From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Willow Winters, comes a sexy second-chance MC romance.
I took the fall for a crime I didn’t commit, and it cost me everything. Including the only woman I ever loved.
I’m not the man she fell in love with. Four years behind bars made me harder, colder… with a temper I can’t control.
But one look at Kat and nothing else matters. I’m broken without her and a shell of a person I used to be.
She is my one and only. My addiction and my sanity. I could never imagine how time would change everything and how far we’d drift apart…. but she can’t deny this heat between us and she can’t hide the way her body reacts to mine.
Kat was mine once and nothing can ever change that.
I only hope the secrets of the past four years don’t tear us apart the moment I make her mine again.
Willow started writing after having her little girl, Evie, December 2015. All during her pregnancy with Evie she continued to read and she only wanted to read romance. She was reading a book a day — sometimes two.
In January 2016 Willow was staying up late with Evie and just thinking of all these stories. They came to her constantly so she finally sat down and just started writing. She always wanted to do it so she figured, why not? Today Willow cannot be happier for making that decision!

Somewhat of surprised to see W Winter’s writing about a motorcycle club. But hey as long as it’s good read who cares right, but you know that Willow had to give you hints of mafia.
Cillian and Kat, Reed Her father is the head of the Mob His father is the head of the MC Reed was Cillian best friend, but he was also Kat savior
The story is a second chance romance with some MFM Mob/MC, revenge, and heartbreak…. broken soul and so much more
In high school they started dating with approval from both of their father’s.
Cillian’s her first, and she never wanted any other men. Until after that night
Cillian was Vice Prez of the Cavanaugh Crest MC, and her whole world until that night that their world was turn upside down
Cavanaugh Crest MC closed the door on Kat after they believed her father was the rat
Cillian struggle to stay alive in prison for doing 4 year stretch for a crime he did not commit
She has always been mine. Even though she broke my heart. Even after years of being apart. She’s mine. She’ll always be mine.
I've been wanting to read a Willow Winters books forever. But I'm a commitment phobe when it comes to trilogies and series, because I want instant gratification. *sheepish grin* What? At least I own it. But I digress. I have so many of her books on my kindle, but wanted to start with a standalone. So when I saw she'd be releasing a book with the Underground Kings series, I knew this would be my first book of hers. And it did not disappoint. It's a mashup of MC and mafia with a sexy twist.
Cill and Kat were madly in love until one night when everything came crashing down and both their lives were changed irrevocably. Kat's world is turned upside down and Cill spends four years behind bars when he refused to turn on his MC. Now he's out and he's determined to get his woman back, but Kat is not the same sound girl she was when Cill went away. She's got secrets, secrets that can break what little thread they still have.
Admittedly, I fully expected an MF romance reading the blurb. So imagine my surprise at the sexy little twist towards the end. Though my one quibble, perhaps due to the shortness of the story, is it didn't feel fully set up for the sharing element. However, you won't find this girl complaining, because I still enjoyed the hell out of it. There's a little of everything; suspense, angst, emotion, and all of the steam. I read this in one sitting and highly recommend for anyone looking for a steamy MC/Mafia read.

Kat and Cillian were perfect together and had the blessings of their fathers, her's the head of a mob family and his the President of the Cavanaugh Crest Motorcycle Club, until one day when things drastically change and Cillian finds himself in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
Fast forward four years and Cillian is now released from the hell he has endured and wants nothing more than to get his Kat back. But first he needs to know why she stopped visiting him a year ago.
This was a good read with lots of twists and turns, some you'll expect and others you won't. One thing is certain though Cillian and Kat have a chemistry that's undeniable.
I am really enjoying this Underworld Kings Series by Multiple Authors because it introduces readers to new authors. I have read Willow Winters' before but I haven't read her alter ego W. Winters so this gave me a taste of what she writes under that pen name and I really liked it.
I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys Romantic Suspense, Motorcycle Club Romances, Mafia Romances, Second Chance at Love Romances, or Steamy Reads that are a little on the darker side.
Sexy as Sin by W. Winters comes with lots of raw emotions, sinful and passionate moments and action packed storyline. Cillian and Kat have a second chance to complete their love story after some heartbreaking times and it will come with a twist and secret you don't see coming.
