She's every man's carnal fantasy...and the target of one's revenge. At a gentleman's club, Lea dances as SiNN, her body bared and vulnerable to her male partner, her features hidden behind a mask. To the men watching, she's a sensual enigma, submissive and seductive with no face, name or history. Not even Lea knows her real origins. But a man from the past does, and he wants her dead. Not on the watch of U.S. Marshals Jake Gabriel and Toby Quinn. Commanding and decisive, Jake not only wants Lea's safety, but to have her naked and yielding beneath him. To Toby, she's all he should resist but cannot. Protected by them at a secluded estate, Lea's drawn to their potent masculinity and raw lust. Inviting desire and an emotional connection, she submits to both, surrendering to their shameless hunger along with her own wanton needs. All while a killer edges closer...
I'm an Amazon and international bestselling novelist who writes passionate romance for every taste - 'heat with heart' - for traditional publishers and indie. Booklist, Publisher's Weekly, Romantic Times, and numerous online sites have praised my work. I've won Readers' Choice Awards, was named a finalist in the EPIC competition, received a Book of the Year Award, The Golden Nib Award, awards of merit in the RWA Holt Medallion competitions, and second place in the NEC RWA contests. I'm featured in the Novel and Short Story Writer's Market. Before penning romances, I worked at a major Hollywood production company in Story Direction.
On a less serious note: I'm an admitted and unrepentant chocoholic, brake for Mexican restaurants, and have been known to moan like Meg Ryan in "When Harry Met Sally" while wolfing down tostadas. I've flown a single-engine airplane (freaking scary), rewired an old house using an 'electricity for dummies' book, and am horribly shy despite the hot romances I write.
No one knows who the dancer SINN really is, not even herself. So when two men come to the club that Lea dances at she cannot believe their story. U.S. Marshals Jake and Toby have come to protect Lea from her past, a past she never even knew. With their protection comes something else, something none of them expected. Yet they all know it can never last. They only have a short time to experience the love that they have all been denied all their lives.
Not only is this story a hot read but it also pulled on my heartstrings. Lea and both men endeared themselves to me right from the beginning. Just like Lea, I felt the need to make the men forget their past pain and live in the here and now. I loved the strong connection that the three of them made. The sparks ignited from the moment they laid eyes on each other and grew into so much more as the story progressed making this a wonderful read.
Much of the story is about the relationship that builds between Lea, Toby and Jake but the killer stalking Lea is not about to be left behind. He is more than ready to have his story told as well. Cubrero is one nasty piece of work and is proud of it. The author has done a great job of creating such a dark villain which makes you only want to help Leah as much as the men do.
I really enjoyed the progression of the relationship between Lea and the men. The three find a way to make the best of their situation. Both men are strong and dominant and even though Lea enjoys letting them dominate her she never looses herself and her fiery personality. The men share a unique relationship themselves and I loved the playfulness that comes out between them with Lea.
All of the characters are so full of depth and emotion that they are vividly brought to life. The writing was done so well from the first chapter, I was pulled right into their world, not to be let go until the end. SiNN is worth checking out.
THIS IS WHAT SHE CRAVED—UNRESTRAINED PASSION, NO REGRETS
I always enjoy a story that has mystery, suspense, danger, intense scenes, life, and death scenarios, and then throw in a heaping dose of raw, edgy passion, desire, kink, and forbidden romance. Well, Ms. Tina Donahue delivered all that and more in this romantic suspense thriller
Imagine living your entire life believing one thing only to learn that it was a lie, but that lie was perpetrated to keep you safe. For Lea Baptista, that is the reality. Raised since she was three years old in Foster Care, told her Mother had died and her Grandmother’s health prevented her from caring for her, it is all she ever knew. Along with her best friend, Danielle, also in the foster system, they had dreams and made plans as little girls, and still as adults, are best friends working on making their dreams come true. They have become each other’s family.
“The woman born as Maria Morales and fostered as Lea Baptista performs as SiNN.”
