Sinful Touch
He’s royalty. Ruthless. And used to getting exactly what he wants.
Payton doesn’t belong in my world of crowns and calculated lies—she’s too real, too raw. She thinks she can slip into my life for one night and vanish. But I’ve already decided… she’s mine.
She planned for a quick escape.
I plan to never let her go.
She hides in the shadows, playing it safe behind her clipboard and perfect smile but I see the fire underneath, and I want to be the one to unleash it. To claim it.
In my world, secrets are currency and power is a weapon. She doesn’t know it yet, but loving me comes with consequences. And I’ll burn kingdoms to the ground to protect her from every single one.
Now, she has a choice—run from what we’ve started, or risk everything to stand beside a man who would give up the throne for her.
Because I’m not just falling for her.
I’m ready to rewrite the rules for her.
And this time, I’m not asking.

Loved Sebastian and Payton. The sweet and spicy Dom/Sub relationship and the royal element, wrapped this story into a beautiful and intense story. Had me invested from beginning to end. I was definitely caught up in the intensity and naughtiness of this one.

Okay, royalty romance girlies, gather around. Adina D. Grey delivered exactly the kind of possessive, obsessive, “she’s mine from the second I saw her” hero I came here for, and Payton is such a fun heroine to pair him with. She’s clipboards and composure on the outside, absolute firestarter underneath, and watching him clock that within five minutes of meeting her? Chef’s kiss.
What worked for me:
• The “one night and vanish” setup is a trope I’ll never get tired of when it’s done like this. She’s planning her exit; he’s planning forever. The power imbalance is delicious.
• He’s ruthless in his world and completely unhinged about her in the best way. That “I’ll burn kingdoms to the ground” energy is not subtle and I am not asking it to be.
• The tension simmers. And simmers. And then… well. Let’s just say there’s a reason I read three chapters past my bedtime and had to take a little pause to recover.
• Payton has a spine. She pushes back. She doesn’t just fold the second a crown walks in the room, which made the eventual give-in so much more satisfying.
Small nitpicks keeping it at a 4: a couple of the “secrets are currency” political threads felt like they could’ve had more room to breathe, and I wanted one more scene in the back third before the resolution landed. But honestly? I was too busy being feral to care much in the moment.
If you love dark royal romance, obsessive heroes who would rewrite the literal rulebook for their girl, and a heroine who makes him work for it even a little, put this on your TBR immediately

He said run… but we all knew she wasn’t going anywhere.”
This book? Yeah… it had me in a chokehold from the jump.
We’ve got a ruthless, possessive, royalty-level alpha MMC who doesn’t just fall—he claims. And Payton? She thinks she can have one night and dip like this man isn’t about to rewrite her entire life. Cute. Adorable. Delusional.
The dynamic here is very much: “you should be scared of me” “I am… but also why is that hot?”
And listen… when he basically decides she’s his and the plot just spirals from there?? I ate that UP.
The world is dripping in power, secrets, and that “touch her and you die” energy. Mans literally gives off burn-the-kingdom-down-for-her vibes and doesn’t apologize for it not once.
What I loved:
Morally gray, obsessive MMC ✔️
Soft-for-her but terrifying-for-everyone-else energy ✔️
Tension that felt like it could snap at any second ✔️
That “you don’t get to leave me” vibe 😮💨
What held it back (just a little):
Some moments leaned more fantasy than emotional depth I wanted just a bit more internal chaos from Payton to match his intensity. But honestly? The vibes carried HARD.
Final thoughts:
If you love your men a little unhinged, a little controlling, and completely devoted in a “ruin your life but make it worth it” kind of way… this one is going to HIT.
Toxic? Yes.
Addictive? Also yes.
Would I let him ruin my life? …next question.

I was so lucky to be chosen as an ARC reader for Sinful Touch (Touch of Trouble Billionaire #3) by Adina D. Grey, and I absolutely loved this book. It checked every box on my reading list—steamy romance, action, suspense, and all the emotional tension I crave in a good love story.
Even though it’s connected to the first two books in the series, it can still be enjoyed as a standalone without feeling lost, which I really appreciated. That said, reading the series adds even more depth to the characters and their world.
Sebastian and Payton completely stole the show for me. Sebastian is intense, protective, and determined in the best way—especially when it comes to making sure Payton is his and only his. Their chemistry is undeniable, and the push-and-pull between them made the story even more addictive.
Overall, this book delivered everything I wanted and more. It’s the perfect mix of romance, suspense, and heat, and I couldn’t put it down. Definitely worth the read for anyone who loves a billionaire romance with strong chemistry and a bit of danger mixed in.

