Super fun quick read. It starts out really dark but doesn’t stay that way. I highly suggest reading these books in order. They are not stand alones.

Sensuous is definitely the right title for this book. I received this via NetGalley, as well as books 3 and 4. I purchased book one so I would have the full story before reading. Sinful, book one, left a major cliff hanger and I moved right on to Sensuous. This book series is equally suspenseful and steamy. Belle is always getting into trouble but she's got her two fierce protectors, and she can be pretty fierce herself....inside and outside the bedroom.

A devastating betrayal shattered our relationship before it ever began, my attempt to escape going horribly wrong. But telling Xander it’s over proves to be a dangerous mistake, revealing a ruthless side of him I was only beginning to suspect. When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Katherine Hawthorne is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this books.Can't wait for the next book.

Whoooooooo man. Can I get more than 5 🔥 because this one was H O T.
our story features Isabella, Sin (Alex) and Xander. The first is on assignment and the last two are a major distraction.

This book packed a lot of punch and a LOT of heat on just a few short pages. I’m definitely a fan!

Steamy and scorching, this is an enjoyable read, full of twists and turns, on tenterhooks from the first book I was so happy to find out what would happen next. It’s a great sequel but now I need the next yesterday !

A great conclusion to the next book in the series. Two men want her and their need to possess her will threaten to consume them all.

Oh la la. This book is so steamy you need a cold compress. Katherine Hawthorne has done it again with another wonderful story. Can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

This book is a whole lot of NOOOOOOOOOOOOPE.

For most of the book, I was enjoying it a lot more than the first one, because there was an overall better balance of romance and drama (whereas in the first book I felt the drama far outshined the romance parts). There was a pretty good threesome scene as well as a sex scene between Xander and Belle that I thought was well done.

Then comes Belle's sex scene with Sin. I had some issues with Sin in regards to him getting full consent from Belle in the first book, but this book took it way too far in my opinion. In this particular sex scene, everything is going well until Sin tries to get Belle to do something she doesn't want to do (I don't want to get too vulgar, but it does involve butt stuff for lack of a better term). She explicitly tells him to STOP, but his response is "it's too late for that" and something along the lines of "it'll feel good in a second" ARE YOU F*UCKING KIDDING ME??? THAT IS ASSAULT PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

I had to stop reading after that. Idgaf what happens with the plot, because I'm just so pissed at the author and this book in general. BYE FELICIA.

Read the first book Sinful before this one as it is not a standalone. This story picks up where the other left off. Belle no longer trusts Sin or Xander. Both men attempt to keep Belle safe but it puts her in a dangerous position while trying to find answers to what happened to her parents. A heartbreaking answer comes to Belle after she is kidnapped and then brought back to the men. Will the trio be able to move forward from the painful past? A fast, paced mfm story with lots of action in and out of the bedroom. Cliffhanger warning for those who like to know beforehand.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and am leaving a review.

A steamy smoking hot romance book. The title says it all. Smoking hot characters. I loved this book and look forward to reading more from this author.

Overall Sensuous was a good story but there were a few minor things that took away from the story. Good characters.

5 out of 5 stars
Enthralling ending to a great story

The second and final book takes off where the first book, Sinful, left off. Xander, Sin, and Belle's chemistry reaches explosive levels. The author's ability to give you insight into each of the main's characters thoughts makes them relatable and human. The who-did-it plot is suspenseful and full of twists and turns, and the love scenes are steamy, hot fun. My only complaint is that I wish the series wasn't ending!

Love this series!
Sensuous is the second book in the Sinful Surrender series and is just as good, if not better than the first book. It starts where Sinful leaves off. Belle is feeling totally alone. After a betrayal from someone she thought she could rely on no matter what, she is left not knowing who she can trust.
So many twists and turns, so much sexual tension. I was hooked from the start of the book and couldn’t put it down.
A really good series and I cannot wait for the next book, and to read more from this author!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of Sensuous (from NetGalley). All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This book was way better than the first one, and I am now anxiously awaiting the third!!! Delivering more drama than the first and with more back-stories emerging, I definitely enjoyed this novel. I was also pleasantly surprised that Belle seemingly did not really need quite as much rescuing in this one. What a very lucky girl she is! I must also say that I LOVE these male characters--Sin especially. Ending in another cliffhanger, which I also appreciate, is killing me for the sake of one of the main characters. (I refuse to provide spoilers, but I will say that this ending was much tougher to accept without the next book in the series already in my hands!) A big thank you to NetGalley and Katherine Hawthorne for the ARC!

Sensuous is the second book in the Sinful Surrender series by Katherine Hawthorne and is just as good, if not better than the first book. It starts where Sinful leaves off. Belle is feeling totally alone. After a betrayal from someone she thought she could rely on no matter what, she is left not knowing who she can trust. The fact that she is surrounded by bodyguards only adds to this. Are they there for her protection or to keep her a prisoner? She thinks she knows who killed her parents but in proving it she could hurt someone she is coming to love. But at the same time can she really walk away from clearing her father’s name? After all her search for justice has made her the woman she is today.

This story has it all. Murder, mayhem, kidnapping, secret identities, long buried secrets, a love triangle. Two alpha men who love the same woman. I can’t wait to read what’s next in store for Belle.

I was grateful to receive a free copy of Sensuous in Exchange for an honest review. I read the fist book, Sinful, and easily gave it five stars with a surprise cliff hanger ending. I couldn't wait too get my hands on Book 2, Sensuous. It was just as good as the first book. However, I did have to revisit the first book, to recall some of the "finer" details. Once that was done, I was able to delve into the plot once again, and Katherine Hawthorne did not disappoint. The good news is Book 2 reveals the killer (s), but leaves the reader with another dilemma. Once again I will have to wait to see what happen next. in Book 3....... I can hardly wait:-)

I am volunteering to leave a review of this ARC book from NetGalley. This book two of the quartet was even better than the first! I was able to read these two almost back to back and I can tell you it is going to be EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to wait for Numero Tres! Katherine, how wicked of you to do that to your readers! I Love It! Not Waiting Patiently!!!!

Please tell me book 3 is coming soon?!!!! That is not what I was expecting after finishing reading the first book. And this book left me with even more questions. LOVING THIS SERIES!!!!