Lea and Danielle both work at an upscale gentleman’s club, The Second Circle, in Phoenix where they are known as SiNN and LuST. They will perform an erotic dance and earn tips, helping them attend college. It is at the club where life changes one night when two US Marshalls, Jake Gabriel, and Toby Quinn, arrive to see SiNN perform and then take her into protective custody. But that isn’t the only one there to see SiNN, Cubrero wants her to seek revenge for the death of his father.
The plot will have Jake, Lea, and Toby going to a secret location, which is owned by Toby, from his late mother. The sexual tension between these three, especially after the erotic performance at the club cannot be ignored. For Lea, she desires them, and she needs a diversion from what is happening. For Jake, he isn’t going to turn down her invitation, but Toby takes longer to get on board.
The story is explicit in details, at the club with the dancing, and with the three of them at their secret hideaway. Knowing that time is against them, that Lea will be taken away and placed in another location, and they won’t see each other again, they take advantage of what little time they have. It is also a time of true confessions for all three of them about their childhood.
“They were three of a kind. Solitary, lonely people who’d never had a real home or the family they needed.”
There are intense, heart-stopping scenes of danger that not everyone will survive. Cubrero has too many people on his payroll in law enforcement, and he won’t stop until he gets his revenge. A strong bond is formed between Lea, Jake, and Toby, and the men would die to keep her safe. The clock is ticking; the enemy is near. Can they protect Lea and get her to safety? The story includes power exchange, spankings, voyeurism, exhibition, control, ménage, with explicit sex scenes.
A wonderful erotic adventure with a touch of suspense thrown in; That’s what Ms. Donahue’s book Sinn has to offer. Lea, an exotic dancer by night & a college student by day, is trying to overcome her lonely upbringing and make something of herself. When one night she is approached by two drop dead gorgeous US Marshal's. They inform her that her life is in danger and that they must take her into protective custody in order to save her life.
Once secluded Lea determines she is in the company of kindred spirits - as both guys are lonely as she but for their own reasons. All three feel the spark between them. Knowing they only have a few days the trio make the most of it. In this book you will live the erotic passions of the threesome as they make the most of their few days together (Exciting stuff let me tell you)!
In the background story you track the movements of the cartel leader out to even an old score by taking Lea’s life in retribution.
Review copy kindly provided by the author in exchange for a honest review This novel was underappreciated when it was first published a number of years ago and luckily for readers. Donahue has found a new home and it has been re-released. Still the same story it seems, SiNN is a romantic suspense of a different kind. The kind where dirty play goes hand in hand with suspense . Meaning both kinds are on offer It’s steamy with a hint of dark alluding to power play. It’s mild in the terms of other novels which can be hardcore. However in this case it lends a charm given the subject matter could be consider dark. The heroine is one who isn’t afraid of things. SiNN as she is known to her clients ,is a girl who isn’t afraid of things. Lea actually has grown up in foster care and see this job as a way to keep a connect with her best friend Danielle who grew up with her side by side.
Until her life is turned upside down and literally everything she has ever known is taken away . As someone who always thought she didn’t have a family. Things turn interesting with the arrival of US Marshals Toby and Jake who bring more than just answers. Whilst this book is focused around Lea /SiNN and the secret past she didn’t know she had. The story does offer a gripping secondary plot that works well with the main plot. I love the power play and suspense together, paying homage to the knight in armour idea but the author giving her own version of it. It’s an refreshing outlook on suspense without the clichés . I liked that the author chose to use sterotype roles and make them not by their actions and thoughts. It’s a fun novel and I loved that it been released as I wouldn’t come across my radar otherwise.
