A lost identity. A dangerous mystery. And a deep love that can conquer it all.

When a mysterious gentleman arrives on his doorstep, Alexander Moreland is astonished to discover that the stranger is not a gentleman at all, but a beautiful young woman disguised as a man, and in great need of assistance. The woman remembers nothing except her own name, Sabrina, and has only the contents of her pockets as clues to her identity: a handkerchief, a pocket watch, a leather pouch, a torn scrap of paper and a gold ring.

Sabrina is certain that she is on the run from someone, or something—how else to explain the bruises on her face and the pervasive sense of dread she feels? She’s also certain that she trusts Alex to help her, and she can’t deny the sparks that fly between them. As they race through the English countryside, Sabrina and Alex must solve the mystery of Sabrina’s past—before whatever she’s running from catches up to them.

His Sinful Touch is book five in the Mad Moreland series by Candace Camp. When a dark haired beauty disguised as a man turns to Alexander Moreland for help, he is quick to champion her. All she knows is that her first name is Sabrina and that she has been beaten and bruised by someone. Overall, this is a very well written book. But out of the five books in the series that I have read so far, it is not my favorite. There is quite a bit of sex between the hero and heroine. I think Camp missed the mark somewhat with this aspect of Alex and Sabrina’s relationship. Alex is appalled that another man might try to ruin Sabrina’s reputation, but in reality he has done that himself. Sabrina doesn’t seem to wonder if this could be a love match until near the end of the story – another odd aspect. They even travel quite a bit together with no worry of propriety which was highly emphasized during this time period – 1890’s. I did enjoy the change that takes place in Sabrina as she progresses through the story. She seems to begin to discover herself anew. Even though it wasn’t my favorite in the series, I still recommend it. Camp is an excellent author.