Cillian was the VP of his father's MC Cavanaugh Crest and Kat was his love of life. Her father was from mob and they were the ultimate partners. But then the MC is under attack by police and Cillian takes the fall. He is released after four years in prison and he has to get back to Kat and his best friend Reed. But Kat has changed after years of struggle. Can they get their happily ever after. . This story is told from multiple POVs. Cillian is the alpha hero with a broken soul. He is full of anger and resentment as his club has abandoned him and his uncle took over after death of his father only to ruin their club even more. He is the kind of broken man who makes your heart feel all aching and protective. Kat has suffered a lot. She has been heartbroken and lonely and at a loss. Cillian's best friend Reed tried to keep her protected but without Cillian, they were both lost. Kat has a beautiful and fierce heart and she loves Cillian with everything. They were distanced and they have to work out through all the pain. Their love story is the kind written in stars. The author showed the depth and intensity of their love beautifully. They had to beat their enemies and have a completely new start and the ending was so amazing. . If you love sexy and fast paced romance, Sexy as Sin by W. Winters is for you. . I reviewed an early copy voluntarily
Story: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trope: Love triangle Angst: 😱😱😱 Smexy: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Triggers: past miscarriage, sharing
Awesome, quick and smexy read by Willow Winters! This was actually the first book I've read by her, but definitely won't be my last. The characters were wonderful and the storyline had a lot of twists and turns. Fast paced and really well written - I loved it!
Plot Summary : Cillian is not the man he once was and neither is Kat. They both had a past and now it was all over. With Cillian coming out of prison, Kat knows they she can't run from the past anymore because the past is back. Cillian is relentless and he won't rest until he has her back in every way that counts. They need to know what went wrong years ago and he needs her love for that. But he doesn't know that the one woman whom he has loved for so long might be hiding the biggest Secret ever. A secret that can destroy them or change their dynamic forever.
Overall Opinion : Okk lol, I really thought till the very 90% of this book that it was a MF read but it was not. 🤣 So be prepared. There is sharing and it's a MC Romance with a Madia Collab and has all the heat!
I am a huge fan of this author and I loved this standalone dark romance by her. It was everything I wanted and so much more. It was short and spicy. Kay, Reed and Cillian have an amazing tale of love and forgiveness.
Definitely recommending this book to all the dark romance loving people out there!
I’ve read so much from this author that I’ve become somewhat unimpressed. The beginning offered me what I was expecting: a brooding hero, a lost heroine, their bumpy reconnection. But then this book took me by surprise.
First of all, the MC part–though not a lot developped–is kind of new, at least for me. The author mostly writes billionaires and mafia kingpins, so a lowly biker isn’t her usual. We get a bit of how the MC works, because it’s important for the plot, but we don’t see a lot of it.
Then the romance part was unexpected. Not the second chance, with Cillian just out of jail winning back his teenage sweetheart, Kat. Not Kat’s reluctance at first, before she admits she wants the same. Not the way they struggle with what happened during their years apart. What I wasn’t prepared for was the menage romance! Don’t get me wrong, I loved it. It brings the sexy, and it mostly makes sense with the characters’ arc. It would have worked even better if we had more time with the characters, to see more of the separate relationships–Kat and Cill, Kate and Reed, Reed and Cill.
The rest works well. The author writes incredible dialogue scenes, where the characters do things while having a conversation, which gives a little energy to usually static scenes. The dreadful secrets are slowly revealed just when they can have the most impact. There’s not a lot of action but there is some, to create some faster paced moments in between slower introspective scenes.
In conclusion, I found all the best from this author, but it felt too short and too rushed. Cillian, Kat and Reed deserved to have their story told in a longer book. Still a good sexy suspensful read.
Quickie
- Series: standalone (but part of the multi-authors Underworld Kings series, and linked to the Merciless world) - Hashtags: #MC romance #mafia romance #second chance #love triangle #MFM - Triggers: violence and death, slight BDSM - Main couple: Kat & Cillian (& Reed) - Hotness: 5/5 - Romance: 3/5 - + that was HOT! - – maybe a bit too short to give enough depth to the story
I am so fuckin angry, I just wanted a nice romance but then comes in a surprise I wasn't ready for.
You see, it starts with just cill and Kat being all loby doby and cute but suddenly she wants his best friend too*insert scream**
At first when cill found about her and his best friend sleeping together he was mad but at the end of the book he wants to share her. Even Reed said it's a one time thing but he said he wants him with his girl too.(like I would breakup with my boyfriend if he said we gotta date the person we had threesome with, who might be hot, I wouldn't)
“You’re talking like this is more than just a one-time thing,” he states although it’s more a question.
“I might lose her if it’s only me, but together we can have her forever.”-cill (like dude aren't you an alpha male or something?)
The sex was good, I'll give you that but it just doesn't work.
I'm not usually like this and I like reverse harem or books with more than one love interest. This time though it came out of the fucking blue and that pissed me. People like me who read like a person addicted to fucking heroine and we have different moods. Like some days I read the darkest shit ever written and then I read a silly YA. Don't get me wrong I have moments where I wanna read reverse harem or MFM but this book came in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"She was MiNe! MiNe and you were supposed to protect her." Be FORREAL why are y'all fighting over the last box of corn flakes like her personality was so mundane!!
Also this guys anger issues YOOOOO, because trashing a car is going to solve everything...🚩🚩🚩
Tbh I'm only reading these because they were gifted to me... they're not good and I have two more to get through wish me luck...
