oh how I love this series. Sad to see it go but so happy with the ending.

This series just continues to get better and better. I can’t believe this amazing series is over. Everything about this series was magical and I am so freaking happy with this ending, it honestly couldn’t have ended better.

Bee Carter finally has everything she could ever want. She has her man, a safe secure house, her mom is safe and she has a real family and friends. She couldn’t ask for more and now her worst nightmare may be coming true, she may be pregnant and even though Hawke has offered to marry her she doesn’t want him to do it out of obligation she wants him to want her forever. Hawke isn’t going to let Bee think he doesn’t want her so now he’s taking everything he knows to show Bee just how much forever with her means to him.

Ah swoon I honestly don’t know where to begin. I honestly didn’t think I was going to like this series at all. I have sworn off erotica novels, but I signed up for the blog tour promoting the third book in this series on a whim. After grabbing the first two on Amazon for $0.99 I immediately fell in love with the adorable Bee and her story.

Bee has grown so much through this series. At first she was insecure about herself, her friends, and whether she was worthy of being loved or not. Now she’s a strong independent woman who has found her inner strength. While she still has insecurities I think that makes her character that much better. Bee is realistic in every way and I loved reading about her.

Hawke is such a perfect guy. He is loving and caring and just beyond perfect for Bee. He has confidence and strength beyond imagination and he uses all that to protect and love Bee.

I loved this series so much and while I am sad to see it go I am really happy this series had such an amazing ending.

Thank you Cynthia Sax for making this amazingly sexy and inspiring series of strength and love.

This review was originally posted on Cocktails and Books.

Cynthia Sax ties up the story of Hawke, Nicolas and Bee in this final installment in the SINFUL REWARDS series.  Throughout the series, we were often left to wonder which man Bee was going to choose.  If she would go for love or would it be money.  But in the end, Bee ended up getting everything she wanted in the one man she didn't think could give it to her.

I've loved Hawke from the beginning and he's who I wanted Bee with.  Even when she was unwilling to open her eyes to fully see what was in front of her, I knew Hawke was going to be the one to show her she could be the dirty, naughty girl she liked to be in private with the woman who was loyal and protective of those she held dear.  It took her a while, but by #10 in the series, she'd finally seen it.  And by 12, she finally understood that even though Hawke may not say the three little words so was longing to hear, he showed her just how much he loved her in other ways.

I've enjoyed this novella series.  Even though Bee, at times, got on my nerves, I was invested in the series and needed to know if Bee was going to get that HEA she was so desperately grabbing for.  It took a bit of work and a lot of self reflection for Bee to realize that the grass isn't always greener, but she did end up finding exactly what she wanted and needed.This book was reviewed by a member of the review staff at Cocktails and Books.

Thank heavens Hawke is such a great character. Bee is infuriatingly insufferable. I hurt myself often rolling my eyes. I would've thrown my ereader many times because I wanted to shake her hard. Hawke saved this series of novellas. Nicholas and Cyndi too. If not for the supporting cast, I wouldn't have read the entire series.

A few thoughts.
***I cannot believe that I have been on this sinful ride with Cynthia Sax for a whole YEAR now! My eyes tear up a little thinking about the whole in my heart that will not be filled with my monthly dose of Bee, Hawke and Nicolas.
***Purple! What a perfect way to end. It is my favorite color. And speaking of covers - How hot is this one?!? *fans self*
***I saw a lot of talk that there was little need for a 12 because 11 was pretty well ended. Let me tell you something I have learned... Cynthia doesn't write to fill pages. Everything in 12 was needed. Period.

A proposal of epic proportions happens at a not so epic time causing doubt to fill Bee's mind. My heart ached for Hawke. This man of few words may not verbalize the feelings he feels, but he shows her. Hawke, once again, understands what Bee needs to feel no doubt. In his unique way, he sums it up perfectly:

"My lame-a** proposal, my offer to permanently fuse my life with yours, wasn't enough, was it?" He bites off each word. "You need more from me."
He's angry and hurt. I hurt the man I love.
"I-"
"I'll get you more, sweetheart." Hawke puts a sarcastic twist on this endearment. "I'll get you so much damn proof, you won't have room for doubt. We'll settle this insecurities s*** once and for all."

