Sin proves that passion goes beyond smoldering desire when hearts dance to their own special beat.

Every woman at the Devil’s Den strip club has a story to tell, and Macey Taylor is no exception. Smart and self-reliant, she’s got a chip on her shoulder, a broken heart, and no patience for a sexy new manager with an Ivy League pedigree and a strict set of rules. Macey prefers to break rules, something she lets Joshua Camden know from the start—even as he ignites a fire in her that goes beyond the hottest club in town.

Joshua is working the Devil’s Den for all it’s worth, learning everything he can about the adult-entertainment game before investing in a place of his own. Macey is a surprise: a woman as strong-willed as she is gorgeous. Joshua wants to get inside her world, to see through her eyes. But he soon discovers that seduction is a two-way street—and expecting redemption without risking his heart may be the greatest sin of all.

Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

If you've read any of the other books in this series then you know Macey. And hopefully you like her as much as I do!
She's hilarious and headstrong. I love it! She returns from a mini vacation to a cheating bf and a new boss at work.
The bf she can get over, but the new boss might be harder to deal with. The gorgeous Joshua Camden is there to class up the place and the dancers are not happy. He needs to get Macey on board with the changes so everyone else will fall in line. Immediately there's chemistry between Macey and Joshua. With their exes trying to win them back it seems there's no chance for Macey and Joshua to move on to their own happiness. All in all this was a pretty good book!

See more of my reviews on my blog Thoughts At One In The Morning.

My Thoughts:

I've seen other books in the Devil's Den series around, but didn't pick any of them up even though I was intrigued. When I finally got one of them, I was swept away in a hot romance that hits all the right spots.

Macey was perfection as a heroine. She isn't some weakling or pushover, she's strong and knows what she wants. When Joshua comes into the picture, it's only a matter of time before the two of them fall together. They can't get enough of each other. While they fulfill their desires, there are others trying to pull them away. Both of them are determined not to let anyone get between them, but sometimes certain things happen that mess up the best of intentions. Are each of them strong enough to seek out the truth?

Sin is a super sexy thrill ride of a novel. The steam and romance held me all the way to the end. My only issue is the conflict--it was so obvious to me what really happened but the characters were too headstrong and immediately assumed the worst. Other than that little thing, I thought the story was great and I'd like to read the rest by Violetta Rand.

My Rating: Very Good

I received an ARC through Random House publishing for an honest review.

Maybe I should've read the previous three books of this series to get a better understanding of the characters, but I think I managed to make do...

Macey & Joshua - quite the chemistry. Insta-love overload.
Tons of drama, steam, and frustration.

I think the premise of the story was okay. There was just a ton going on that I couldn't even keep up with. Macey was a bit of a loosey-goosey, completely confused, never gave her heart an opportunity to really heal before jumping into something with another guy.

While Joshua was a likable "another guy" he too had his own issues that he was dealing with and continued to deal with well after when he shouldn't have (ex: the Ex).

Then there was Macey's flip-flop feelings for Bishop (don't worry, not a love triangle...just emotional confusion). It made you question did she actually, truly love Joshua?

I guess the ending gives us the answer to all that drama...

Josh's attraction to Macey is literally the fastest attraction I've ever seen it took two seconds for that boy to fall, " instant effing erection. I first my hands at my sides, more than tempted to grab a couple handfuls of her a**." He's an eager one where his woman is concerned, "I kick my shoes and socks off, stripping down to my underwear. "Pick a spot, Darlin', there's no stopping now." The wine and food could wait." I love this series and it's characters I'm always excited when I see a new one.

Sin has passion, excitement, desire and a love story you won’t be able to resist. Sometimes love doesn’t always come in the package you expect. It takes just the right person to see past your walls and be able to break them down.

Macey Taylor works at the Devil’s Den strip club, she likes her life and has no plans to change her path. She’s a smart, independent, tough chick, but even tough girls get their hearts broken. When Macey’s boyfriend breaks up with her and shatters her faith in relationships, she decides she’s done with men. Upon her return from her vacation, she finds things have changed at the Devils Den there’s a new boss with strict rules and an Ivy League degree. She doesn’t have the time or the patience for his employee handbook she would rather hit him over the head with it than read it. However, there’s something about Joshua Camden and his gorgeous face that has her feeling things she swore she would never feel again.

