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.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher and author for the ARC for an honest review.
4 stars.
As good as the first book. Well written, captivating, easy to read. I will read the next one if there is another one in this series!
Review shared online.
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!!!!
I recently read SINFUL and was eager to read SENSUOUS, the second book of the series. I was lucky enough to be granted a copy from NetGalley and BooksGoSocial to read and review. Here is my honest review in my own words.
Well…. what can I say? Sensuous is a steaming hot sequel. Just what I needed after that SINFUL cliffhanger.
This is part two of a four-part story telling the tale of an exceptionally erotic threesome - a relationship between a woman and two men. Two men who she trusted completely until she received information that makes her question everything she thinks she knows!
The story is a romantic suspense, a heart-pumping all-action thriller, and so much more. There are many twists and turns, unexpected events - it is a fascinating mesmerising high-speed ride!
Katherine Hawthorne, your writing is fantastic and pulls the reader into the page! … but may we ask that you please write faster…. we need the next book!
Sensuous by Katherine Hawthorne, book two in the Sinful Surrender Quartet series. Twists and turns and kept me reading, a high point that left me hanging at the end. Can't wait to read the next in this spicy quartet and more by this author.
This was a fantastic read. Twisted and very suspenseful and left you on the edge of your seat. This book had a lot of action and a real page turner. very sensual and passionate. Cant wait to read more.
The second book in the series starts off a little slow but definitely maintains the sexy, dangerous aspect that was so addicting in the first book. Can't wait to see what comes next!
I took my time reading this book because I DID NOT WANT IT TO END!!!! For me there are..not enough stars!!!! This series has me hook, line , and sinker! The story line of who did it and Belle and her persistent nature. She is strong and vulnerable at the same time. Even after everything she has been through she still trusts these two men to protect her and finally falls hard for both Sin and Xander. She loves both of them, but this book really takes you for a ride! The drops and revelations are crazy good and I just want more!!!! Sin has a way to make Belle feel bad and after everything that has hAppened throughout this book I find her right where she should be. The feelings I have are heartbreaking!!! Loved this read and I find myself very much impatient to read the next book in this series!
Withdrawal symptoms from a GREAT BOOK are horrendous!!
I received this ARC from the author via Net Galley for my honest review. This review is solely my own opinion. Thank you to the author and Net Galley!
Sensuous by Katherine Hawthorne is book Two in the Sinful Surrender Quartet series. This is the story of Alex Sinclaire, Xander Phoenix and Elizabeth Sullivan aka Isabella 'Belle' Saint. This picks up with Xander keeping Belle under protection and Alex fighting to get back in with her. Belle has feelings for both men but she is starting to not trust either. Both are fighting to keep her but they are fighting each other too for her. Another exciting storyline into their building story...this does end with a cliffhanger to set up for the next installment into their growing storyline.