And he leaves. OUCH! And then who better to show up, then my all-time favorite crappy friend - Mr. Nicolas Rainer. YAY! I adore his tone and snark. When Bee goes on and on (and on...) about how Hawke doesn't love her because their situation doesn't match the movies (hehe) - he stops her and simply says

"Don't you have an article on this?"
I love him for this. I love Nicolas for his blunt manner of speech. Similar to Hawke in the way of being blunt - but oh so different. His eyes sparkle. "I've never said I love ice cream." He shovels the sweet treat into his mouth with a boyish glee. "But I do. Very much." His lips curl upward. Let's talk about my feelings in regards to my jellybean billionaire. First, I was #TeamNicolas for a large portion of this series. Even when it was obvious that Hawke was her person. Nicolas has something about him that calls to my soul. Or maybe it is just the love for jellybeans that he and I share. When I finally converted to the dark side and joined #TeamHawke, I fell for Nicolas on an entirely different level. His loyalty to Hawke and the protective vibe he had with Bee was beyond sweet...sprinkled with the perfect amount of sarcasm. Hawke plans this perfect scenario for Bee - everything she has always wanted - and offers her the grand gift of proving to everyone she is not who they think... and Bee makes me SO STINKIN PROUD in her reaction and her realizations that none of that matters. She has her man, she has her true friends (even if they are terrible...hehe) her Mom and she has her life. That is all that matters. Bee, Nicolas and Hawke were bound to have a fun dynamic once they got together, and they don't let me down with the asking of him to be the best man:
"I'll also need a best man, someone who doesn't mind wearing a tux and can make it through an entire speech without cussing... The pickings are slim."
"I'll be a terrible best man." His eyes shimmer with moisture.
Those can't be tears. The billionaire would never cry.
"I'll send you some articles."
So much of this story warmed my heart. Seeing the final pieces of this story come together was breathtaking. All the players in Bee's life that she didn't think would come together did - and for one beautiful reason: The love Bee & Hawke share. The final part I want to share is my favorite because it shows Lona, Cyndi and Nicolas (along with Bee's mother in the background) all together in the name of Bee.
Nicolas gazes at me, appreciation in his brown eyes. "Are you trying to get me killed, Miss LaMarre? I'm not commenting on the attractiveness of our bride-to-be. I like my head where it is."
"Stuck up your a**," Cyndi mutters.
...
"Straight men don't know about fashion.: Kenzie is on Cyndi's side.
"Maybe not.: Nicolas's voice is curt and clipped. "But this straight man does know he'd rather not look at his best friend's nipples all night."
"She's not your best friend." Cyndi jumps to her feet. "She's mine."

Cynthia simply put - made a series that glowed throughout the entire 12 installments. You fell in love, had your heart broken, made friends for life and realized that you are stronger than you thought, braver than you thought and deserve all life has to offer. This series was more than an erotic tale of love - it was about family, blood and not; friendship, simple and not; striving for all you deserve and want while surviving all the world is going to hit you with. Perfection. Beautiful. A series I will read again and again.

We've traveled down a long road with Bee and Hawke and I'm so sad to see that the series come to an end. That said, what a hell of a journey it's been! We've seen Bee and Hawke really grow to understand one another and amplify each other's good qualities (and dirty fantasies, of course). Bee has gone from a neurotic, clean freak who doubts her love-ability, to a cat-owning, messy-love-making, confident-in-her-exhibitionist-tendencies, motorcycle-riding entrepreneur. She starts her own business and takes charge of her future, in spite of the paparazzi stationed outside her door. And most impressive of all, she goes after her man, overcoming her fear of the dark and her personal insecurities to fight for what she wants.

Hawke. per usual, is the sweet and thoughtful, tattooed mountain of a marine that we all long for. He sweeps Bee off her feet with the most touching—and permanent—gestures, without sacrificing one iota of that protective alpha swagger that melts so many panties. There's really not much more to say about Hawke's perfection besides the fact that he will always have a special place in my Book Boyfriend Hall of Fame. I think he has more than earned it.

Much like the previous installments, Sinful Rewards 12 is a total scorcher. Bee seems more overtly vocal in the bedroom and I think it's really fitting with the growth and evolution she has undergone, and her confidence in Hawke's love of her inner pervert. With two dirty mouths in the mix things are definitely hotter than ever.

Sinful Rewards 12 also features my very favorite scene with Nicholas, Bee's billionaire best friend. I haven't been a big supporter of Nicholas in the past because he usually comes off as entitled, forbidding and selfish. Throughout the series I respected Bee for being faithful to him as a friend (even after she made it clear they would remain completely platonic) although I didn't think he deserved her friendship and would only end up causing drama for her. But Nicholas' antagonism towards Francois is hilariously adorable and one of the first times I actually respected him as a friend. I can't wait to see if he gets his own story and if my respect for him as a character continues to grow once I get to see a different side of him.