Sexy as Sin was deliciously dark, sexy, and sinful.
What I love about Willow’s writing the most is how thoroughly plotted her books are. You can tell that she spends time on her books, always giving us an incredibly developed cast of characters with a touch of thrilling suspense. Her books always tie together in a perfect little bow, and she always throws in characters from her other books which is such a fun treat. Sexy as Sin, of course, we no different. I was captivated by Kat & Cillian from the prologue and was immediately thrown into the world of the Cavanaugh MC. The way I felt the love that Kat and Cillian had for each other, despite all of the unfortunate circumstances, made me feel like I was in the book with them. Willow has an immersive writing style that really brings the story to life. My love for her grows with ever new release.
If you love MC romances, second chance romances, or even a little bit of sharing… you need to pick up a copy of Sexy as Sin as soon as it hits retailers. Thank me later. ;)

I wanted to love Sexy as Sin; however, there is an aspect of this story that I am not a fan of. Kat and Cillian are heirs to different organized crime groups and first loves. When a significant event splits the two apart and returns to each other, they are forced to deal with the consequences.

A fabulous story of young love, loss, and revenge! Kat and Cill are high school sweetheart’s, hopelessly and wholeheartedly in love, until tragedy strikes and they ar pushed apart. Reed, Cill’s best friend becomes Kay’s support while Cill is imprisoned but when Cill gets released there is so much tension and too many secrets. Can this childhood love survive the 4 years apart? Beautiful story!
I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Everything that I said below in my original review is still stop on. And listening to it an audio?! HELLO! It’s so juicy and delicious. I love the job that James Cavanaugh and Natalie Eaton do with our main characters! This is the perfect book to listen to while your doing chores around the house, since that’s exactly what I was doing. It’s short, sweet and sexy!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My original review:
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and options are my own.
I really don’t want to say much because I feel like I’ll give something away, but just know you should absolutely read this book. It’s sinfully delicious and SO easy to read. Kat, Cillian and Reed have such great chemistry with each other, it’s apparent from the very beginning. The mystery, suspense and drama was the perfect amount. And the steam? Off the charts. HOT, HOT, HOT! I really enjoyed this story, all the characters and how easily everything flowed along.
Sexy as Sin by W. Winters is a quick and sensual read. This book has great dialogue. Chemistry between the characters is carnal and leaves you wanting more. But it was kind of flat for me as far as storyline and character development goes. The storyline does have forward movement with a mostly satisfying HFN. And I say HFN because I felt like we only got the surface of who the characters and what makes them tick. I know that when writing a shorter novella length story this can happened, but I wanted more of the Motorcycle Club’s dynamic. I wanted to seem more of the dynamic of Reed and Cill’s relationship. Kate was not easy to love I felt like she was easily led a long. I wanted to see more of the “hellcat” side of her. Insight into their inner thoughts and some of their own turmoil would have helped move the story along also. I read this as a standalone so maybe that is why it felt so shallow. Honestly if you are looking for a quick and dirty read you might give this a try.
I was very excited when I read the premise and I knew it would be a romance between a mafia member and a MC member. Buuut, in the end it really felt like a very underwhelmed erotic novella. The plot fell to the sidelines, so the mafia wasn't a strong element. The prologue was definitely very fascinating and captured my attention, but then everything seemed to be going downhill.
I also have to mention a particular twist around 82% that spinned my head so hard that I never saw it coming. Like I'm sorry? What? It didn't make sense to me. Yes, it added extra hot points, but it didn't match the characters or their reactions beforehand. Yeah, I'm sorry but I just wouldn't be able to see that. Anywayyy.. Same, because it had so much potential and it was wasted just for smut scenes that didn't even happen in the mc house or something that had to do with the premise that drew me in initially.
Sexy as Sin is a fast paced, second chance romance revolving around a motorcycle club. It follows Kat, Cillian and Reed after Cillian is released from prison after four years. Although this book was fairly short, I fell for the characters pretty early on in the story. If you have enjoyed Willow’s books in the past, then this one will be no different. It has everything you would expect from Willow’s books: crime syndicates, betrayal, secrets and not to mention, it’s super sexy.
This totally did not go where I thought it would. The rating is all me. I am not a fan of love triangles and we ended up with one, and then the second twist which I didn't see coming. I wouldn't have guessed that twist in a thousand years. If I look past that twisty duo, this was well written and I did enjoy it. It just isn't my cup of tea.
