[Monique · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brace yourselves, this is a long review, but this is a fantastic anthology! All the books are reviewed in order in which they appear in the box set, so if you're looking for one in particular, scroll down.

Envy: BLAZE FOR ME by Natalie Anderson

Nicoletta Valeri is a famous skier, and she had involuntarily caused problems for Dr. Austin Tate when she refused that he attends to her medical needs during a competition, claiming she wanted her own doctor. They have always fancied each other, but Nicoletta is all business until Austin catches her indulging in a voyeuristic moment…

BLAZE FOR ME is a lot of fun, it’s very sexy, the characters are great, and I was really impressed with the author’s understanding of competitive skiing! It’s a very well written novella, very nicely paced, and there is Natalie Anderson was a new author to me, but I will be anticipating her future books!

Gluttony: GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT by Amy Andrews

Darcy Henderson, 24, works in a childcare centre but lives in a senior citizens’ apartment complex. So does Mitch Callaghan, a barman. One would assume it would be a quiet place to live, but that was without counting a few little old ladies. Darcy is rather subdued, or at least as far as Mitch had seen until the evening when she goes, completely by accident, to the bar where he works. Which just happens to be a voyeurs’ club! And to her utter surprise, Darcy is very much titillated. Mitch and Darcy both have rich sex lives, and Darcy has kissed him twice before while she was a tad tipsy. She is again tipsy, and this time she asks Mitch to spank her!

GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT is a joyful, fun, and fast-paced story. There are quite a few surprises, it’s extremely well written, witty, the dialogue is terrific, and the characters are superb! Even secondary characters, such as Darcy’s grandmother, are wonderful, especially the fabulous Mrs. T. Of course, it’s super sexy as well! A great read!


Lust: BURNED BY LUST by Michele de Winton

Hade Corban will soon be the head of his motorcycle club, and he needs to rethink how he’ll handle it; they need money. He’s having a drink at the local gang’s bar, and a club mate is getting it on with two women upstairs. He goes up to see what the racket is all about when he notices that his buddy is out cold, one woman just about, and the other one is in the bed, alone and almost dressed. And she’s Lee Delevinge, and she means business, as long as no one knows where she’s hiding…

Michele de Winton does a mean MC book! And lust, sizzling hot!!! I love Lee; she loves sex and is unapologetic about it; no wilting violet here. She’s a great character, with many facets. Hade sounds like a real MC guy, but he wants to clean up their ways of doing things. The club is the only life he has ever known, but he’s a good guy. But oh when these two, Lee and Hade, get together sparks fly higher than you can imagine. I love how Ms. De Winton really captures the MC atmosphere; I felt like I was experiencing vicariously the biker life. There is a lot of hot, sweaty sex, but also a lot of tender romance, biker-style. BURNED BY LUST is fast-paces with great dialogues, and an absolutely fabulous heroine! Excellent!


Wrath: SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY by Robin Covington

Hell hath no fury like a baseball General Manager done wrong! Kat Carter took over from her father as GM for the Virginia Venom baseball team; baseball is in her blood, but so is Derek Foxx, a former lover who now plays for a rival team. Kat hopes to get Derek to jump on board, even though she was the one who broke off with him several years ago. The sparks are still there, but Kat is all-business, even though no one was ever as good as Derek. Derek is approaching retirement, and he’s looking at what he’ll be doing down the road, if only Kat would agree to go down that road with him. Kat is a stubborn woman! But Derek really wants them to get together, and will do just about anything to win her back.

Ms. Covington has written a baseball book as good as her recent football one! She knows her baseball; the atmosphere felt absolutely authentic, Kat and Derek came as totally genuine, and they had fabulous chemistry, even with the push-and-pull, mostly the pushing by Kat. There is one word that repeatedly came to mind: sultry! In spite of Kat and Derek’s tug of war, there was no feeling of antagonism to the whole thing; it is a lovely story, very well told, about communicating. Derek had to show Kat that she could be a sports professional and still remain a sexy woman, and he is a brilliant character; he’s a man’s man, but assumes his tender side. SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY is a very beautiful love story really, very sexy, but what prevails in the end is what is important in one’s life and what one ought to do to get it; establishing priorities. Another fine, fine book by Robin Covington!


