Sinful
Sinful Surrender Quartet #1
by Katherine Hawthorne
Xander was a dream that would never be.
One catastrophic night left me orphaned at the age of seventeen. Hunted by a murderer, Xander saved me from the pits of hell, braving a fire that would have ended my life. Hiding me from a killer, he became my protector, my best friend, but never anything more.
Sin was a nightmare waiting to happen.
Six years later, a friend is murdered at the hottest nightclub in Manhattan, again thrusting me into a killer’s crosshairs. Now a detective with the NYPD, I refuse to hide, unyielding in my pursuit of justice, which has eluded me for so long. Determined to keep me safe, Sin forces me from the case. Defying him at every turn, our contentious relationship finally explodes in the most scandalous way conceivable, leaving me devastated.
I wanted them both.
Xander, sophisticated and elegant. My hero, the man who owns my heart. Sin, dominating alpha-male. My lieutenant, forbidden in so many ways. One dangerous kiss changes everything, catapulting me into a war between the two, neither of them willing to let me go. I become a pawn in their game until they join forces in a way I never saw coming. But lies and deception threaten to destroy us, leading to a betrayal that cuts so deep, I wonder if I’ll ever survive.

Momma Says: 2 stars⭐⭐
Sinful is a mix of dramatic, tragic, suspenseful, and sexy. A combination that I generally like, but try as I might, I just couldn't connect with this one. I don't know exactly what it was about Belle, but I never warmed up to her and I didn't feel the chemistry that should've been there between her and either of the men in her life. The story is certainly steamy, but without chemistry, it's just one more steamy scene. There was just something about Belle that put me off and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what Xander and Sin were so obsessed over. From the blurb and the reviews I've seen, I had high hopes for this story, and I'm clearly in the minority, so I'm just going to chalk this one up to not the book for me. My recommendation would be to check this one out for yourself, but heed the cliffy warning because it's a big one.
