When Lauren Blakely says this is her dirtiest talker yet? You listen. Because let me tell you, no one thus far in the author's stable of sexy men has even come close to the one and only Ryan Sloan. In fact, I'm still gasping for air at the absolute pleasure this man delivered. And quite content to stay that way I might add.
How this talented author continues to up her game is anyone's guess. The way she seamlessly combines a touching and sensitive story-line with the most sensual and erotic sex scenes completely floors me. Add to that two smart, mature and well-written characters in Ryan and Sophie and you've got the perfect combination for an exquisite book.
Ryan, the dominant alpha male, has certainly met his match in Sophie Winston. Although Sophie is herself a very successful businesswoman, she still craves the man that can both satisfy her mentally as well as in the bedroom. Her willingness to submit is never presented as a weakness. Instead the author thoughtfully allows our heroine to enjoy herself while letting go but is never demeaned for knowing what she wants. Ryan attends to her every need and together their chemistry is explosive. Having already experienced a short or two from prior Blakely books, it's a miracle my Kindle is still working!
With Ryan still trying to come to grips with a crime that was first mentioned in Sweet Sinful Nights and what it has done to him all these years later, it is beautiful to watch as the walls around his heart start to melt as he and Sophie become closer. However, because this incident and the fallout still being felt could jeopardize any sort of happiness, it will be up to both of them to be honest, be strong and face whatever may come.
Part of my love of the author's work is that she will mention characters from previous books, further extending the Blakely family tree. With Sinful Desire we get that and more. I love that Ryan's family plays a prominent role, with Shannon and Brent (from Sweet Sinful Nights) back as well as his two brothers, Colin and Michael. Together, they are all a force not to be messed with and the love and strong admiration they each have for each other made me smile. Even John, Sophie's brother, is a welcome addition to the crew. It's this sense of family, the knowledge that someone has your back, that I have come to both expect and adore. Together with an adorable dog in Johnny Cash, Ryan and Sophie can hopefully have the life they both want so desperately.
I absolutely devoured this book from beginning to end and can't wait to see what book 3 in the series will bring. I can't imagine it getting any hotter but with Lauren Blakely, you just can't rule anything out. The woman is the true master of writing sex with heart.
You need to grab a glass of wine, some extra panties(!), put your feet up and get lost in this journey. You will be bowled over just like I was.
A very solid and wildly sexy 5++++ stars.
