USA Today bestselling author Cynthia Sax writes steamy cyborg and alien romances. Her stories have been featured in Star Magazine, on TV, and numerous romance top ten lists.
When she isn't writing, she's traveling the world with her Dear Wonderful Hubby, meeting new people, visiting new places.
Queen of the Novellas has done it again she has me so sucked up in this series it is killing me not having the next book. I am loving how well written this story is it holds your attention and she keeps just enough back of what each character is all about and giving you bits and pieces of them in each installment to keep you coming back for more and more. Who is Mr Friendly, is it the biker Hawke, (Swoons), or the billionaire, Nicholas (pants) or could it be someone else? I can not wait to continue this story.
Arousing and enveloping are two words I'd always use to describe Cynthia Sax's writing. It's like a warm spell that makes you forget the outside world and teases you into the private world her characters live in. I'm very fond of the author's slow-burning, meticulous building of the mood and tension.
Let's see what's in store for us in the second part of this sizzling, unusual serial.
Proud and inebriated with happiness for her new, red leather purse, Bee Carter sets her mind to securing the full-time job that will validate her talents and commitment. She's optimistic, particularly motivated by her mysterious admirer who keeps issuing his naughty challenges.
Nicholas proves to be both sweet and infuriatingly aloof, but Bee's real problem lies in the infinitely tempting Hawke.
Belinda is in a constant struggle with herself. She needs security, she needs forever, and steady billionaire Nicholas represents that. I'm afraid, though, that I'm terribly partial to Hawke. That man is like the blazing Sun turned into a hot, enticing god in the flesh.
Despite my possibly wrong early choice, this dichotomy of Bee's desires is really fun to read about. She's torn between practical and fantasy. Aren't we all? That's what makes this story so "rewarding".
My favourite scene: first kiss, oh, my.
I'm hooked on: the friendship between Bee and Cindy, funny and warm
My only complaint: it was too short, I bumped into the end and felt hurt :o(

After reading Sinful Rewards 1 there was no way I wasn't going to continue and so glad this came out quickly. My Bee addiction needed a fix; BADLY! I almost feel this should be called "There's something about Bee" because this series almost has a Sex in the City feel to it.
Bee is starting to come out of her shell more and more. Being sought after by not only the handsome and successful Nicholas, but also the rugged and supportive Hawke. Now that Bee has found her way into Nicholas's world she now has the task to please and convince him that they are meant to be. But she is finding herself being tested by not only a mysterious texter promising rewards for "good" behavior, but also her friendship with Cyndi and her ability to land a full time position with her employer.
I absolutely love the anticipation of it all!
I have to feel for the girl. She is so trusting, loyal and wants to see the good in everything, but we all know that the majority of the population is not like Bee. Both Nicholas and Hawke sees these qualities in her but they each have their own response to them. I must say I am team Hawke right now, there is just something about a big, protective man that just drives me wild! *wink* AND Bee's detailed descriptions of her fantasies with both men don't help!
Sinful Rewards 2 is turning up the heat, but I have a feeling things are going to get even hotter in book 3!
Sigh. I need a drink. A stiff one please. Nothing changes from book one. Bee is still Gold digging. Nicolas is still a pompas asshole. Hawke is yum on legs. And Bee's room-mate is a rich airhead. Put them all together and you have a severe case of frustration and a whole lot of pissed off. Could I tell you what happened? Erm nope. Just finished it and I've not remembered anything but the gold digging, daydreaming bag me a billionaire. I am assured by a friend it gets better in book three but I cant take anymore. So I'm wrapping this one up as done.
Welcome back to Bee's story. She heads to work with her latest "reward" in hand when approached by the man who triggers tightness in her body with just a thought. Hawke offers her a ride to work on his bike, but she declines knowing what the bike represents. "Expect more offers. I can be a persistent pain in the ass, especially when it comes to pretty little women with long brown hair and big brown eyes."
Bee continues to work by her normal means of transportation - the bus. Only today is no normal day. She walks into Shark Week. "Shark fans make Black Friday shoppers appear civilized." Hopeful to arrive at work on time until "The man finally calls her a seal lover, the ultimate insult."
Bee arrives to work - late. Still unsure as to if she is being offered the permanent position, but she is ever hopeful. Hopeful and eager for 5, which means her billionaire will be picking her up. "I didn't make you wait on the street corner like some two-bit hooker." Nicholas repeats my words fromyesterdat, his voice lilting with amusement. "I also introduced myself when I called." "There's hope for you yet."
During this second installment you learn SO much about the characters. I am going to list my favorites, since I don't do spoilers. And you can savor over these fun tidbits until the 3rd one is released.
