Portrait artist Kelly Watson keeps her relationships simple and steamy, with no strings attached. She’s had a hard time trusting other people since she was a child, when her father was murdered for trying to blow the whistle on corporate corruption. Nearly twenty years later, Kelly finds herself in the arms of a seductive stranger—the very same man who may have ordered her father’s death. And even as she plays him, using hot sex as a means to revenge, Kelly is tormented by one question: Is she committing the ultimate betrayal?
Caleb Marshall has spent decades forging a high-powered career, rejecting intimacy for the convenience of fast women and cheap thrills. But Kelly intrigues him, pushing commitment buttons he didn’t know he had. Still, something is wrong. Despite their physical and emotional chemistry, Caleb feels the fear inside of her. Now the only way to keep her safe is coming clean, before secrets and lies destroy their connection—no matter how deep, intense, and addictive it may be.

4 'conflicted' stars!
Sweet The Sin follows Kelly Watson & Caleb Marshall. Kelly, who is a photographer - she is also a very traumatized woman, finding her murdered father will do that, and to say she doesn't trust easy would be an understatement -- she doesn't trust, period.
Caleb Marshall, older, alpha male, ruthless, and rich - yes, he is the CEO if the company Kelly's father worked for prior to his murder -- and he could be involved in her dad's death.
So in essence Claire Kent has brought us a damaged woman and an opportunistic man -- yeah, not the perfect relationship by far! This could be why I had a hard time connecting with this book -- it seemed doomed from the get go, and the way they meet - a little convoluted. The sex was hot and plentiful.
While reading this book I had varied interest. The plot was there but I just didn't know if I would ever connect with the characters. But, alas I was able to connect even if it was out of curiosity to see how this book would end -- and then, a cliffhanger!
While I didn't hate this book - I didn't love it either, and I am hoping this is the way the author wants it to lead up to book 2. As it is Sweet The Sin is a good revenge to lovers story.
While I didn't hate this book - I didn't love it either, and I am hoping this is the way the author wants it to lead up to book 2. As it is Sweet The Sin is a good revenge to lovers story.
If I had to sum this book up in three words they would be: Ruthless. Revenge. Lust.