I received an Advance Reader Copy for SINN written by Tina Donahue and voluntarily reviewed this book. This story opens with a scene in an upscale gentleman’s club in Phoenix, The Second Circle Club, where an erotic dancer named “SiNN” (Lea) is putting herself on display with her partner. Two US Marshals are there to squirrel her away to safety following her show, because an execution-style murder occurred which linked to her and now her life is in danger. Toby and Jake both feel intense and immediate attraction, but Lea did already take notice of this pair in the club earlier while she was on stage. When they end up in a private residence to lay low for a few days, the whole connection between the murder and Lea comes to light, bringing revelations which triggered her sense of abandonment earned during her childhood. As well, their attraction was given an outlet, but at first it was not an easy move for all because of the professional line of duty crossed for sinning…
Great romantic suspense read, with many steamy-hot scenes while they explore said attraction hedonistically before their time together runs out.
SiNN is a romantic suspense filled with elements of ménage and themes of hope and longing and a desire to belong! Lea is paying for school by dancing at a gentleman’s club, but unknown to her, she’s been hunted. Jake and Toby are U.S. Marshals and are tasked with keeping Lea safe until she can be placed under witness protection and taken away. But, none of them expect the fierce attraction they feel for each other, or the danger that’s following Lea and threatening everything she holds dear!
This book is filled with enough passion, connection, and longing to keep you warm at night, as well as enough suspense to keep you turning pages. It’s almost difficult to read about how they had a limited amount of time together, and then they would all be going their separate ways. You want to cheer for them and their growing love, but you don’t want to see anyone hurt more than they need to be. It was a different dilemma than I’m used to while reading, so I really enjoyed that aspect, which also made the ending all the better! Jake, Lea, and Toby all brought something special to their relationship and definitely expect a lot of passionate scenes. I enjoyed reading this book, I was hooked from beginning to end, and it’s one that I recommend!
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. Lea is an exotic dancer who has a mysterious and extremely dangerous past she will quickly learn from two strangers. Two hot, dominant, sexy strangers. Sex sex, light spanking, anal.
Reviewed by Michelle V. Book provided by the publisher for review Review originally posted at Romancing the Book
SiNN by Tina Donahue is a wonderful erotic romance that is so hot it just might melt your e-reader. There’s so much more to this book than just the heat, though. It’s an outstanding story that is packed with intense suspense.
Lea performs in an exclusive gentleman’s club where she performs under the name of SiNN. As a child she was put into foster care at the age of three and lived along with her best friend, Danielle. Having survived their difficult childhoods, Lea and Danielle are still best friends and both perform at the same club.
Lea never knew the true story about her real parents and now the father she never knew has put her life in danger. When US Marshals Jake Gabriel and Toby Quinn show up at the club one night to take her away into witness protection, Lea learns secrets about her past and her parents that she never knew. Being protected by these two handsome men might not be so bad, if she can get them to loosen up and see her as more than just someone they need to guard.
I very highly recommend this book and give it 5 out of 5 stars! The writing is superb with a gripping story and compelling characters. I loved all three of the main characters right from the start. Lea has always had to be on her own and take care of herself. She’s strong, independent, and doesn’t like losing control of her life. Jake and Toby are handsome, sexy law men who are trained professionals, but they’re still red-blooded men.
The heat level in this one is extremely high, but there’s also tender romance as well. I would actually classify this one as an Erotic Romantic Suspense because yes, it’s definitely erotic, but the suspense story will keep you on the edge of your seat. It’s a highly entertaining book from start to finish.
This book is fantastic!!. The Characters are Excellent!. You have two very sexy US Marshal's and a Feisty Erotic dancer lol . This book is full of steamy sexy scenes, suspense and action!. Toby and Jake are sent to protect Lea from a Man set out to kill her and her Mom till Lea can be put in the protection program. Only neither one knew they would end up falling for each other. Toby and Jake have found the perfect woman to share, but they know it can not last. Lea feels she is in heaven she has two sexy as heck US Marshals who want her in all ways lol. So they decide to make the best of the time they have together. Boy is this some steamy reading!!. If you love sexy erotic menages with a amazing story line then you must read this book!!!!. Tina is an amazing writer, and all her books I have read so far have been Incredible!