You learn how much attention to detail Nicholas pays. "When you feel bad, I should bring you ice cream." His fingers fold over mine once more, his grip comforting. "Since I haven't yet made you feel bad, that remains outstanding." "Give it time" I grin at him. "I suspect you'll have ice cream within the week." You get this glimpse into Hawke's past. Do you learn his real name? No. "We thought it sounded cool when we were sever,: Crimson creeps up his neck, my tattooed biker adorably embarrassed. Finally you get to see Hawke's protective side. "If he makes you cry, I really will have to kill him," a familiar voice drawls.
I shall leave you the way the incredibly talented Ms. Cynthia Sax left me - wanting more! :) This serial, like other stuff I have read from Ms. Sax, is all-consuming and addictive. Who sent the text? Will she get the job? Will we ever get to go to R? Will be ever get to know more about her Dad? A easy FIVE star to give!
IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! Be still my beating heart! Book 2 in the Sinful Rewards series by Cynthia Sax has arrived and I, for one as giddy as a school girl getting ready for her first date!....okay, well that's a picture no one needs to think about!
Anyway moving along, the cast of characters are on track nicely, Bee is trying to be the best of the best, Cyndi (to me) is still being a bit of a sheep/puppy dog trailing along behind Angel, who by the way DOES NOT live up to her name and is a beioch! Nicolas is still an A**hole and Hawke...well that fine man is simply delicious! But we are left with questions like, what is really going on at Bee's job? Why is Hawke stalking her and is it just for sex? Why is Nicolas an A**hole and what is his issue with Cyndi? Who is the mysterious texter?? I have so many other questions! this book really does leave you pondering I would like to point out my favorite part of the book, Bee talking about her bag! Now I am with her 100% on this one, as the proud owner of a new Coach bag, there is just something about it that truly does make it a work of art! The way Cynthia had Bee discuss that bag was pure....well, pure bag porn! and boy was it good :-D
So this book leaves you craving for more! so much more! But I do give Sinful Rewards 2 a 10 out of 10 and prayers to the publishing gods that Sinful Rewards 3 is out soon... :-)
Bee is getting rewards for being naughty for her secret admirer. She is sure it is one of two men she desires. It could be Nicolas the billionaire or Hawke the sexy biker. She is attracted to both and secretly dreams of both. In her dreams and her little acts she is letting her sexy side out and she can't wait to see what her next reward will be.
Bee seems like the quiet hard working woman you may not pay attention to. She isn't flashy and just wants to land the perfect job. Se has managed to get the eye of billionaire Nicolas and is not shy with him. She even tells him when he is being a jerk and needs to take lessons on how to talk to people. Hawke she has seen all of and he is no shy man. She likes how dangerous he seems but she learns he has a great heart as well. She is still trying to figure out who is sending her gifts and which of the two men she really wants. She has some amazingly hot dreams about both. This is a short story and only leaves you wanting more of the story. I want to see for sure who it is and while I think it's Nicolas I still would rather see her with Hawke. He may not be rich but I like him. Maybe Nicolas will grow on me in the next addition. If you like a hot little mystery you may enjoy this series!
After reading Sinful Rewards 1 I could not wait to see what was going to happen in Sinful rewards 2. I certainly was not disappointed. I found yet another wonderful quick and steamy read that I could not put down.
Bee Carter is a good girl that has attracted the attention of two guys. Now she is receiving mysterious messages to do some interesting things. When she does these things she is rewarded with a prize. The question is though, who is the mystery person behind the messages. Is it hot billionaire or the sexy biker? Which one is making her dreams come true?
I am a little behind in reading this series but I have them in my to be read pile. I can't wait to see what happens in Sinful Rewards 3. I am sure Cynthia Sax has another hot story for us lucky readers to enjoy.
These Novellas are a great length to read just before bed, while you are waiting for an appointment, or honestly these stories are perfect for any time.
I was given the opportunity to read this great story so that I may share my thoughts with you. As always it has been my great pleasure to share my thoughts with you on Sinful Rewards 2. Stay tuned for my thoughts on more installments in this series.
This is the second book in the Sinful Rewards series and it takes us right back to the yearning lust-filled world of Bee, Nicolas, and Hawke. In this book, Bee is still receiving mysterious messages from 'Friendly'. She received a message about a fulfillment she needs to complete, and if she does, she gets reward. She believes without a doubt that 'Friendly' is either Nicolas, the billionaire, or Hawke, the biker. Book two leaves you with some angst and wondering how things are going to play out. In book one, it leads you to thinking who 'Friendly' is, but in this book, I have no clue! I just want to know who is sending her these mysterious texts and is she going to get the promotion she is wanting at work? OH, and will they finally get into the nightclub that is owned by Nicolas. So many unanswered questions that I want to know now! The Sinful Rewards has quickly becoming my reading crack. I am so hooked on this series, and I can't wait to get my next high from the next book!
A gifted copy was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review by Jodie Rae.
I was so anxious to get my hands on this after reading the first installment in this serial.