Sloth: PRINCESS SIN by Avery Flynn

Princess Cyn, Cynthia Aston, catches her loser boyfriend – whom she doesn’t really like that much – in bed with three women, and she leaves for her friend Hunter McKenney’s yacht; he won’t be there, so he won’t mind. Unbeknownst to Cyn, Hunter is occupying the room next door, and upon hearing all the sex noises, decides to go to the marina, to his yacht. They are both in town to attend the wedding of Cyn’s brother, Hunter’s best friend. Hunter is a workaholic, while Cyn looks to be about the laziest person on earth; she parties, and that’s about it. Cyn has always been in love with Hunter, but being his best friend’s little sister, he has always considered her off-limits, until they found themselves alone on the yacht and Cyn provokes him.

The hot sex, crazy hot sex, and I thought it would go from sexier to sexiest until BAM! Avery Flynn springs one heck of a surprise on us! PRINCESS SIN is super fast-paced, sizzling hot, and Ms. Flynn shines again with great character development, and snarky dialogue. And who knew Avery Flynn knew so much about yachts! Awesome!


Pride: ACCIDENTALLY SINFUL by Carmen Falcone

Tiffany Burrows is stressed out, has trouble sleeping, and her doctor told her she needs to relax, so she left New York City for a little R&R in Lake Louise. She’ll be all alone in a little ski chalet. But there’s a snow storm coming soon. Tiffany is making herself at home when she hears noises… What’s the worse that could happen? Santiago Cruz. The man she’s loved in secret for many years, but who was engaged to her friend Patricia. Patricia is dead, Tiffany blames herself for her friend’s death and so does Santiago.

At first, I was expecting ACCIDENTALLY SINFUL to be light, sexy fluff. Was I wrong! What an excellent story! I was intrigued from the first paragraph, and read it all in one sitting! Tiffany and Santiago have secrets, and it’s poisoning their lives. No, I will not say any more of the plot, but there were twists and turns I never expected. The story is fast-paced but very intricately constructed; the characters are fabulous and very complex. I loved Tiffany, she’s a very normal person, it was easy to relate to her and understand why her conscience troubled her. And what she thinks and what she says is just brilliant!

I loved how Santiago and Tiffany came together – pun intended! The romance is scorching hot, and it was great how the sex lead them to finally communicating.

ACCIDENTALLY SINFUL is sinfully sexy, sinfully intelligent, sinfully angsty, sinfully awesome! I love Carmen Falcone and it’s no accident! This could be her best book. So far…



Greed: HOW TO SEDUCE A CEO by Talia Hunter

Angel Moore has her sights set on becoming the new Sydney office GM for the company she works for, unfortunately she will have to compete with her Neanderthal of a boss for the position. Marcus Bolton, the gorgeous, young CEO will make the first selection of candidates, and Angel knows how to win this: she will seduce Marcus! She needs this, otherwise she’ll have to quit and start all over elsewhere. Angel is one assertive Ozzie! She is a force of nature and Marcus cannot help but capitulate – Angel’s charms are more than ample – however things are more complicated: he is not the one to make the final choice. But sometimes love has a habit of getting in the way…

HOW TO SEDUCE A CEO has it all: a super determined heroine, a beta hero (my favourite kind!), great characters, and super hot sex. I love how Ms. Hunter introduces a lot of background for Angel and Marcus, it makes them more real and we understand them better, and the banter they share feels totally authentic. HOW TO SEDUCE A CEO is brilliantly written, fast-paced, a very quick read; a lot of fun!

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Happy Book Birthday!!!

This collection gets 5***** from A avid Avery Flynn Reader. Excellent plots, characters, a all had substance enough to make you want more. Well done Ladies...

Story 1: Blaze for Me by Natalie Anderson. This was a nice, quick, sometimes funny read, although the word "Forthnight" was used 3 times like it was some kind of Historical. No one ever uses those terms anymore. It just felt out of place. I give this story 4 *'s.

