This was me when Bee finally, FINALLY, made a decision with her heart. She'd been torn for so long between Hawke and Nicolas, which confounded me. But she finally realized that Nicolas might have been perfect on paper, but that doesn't always translate into what you really need.

Bee still has a lot on her plate. She's dealing with the fallout of the tabloid article and trying to figure out her work and living situation. And even though her thought process sometimes leaves me scratching my head, I finally see her moving in the right direction.

Now to wait for SR 9 to see how things move forward now that Bee's made one decision.

Oh Bee, what the hell are we going to do with you?

Granted, Bee's life has just been upended, but I still find myself wanting to shake some sense into her at times. Instead of just asking Hawke more about the Organization and how much he is actually involved with it, she's still under the assumption that he doesn't have money. Totally understandable that she needs that promise of security and stabilization, but for heaven's sake, just ask more about Hawke. He'll tell her because of his feelings for her.

The altercation with Bee and Cyndi's father was definitely a tense situation, but Bee more than held her own against him; he is a jackass after all, dismissing the effects of what happened to Cyndi when she was little as though she should be able to brush it off. He's nothing more than a sanctimonious prick with money.

I liked how Bee's reputation was restored with a few simple words said in front of the right people, but will that action cause even more trouble for Bee? I also can't wait to find out about the death of a client (I think I know who it is), and what Bee has to do with the situation and resulting media fallout of that death.

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher thru Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.

Sinful Rewards 8 is a hot and steamy installment of the Sinful Rewards serial. Sometimes, I feel like I would like each installment to be longer, so I can read about Bee and her two equally hot men and her scandalous life.

I have to admit that Bee is not one of my favorite heroines. However, if I look at things objectively, I have to admire her fire and resilience. There's something about her that's impossible to knock down. That's why people still stick with her, even if she seems to be bad news.

I commend the author for having created a serial that has an escalting level of steam, excitement, and thrill. This whole series has been so enjoyable. It is actually difficult for a reader to wait in between installments. There's just something about the writing and the characters that holds a reader's attention and never lets go.

I have to say, SR8 was my favorite so far of the series cause I am head of #TeamHawke (Self-Proclaimed) and I lurve me some naked Hawke...and Cynthia wrote some very sexy...very naked Hawke (and Bee...yeah..she's ok...I guess I can share him)

SR8 is a pivotal part of the whole series, it kind of solidifies the Bee/Hawke relationship and I was fan-girl squealing that she finally is starting to realize that Hawke is the one...who gives a hoot if he doesn't have millions, or billions...he is the one she needs to be with. and I will say, I am SOOO not a Nicolas fan...but he redeemed himself in SR8, and I hope he finds a nice girl to spend all his money and have little Richie Rich babies!!

Excited to see where Cynthia takes the next part of the serial...we shall wait and see!

In Sinful Rewards 8 Bee finally makes her choice between Hawke, her motorcycle-driving military man and Nicholas, her beautiful billionaire. Though Bee shows Nicholas that she'll always be his friend—the only one to tell him when he's being an ass—she makes it clear that she's Hawke's girl. But for how long will she really be his?

Bee continues to be plagued by fears that all of her relationships, and the stability she's been able to carve out for herself, are completely transient. But even with her worries that Hawke will one day leave her as her mother was abandoned, throughout the story Bee works to build a place where she belongs. She and her best friend are putting all their hopes and effort into starting their own business and, even after being blindsided emotionally, they've hit the ground running, stronger than ever. Bee seems to be charming and earning the respect of all of Hawke's friends and she finds joy in caring those in her sphere.

I'm so proud of Bee and the way her character has grown in this series. She knows what she wants and is working hard to get it. Not only is she no longer waiting for a man to swoop in with loads of money to take care of her and her mother, the thought actually crosses her mind that if her business is successful she might be able to make enough money for her and Hawke to remain together for the long haul. Seriously so proud of her!

Even Hawke grew as a character! I mean, he was pretty much perfect before—hello, book boyfriend—but we got to see a glimpse of his vulnerable side. As much as Bee fears that Hawke will eventually leave her, Hawke is petrified that Bee will be taken away from him just like his best friend was. Their shared fears bring them that much closer and though they don't yet utter the 'L' word, we all know it's there. And we might be just a bit giddy about it.

Apart from the fantastic character growth—hell, even Nicholas earned a smidgen of respect—in typical Cynthia Sax fashion, Sinful Rewards 8 is just hot as hell. Bee and Hawke are both finally being open about how much they want each other. That connection and the embracing of their particular perversions make for some scorching scenes. Even after eight installments, I'm still completely hooked on the story and finding out where Bee, Hawke and the rest of the characters will go from here. Can't wait for Sinful Rewards 9!

