The two [lead characters] face plenty of irrational malevolence from the peripheral characters ... Just keep your eye on the romance, as a hot guy discovers he can be loved for being good, and a good girl discovers she’s been hot all along.

I’ve really been enjoying this contemporary romance series by Sophie Jordan. The earlier entries had more action and suspense than the later ones, and Beautiful Sinner is less about the trials of prison and more about making peace with the past and finding a path to a better future ... [protagonists] Cruz and Gabby have a lot of baggage to overcome. ... Their love scenes are hot and steamy and make Gabby question whether her move back to Austin is really what she wants ...

Beautiful Sinner is entertaining, emotional, and steamy. Sophie Jordan created strong, independent main characters who live for their families. Ms. Jordan provided a unique story, conflict, heat, anticipation, and complicated family dynamics. Beautiful Sinner can be read as a standalone book in this series. Fans of Laura Kaye and Katie Ashley will enjoy Beautiful Sinner.
First crushes get a second chance in Jordan’s explosively sexy second Devil’s Rock contemporary western romance ... Jordan is brilliant at creating vivid descriptions and using flashbacks to connect the lovers ... the foreplay is hotter than Texas summers. Cruz and Gabby are tremendously likable, together and separately, and their unknowingly mutual crush and deep emotional bond will place this masterpiece at the top of any romance reader’s list.
The would-be high school sweethearts prove that being locked up is much hotter when you’re with the one you love—a bold and lusty installment in the series.