Story 2: Glutton for Punishment by Amy Andrews. Great quick read with some funny light heated banter and endearing characters. 5*'s

[Dina Bushrod · Rating 5 out of 5]

Author Carmen Falcone has written "Accidentally Sinful", one of the novellas in this anthology of "Seven Sins" with a big book attitude. The storyline doesn't start at the beginning of the relationship between the two main characters, but years later. But you don't miss a thing as Ms. Falcone has both characters make us aware of what occurred back then, up to their current unplanned and definitely surprising situation, in a way that makes the reader feel that they haven't missed a thing. The story flows brilliantly with pain, secrets, wants and desires. Through long held desires that they can no longer keep hidden, even though they fight it then as they did in the past, they sinfully give in to long felt passions. From their passion comes confusion and guilt finally leading to the release of long held truths. I don't do spoilers but try instead to relay the feelings I get from the story and in this instance I'm afraid I've failed as I believe I've said too much. The only thing I'm unhappy with is that the writer was required to keep it short, but even then she has managed to give us a thoroughly entertaining and sensual story.

Another story in this anthology is by author Talia Hunter, "How To Seduce A Millionaire". The female character is not only smart but has worked hard to get where she's at. She must now prove herself worthy of a top management promotion by interviewing for the job with the CEO. Unfortunately for her, he already knows whose getting the job and its not her. She plans to use all her smarts and "sinful assets" to convince him otherwise and even though they're attracted to each other, and the sex is hot and sizzling, things don't always go as planned. This turns out to be true for both of them. Read how their actions lead to unexpected consequences. This was my first Talia Hunter story. I loved her strong female character, the humor mixed in with the great sex and the down to earth story telling.

Seven Sins is an anthology featuring sizzling stories from seven amazing authors. This sexy anthology has it all. I loved that I could read so many different tropes in one anthology. And the writing is hot hot hot. One of my favorite stories was Wrath: Sleeping With the Enemy by Robin Covington. Kat and Derek have history. A scorching hot history that he is hoping to ignite again. Kat is conflicted - she loves her career more than anything and she doesn't want to let any type of relationship interfere with that. But when they come together - it's like fire and gasoline. I really loved this baseball romance. Another story I enjoyed in the anthology was Sloth: Princess Sin by Avery Flynn. I enjoy royal stories, and Flynn has penned a great one here.

There wasn't a single story in this anthology that I didn't like. If you like sizzling romance in all different tropes, then you need to pick this box set up now! It is hot, hotter and hottest. I had to fan myself with my Kindle. Get this for those cold nights - you won't be disappointed.

I received an advanced copy of the eBook for review purposes. This did not influence my opinion in any way.

[Shannon Ferguson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This box set is a must read!! It has a bit of something for everyone (hot CEO, BDSM bartender, MC dude, brothers best friend to lover). Below are reviews for each book.


Envy-Blaze For Me-Natalie Anderson

This is my first read by author Natalie Anderson, and it definitely won't be the last.

It drew me in from the very first page (ok, more like from the first few lines) and I couldn't put it down. The sparks were flying between Austin and NV (Nikki) and I loved how they seemed to be at each other's throat at the beginning, adding to the sexual tension. Both were awesome characters, but didn't seem to think too highly of each other because of the grapevine.

A fantastic read and awesome start to the Seven Sins boxed set. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fantastic read

Gluttony-Glutton for Punishment-Amy Andrews

Yet another new to me author that I didn't disappoint.

Glutton for Punishment is freaking HOT!! From the club scene, to the time Mitch and Darcy got together. The chemistry between these two was crazy, and I'm surprised my kindle didn't start steaming up at some of the club scenes. I was cracking up at some of Darcy's reactions after she tried a few new things, and loved how accepting Mitch was in letting her experiment in sexual kink, knowing what her reaction would really be. A great, sexy short read I would highly recommend

Lust-Burned by Lust-Michele de Winton

While I'm not a huge fan of MC reads, this one was really good. Lee was a great heroine, who always seems to be down for a good time, and seems to have a good heart. Hade is an awesome hero, with a huge heart who's trying to change some aspects of the MC for the better. With hot sex scenes, and a woman who enjoys burlesque dancing, this book had a bit of everything. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good MC read.

Wrath-Sleeping With The Enemy-Robin Covington

Omg. This book had me in tears, laughing, and just gave me so many different emotions. Derek just might be my newest BBF. He's sweet, but knows what he wants, and doesn't rush in to it without thinking of consequences. Kat was an awesome heroine. I loved how Robin put Kat in a career that usually men always have. I love the whole friends to lovers/ex lovers reunite feel. I would definitely recommend everyone read this one also :)

Sloth-Princess Sin-Avery Flynn

Avery Flynn has never disappointed me with her books, and this one is no different.