Joshua Camden is going to turn the Devil’s Den into the best strip club in Texas if it’s the last the thing does. He won’t let anyone stand in his way not his ex-fiancée’s cheating or the feisty dancer Macey Taylor, who is determined to get under his skin. She is nothing like any woman he has ever met before he finds her sarcastic wit and feisty demeanor refreshing. He also can’t help but notice she is sexy as hell he wants to get to know every delicious inch of her body and maybe her mind too. She surprises him at every turn she makes him want to risk his heart again. Can he trust her not to break it?

Sin is the third book in the Devil’s Den series and I thought it was one of the better ones. I was curious about Macey’s story from when we meet in her book one. She intrigued me with her sassy attitude and fierce loyalty to her friends. The story line has the instant love that the other two books had but that’s okay with me, it’s a fictional love story after all and a very good one at that. Macey’s childhood was not the best she lost her mother at a very young age and then abandoned by her father. The only thing he ever did for her left her money from his gambling winnings as a professional card player. Daddy of the year he was not. Macey always had to look after herself and she did it well, on occasion letting her guard down like when she sort of feel for Wesley the cowboy who ends up breaking her heart.

When Macey meets up with Joshua Camden on her first day back at the Devil’s Den, sparks fly immediately. The chemistry between these two characters was off the charts sexy. He pursues her relentlessly no matter how much she tries to push him away. He wants to show her that he wants her for more than just a one-night stand he wants to give the long haul a shot. Joshua never thought he would feel this way again, but Macey brings it out in him. Thrown into the mix is Joshua’s neighbor and longtime family enemy Bishop. Bishop is attracted to Macey and tries to break them up at every turn I wasn’t too crazy about that part of the story. Suddenly Macey is indecisive about what she wants because of a little attention from a guy she barely knows. In the end, he turns into a treasured friend and I realized why the author added him to the story. Just when it seems that Macey and Joshua could really make a go of it, Joshua’s ex-fiancée tries to win him back. There was a lot of the usual angst we read in our romance novels, but it was good, I cried I laughed I got mad. A story that really brings out the emotions in me always gets to me.

I really enjoyed the banter between Macey and Joshua they really were a great match for each other. The sex scenes are well written and thought out, as were the scenes when Macey and Joshua laid their feelings out on the line.
Overall, I thought it was a great addition to the series, I definitely recommend reading the other two books before reading this one so you can get a better understanding of Macey’s character. I will be looking forward to reading more from Violetta in the future.

Sin

4.5 stars

I received an ARC through Random House publishing for an honest review.

Macey Taylor has long been known as the party girl and wild child of the Devils Den club but not everything is as it seems. Macey has been on her own for most of her life, having lost her mom to a broken heart and having a father that wasn't much of a father at all, she knows that she she is only person that she can truly count on because each time she seems to let her guard down, she gets hurt. Case is point, after taking a vacation to Paris, she came back to discover that everything had changed at home and not for the better.

Joshua Camden took the job at the Devils Den hoping to make it into one of the top gentlemen's clubs known to man but that means that things must change. Changes that not everyone are happy with, in fact changes that most of the dancers are not happy with at all but he knows that if he can get Macey on board with the changes the other girls will follow. There's only one problem, he finds that he has feelings for Macey from the very first meeting and she's determined not to cave.

I've followed this series from the beginning and Macey has always been an enigma. The party girl that lived in a mansion, always seemed to have more money then she could spend, someone that was always there for her friends when they needed her but pushed them away when she needed help herself. Now you finally get to know Macey and hear story.

This was another great book Violetta Rand! I loved every minute of it with the exception of what Joshua did to her on Valentine's Day. Anyone with half a brain could have figured out what really happened and he was a jerk. I'm not sure that I could have been as forgiving as Macey was. Another thing that bothered me about this book wasn't a major issue but I didn't like that it was written with both Macey and Joshua's POV but switched back an forth in the middle of the chapters. It was often confusing. Other than that the writing itself was flawless. I can't wait until the next book in the series is released!

