I had the opportunity to check out an advance copy of "My Sinful Nights" and a full review is included at the end of this post. The style and tone were very different from what I'm used to reading from Lauren Blakely (it is certainly not a rom-com!), but I still really enjoyed "My Sinful Nights" and would recommend it for fans of contemporary romance and romantic suspense. I plan to continue on with the series and post reviews of the remaining books over the next few months.
About "My Sinful Nights"
A sexy, emotional, heart-stopping romance novel from #1 New York Times Bestselling author Lauren Blakely…
Ten years ago, I let the love of my life slip through my fingers. It’s my greatest regret, especially since she’s all but disappeared. When she walks back into my world unexpectedly, I have one mission — win her back. Whatever it takes.
But the gorgeous, brilliant, tough-as-iron Shannon has secrets of her own, and a family past she’s trying to escape.
Slowly but surely, I break down her walls over our sinful nights together, with a connection more passionate than ever, an intimacy more fiery than it was before.
But the past can only stay behind you for so long. And when the people who want a piece of her family start circling her, I’ll have to prove I’m the man to protect her from her suddenly dangerous present.
Review: "My Sinful Nights"
Lauren Blakely's "My Sinful Nights" had a different style and tone than most of the previous books I've read by Ms. Blakely (it is definitely not a romantic comedy!), but it was well-written and engaging, and I enjoyed it. Main characters Shannon and Brent were likeable and well-developed, and the plot was quite engaging and suspenseful. As details from Shannon's past were slowly revealed, I found it increasingly difficult to put the book down because I wanted to know more about what had happened to her and her family. I knew there had to be more to the story than there seemed to be on the surface.
There is a fair amount of darkness and tragedy to this story, but Ms. Blakely's signature humor still managed to shine through in the sweet and playful moments Shannon and Brent shared in between their more serious conversations and romantic encounters. I particularly loved the little gifts Brent and Shannon exchanged because it showed how much they cared about each other, even after so many years apart. They clearly spent a lot of time thinking about each other and found clever ways to show their love through gifts. I also appreciated Brent's efforts to demonstrate to Shannon that he had changed during their separation and would do a better job balancing work and a personal life going forward.
Overall, "My Sinful Nights" was a compelling read and I would recommend it for all fans of contemporary romance and romantic suspense. I look forward to reading the next book in the series to find out more about Shannon's brothers and the truth about what happened to their father.
