This story completely caught me off guard. I honestly thought it was going to be a cheesy menage , but I was more than pleasantly surprised. I was hooked from the beginning. I loved the mystery and suspense as well as the changing relationships between Belle and Sin and Belle and Xander. This is an extremely fast paced story with a cliffhanger, but I still recommend it.

Good story that's quick and you kind of become involved with the story quite quickly.
It's steamy and you like the heroine and her two main guys even,if there are problems that abound and arise in the meantime. And be warned comes with a cliff hanger, but it'll have you hanging over the edge.

I've never read a story by this author, but I plan on reading more. Bella is caught between Xander who is a sophisticated dream that would never be. Sin forbidden in so many ways was a nightmare waiting to happen. Obviously, she wants them both...Two sexy men...how could this go? A menage romance!

Let me start by saying I'm not into triads / threesomes, but when I saw this book listed in NetGalley the cover and the description intrigued me.

Though I had the book for quite some time on my library I was constantly skipping selecting it as my next read. However, as soon as I took the dive and started reading it I got hooked. I was greedily reading it finding surprisingly interesting the interchange of flirting and adverturous scenes. I also liked the fact that at first Bella builds up her relationships with each of the guys Sin and Xander adding into the suspense. And soon the book reached its end and me left curious of what happens next.

This book turned out as a really pleasant surprise and even if you are not into multirole erotic scenes I would suggest giving it a chance. You may as surprised as I was.

Sexy, fast-paced, and full of action. This isn't just a story about relationships. I'm new to this author and so far I am a fan. There is a major cliffhanger and it definitely leaves you anxious for the next story.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book for an honest review.

I wish I wasn't so disappointed with this book. It had a lot of elements that I usually like but this book failed to deliver. The cop story went on forever with little sexual elements. The story dragged and dragged. The ending was terrible.

Loved this book & can not wait to read the next one! A love triangle & the suspense of a murder investigation made this book hard to put down!

just that. Completely sinful. So much action. So much drama. So many suprise turns. And so much SIN! At one point someone’s lips touched someone else’s (no spoilers) and my poor little box of raisins was all over the floor! I didnt even realize i had jumped out of my chair! Action packed! My only complaint is that i have to wait for book two! I did receive an ARC from NetGalley and i will be checking their site daily for part two....

This book was a different for me because I've never read such a book where 2 men were deeply in love with 1 woman. 1 being a complete alpha male and the other for loving, passionate, and caring, however both very protective of the same woman. Sin wants Belle because she is feisty and it doesn't seem as if her's able to curve this feistiness of her and Xander wants her because they have been friends for a while and he too loves her and neither wants the other with her. Sin and Alex both being friends know that each love Belle, but it seems they are fighting a battle with each other and not wanting the other to have her. I really love the characters and the story line and look forward to reading book 2. I wish there were more than 5 stars that I could give this book

Oh my goodness! This book has it all - love triangles, murder, heat, forbidden trysts and much more! A fantastic genre-traversing read, it kept me on the edge of my seat, and I can't wait to find out more about 'Bella' / Sin / Xander in the next books.

Wow! One heck of a cliffhanger!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The author entertains us with a shocking intro that introduces us to the main characters. Throughout the story we see bits of crime, violence, cop fiction, heated anticipation, dominance, submission, and mystery.

In some instances I felt confused. Name changes. Not acting like cops like we see in other romantic suspense stories. Different POV's got a bit confusing. But SIN... he is damn hot! Mmmm

The story is a two-parter so many questions are left on answered. We get spicy heat times two with the two men in her life but yet the cliffhanger leaves us wondering what really happened in the story. What we think is happening just got changed in a big way.

Highly entertaining read. I really enjoyed this book and had a difficult time putting it down. I cannot wait until part two to find out what the heck is going on. Oh, and to see which guy she ends up with… Or both?

I received Sinful in exchange for an honest review. Before I began the book, there was a disclaimer that this was part one of a series. This is always good to know, and I was prepared for the cliffhanger at the end.

I absolutely loved his book. With many of the menage books, its all about the sexy scenes. Katherine Hawthorne took a great plot with a few surprises, and added just the right amount of menage, keeping the focus on the plot. It was very tastefully written.

I was completely surprised with the cliffhanger, and never saw that coming. Now a the hard part will be waiting for the next book.

Elizabeth was devastated at the age of seventeen when her parents were murdered. Now as a detective with the NYPD she seeks justice for her parents' murder. The chemistry between Belle, Sin and Xander is hot and out of this world. A sizzling read!!

Oh man I hate leaving feedback like this. I makes me feel so guilty but I just had a tough time with this one. Too many inconsistencies for me to really get into it.

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

At the beginning of the story Elizabeth tells us she just met her bff Sofia a month ago and that they became fast friends. So in a month enough drama happened to cause the rest of the story? Not buying it. I don’t want to ruin anything but that just makes no sense to me.

THEN when we fast forward 6 years the MC is friends with a girl named Sofia but now she says they’ve only known each other 2 years. Is it the same girl or a different girl? That question drove me nuts the entire story.

On top of that, we have an MC who became a cop for “revenge” and somehow at 23 years old she’s a detective? Try beat cop. BTW she’s a great cop too. And she’s not a cop because she wants to be it’s only to look into her past.

Then we have the two boys. Dark and broody and sexy but sweet, I guess you could describe them. Both feel like the MC is their possession and they treat her that way. Sin, who at one time is called Alexander Sinclair, then later the same character (Sofia) who introduces him to us asks the MC if his name is Alex or Alexander? WHAT, you’re the person who told us his name is Alexander. I’m so confused. Then you have Xander who just happens to show up to “save” Elizabeth’s life.

It’s amazing to me that this 23 year old detective, who doesn’t trust easily, trusts these 2 characters without question? She can’t tell that these 2 guys are so involved in her life that one is her boss/partner and the other owns the building she lives in and has a place right below her, these don’t raise any warnings her in?

There is a cliff hanger at the end, if you aren’t a fan you may want to wait until the next book comes out before you read this one. I won’t say that I will never recommend this one but it won’t be at the top of my list. I personally don’t need to read the next book but it sure seems like plenty of people are into this one.