Wow good book. I loved it, couldn't put it down. Macey is a dancer at the Devils Den, she's been on an extended European vacation over Christmas & comes home to 2 major changes. First change her boyfriend of over a year is cheating on her & second change there's new management at the Den. Hot new management who is changing all the rules & Macey isn't happy. Joshua is the hot new manager of the Devils Den, he's working there to get an idea of how the club is run so that he can one day run his own gentlemen's club. Upon Macey's return she starts to buck against the system that Joshua has set up & this brings them into the close quarters of his office. Joshua has a painful past as well, he caught his fiancée cheating on him & now he looks at all women with judgment, espcecially Macey because from first sight of her he's wanted her. Macey is known for her parties & the club DJ invites Joshua to it unbeknownst to Macey. When they meet up at her place sparks fly but don't get followed through completely. Now Joshua is interested, he just has to get Macey interested. But like always someone has to cause trouble & that would be Macey's ex-boyfriend who doesn't want to let Macey go now because he's found out exactly what Macey's net worth is & Joshua's ex-fiancée Julia has come to get him back because it didn't work out with the man she cheated with, plus throw in Joshua's next door neighbor the hated Dr. Singletary who Joshua's had a personal feud with for more than a decade whose been hitting on Macey any chance he gets. Julia sets in motion an event that will tear Macey & Joshua apart & make Macey rethink her life & what she wants to do with it. Is there a future for Macey & Joshua? Has Julia done irreparable damage to the relationship? Can she get Joshua back now? Definite recommend.

ARC provided by netgalley for an honest review. In this book we meet Macey. She is on her way home from a 6 week vacation. At the time she is currently dating a guy named Wesley. When her plane lands after she meets her boyfriend things go down hill. She over hears her boyfriends conversation and her good mood and sprit leave her. Things go from bad to worse when she gets home. Anyways she works in a strip club called the Devil's Den. Things have changed at her place of work while she was away on vacation. She is the type of girl who doesn't like new rules and she is mad at the new manager of the club but when she meets him she pegs him right away by calling him Ivy League which I thought was so funny. Joshua Camden is a very sexy man he is attracted to Macey from the moment he meets her. The chemistry between them start at a party Macey decides to throw. All the while Joshua's ex and Macey's ex try to weasel their ways back. When Julia enters the picture I didn't like her right away. I knew something was wrong with her and I wanted to beat her stupid. She was a spoiled little rotten princess who thinks the world should be handed to her. Through out the story Joshua and Macey start to fall in love but keep it to themselves. Joshua takes Macey to meet his mother and Julia shows up of course she would she is trying to hard to get him back. Joshua's Mother likes Macey which is a plus since her ex never let her meet his family. To her this is step in the right direction. We have bad blood between Bishops family and Joshua so it turns into a pissing contest between the two of them for Macey's affections. Joshua is very possessive when it comes to Macey. They are happy together and get along well. Then Someone has to go and try to mess them up wont tell you if they mange to do it or not you have to read the book yourself. But it was a great read and I enjoyed reading it.

Walk in to the Devil's Den where all your wildest imaginations will come true.

Macey Taylor revels in the fact that she is every guy's walking dream. She knows just what her body is capable of and isn't afraid of using it. She's a stripper and she's proud of that fact. Unfortunately her boyfriend isn't. After coming home from spending Christmas alone due to the fact that her boyfriend didn't want her to meet his family due to her job she finds out at the airport bar that he's been cheating on her while she's away. Having enough self respect she kicks his ass to the curb and heads back to work. Only the Devil's Den isn't the same place that she left. The new manager is changing things and if there is one thing about Macey that everyone knows, its that she doesn't like change.

Joshua is planning on turning the Den into a respectable gentleman's club. He knows that the only way to do this is to get Macey in line with his plan. The other girls respect her and will only follow her. What Joshua wasn't expecting was the charge that he felt when next to Macey. Soon, neither of them can deny the feelings and embark on a relationship. What they don't realize is that others want them back. With every new relationship comes unexpected challenges. Will Macey and Joshua be strong enough in their belief in each other to get through this or will they fall apart?

