Erica Ridley learned to read when she was three, which was about the same time she decided to be a writer when she grew up. Over the course of her school years, she graduated from self-illustrated stories written in crayon to dramatic sagas filling reams of spiral notebooks. Now, Erica writes Regency-set historical romances, often with a touch of paranormal. Since becoming active in the writing community, all of her manuscripts have finaled in or won various RWA chapter contests. Erica is also the webmistress of her local writing chapter.
From the first few pages, Ms. Ridley had me within her clasp as her gripping and chilling novel took me from my own home into a story full of suspense, mystery, passion, mayhem, and a setting full of secret tunnels and deceptive characters. Too Wicked To Kiss shows us how one woman running from her own torturous home is thrust into the lives of people surrounded by a past just as dark and deadly as her own. I found myself comparing the dark and enigmatic Gavin to a certain brooding man in another classic gothic novel, Jane Eyre. I absolutely adored Evangeline’s quick wit, unguarded passion, strong nature, and even the cursed gift that allows her to see into someone’s memories with a simple touch. As the passion and storyline unfolds, the reader will find themselves questioning who the murderer is until the very end…when all will be revealed.
