Sweet Sinful Nights by Lauren Blakely
Synopsis:
She was the one who got away… Ten years ago, Brent Nichols let the love of his life slip through his fingers. It’s his greatest regret, especially since she’s all but disappeared. But when the gorgeous and captivating woman walks into his life unexpectedly, he’s determined to win her back. Whatever it takes, he won’t make the same mistake twice. Easier said than done… Shannon Paige has hardened her heart to the man she was once engaged to be married to. After the way he left, and after the hell she’s been through with her checkered family, there’s no way she’s letting him into her life again. The problem is, the second she sees him, he’s more handsome and charming than before. And she’s torn between wanting to fight with him and wanting to sleep with him -- maybe both. Soon they fall into each other’s arms, consumed with a desire that burns through the years. But if these two fiery lovers are going to have a real second chance at this kind of intense, passionate, bone-deep love, he’ll have to give her his whole heart, and she’ll have to give up all the secrets from her messy past. And that messy past is about to spill over into her carefully constructed present…
My Review: 3.5 out of 5
This is the story of reconnecting with the love of your life, it is a nice story and the romance between Brent and Shannon is very hot and heavy.
I did find that the back story of her mother somewhat superfluous to this story. I understand that the author is painting the background for Shannon's childhood and also this mystery to be unravelled over the other books in the series, and I see Book 2 relates to her brother, and that their mother's story is more involved in that book. But I don't know that I care enough about the mother to know what happened. I would have been just as happy if the mother's story was just more of a hardship that Shannon had to face and that she had moved on from adversity. It felt that instead of just making it a hot sexy romance, the author is trying too hard to make it a mystery romance.
All that being said, I still did enjoy the story and the chemistry between Shannon and Brent is sizzling.
Would I read the next in the series or another story by this Author?
I would read others by this author if I liked the synopsis..
Would I recommend someone else to read this story?
If you are looking for a reconnecting with lost love story with a lot of sexy scenes then this is a good book to read.