“Sexy as Sin” tells us a story of a young love, loss, and revenge. Kat and Cillian come from very different worlds, but they're good together and are madly in love. They are happy and date during high school, but it all changes when a tragedy strikes, Cillian is arrested, they’re pushed apart and now, Kat is dealing with her whole world being shattered and all alone. Through the 4 years in which Cillian is in jail, his best friend, Reed, becomes Kat’s support, and once he’s released, there's so much tension and secrets around them. Kat’s still in love with Cillian after all this time, but she’s scared because of the secrets, things that happened, and she’s not sure if their love could survive these. This book is nothing like the books I usually go for and the plot is nothing I ever thought I’d like, but wow. I personally enjoyed this story a lot, and couldn't help falling for Cillian, who I definitely consider to be the star of this book.
ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review.
Sexy as Sin is a quick read about a MC and hints of mafia. This book was just okay. I didn’t like Kat. The strong “hellcat” she was referred as didn’t seem to show up until towards the end. I found it odd that Cillian decided he would interject himself into Kat’s world especially since they had stop talking and seeing each other while he was away. There could have been more background on the MC with him. There could have been more in depth storyline about Cillian coming back and his re entry into the MC and all the things Reed revealed to him. The bedroom scene with Reed, Kat and Cillian came out of left field. Cillian went from being angry with Reed and Kat to let’s have a threesome. Although this book just didn’t do it for me, I am still a Willow Winters fan and will continue to read her books. *I received an arc in exchange for an honest review
Sexy as Sin by Willow Winters is a perfect title for this emotional charged book with great characters and chemistry off the charts. In typical Willow fashion there are twist that you never expect. I devoured this book in one sitting. Another great book with new characters to fight over.
I so did not expect this MC romance ride to take me on a path that it took. I felt so deeply for Cillian and Kat. For what they have to suffer and go through even though they accidentally end up being pawns in a much bigger game.
Cillian and Kat have been together and are high school sweethearts even though they come from different worlds. But their fathers being friends, their pairing is the perfect one. They love each madly and Cil is soon even getting ready to make Kat his for forever.
When four years ago a storm comes upon the Cavanaugh Crest MC, never did Kat thought that her entire world would be shattered and she would be facing a new reality all alone.
Cillian is in prison now and what was her life is completely changed now and all her MC family has all but abandoned her. Even Reed, Cil's best friend doesn't speak to her.
But now her one love is back after four years from prison and she's not even aware about it but mere minutes before he arrives on her doorstep with his best friend, Reed.
So begins once the story that Kat had to unwillingly leave behind as Cil is back in her life now. Even though she still loves Cillian with all her hearts, she's scared as there are secrets, things that have happened that Kat is unsure if Cil will accept her or leave her.
AHH..This one was so emotional, as I feel what Cil felt and is still struggling with everything that's happened and getting back to his new life but also struggling with the many changes that have happened.
For me I feel Cil is my hero in these story as even after all that's happened and the hurt and losses he's faced yet he has such a big heart and the way he handles things after knowing Kat's secrets, I loved him for that.
I was so nervous wanting to know what Kat was hiding and THEN THE FREAKING SINFUL TWIST... WOW.. I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT. 😍😍🔥🔥🔥
Ms. Winters has indeed given a very Sinfully Sexy and beautifully Emotional, angst filled, with deep feelings story for sure. I didn't expect to be feeling so much and yet freaking out with that twist that left me wide-eyed and fanning myself with all that heat. AHH.. What a wild ride. Loved loved this one. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This book is about Kat also called Hellcat by Cillian. Cillian and Reed, Cillian’s best friend, are members of Cavanaugh Crest a motorcycle club. One night when Cillian and Kat were at the club when there was an FBI raid and Cillian took the fall for it going away to jail for four years. While he’s in prison Cillian’s father, the head of the club, dies and his uncle Eamon takes over. When Cillian is released from prison he is taken to Kat’s house. Things are strained between them there are secrets to be learned. Reed tries to help Cillian and Kat he’s always been there for Cillian and then for Kat while Cillian was in prison. There is another raid on the club but fortunately nothing is found this time, but this leads Cillian to believe there is a rat amongst them. When he finds out who that rat is pieces begin to fall into place. The ending of the story is a bit of a surprise, but I don’t think we would have it any other way. This was the hottest Willow Winters book yet.
I received a copy of this book by Valentine PR from The Underworld Kings Series to read in exchange for an honest review.
The story is a second chance romance with some MFM Mob/MC
Cillian and Kat have are each other's Ride or die. Until one decision takes Cillian away for 4 years. Along with that decision is alot of hurt. Somethings, Time and Hurt can just simply change people.
Although the story wasn't overly long and I read it in one sitting it definitely has a bit of everything, Lies, intrigue, secrets and It's intense and freaking Hot.
I enjoyed this book. There are moments especially I LOVED more then others!!
Definitely, definitely must read this book by Willow. It's seriously good.
Time definitely hasn’t been kind Kat and Cillian and when’s back from doing time for something he didn’t do he’s about to find out exactly how much has changed in the last four years. A bond they both thought could never be broken has been fractured to a point they may not be able to come back from