With scenes that will have you panting and wet; this book is one that you won't be able to put down until the very steamy end.

Rand brings the Devil’s Den to life in such a vivid manner that I really feel as if I’ve been there. She brings the world of dancers to life, showing that there’s so much more to it. Rand takes us deep into the lives of her characters, allowing us to experience every aspect of their lives. Pain and loss combine with romance and hope in a fantastic manner that kept me hooked.

Finding out more about Macey’s history makes her so much more of a palatable & understandable character. The contrast between her and Joshua proves that opposites definitely do attract. Rand’s writing has a natural flow that mirrors the characters’ thoughts. The raw, gritty lives of the characters are really brought out through it. The tension, understanding, and need in this relationship is off the charts. It’s contagious. The supporting cast really fills out this story well. I may have an epic dislike for the exes in this one, but Bishop is off the charts. His creepy vibe put him on my ‘watch’ list from the get-go.

This was a fantastic addition to Rand’s Devil’s Den series. I loved getting this closer look at Marcy’s life. Seeing her come out of her pain and suffering, accepting herself was just the tip of the iceberg in this fantastic tale.

4 stars!

Macey Taylor, one of the most popular dancers at the Devil's Den, returns home from vacation to a cheating Wesley. She heads back to work attempting to get back to 'normal', but is now facing a new club. The Devil's Den has been taken over by the new manager Joshua Camden. Joshua is a pain in the arse with all his rules/regulations, but also tempts Macey. While she's tending to her hurt ego, things start to spark between she and Joshua.
Joshua Camden was intrigued with Macey before he even meet her. Once they meet, her sassy mouth and incredible looks, are everything he wants and more. He, too, was burned by his ex, and will he be able to move past both their damaged histories. Macey battles his ex, while Joshua has his hands full with her ex, his neighbor, and every other guy!
I liked who Macey became in this book, but it was a stretch from who she was in previous books. I wasn't sure about Joshua since he seems to be from the 'other side of the fence', but they are a great match for each other.
Lots of insecurities, building from their opposite upbringings, but great chemistry. Another great read in this series! It was also great to have previous characters come back for parts of the story. Who's up next???

I actually like this one the most out of the entire series!

I've always kinda like Macey in all of the books and was excited for this one. I was hoping for Wesley to be in this one but Joshua was perfect, and I really loved him. He comes really close to kicking Craig out of his spot at being the my favorite of the Devils Den Boys.

I love how Macey pushed the limits with the new rules at the club. It was a given that she would because she's feisty and usually gets what she wants. Seeing more of her and learning her story was great, because the fact is is that she was a bit of a mystery. I always wondered why she danced at the club if she had enough money to live so lavishly.

So in walks the new club manager with the all these new ideas and from the get go he is into Macey and he wants her. He was oh so dreamy but as I said he didn't top Craig...... But he's a deliciously hot hero that will also melt your heart.

I've seen a lot of growth in the writing throughout this series. The story line holds your attention its a hot and sexy read that you just wont want to put down. I look forward to more from this author as well.

In this installment we get to know Macey better. Macey is returning from an extended vaction, thinking that its time to spend some quality time with her Boyfriend, Wesley only to overhear a conversation he is having with another girl. Then her saving grace the Devil's Den, where she has been a headlining stripper, has new management. The new manager, Joshua has implemented some new rules, and Macey well she just isn't a rule following kind of gal. But, at their first meeting they both have an instant attraction for one another, although they fight it for all it's worth.

In true, Violetta Rand fashion this story is filled with sexual tension, hot sex, ex's that you want to tar and feather. We all know the road to true love isn't paved in gold, but the ride is worth the outcome if Macey and Joshua can get it together.

Sin stands well on it's own, however, I would highly recommend that you read the series in order.

What a hot, sexy, and exhilarating ride Sin was! Joshua and Macey compliment one another and have a deep rooted need for each other. I loved seeing from both of their views. Macey has a ton of issues stemming from her childhood. Joshua has his own that stem from his cheating ex-fiancé.

