Helpful Score: 3
This is a short, sizzling read by Carly Phillips. I enjoyed her Chandler brothers series and Hot Zone series. This, however, was a short read for Harlequin and left me a little unfulfilled. The plot seemed a little silly.

Ever since I first read "The Playboy" I have been an avid Carly Phillips fan. So I had to read the Simply Series. Simply Sinful, although definitely not her best work, is a fun and entertaining read. The relationship between Kane and Kayla is sexy and kind of taboo, which just makes it even more fun.
Although, the tortured hero was a little over the top for me, especially how he would be so convinced things wouldn't work out one minute and then be madly in love the next. For some reason I also was not a big fan of Captain Reid, even though he was supposed to be a likable character. I just found him to be kind of annoying. Luckily he is mentioned by other characters more than he actually appears in the book.
I loved Kayla's sister Catherine, every scene between Kane and Cat made me smile. She acts just how a good sister should. I'm halfway through Catherine's book "Simply Scandalous" and am loving it even more than this one. If you are a romance book fan, especially if you are a Carly Phillips fan, then "Simply Sinful" is definitely for you.

I enjoyed reading Simply Sinful as I enjoy most of Carly Phillips books. She mixes romance and a little mystery very well.
Good book, quick read. First in Simply series. Followed by 'Simply Scandalous' & 'Simply Sensual'.
What can be said about Carly Phillips I really like her way of writing. This is a great series of books.
this one is the first of the 3 books goood goooood reading..
Carly Phillips did a great job on this romance novel. Could not put it down.
Such an easy read. It was alluring, sexual and seductive....only took 3 hours to read!!
Cute and flirty
It's the typical romance theme, the investigating the owner of
" an etiquette school".But it's funny and diverting

Wonderful story, great hero who needs to learn not to prejudge.
I really enjoyed this book. It was fun to see a guy not be completely alpha and still get the girl.
This is the most disappointing Carly Phillips book I've ever read (and I've read many of her books). The setting and tools used makes it appear to have been written in the 80's and not published until 2000. I don't mind period pieces, but they should be clear up front. That's not the only reason for my disappointment, though. Ms. Phillips barely develops the characters before they are lusting after each other and this continues without pause with each sentence. Even when the heroine is on the floor with a concussion, the hero is more concerned with her boobs than her injury. Please. This plot is thin and the characters shallow. Don't waste your time.
Romantic, seductive, everything you expect in a Carly Phillips book.
I love Carly Phillips!! She is one of my many,many favorites...
Fun read!
very good
enjoyable, fun
Detective Kane McDermott might be fighting a bad case of burnout, but that doesn't mean he's taking things easy. His latest assignment is to investigate Kayla Luck, to discover if the etiquette school she runs for awkward businessmen is really some kind of escort service. It looks cut-and-dried . . . Until he sets eyes on Kayla. She's smart, but she's also trusting to a fault and the heat that flairs up between them keeps getting in the way of Kane's best intentions. But if Kayla ever suspects his real motives, Kane will be the one who ends up getting burned . . .
Alluring sexual, seductive power at its best.
1st book of 3. Great story. Cop has to investigate woman & falls hard. Read in 1 day. Loved it.
The first book in Ms. Phillips' "Simply" trilogy--yum!
Detective Kane McDermott is assigned the task of finding out if Kayla Luck's etiquette is a front for a escort and sex service. Of course they fall in love. Very light, fun read
a love story between a cop and a business girl.
First in the series.
great book couldn't put it down
Very good book.
A good, fast read.
Very enjoyable light read! I was sorry when I was finished.
#1 in "Simply" trilogy. Fun, sexy romantic suspense.
I enjoy all of Carly Phillips books and this one did not disappoint. I give it 4 stars.
This was a quick fun read....
Simply Sinful is a romance detective type story. Full of witt, full of romance and fun!
Alluring sexual, seductive power at its best. Carly Phillips pens a scorcher...as she envelops readers in a stoy alive with blazing sensuality, two alluring characters, a passionate conflict and a commanding plot.
great author!
