Great book. Couldn't put it down, devoured it in 5 hours. Can't wait to read Gavin's book next!
After I finished TOUCHING SIN I was

Maddox Sinclair is a man that commands attention. Isabel “Star” Bogart shows that some women do what they have to in order to survive. She seems to be hiding something from the reader. That was part of my reason to continually turn the page. I wanted to see if she ever revealed anything to us. With Maddox, I found that in order to really get to know him I probably should have started from book one.
The author makes her story seem real just by the way Isabel acts once Maddox seems to be her knight. But it was how Isabel got to where she is that really grabbed my attention. It was nice to see a connection between them slowly develop – no way you can’t miss the spark that ignites between them. There’s a question that comes up about what is being put in motion here and is Isabel the spark to start the flame.
This book shows that you cannot start a story with assumptions. You can’t assume that just because a storyline is based in a certain town that people are going to act in a certain way. You really need to pay attention to how they behave and what they divulge about themselves. Then we have a guy that will have you wondering if he’s a puppet master pulling our character’s strings. If not a puppet master maybe a conductor and the characters are instruments playing to his tune. He’s another reason that you have to keep reading – to find out his purpose. I was glad that the author wrote a note and placed it at the end because it may have given me expectations instead of me getting to know Maddox and Isabel from the beginning. In a way I’m glad that I didn’t read the first book because our main characters are the reason that I’m now hooked on the Las Vegas Sin series.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