Lea finds herself in the care of two US Marshals, in custody waiting for relocation with the Witness Protection Program. Facing the fact that she´s about to leave everything she knows, her only friend and her life behind, makes her want to connect and have something for herself. The instant connection she felt with them both leads to smexy time, all the while the threat is getting closer.. Smutty fluff, threesome smut, action and suspense. Great mix.
Wow im still shocked at what i read. this book had so many things going for it i didn't want to put it down. i was hooked. loved the drama and how the book itself was sinfully sexy. Love this authors books so far cant wait to read more from here =)
Loved the story! Love the characters! Couldn't put it down. Read it straight thru. Lea, Jake, and Toby have all had tought childhoods and have been left with personal wounds and issues. They still manage too fall in love, but will they live to enjoy it?
Quite entertaining...Jake, Lea, and Toby...every creative sexualis that can be dreamt was experienced. Happy endings are a requisite; SiNN met this requirement.
Caution – This book is red hot and will singe your senses!
SINN starts off hot and only get hotter the more you read so I had to turn the fans on high in order to finish reading this book. Lea, Jake and Toby are strong characters that have an abundance of electrifying chemistry and sensual allure. The attraction as well as the passion in this story is fast paced and produces flames that burn the pages as well as all available surfaces and the relationship grows from there although the romance between this threesome isn’t assured because there is a bit of turbulence as well, another words the story is very erotic with lots of mf and mfm scenes with elements of power exchange, but it also has a story which makes it a great read.
Like I said above, the story is fast paced but along with the relationship the story also has some thrills and suspense as the reason Toby and Jake show up in Lea’s life is because a very bad man has set his mind up to kill her and he doesn’t intend for her death to be an easy one. I have to tell you that the story focuses on the erotic as even the bad man imagines erotic scenes.
I found this one to be one supremely steamy read that I couldn’t put down until I had read every delicious word.
His Is a story about Lea Jake &Toby Lea worked at an exotic gentlemens club and she wore a mask so nobody knew who she was somebody wanted her dead Jake and Toby work for the US Marshals they were there to protect her because her father work for cartel drug lord her fathers put Cubreor's father in prison his testimony put her mother and her and danger and her mother dropped her off in foster care that's where she met her best friend Danielle they both known each other since they were eight years old and I both worked at the club one night Jack and Toby showed up at her club she had no idea who they were until she met them outside once they took her and protective custody it got very deliciously sexy and toe-curling action-packed definitely very interesting and a happy ever after This is my first time ever reading one of Tina Donahue books very sexy I truly am happy that I took a chance by reading this book you don't know what you're missing

As Lea left work she is stopped by two US Marshals Jake and Toby who tell her she needs to go into protective custody. SiNN is a male fantasy come to life in high heels, chains and a feather mask and Lea's performance of that role is how this ex-foster child pays her way through college. Then as she leaves work she is stopped by two US Marshals Jake and Toby who inform her that she is in danger and that they are there to take her into protective custody. Her Mother had abandoned her to get her away from them as they would be going into witness protection after her father turned states evidence on his boss the head of a South American drug cartel and even in witness protection they will be constantly looking over their shoulders as the Cartel will keep looking for them. Lia finds herself with two tall sexy hunks in an isolated home and the temptation is just too much. A sexy story of two hunky lawmen and the woman they must protect.

Lea performs as SiNN an erotic performer so she can earn money to pay for her degree. Unbeknown to her, her life is about to change in many ways. After her performance she is taken into protective custody because mob leader Cubrero is after her for something her Father did. Cubrero as a member of the police department in his pocket and threatens him to find Lea or else something bad will happen. Toby and Jake are the two officers sent to protect Lea on a temporary basis until they pass her over to the next officers. Lea feels an intense attraction to Toby and Jake and things get very hot and exciting between the three of them. They know they have very little time together so they make the most of the time they have in every ways possbke. Towards the end of this book it gets very tense. This is the first time I have read a book by Tina Donahue and I like her style of writing, it is hot but there is a good storyline to go with it. Very impressed and would recommend.