REVIEW

I am never to be disappointed by any of the installments from the Sinful Rewards Series. Although,often times I want to pull my hair out by the credulous actions of Belinda "Bee" Carter; I always have high hopes that she will find a way to redeem herself. As for Hawke, whom we have yet to learn of his real name, which I am truly counting on to be revealed by at least the last installment. Hawke a.k.a military man is obviously the one that Belinda wants. She presumes that he does not have enough money to support her, her mother and her big dreams. But, they say life is full of surprises. I'd rather not speak of my speculations because all is to be told in due time. However, I anticipate that all things remain cordial. Nicolas seems to be accepting the friendship of the woman he wants but who has become unavailable. In all honesty, I have been rooting for Hawk for page 1. Yes, he may not be as rich as Nicolas. Yes, he may be not as handsome as Nicolas. But, all and all, he makes excessive amounts efforts and it was unfortunate that Bee frequently turned him a way. And FINALLY, she has come to realization, opened her eyes to the efforts of her military man. She thinks that Hawke will never be able to provide for her in the ways she has dreamed of, but she knows that happiness with him is better than life of loneliness with wealth. She needs him as he needs her:


“Hawke.”
He captures my face between his rough hands. “I can’t lose you too, love.” I see the bone-deep fear in his eyes, fear for me. He lost his best friend in a bombing. He’s terrified that this will happen to another person he cares about.
Cyndi’s dad dismissed her fears, mocking them. I won’t be as callous, as unfeeling with Hawke’s emotions.
“You won’t lose me,” I assure him, this vow feeling like the truth, a declaration of permanence both of us need.”


In regards to "Friendly," despite the fact that we have yet to become enlightened of whom this mystery person is, I may speak alone when I say my bets are on Hawke. We may never know.

So, until Sinful Rewards 9....
Expected to be released:March 17.

This has been a bumpy ride so far for these three. With 4 more remaining until the conclusion, I know that Bee, Nicolas and Hawke will throw us for some loops - and I, for one, cannot wait. One thing I have been waiting for since Sinful Rewards 1, is getting to know our Jelly Bean loving billionaire Nicolas some more. I think this 8th installment was really HIS book. You saw a side to him that I have been dying to see, and a personality that I find awesome. A few of my favorite Nicolas induced moments during this book:

"We can't have that." I smiled. "You're already a complete a$$hole. Sucking up will only make your condition worse." (I love the friendship formed between Bee & Nicolas)
"I rarely joke," he pompously informs me. (When he propositions Bee outside of club R - I almost died laughing at the responses from other women. "What? She said no?" a woman blurts. "She is crazy." "I'll do it, Mr. Rainer!")
"And it was also about proving I could do it. I'm Nicolas Rainer, after all," he boasts, his normal grim expression boyish and carefree. "I can do anything." (Oh lord!)
And then you have Hawke's "Army!" Oh my, they made me smile!
"True. True." Mack nods, his shoulders lowering. "F***. I almost took the billion dollars, and I don't swing that way."
"Sure wish we knew where to get a half-decent grilled cheese sandwich around here," he adds. "That would hit the spot right now."
While this is Nicolas' book - at least for me... Hawke shows another side to. A side where his confidence in being all he needs to be for his Belinda is slipping. My heart hurts for that Hawke. BUT! The confrontation between former friends... WHOA! I glance at Hawke. He stalks the width of the park, pivots on his booted heels, and retraces his steps, a wild animal testing the perimeters of his cage.

CYNTHIA SAX - you kill me with this serial. I love it so much it hurts. I want to meet the woman who will be THE ONE for Nicolas. I bet she will be a fireball. And reckless as humanly possible! One more month til some more... cannot wait!

Belinda shows so much strength and courage when faced with Cyndi dad. Mr. Wynters is such an awful man. Would love to see him brought down. He would so deserve it due to the way he treats his daughter, Belinda, and everyone else he comes in contact with.

Belinda and Cyndi are working on starting up their new business. Cyndi is showing how smart and focus she is. I love how Cyndi does not hesitate to stand by Belinda’s side. Such a true friend. Breaks my heart that Belinda is having to sell the things that she loves to get by though. She has so little that it just seems so sad.

Belinda and Hawke’s relationship keeps blooming. The book starts out hot and steamy from the get go. I about busted a gut when she looked at them and told him he was an extremely ugly man in the middle of sex. LOL

Hawke is so devoted. He continues to show Belinda how much he cares by just the simple things he says and does. He is so thoughtful and caring in so many ways. He is also very protected and would lay down his life for her in a heartbeat. It would kill Hawke if he lost her. He has lost so much in his life. Do to Belinda’s insecurities will she ever be able to not question the fact he is not going anywhere?

My heart breaks for Nicolas. I truly believe he cares for Belinda and she is what he needs in his life. Wish there was a way all 3 could be happy together (friends share, right?..LOL). Belinda is the only one that Nicolas let’s see his true self. Without her I worry about him being this lost soul that will never know love. I do like what Nicolas did no try to save Belinda’s reputation. Quick thinking on his part.

