Sin: Mafia Romance (Beautiful Sinner Series Book 1)

Malcolm and London's story was a glorious discovery! Malcolm is the perfect j/p hero. He is completely devoted to London, ruthless and relentless in his pursuit and protection of her. London is a sweetheart, she deserved Malcolm's devotion. I couldn't be happier that there are more stories in this world. Ten stars for incredible couple!

Malcolm is not a good man. He is at the top of a criminal empire. he isn't looking for a woman but when he first sees London when she comes in for a private dance, he has to have her. Doesn't really matter to him that she is part of a family that is trying to bring him down.London is innocent both in body and in whatever schemes her family is cooking up. Malcolm is all she could want. He protects her and helps her stand on her own.

Really enjoyed this story. This author is still new to me. I read her book Little Lies and loves her writing and her style flows just as well here. Although I love my main men more jealous and possesive than Malcolm was, I couldn’t help but love him. He’s so swoony and protective of her!Some things:-Malcolm is instantly hooked on our h.-H is possessive & protective of h instantly.((From the very first moment he leaves her from his private room in an exclusive club he’s making changes for her life bc she’s his and he won’t share her for anyone else’s eyes. 🙌🏻. I mean I love this!))-Our h is innocent. She’s a V card holder 😍 whose inan bad family situation and trying to find her way out. And here comes dominate alpha Malcolm telling her, that he’s got it all taken care of.-Family drama from the h side(( Malcolm handles this. He works and manipulates all things into London’s favor and he takes care of her issue 👏🏼))-mafia vibes but isn’t mafia.((H is owns the bank and is the bank man. Basically he launders all the criminals money in the cities and even in major cities around the world in his banks and businesses so naturally he’s all powerful))-Super fun side characters-HEA-sooo much sexual tension even thought he is so patient and they don’t do the deed until near like 80%. Trust me you’ll be fine.-Malcolm is really dedicated and so loving. He’s all “anything you want”, “your my purpose”. He takes care of all he can for her, spoils her and is the way he is only because of her and with her which is LOVE ❤️-NO OM/OW drama-no cheating or even interest-not dark, a few bloody stab/torture scenes but nothing bad that I’d consider dark.** if your a lover of possessive, dominate, alpha males like me. This will check so many boxes. This gave me series Rafael from BEAUTY IN LIES SERIES BY ADELAIDE FORREST vibes- IF rafe wasn’t dark, and was super sweet. This is like the non-dark, non-murderous, lighter version lol just the straight dedication lol. Really enjoyed this and plan to read the next and maybe others by this author.

A mafia romance full of love, lies, deception and innocence.Malcom is a leader in the mafia world, and doesn't take disrespect lightly. He's a very dominant personality, and slightly narcissistic. I originally didn't like him at all when the book began, because he was too much of an alpha/dominant personality. London is a fairly meek character, and is very submissive toward Malcom. The two together make a great pair, and have some fun, steamy scenes.This is a stereotypical mafia romance. There was a lot of extra details and character monologues that caused the story to drag. You could skim through several portions of the book and still understand everything that's going on. What saved this book from being a dud is the authors storytelling ability. Even with the cons, I enjoyed the story and would continue reading more from this author.

Spoiler alert!!I loved this story! It was totally instalove-ish but it was so full of them getting to know each other and **sorta spoiler** they didn't consummate until into the 60%ish portion of the book. Yes they fooled around and it was really hot, but the whole thing didn't happen for a long time. And i figure that says a lot about how he was with her. She had a ton of trauma and justifiable trust issues but seemed to trust him almost immediately.Regardless of the steamy and the romance, the plot and suspense was fun to read as well and i loved how the villains? Are they villains or maybe competitors? I don't know, i think villains, even though Malcolm wasn't an angel. Anyway, i loved how they were handled throughout. The blase way he behaved about doling out violent punishment or retribution could be amusing. Especially at the end with Marcus. That's all i will say on that.I look forward to more stories for minor characters.. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I am absolutely, positively in love with this book. It was such an original storyline. I loved that the H was head of a banking empire and not your typical mafioso.In fact I'm not so sure I would clarify this as a mafia romance, but Im ok with that because it was so good. The chemistry between the H and h from the time they met was scorching hot and they didn't even have sex until the 80% mark. The author did an amazing job of continuously adding kindling to this slow burn. Once I started this book I couldn't put it down. Why has it taken me this long to discover this brilliant author? I cannot wait to devour the rest of this series.

PSA: anyone related to me, please cease and desist from reading this review! Yes *nods*, that includes you, Auntie Annette. Go on now, shoo...Is the coast clear?Honestly, there are just some things that your family do not need to know! *snorts*I’ve kinda built this up into a big thing now, haven’t I? *shrugs* Well, here goes.Welcome to the dark side...It’s a not-so-secret secret that I like my BBFs a little bit twisted. I’m not talking bad, I’m talking baaaad *smirks* The ones that give you the shivers, goosebumps (a little bit of fear adds to the thrill, don’t you know *winks*), and have you questioning your sanity – with mutterings to yourself of “I am one sick puppy!” Well, I was a goner for Malcolm Asher from the off. With the flick of his knife, my ovaries gave themselves up in supplication. Now there’s an image... *smirks*For those that don’t know, I’m from Scotland and a malky is a weapon. It’s rhyming slang – Malky Fraser = razor. And, Malcolm is most definitely a deadly weapon. Woe betide anyone who tries to cross Oor Malky (couldn’t help myself). Malcolm does not suffer fools gladly. He’s a man with a code; a questionable code, but a code, nonetheless.Said code is going to be implemented full force with the arrival of one woman in his life...Wowzer! (I’m trying to be polite) Sin is a balls to the wall, electric, suspense-laden, thriller ride of a read. Oh, and did I say hot, sexy and little bit *pinches fingers* (read – a lot) dirty? No?!! Oops, my bad *snorts*It’s the type of read that will have you on the edge of your seat one minute and squirming *winks* the next. Le sigh... I’m TMI’ing again, aren’t I?!Along with Craving Sugar, Sin is going to be added to my all-time favourite books by this author.Malcolm is sinfully delicious – what more do you need to know?

This book was all over the place and I’m still trying to work out why so many amazing reviews. It felt like the second book in a series, like I was meant to know things already. They were later explained but for the first half of the book I was having to reread pages to see if I’d missed something. It was hot don’t get me wrong, Asher was charming and sexy but I was a little bit disappointed with how London was shown to be this strong woman when in actual fact she was quite weak in places. Not sure I’ll be reading the rest in the series!

So well written and just oozes quality. It's a refreshing change to read a possessive alpha who treats his woman well.Only gripe is the authors have done zero research into organised crime so the story lacks realism for me.Can't wait to read on.

Wasn’t sure about this book at first but after reading some of the reviews I gave it a go! And I’m glad a did! Loved the characters the story everything, but my only moan was his name Malcolm! So did not suit him! But other than that loved the book!

It was a enjoyable read with interesting story, believable, likeable characters and right amount of heat. Definitely will read more from this author.
