It has been a long time since a book has held my interest from start to finish. Deadly Sins is a heart stopping romantic suspense that will leave you craving more.While this is book 2 in the "Callahan's" series, it may be read as a standalone. Gotta rustle up book 1.

Sky O'Brien is the type of alpha female that as a reader I love to encounter. She is both witty and intense in her passions. Tragedy has struck her life more than once. She know that monster do really exist and to catch a monster she must play the bait, once again. But what she doesn't count on is her intense attraction to the one man that could be her destruction.

Ms. Leigh is a master in developing alpha males that personify the word and Logan Callahan is all male and show more totally fierce in his passion. Though years of forced isolation have hardened his heart, Logan is about to experience his worst nightmare; in the form of a slip of a woman named, Skye.

The story-line itself is wrought with mystery and deceptions. There is a killer among us, yet Ms. Leigh successfully manages to mask his identity. It's you typical sleeping town, full of historical significances and a whole lot of secrets, prejudices and jealousy.

Romantically, the book is overcharged with unfulfilled longing and desire by both Logan and Skye. Their dance is dance is erotic and frustrating. Just the way we like it. Though they are borderline animistic their passion, they are also tender in their need to protect those they care about.

I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

So, I swore off Lora Leigh with the last book I read, Secret Sins. It was just so terrible, so sloppy, I could not imagine picking up another. I was plowing through my TBR pile (really a mountain) and found this book buried somewhere. As long as I already had the book, I figured I would read it. The good news is that it was much better than Secret Sins. The not so good news is that it is still not very good. Nothing held me, things were repeated over and over and over and over. This should have been about 200 pages, and it would have been much better. Normally these sorts of books take me a couple days to read. This took a month. I kept putting it down and not really caring about picking it up again. Lora, I know I came back, but this show more time I think we are really over. show less

I enjoyed this second book in the series. The only problem I had was that there were so many sex scenes that the mystery and suspense were mostly overlooked. I enjoy sex scenes, and these were well written, but in this book there were so many that they became repetitive and boring.

This book had some steamy scenes and I wasn't a fan of the ending because it was too unrealistic. However, I may pick up the 3rd book of the series to see how the main conflict with the family gets resolved.

It was a decent read. However, no clues were given on who is behind it all. Also the author seems to have a standard format she uses now. So the stories are all basically the same with a few details different. I also thought there were only going to be 3 books in this series. Well the 3rd book is not about the last cousin, it's about the sheriff. That means at least 2 more books before we know who is behind it. I'm beginning to think this series is not worth reading.