This review is being left voluntarily and any and all opinions are my honest thoughts on this book and/or the authors work. This romantic suspense thriller will have you on the edge of your seat with the danger, mystery, suspense and super steamy scenes. It is dark, edgy and raw with kink, angst and ménage. The in depth scenes written throughout this book will leave you breathless in anticipation with one eye closed almost afraid of what's around the corner. This is a new author to me and she has made me sit up and take attention with her masterful writing of this book. Will Toby, Lea "SiNN", and Jake survive the danger posed to Lea?

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet Lea Baptista, Jake Gabriel, and Toby Quinn. Lea is a woman with a past. A dangerous past and Jake and Toby are sent to make sure nothing happens to her. The problem is someone from Lea's past doesn't care what they want. After seeing Lea dance none are sure what will happen to them next. However if the guys can't keep their head (the right one) in the game then they will all lose. Can they find a HEA or will the man from Lea's past make sure that never happens?
This is a super hot book. It has its ups and downs that I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin the story for anyone else. I will tell you that the book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
SINN is a sensually erotic story with suspense and intriguing characters. I enjoyed the encounters between the three main characters who have a satisfying threesome.
US Marshals, Jake and Toby are assigned to protect Lea. Jake and Toby are immediately attracted to sexually alluring, Lea and they find themselves falling under her spell. Lea is worried and fearful and is happy to have these two, big, protective men keep her safe. This is a sexy story with characters that are flawed and likable. The three of them connect on many levels and help each other through a difficult time.
This was an interesting menage romance that that some unexpected twists and turns. Two US Marshals are tasked with protecting a girl that had no clue about her family history, and they end up enjoying a few heated days in bed, or wherever they decided. I couldn't understand why they wouldn't go to the second floor of the house, and the story left summer other unanswered questions, but it was a steamy read.
Please note that I did receive an ARC of this book, and the opinions expressed in this review are my own.
When U.S. Marshals Jake and Toby are sent to protect Lea from a drug lord, she finds out her whole life has been a lie. Realizing that she's going to be alone once again, Lea decides to grab what she wants....Jake and Toby. While it's easy to get Jake on-board, Toby is harder to convince. All three have "abandonment issues" stemming from their childhood. What will happen when their time together is up? Will Lea be safe or will the "evil" after her find her?

Lea (stage name is SiNN) dances at a Phoenix gentleman's club. Little does she know that the vicious, psychopathic leader (Cubrero) of a drug cartel wants to kill her in revenge on the entire family of a man who betrayed his father to the police. Toby and Jake are the two Deputy US Marshalls in charge of protecting her from Cubrero. There are lots of LONG, great sex scenes between the three who are hiding out. Many things happen before there finally is an HEA. I highly recommend this book.

They are sent to protect her form someone trying to kill her but what will happen when they both fall for her and she falls for them.

I truly enjoyed reading this intense suspense super-steamy romance by Tina Donahue. Despite the book being mostly based on the few days of Lea's confinement with Toby & Jake in the safe house, Ms. Donahue managed to relay the childhood experiences of each character and what made them into who they are today. The suspense and danger mixed in with the raw desire had me staying up late to finish the book. Can Jake & Toby protect Lea from Cubrero? And can they all protect their hearts in the process?

This is a very intense, super steamy, page turner of a book. A book with a well written storyline that is packed with drama, danger, suspense, raw emotions and scorching heat. Characters are complex and share a powerful attraction and sizzling chemistry. As the story unfolds you are quickly sucked into Lea, Jake and Toby's world and will find yourself on the edge of your seat and in dire need of a cold drink. I'm posting a voluntary, honest review.
I find myself a little torn over my feelings for the two marshals who are assigned to keep Lea safe. On one hand, they very easily gave up all semblance of professionalism pretty much as soon as she got naked. On the other hand, filthy, filthy sexytimes quickly followed. As for the actual plot and writing, I have no real complaints. All in all, SiNN definitely lived up to its blurb.