Macey comes back from Europe to a new boss and a cheating boyfriend she makes an ex. She shouldn't be and doesn't want to be attracted to her new boss. Joshua just makes it so hard to resist him, especially when he shows he cares about her. Joshua doesn't expect Macey to have the impact she does on him and can't help but pursue her. The story weaves through exes that can't let go, jealousy, falling in love, and finding the person that is right for you. The writing allows for the reader to easily get lost in the words on the page. The characters are charming and quite modern. The story line is engaging and wraps up with a happy ending.

The Devil's Den ... from a strip club to a refined gentlemen's club? Is this possible? Joshua Camden comes in full of ideas as the new manager of the club and fully expects to test his ideas here before branching out and creating his own.

Macey is the unknown factor. She is a mystery to those who do not know her. Why work at a strip club if you do not need to work? This is her outlet... dancing. As long as the men keep their slimy hands to themselves, she has no problem showing that she is as talented as she is beautiful.

I read this book and could not believe how much I enjoyed it. This is my first book by this author and I loved her writing style. The plot line was also believable, a rarity sometimes in this genre, which added interest to the story. I will be picking up more titles by this author to see if she is to become one of my favorites.

I am still fanning myself after reading Sin because it was definitely one hot, steamy, and absolutely sexy read! I think this is one of those stories that could melt my e-reader if it was possible! Sin is the third novel in the Devil’s Den series, and it is about Robyn and Marisela’s stripper friend Macey. Violetta does a wonderful job of showing us what is under Macey's tough, cynical outer shell, and just wait until you meet Joshua! I can not wait to see if Violetta continues with this series!

Third book in the Devil's Den series. I loved both Macey and Joshua. We have grown familiar with Macey in the first two books, so it was great to read her story. I hated what Wesley did to her at the beginning. I think that Joshua was perfect for her. They both came from past relationships where they were betrayed. They learned to to trust again with each other. Julia was a nut case! I was a it upset with Joshua for not questioning what what on but was happy when he came to his senses.

I enjoyed this series. Will look forward to reading more from this author.

I enjoyed this book a lot, the pages flew by. However, I was under the expression that this was a stand alone in a series - which it is not. To get the full experience as well as an understanding for Macy and her background I would recommend reading the other to previous books in the series.

There were drama, hot sex, hot guys, hot girls and it made for a quick fun read.

The ending was a bit rushed but overall I found the book really good.

I loved this installment of the Devil's Den stories. This one centered on Macey-the party animal and Joshua, the club's new manager. The chemistry between them was so hot. There was enough conflict with exes and arch nemesis. I loved seeing characters from the other books make an appearance and can't wait for the next book! Love the happy endings!

Macey and Joshua can't fit falling for each other, even though they have completely different backgrounds.

After reading the rest of the series, it was hard to imagine a guy that Macey would fall for, but Joshua delivers.

Another hot and steamy read for Violetta Rand.

**JOSIE'S REVIEW**

This is the 3rd book in this series and I will admit that I have wanted this character’s story since I read the first book. Once again this author has delivered an amazing story that is heartfelt, intriguing and honestly deals with the consequences of betrayal. The main characters are well developed and so likeable. The Devil’s Den is a strip club, but the staff all have a story behind their eyes and their dance. I have loved all the stories in this series but this one is hands down my favorite one. The story is told in dual POV’s and we are introduced to a new hottie. Once I started to read it I could not put it down. I was consumed and it just held by attention until the very end. This book gives us a hot sexy alpha male, a heroine that is feisty and sassy, drama, crazy ex’s and some really hot sex – oh and stripping!

“When’s the next party?”

“Let me check the calendar. I think Monday is bubble-wrap appreciation day?”

“Where do you get this sh*t?”

“Daysoftheyear.com. Let’s have a bubble-wrap costume party.”