Although it's sad to say goodbye to the Sinful Rewards world, Bee and Hawke, this has definitely been one of my favorite serials I've read to date. There was so much character growth throughout the series and enough sweet, romantic moments to create a deep sense of connection to the lovers. This series was just straight-up scalding, and one I'm sure I'll revisit again in the future. I'm really looking forward to reading whatever Cynthia Sax brings to the table next and I've definitely become a die-hard fan from reading this series. I'm extremely hopeful that we'll be seeing some more flashes of Bee and Hawke popping up in future series and possibly individual series for Cyndi and Nicholas. I definitely recommend picking up all twelve installments of Sinful Rewards and reading them back-to-back, because once you start you won't want to put them down.

So this is one of the hardest reviews that I have ever had to write. Not because there is anything wrong with Sinful Rewards 12, oh no! Far from it. As weird as this sounds it’s like I am having to goodbye to friends, without knowing if I would ever see them again!
When we started this series 12 months ago; and even though I absolutely hate series books, this is Cynthia Sax we are talking about! So based solely on the author and her amazing talent! I jumped in to this series, not really knowing anything about it. But within the first few pages, that all changed.
We met Bee and her best friend Cyndi, which were a very unlikely duo, Bee being a small town girl, raised by a single Mom and treated like pariah. Cyndi is wealthy, silver spoon kid, who just wants to be loved and accepted. Then we meet Nicolas; he is a billionaire, who doesn’t know how to be a friend and I think on some levels, he likes it that way. Then there is Hawke; Ex-marine, Bodyguard and the only man that could make Bee though out all of her best laid plans.
There are times throughout this series, that at least one of the characters has annoyed me, but never Bee, until the first chapter of book 12! When she questions Hawkes love for her again! Ugh, I wanted to yell! Don’t get me wrong, I understand why she is scared, but I think like Hawke, I just got to my wits end. But then Bee opens her eyes (with the help of an unlikely friend) and the EVERYTHING becomes clearer. So then I go back to loving Bee again…I know, fickle aren’t I.
This whole series has been amazing and has completely blown my mind. Cynthia Sax is such an amazing author. Her writing is always smooth and quite honestly, it feels like I am watching this story unfold in front of me. Book 12 (as it was designed to be) is the crowning glory of the series, but I cannot tell you more than what I have put above, as I will spoilt the masterpiece, that it is meant to be.
I can honestly don’t think I will ever read another series this long again, but, this author has inspired me to read short series books again and for that I am grateful.
So on this, my last goodbye to the Sinful Rewards series, I give Sinful Rewards 12 a very well deserved 10 out of 10!

WOW, Cynthia has really done it again. This has been some journey from book 1 all the way to book 12. I have loved each and every story about Belinda, Hawke and Nicolas. At the beginning you had to wonder who Belinda would end up with and who was giving the rewards. Belinda had her priorities in the wrong place, but I think with this last book she starting seeing what truly mattered. This book has been bitter sweet. I love this series and hate to see it end, but enjoyed this last book so much. I have to say though I can only hope there was will be a series on Nicolas. We all know he needs his own story.

Belinda is still fighting some serious insecurity issues. She never fills worthy enough. No matter how much Hawke tells her he loves her, she just does not take it serious. In one part of this book I feel like she really hurt him when he realized words were not enough. Belinda is truly fighting a battle with in herself.

Hawke is one amazing guy. This whole series I have been torn between Hawke and Nicolas. I love what Hawke did to profess his love. Sorry you have to read the book to find out. Hawke truly out done himself in this last series. He truly shined.

Still got to love Nicolas. He is starting to come around to how a friend is suppose to truly be. Though I am a little sad because I wanted him to have love as well. I love how Nicolas put Francois in his place when he showed up at Belinda’s place. Sorry have to read to find out what went down. Promise you will love how he handled it. *smirk* I did not like Francois one bit.

I promise if you have not read any of this series you will love it. You can not help but fall in love with the Belinda, Hawke, Nicolas, Cyndi and the guys at the Road Gator.

I have to admit that I was not looking forward to this book. I just wasn't ready for Bea and Hawke's story to be over. I'm not ready to let go of the characters that I have come to love. Even after reading this final book, I'm not ready to let them go, which is why I plan on re-reading the series now that I have all the books and I can read it uninterrupted.

