged daughters reside. The sisters enjoy his company as Zachary is kind to each one. That is the siblings appreciate the young handsome gentleman's thoughtfulness except Caroline who sees the virtues of his body; she wants to use Zachary as a model to finish a portrait that she believes will provide her admittance to attend an art academy.

As Zachary tutors the young ladies in the art of men, he has his most fun with the serious Caroline teasing her with sensual innuendoes and images to whet her carnal appetite as he poses for her painting. As they talk and share desires and dreams they begin to fall in love, but she has her heart set on art school not a husband; unless he can complete his courting of the reluctant artist.

This is a terrific Regency romance starring a wonderful kindhearted hero, an intriguing hard to catch female and her sisters who want to dine with Zachary as the main course. The humorous story line is character driven with the sisters, each unique, adding escapades and depth to the relationship between the lead pair. Readers will enjoy this charming courtship and look forward to more sisterly escapades.

I was excited to read this new S. Enoch, and I was not dissapointed! This story focuses on Lord Zachary Griffin, a 3rd son whose family loves him but sees him as somewhat undirected. In an attempt to teach him responsibility and patience, and to keep him from joining the military, Zachary's older brother sends him to escort their elderly aunt on a trip to Bath. While on the trip, Aunt Tremaine stops at the home of an old school friend (Sally Witfield) for a visit. This married friend has seven daughters, five of which are "silly" according to their charming, but eccentric father. While staying with the Witfields, Zachary finds himself being avidly pursued by the younger sisters while the oldest sister, Caroline, needs him to sit for a portrait. Caroline (Caro) is an aspiring aritist who has vowed never to marry in order to avoid the meaningless, mundane life of her mother. Instead, she is determined to study under a great artist, and needs only a portrait of a Lord in order to be accepted to an art school in Vienna. As "aimless" Zachary and "focused" Caroline work together to create the portrait and get to know one another in the process, they affect the dreams and wishes of each other and, of course, fall in love. Their building relationship is wonderfully written. Both characters are very likable; Caroline feels almost like a woman of today with her desire to be financially independent and to be recognized for her talent, and Zachary's kind heart and dedication to family endear him to the reader. Enoch keeps the book tantalizing and amusing until the end. I enjoyed this so much, I read it in ONE DAY. I highly recommend this one if you enjoy intelligent characters, witty dialogue, and just the right amount of humor. Yay, Suzanne Enoch! Keep them coming!

This is a fun book. Just what I would expect from Ms Enoch.

Zachary Griffin is the younger brother of a wealthy Duke. He is known for not following through on much of anything. He has had projects and ideas and after a short period of time, he lets them drop. Right now, his idea is to join the Army and go to join Wellington in war. His brother is very afraid that this time he may follow through long enough to get into the Army and be killed.

The plan is to send Zachary to Bath with an elderly aunt. That will keep him out of harm's way long enough for him to come to his senses. At least that is the hope.

When on the road to Bath, his aunt announces that they are making a stop along the way. The person they are visiting happens to be the mother of a bevy of beautiful daughters. Let the games begin.

The daughters are mostly air heads. Not the eldest. Caroline Witfield is a painter. She will be accepted as an apprentice at an art school in Vienna, if she can submit a portrait of a noble person and a letter from that person saying they approve and like the portrait.

We welcome Lord Zachary.

The sisters are all man crazy and their idea of attacking as a group becomes rather tiresome. But, they are funny. Mrs Witfield is desperate to find happy marriages for at least some of her daughters. Mr Witfield is an eccentric inventor and he and Zachary find that there are interests they may share. Their friendship becomes a plan to go into a business together. Zachary has a new idea.

There is an attraction that develops between Caroline and Zachary. They share a love of art, and they both have a silly sense of humor. And physically they are drawn to one another.

Ms Enoch is a very talented writer.