Macey’s character is one that all woman will love. She is smart, independent, sassy and does not take crap from anyone. However, appearances can be deceiving. Macey has abandonment issues that stem back to her parents. If that isn’t enough then just to add to her problems she comes home to find that her current boyfriend, Wesley, is cheating on her. Macey loves her job and is happy in her skin but to be to be put down because of her job by her boyfriend cuts her deep. 6 weeks later she Returns to the Devil’s Den thinking that’s just what she needs to get over all she’s been dealing with. However a lot can happen in 6 weeks. The Devil’s Den has a new manager, Joshua. Macey is a rule breaker. She loves to take risks and be free and this Ivy League man’s strict set of rules does not sit well with her. Even though Joshua stirs something deep in Macey she is prepared to give him and his rules a fight.

“This is a joke, right?”

“If you open to chapter seven, you’ll find a new safety protocol has been initiated.

“Safety plan? This is a topless bar, not a manufacturing plant.”


Joshua is finally doing something that he has always dreamed of, running Devil’s Den. He wants to learn the ins and outs of the Adult entertainment business so he can eventually start his own business. His character is not what he seems at all. He is sexy, confident and is still dealing with the betrayal of his ex, Julia. Even though his family has money, he is not stuck up or a snob. He is real and wants more out of life. He doesn’t see Macey’s career choice as something to be ashamed of. Meeting Macey took him by surprise because not only is she beautiful but she is also determined. Joshua wants Macey. He wants to learn more about her and claim her.

“I’m comfortable with who I am, Joshua.”

“That’s one of the things I admire most about you.”

“You’ve only known me for a week.”

“I’m not going to hurt you.”

“That’s what he said.”

“I’m not Wesley, choose, Macey.”


Joshua and Macey have a chemistry that is so strong and intense that it could felt throughout this book. I loved their banter and their connection. It just felt so natural and believable. The more time they spent together the more they learned about each other and their feelings become stronger. They are both dealing with broken hurts and feelings of inadequacy and major trust issues. Together they try to work these feelings and issues. Just as they start to settle into their relationship their pasts come back and will do anything to keep them apart.

“You’re suspicious, I’m skeptical. Where does that leave us?”

“On equal ground. Wesley and Julia cheated. I’m over her darlin’. I’d say you and I have more moral clarity then the average person after what we’ve been through. For me, that translate into hope.”

“I’ll never cheat. And if my mind starts to wander, I promise to let you know up front. NO games.”


While reading this story, neither Joshua nor Macey were completely honest about their true feelings about each other. The author shows how much Macey character opens up and settles into her relationship, the same as with Joshua but he can be possessive and quick to react. When the past is determined not to go away a cruel and dangerous plan is set in motion. One that will change things drastically for the couple. I loved every thing about this story. I got lost with the characters and their story. Sometimes learning to let go of the past is not easy and there will always be left over scars. Will Joshua ad Macey finally get rid of their ex’s? Will Joshua and Macey be able to find their happiness together? Pick this book up and fall in love with Joshua and Macey.

Complimentary copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

The Devil’s Den certainly has a high turnover ratio when it comes to management. The first two books saw the heads of security come and go as they’ve found love and in this installment, we meet Joshua, the new manager. He’s Ivy-league educated with a Masters degree and is looking to take the Den to the next level. He has a higher standard and wants to see more of a gentleman’s club atmosphere, a stark contrast to the slightly seedy club frequented by bikers and other average strip club clients. He’s got a new book of rules and regulations and a heavy hand, but when he meets Macey, he’s immediately realizes he may have just met his match.

Macey has been working at the Den for years and spent a whole lot of time growing up there, the manager’s officer her hangout while her dad was off gambling. The Den has always been her second home so when Henry, the Den’s manager, has a heart attack while she’s off on a Parisian vacation, she stumbles back into a club that only cosmetically resembles the club she left. Many of her fellow dancers have up and left, not wanting to adhere to the new management’s strict policies. She’s always been the one that the girls go to for help, the most even-keeled one in a dressing room chock full of estrogen. So when she goes to meet Joshua and find out what all the changes are about, she’s not expecting to meet someone that is at the same time so infuriating as well as irresistible.

There is no denying the nearly immediate attraction between Macey and Joshua, but as you might expect, there is a lot of baggage between the two of them. They’ve both been on the wrong end of relationships that ended with infidelity and they’re left with trust issues. In fact, Macey was just dumped by her boyfriend after he cheated on her while she was in Paris, his excuse being “I’ll never be able to take you to meet my parents”. Macey is comfortable with who she is and where she came from, but after her recent breakup, she can’t help but be a little leery of becoming a part of Joshua’s upper crust world. Is she just setting herself up for heartache yet again?

