In the latest installment of Jordan's Devil's Rock novels, reporter Gabriella is trapped in a supply closet with her old high school crush, Cruz Walsh, who was imprisoned for years for a crime he didn't commit and—to Gabriella's surprise—has been in love with her since high school.

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.