Bee runs into Hawke with her "reward" and explains it to him she is shocked when he gets it. The chemistry between those two is enough to melt the sheets. However, Bee thinks that he is all things bad for her and will leave her like her biker father did to her mother. Nicholas is his usual arrogant, unconnected self. He does show flashes of a softer, kinder, less jerky side.
When Bee is issued another challenge, she jumps on the chance. She is surprised at where her imagination takes her with this one. Until she discovers, that someone has taken what belongs to her...who was it? Her mind wonders (and so did mine).
Cynthia Sax has given me just enough to question if my thoughts are the right ones on who Bee will choose. While the characters haven't gotten together yet, this book upped the steam factor. Gah! I need the next book, and then the next and the next.
You haven’t read Sinful Rewards 1? What are you waiting for? I loved it! And SINFUL REWARDS 2 is even better! The more I know Bee, the more I love her; she is such an endearing character with a lot of the same hopes and dreams we have! This is going to be the year’s best series, no doubt about it! Is Bee finally getting that promotion; surely the beautiful gift she got will help. She likes both Nicolas and Hawke; what will happen now that she knows them both better? Who is that mysterious admirer? Will Cindy make it to R? This is such a fun, entertaining, sexy read. We know Cynthia Sax is the queen of erotic fiction, but she outdid anything she wrote before! This is just fabulous, so well written, so exciting, so little and yet so much happens! I cannot wait for SF3 already! Bring it on, Cynthia!
This story just keeps getting better and better. I am so involved with Bee, Hawke and Nicholas that I am already pining for the next book. In this book, we get to know more about all three of them. Her chracter development keeps drawing me into the story so that I "have" to know more each one of these characters. Bee has a wonderful imagination and her fantasies about Hawke are HOT! She has finally decided to continue with the challenges presented to her by "Friendly" and it really is shaking her up. Nicholas is still very aloof whereas Hawke is making sure that he is right there in front of her every chance he gets. The thing I love about Hawke is that he is THE alpha bad boy but he got how she felt about her purse. So I am waiting impatiently for #3. If you haven't read #1, then please go and purchase because you will not be disappointed.
Belinda is excited. She is so sure that she has land a full time job. Everything seems right in the world. She has a secret admirer that she cannot decide is her sexy Billionaire Nicolas or if it is her sexy biker Hawke. But she loves that text she gets from “Friendly” of naughty things for her to do. How could she like the rewards that she has been receiving for doing those naughty things?
The question is which guy will win her heart. I have to say that I love both guys. And it seems each guy has what part of her needs. It appears neither guy is willing to share.
I so love Cynthia Sax’s writing. I have found this series very additive and I know deep down I will have to see it till the end. Cynthia has me drooling over Nicolas and Hawke. They are just yummy.
In Sinful Rewards #2 we continue with Bee receiving messages and rewards for her good behavior, although we still don't know who is delivering these gifts. I do have my ideas, but I will not reveal them. Hawke or Nicolas?
Bee really thinks she is the good girl next door, but as we read on in the story we discover her naughty side coming out little by little. I just hope she lets it all out in the end!
I personally have a difficult time trying to review a part of a story, I want to tell everyone about the whole thing -begining to end! So I will leave it at this for now....I love what I have read so far and I am looking forward to reading the rest of Bee's story!
So is it Nicolas or Hawke that is the mystery man? This month I am leaning towards Hawke, but something tells me there is more than meets the eyes here. Cynthia Sax's Sinful Rewards has me hooked! Not only is the Author a joy to read she is also an amazing person. Once again my only con is that I have to wait until September 16th to read more, but that really isn't a con since I will be rereading the first two books looking for clues again! 5 erotic stars
OMFG I so need the rest of this series!!!! This is HOT HOT HOT. I literally read them back to back, all 8 of them!!!!! I can't wait until I get the last 4!!! Follow Bee as she tries to make a better life for herself. She lives with her best friend, a rich candy princess, lusts after a quiet billionaire, and spies on a hot, naked Marine. You need to go out and buy EVERY book int this series and read them back to back like I did!!!!! RUN, don't walk and go get your hot, tatted up, biker, and billionaire triangle out there!!!!
I just loved this book so much. If you haven't read the first book then BUY it!! This book is an awesome read, the characters Bee, Hawke and Nicholas are unfolding even more. And I can't help but wonder who "Friendly" is!!! I think I know who it is but I have to be a "good girl" and wait to see what happens next! Sexy, hot and very REWARDING. If you read the first book and then you read this book, you will be in a way getting your next "sinful reward" when the next book comes out. 5 stars!!!!
Love these books. Cynthia leaves you wondering who is the mysterious man rewarding Bee, just as Bee herself is left wondering. I can't wait for the next installment to see what will happen next.
Cynthia Sax is really doing it with sinful rewards . My big guess is that Hawke is " friendly" . It's something major going on being Hawke and Nicolas but I just don't know what .