But it’s not just their professions and their differences that are conspiring to keep them apart. They each have dirty little secrets that will come back to haunt them, dooming them before they even really get a start. Will their attraction to each other be enough to beat the odds?

Of the three books in the Devil’s Den series thus far, Macey has always been my favorite character. She has a lust for life and lives passionately, no matter what the endeavor. She has not let the circumstances of her upbringing dictate who she has become and won’t let others change her. But in Sin we get to see a little bit more vulnerability, which makes her character very genuine. We get a better idea of the relationships she holds close, primarily with her best friend and fellow dancer, Robyn. The way that she falls for Joshua and how she cautiously gives her heart to him makes for a great love story. Don’t get me wrong though, as you’ve come to expect with Rand’s work, there is a whole lot of heat! The sexual sparks fly and the two of them together are HOT!

There were a couple of elements of the story that may be a little predictable, but there were others that you will not see coming! Rand has a gift for keeping the reader on their toes, whether it is through her descriptive sex scenes or the hints of intrigue, there is never a dull moment.

This is the third book in the Devil’s Den series and can be read as a standalone, however in order to get the bigger picture, primarily the way in which each of the characters lives are woven with others, I suggest your read the series in order. If you’re looking for a hot read with heart, you can’t go wrong with this series!

My ‘Blogging Reader’s Review’after reading
an ARC Copy of ‘SIN' (Devil's Den Series book #3)
(via:BooksMoviesFandoms.wordpress.com):


In the third and final installment of the Devil’s Den Series by author Violetta Rand, we get to see the story following Robyn’s best friend Macey. This has been a wonderfully-hot and enjoyable series and it’s bittersweet to know that it is over. This novel is of the Adult and Contemporary Romance genre and definitely touches on the erotic and steamy aspects of the story. Sin is written in the two main character’s P.O.V.’s(point of views): Macey Taylor and Joshua Camden.

Main characters Robyn (main character of Surrender) and her younger sister Marisela Gonzalez (main character of Surrender), are mentioned in “Sin”. We see where their lives are now. The main character of “Sin” is Robyn’s former co-worker stripper-best-friend, Macey Taylor. She is beautiful with sexy skills on the stage, long black hair, a blunt personality and the funds that allow her to enjoy lavish trips on occasion. When Macey returns from a nice long getaway vacation to Paris minus her boyfriend Wesley who stayed back in Corpus Christi, she finds herself facing new changes in her life. Some wanted changes and some tough ones. The Devil’s Den Strip Club has a new assistant manager by the name of Joshua Camden who is making big changes and Macey isn’t one to stay quiet about things that she’s not happy with when it comes to the way things were before. This causes instant tension between the two.

The new manager of the Devil’s Den Gentlemen’s Club, Joshua Camden, is ready to make improvements to the club since he’s been given the go-ahead by the owner. What Joshua didn’t expect was his instant attraction and pull toward Macey. Joshua Camden comes from a family of money but wanted to take on the job at the Devil’s Den regardless. In the process his fiance, Julia Henderson, left him to move to New York to be with another man named Clark who lived the lifestyle that fit her elite life. When Julia breaks up with Clark and tries to get Joshua to take her back, he’s left in his own tough situation with an ex like Macey is dealing with her own. Will Macey and Joshua give their ex’s a chance again? Or will they both try out their chances at the undeniable attraction that they share and give into that instead?

Sin is the final installment of the Devi’s Den Series and it definitely goes out with a bang. This is a series worth reading because it is full of entertaining storyline and steamy scenes. With the similar relationship issues that Macey and Joshua both recently experienced, it gives them a common connection but also makes it hard for them to trust each other fully. There is nothing better than watching two characters with a believable and strong connection grow closer throughout a story. This entire series is truly worth reading. Pick up your copies of these novels when you’re in need of reading something sexy, gripping and exciting to read.


My star rating for SIN is: 4 out of 5 stars.
