Thank you NetGalley and Ms. Hawthorne for allowing me to read your book. This is my honest opinion. Let me begin by stating that Sinful is not your typical threesome story. The story is full of murder, suspense, intimacy, loyalty, and revenge. Belle is a young lady who was forced to grow up and became a cop in order to find her parents' killer. Sin is Belle's Lieutenant who has been looking out for her personally and and started to fantasize about her. Xander is a fireman now business man who has been watching out for Belle since she was young. Both men are in love and will do anything for Belle. Belle is trying to find the killer of her parents and is thrown in to another murder investigation. The chemistry between all three will keep you up and trying to figure out what happens next. I could not put this book down until the end, and then I yelled because it ends on a major cliffhanger. I can't wait until Book 2 comes out because I need to find out what happens next! Thank you Ms. Hawthorne and Netgally for introducing me to Belle, Sin, and Xander. I anxiously await the next book.

I have mixed feelings about this book. The story was for the most part interesting but I didn’t care for the cliffhanger ending. I don’t want to say much because that would be a spoiler, but just who are they playing games with?

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Phew...... I seriously underestimated this book!

Sinful should come with a few warnings-
1) Not one but two deliciously alpha males rule this story line,
2)The plot is so hot, twisted and gripping it cant be put down.
3) you will be left in agony awaiting the next book.

My biggest mistake was attempting to read a few chapters at bed time! in the early hours of the morning i finished it with a frustrated sigh and a million questions.
Please please let book 2 come quickly.

Holy hell...

First off I would like to thank Netgalley and Katherine Hawthorne for allowing me to read Sinful. These opinions are my own and I love them!

Where do I begin... from the start I guess. Belle is orphaned and almost killed, but her hero comes to the rescue. Xander a sexy, yet controlled individual will stop at nothing to make sure Belle is safe and protected at all costs. (Even if that means pulling a few strings once in awhile.) Belle refuses to believe her parents are dead, and decides to follow her career in the NYDP. But what she doesn’t know is she will find herself in front of Sin. Sin is a cold predator, who is oddly attracted to Belle. Before she knows it, Belle is caught in between two dangerous men.

Sinful is so sexy; I couldn’t put it down. I found myself wanting to finish it as soon as possible, but at the same time wanting to savor these incredibly sexy moments.

I will say the writing style was a little juvenile at times, but once I got into the groove of things I throughly enjoyed it.

The characters were all incredibly yummy, and held my attention the whole time. I really can’t wait to read the next book, because of this horrible horrible cliffhanger. I need to see the end of it. I also want to see how this whole relationship between Xander, Sin, and Belle works. I’m thinking it will eventually crash and burn. (Team Xander for the win!)

Cheers.

Oh my word! This book was so much more than I expected. From the cover, I somewhat expected it to be a fairly easy read heavily laced with a double trouble type of spice. I couldn't have been more wrong. From the start, this story hit hard with murder, danger, and intrigue. I couldn't believe some of the twists. Even after reading it, I still have so much to figure out! It ends on a huge cliffhanger which left me breathless and desperate for the next book. As for the chemistry, wow, just wow. It was off the charts, and technically, while lots of completely sinfully sexy things happened, the "act" itself never did. Don't get me wrong though, this book was hot, hot, hot, and I can't wait to see where the story goes from here.

Elizabeth was hit by tragedy at the age of 17 and never accepted the police verdict resulting in her joining the NYPD as a detective. Her latest case is complicated as she was in the middle of the nightclub shooting which involved her friends. Her investigation is complicated by her intense attraction to the men tasked with protecting her. Ends on a cliffhanger, intense and sometimes difficult to work out. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This book had me on edge all day. The mystery and back and forth between the three of them is surreal! I love the burning desire they all share together. I cant wait for book 2!

Now let me tell you that I never give five star reviews. I do wonder if my standards are set to high? I just feel that a book has to earn it. There are only five stars! Now, of course I will not give spoilers as I despise knowing before hand and it might sway me to not like a book based on someone else's view. So, that being said, I absolutely loved this book!! It allowed for suspense, drama, romance, strong female characters and OF COURSE ...ALPHA MALES!!!!! That male was plural which to me makes things all the more exciting. I really don't think exciting gives that word justice! This read kept me entranced from the first page. I do read a lot and it takes a lot to keep me going through out a read. I just could not put this one down. I kept trying to figure out who did what. Who had the means and motive? Has Bella's past come back to haunt her? These characters are through and through strong and don't change during the read. They feel like real people and you hurt when they do! Definitely reading the rest of this series and can't wait till the next one releases!! So So so loving this author!!! Definitely putting this author down to read more of her books!!

I received this ARC from the author and publisher at my request via Net Galley! Thank you Net Galley!