I have not read the first two books in this series, but that didn’t stop me from not being able to put this book down!
This is a Royalty/ Dom - Sub trope and I couldn’t eat this up fast enough.
The MMC is a prince and has relatable problems that you as a reader can connect to(I.e. carrying the world on your shoulders, making your family proud, etc.). His possessiveness is intoxicating and had me falling into the book like the world no longer existed.
The FMC is an intelligent, smart mouth woman. She stands for things she believes in and takes charge in her own way. The way she banters with Sebastian gives me life throughout the entire book.
A quick note of warning; if you do not like books where it’s a back and forth pov , this book is not for you.
If you’re fine with that, then I completely recommend diving into this book!
I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait to read the other books the author has put out or will continue to put out.
I was given the privilege of reading this book prior to release and I couldn’t be more grateful for it.

I had the opportunity to read this as an advanced copy from the author. Truthfully could not put it down in between my hectic schedule. I have not read books one and two of this series, yet I had a smooth time following along with all of the characters and their significance to the stories.
I do not usually disclose any spoilers, just know that this one hits all the promised points. FMC definitely became one of my favorite characters throughout this story. She is a strong, independent, outspoken woman who is definitely in charge of her life. She knows what she wants and goes for it. The confidence is contagious. She’s not easily intimidated, no matter the circumstance she’s in.
Easy read, great as a stand alone. I am looking forward to going back and reading book one and two to get more of this author.

There were a couple times while reading the plot jumps felt too sudden, but everything wove together really well at the end. I wasn't at a disadvantage at all having not read the first 2 books, it was very easy to pick up what I needed to know, but I do think reading the rest of the series would give a better sense of who the 'found family' was to each other, knowing some of their history, but I still thought the relationships were so strong. And despite the characters being young, they were never silly or vapidly so, they were real and grounded, and blessedly in touch with their communication! (I hate miscommunication tropes!) In the end I enjoyed the book, and will definitely go read the first 2. The only thing that didn't sit right - your green word and your safe word should never be the same word...

This is such a good book! I love the chemistry that is between Sebastian and Payton from the very beginning. Their interactions are easy and comfortable it was a pleasure to follow along.
The story itself is interesting and while I’m still dreaming of a prince to fall in love with, the reality would be so much more than just a simple love story and this book portrays that brilliantly.
All in all, a lovely romance and a lovely reading experience.

Unfortunately I had to DNF this book at 58%. I really wanted to Enjoy the story because the blurb sounded so amazing however the pacing was too slow for my liking and I was often confused due to plot jumps. I do think I would have been less confused had I read the previous 2 books in the series, but I just don’t enjoy the characters enough to continue with the slow pacing of the book.
I did receive this book as an eARC from the author. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to read this book and will definitely give her writing another shot in the future.

Oh my god Adina I Absolutely loved this book!!! So much so i will be going back and getting the authors back catalogue of books! 3rd in the series, but not having read the others didn't stop me from enjoying this book and understanding all of the characters. I absolutely Loved the relationship between the main characters and the "found family" as well as actual family. Definitely recommend add this to your TBR you won’t be disappointed.

This book should honestly come with a warning label because the spicy scenes are so spicy they’ll have you instinctively crossing your legs and looking around like you’ve been caught doing something you shouldn’t. The storyline grabs you with both hands and refuses to let go — zero chill, maximum chaos, and absolutely addictive. An excellent read from start to finish, and definitely a must‑read for anyone who loves their romance hot and their plot gripping.

I absolutely loved this story about Sebastian and Payton. Sebastian isn’t just a man, he’s a king, but he’s never found the one woman he wants to be with—until he attends an event and meets the organizer. Payton feels the spark between them instantly. Afterward, Sebastian can’t stop thinking about her. They meet again that night, and he ends up saving her. When someone else wants Payton for themselves, Sebastian will stop at nothing to protect her.

The book was just “ok” for me. I felt that the timeline jumped and was confusing. There were times that I didn’t know what was happening and was it because I hadn’t read books 1 and 2? Unfortunately, not. I will say that it did come together at the end and the bulk of my questions sort of got answered. Overall, it was ok and just really wasn’t my cup of tea. I’m glad to see so many other reviews where everyone loved it, so it may just be me.

This is the third book in the series. I have not read the other two books, but that did not hinder me from enjoying this book. I fell in love with the story and the main characters. The main characters are strong. I love the family between the friends. I will have to go back and read the first two books in this series.

3.5 ⭐️ Sinful Touch is a fast paced, romantic suspense. I enjoyed how quickly I was able to read and get into it but there was also some parts that felt forced or confused me on why they were part of the story. Overall a good read and was easy to lose myself in.

This is the third book in the Touch of Trouble series. It’s a thrilling romance. Lots of mystery, suspense and spice. I enjoyed Sebastian and Peyton’s fabulous story. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
April 29, 2026
This was a quick read! I love Sebastian and Payton and their insta love. This is a fast burn and has a twist to the story. They are both possessive when it comes to each other and protective of each other. I definitely recommend this book!
April 16, 2026
Great book loved the Dom/sub relationship, loved the royal trope, loved the characters, the flow of the story was great.