Bea still drove me nuts even though she has grown so much throughout the series. She still referred to Nicholas as a billionaire, telling me she is still hung up on his money. At least she's figured out Hawke is the man for her, that he's the one that meets all of her needs. She has everything, but then she lets her insecurities get the best of her and she almost loses it all.

Hawke needs to prove to Bea, one last time, how much she means to him, a grand gesture. He's been so patient with her, so understanding. he knows she needs to overcome her past demons in order to move on. He does some amazing things to help her move on.

Nicholas is my favorite supporting character, I'd love to know more about him...maybe a spin-off (Hint, Hint). He's a little different, but there is a very caring man underneath it all.

You definitely need to read all the other 11 installments before staring this one. It is written from Bea's point of view. There's lots of hot sex (sigh) and no violence. There in no cliffhanger ending.

It is bittersweet that Bee's journey has come to an end. I loved the progression of not just her relationship with Hawke and Nicholas but the progression of her as a character. This final installment of the Sinful Rewards saga has everything I've come to expect in this series.

There is the heat and passion between Bee and Hawke which has only grown throughout the series. As their relationship grows so does the chemistry between the sheets, against the wall, at the desk....One of my favorite parts about this book was Bee facing one of her biggest fears, small spaces and the dark to fight for her man. Hawke's grand gestures had a smile as big as Bee's on my face. I loved the scenes at the tattoo shop and diner. And good for Bee for finally being able to stand up to her tormenter. Hawke gave her what she always wanted, security, love and a home. He proved it in not just his words but by his actions. This series finale was perfectly them. I really hope I get to see more of them somewhere down the line.

This is a story about the strength of the human spirit. What would you do to ensure you didn't make the same mistakes and travel down a pathway of pain and despair? Determined not to follow in the footsteps of her mom Bee has tried to make better decisions for herself. She never expected one heated moment could spiral her down the same course. I loved Hawke and Bee. The Sinful Rewards series is not the average love story and Bee and Hawke are not your average lovebirds. However, they are two everyday people trying to do the right thing and find happiness along the way. Really enjoyed the books from this series I have read and am looking forward to reading the ones I have not. Received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review. A WORTHWHILE READ.

#Team Nicholas

I am sad to say goodbye to such a wonderful storyline. The final installment of the Sinful Rewards series is here and was phenomenal.
Let me explain why I was always team Nicholas. Of course I fell in love with Hawke the same moment we all did, but I hold out for the billionaire that needed to be taught how to love. In SR 12 I think Mr. Rainer was finally schooled by our beloved Bee. She taught him how to love and be loved. She taught him that is more to life than his business and for that reason alone I was #TeamNicholas.
This series shared with us many different types and ways of being loved. Cynthia Sax never disappoints and as a reader thank her for her amazing series!

A great way to wrap up this most interesting series!

I loved watching how Bee has grown up over the course of this series. She still has a few insecurities, but for the most part she has become a strong young woman who has gained a wonderful, if albeit unconvential family unit. She's still somewhat clueless when it comes to her relationship with Hawke, even though he has proven himself time and time again. But when you've grown up under the circumstances that Bee endured, it's easy to see why she's unsure about him and his feelings.

I loved how this book wrapped up, and I'm hoping that we'll get a story or series about Nicholas!

I finished reading Cynthia Sax's Sinful Rewards serial with mixed feelings. I've enjoyed reading each installment of this serial and was sad to see it come to an end. While I loved Hawke throughout all the installments, I was sometimes a bit frustrated with Bea. Over the course of their story, the development in their relationship and Bea's growth kept me on pins for what was going to happen next.

With the final installment, Sinful Rewards 12, Sax delivers a very satisfying end to an engaging and addictive serial. With great writing, character development and steamy sex scenes, Hawke and Bea's story is not to be missed. I can't wait to see what Cynthia Sax writes next.

Finally, the time has come!

Will Bee get her forever man, will she belong at last? In the last instalment in Cynthia Sax breakthrough series, the unthinkable happens. Is Bee doomed to repeat her mother’s mistakes? I will not tell you one single thing about the plot, you just need to read it! Thank you, Ms. Sax, for a wonderful journey, fabulous characters, and much food for thought! Simply wonderful! Get your hankies ready!

Very much so, I am sadden that the Sinful Rewards series has ended. I've been reading this serious for 10 months and I was truly happy that Bee had gotten the happy ending she deserve. Most of all, I will miss Hawke. He is the character that has grown on me the most and I hopeful someday she can bring his character back. Maybe a story of Nicolas.