As you know reading this series in every book Mr. Rewards Man always text challenges and gives rewards to Belinda. I love that the reward in this book included Cyndi. It shows that Mr. Reward Man realizes how much Cyndi means to Belinda. I also love the challenge he had her to do in this book. You would think that Hawke would put two and two together, unless he already does know. I wonder.

So finally Sinful Rewards 8 has arrived and I honestly didn’t realize just how pivotal this book would be! That’s right peeps! Bee make’s life changing decisions and it blew my freaking mind!!!
SO a quick recap. Cyndi gave up everything to stand behind Bee! Which is HUGE news, as Cyndi was a bit of a party going princess, but she did have a HUGE heart, which showed even more when she told Daddy where to shove it 
Nicolas was an arse…so not much has changed there. He was surprised by Cyndi’s loyalty to Bee (hmmmm me thinks there might be something there in the future-sorry Cole fans).
Bee is neurotic as ever, but boy I love that crazy mixed up girl. She thinks everyone and everything is temporary, but that is what life has always taught her, I just want to put my arms through the screen and give that girl a hug.
And lastly to Hawke, dear, delicious Hawke, well that man it just his perfect self.
In Sinful Rewards 8 I feel that the love confusion is cleared up and one man is firmly placed into the “Friend zone” while the other is grab ahold of. Mr. Wynters makes a camo and boy is he a bigger arse than I thought! I mean seriously, he makes Nicolas look like Ronald McDonald! But he does reveal a little more about Cyndi’s childhood that just breaks my heart! And teaches us a firm lesson, that not everyone is whom they seem.
There is another cameo of my first ever Book Boyfriend (yes he was a Cynthia Sax man) and for that I swoon! Blaine! Talk about alpha GOD!!! Anyway he is in a defining part for Cyndi and Bee, where Angel shows her true colors and Nicolas tries to be a good friend…in true Nicolas style.
Also in book 8 Hawke shows his gentle, insecure side which just makes me love him more!
Sinful Rewards 8 answers a lot of questions, but also gives you a lot more. In the end it was a simply divine book that left me wanting more, it earns 10 out of 10.

This is my favorite installation of the series yet. Bee is still very wishy-washy and all of her back and forth, with the same excuse is getting a little frustrating. The chemistry between Hawke and Bee is sizzling and their intensity continues to grow. There was a decent amount of humor laced throughout as well.

There was also some progress in solidifying the boundaries between friendship and companionship. However, when an unforeseen, potential threat shows up, it is an unlikely source that comes to the rescue. Cyndi was also great in this one too. She is really coming into her own and her friendship with Belinda is only getting stronger. It seems that Bee finally made her choice (and I agree with her wholeheartedly). I'm nervous waiting for the other shoe to drop though...

I really LOVED this book!! First of all, if any of you have read Cynthia Sax's "The Seen Series", then you will appreciate how the author includes Gabriel Blaine from that series into this book!! As a huge fan, I was smiling ear to ear when he finally appeared. Not only that, but this book is SO hot!!! Just when you thought that the other 7 books were hot, you haven't seen anything yet. I loved the chemistry between Bee and Hawke very much, it was sexy and romantic that I can't wait to see what happens next in the book that comes out next month!! 5 stars all the way. Beautiful, sexy, erotic and I want more!!!!

Astonishing, astounding, it will make your head spin! I have never used the term "panty-melting" before, but SINFUL REWARDS 8 deserves it! Hot, scorching passion that reaches new heights, friendships are defined, broken and mended. Bee and Cyndi pick up the pieces and begin to move on. SINFUL REWARDS 8 is positively extraordinary, and even readers who have not followed the series should read this one. It is so powerful, so intense, in so many ways, that it can be read as a standalone. Do not miss it at any cost!

Hawke does it again.

Cynthia Sax has set a fire with her Sinful Rewards series. Instalment number 8 does not disappoint! In fact it has made this #teamNicolas woman cheer for Hawke and Belinda.
As the series continues I find myself falling in love with Hawke, but Nicolas is still my hope for Bee. I have a feeling that Mrs. Sax will surprise us in #12!

Waiting for next book patiently.....not

I love this series of stories, and can hardly wait for the next book. The relationships that Belinda has with the characters in the story are very interesting, and somewhat unexpected. When I get to the last page, I'm always left wanting more about her journey....and im excited to find out how it will all end.

both men try to prove they care

This part of the series shows that both men care for Bee. Bee has hope for the business adventure she is going into with her best friend. Cynthia Sax continues to hold you in the grips of this storyline. The passions are off the charts and very well written. I can hardly wait for the new section in this series. Well done Cynthia.