Cyn is a sweet heroine, who seems to underestimate herself so she doesn't disappoint the people she loves. She has so much heart, and her outward attitude is overall pretty positive, and acts like she doesn't care what others think. Hunter is a hot alpha type guy, who tries to do the right thing by not breaking the bro code of no sleeping with the best friends sister. He's got this broody attitude that you can't help but swoon about, and when he's made a mistake, he asks forgiveness in a big way :).

A fantastic read that I would recommend to anyone looking for a quick contemporary romance.

Pride-Accidentally Sinful-Carmen Falcone

Another great read in this boxed set. Both Santiago and Tiffany have secrets from their past, and being step siblings makes their situation even stickier. Santiago is a bit of a stubborn @$$, but omg. His dirty talk definitely made up for it. Tiffany had an awesome personality, and didn't take any of Santiago's crap. I would definitely recommend this read to anyone looking for a good stepbrother read.

Greed-How to Seduce A CEO-Talia Hunter

So this one was hard for me. Talia did an awesome job writing this, but I seriously couldn't stand Angel. I kept waiting for something to happen to her, some kind of repercussion for the way she acts, and it didn't happen. I guess since this story is about greed, it hits the mark. Marcus was an awesome hero, and the sacrifices he made for her showed how much he truly loved her. While I wasn't fond of the heroine, I would still recommend this to anyone who is looking for a book where the girl knows what she wants, and will do anything to get it.

Sleeping with the enemy by Robin Covington

Kat and Derek are longtime friends. They have known each other since childhood and their families are friends. Kat is a young female general manager in baseball that had to prove herself to get where she is. Derek is a superstar shortstop for a rival team. They dated years ago but Kat never wanted to others to say she got where she was because of of who she dated. Now they run into each other and the Sparks are still there can they make it work. This was another home run by Robin Covington.

Princess Sin by Avery Flynn

Cyn and Hunter are friends from childhood because Hunters best friend is Cyn's brother. When Cyn needs to get away she tries to stowaway and be like everyone believes she is a Sloth. But will they let a storm change how they think.
Avery Flynn has another hit.


Blaze for me by Natalie Anderson
Nicoletta envys a relationship and wants Austin. Can they end up together. This was the first time I read Natalie Anderson and I have found a new author.

Glutton for punishment Amy Andrews
Will Mitch and Darcy be able to find what works for the two for them. Amy Andrews was another new author.

Burned by Lust Michele de Winton
Lee and Hade started in lust can they make it work. Michele de Winton is another first time author.

Accidentally Sinful by Carmen Falcone

Tiffany and Santiago are step siblings and have both been fighting an attraction to each other along with keeping other secrets from each other. When they get stranded in a snow storm together will the truth come out and will they be able to keep their pride intact.
Carmen Falcone has another hit on her hands.

How to seduce a CEO by Talia Hunter

Angel is trying to seduce Marcus for a higher position at the company. Will it work, will they fall for each other.

This was another first time author for me.

[Anima · Rating 5 out of 5]

A novella for every sin from a group of the sexiest authors. As part of Avery Flynn's Facebook team I was lucky enough to score a reciew copy.

Blaze for me: Super sexy sports doctor and pro skier have eyes for each other. The heat of their connection comes more from emotions and loneliness than the voyeurism, which is red hot. Part of a series this is a standalone novella.

Glutton for Punishment: Two twenty-somethings living in a retirement building have found a secret about each other. She might enjoy voyeurism but maybe not BDSM. He works somewhere exciting and is very handy. Quick and sexy novella just perfect for an evening read.

Burned by Lust: If you are a fan of Jax Teller from SOA then you will love this. He wants to lead the Hell's but the rule is no woman for the leader, too distracting. Until Lee happens into the bar and shakes up his world. The steamiest book so far.

Sleeping with the Enemy: Love baseball books! Childhood friends, lovers, baseball enemies this is a fun second chance love story. Very sexy and passionate.

Princess Sin: Avery gets it right every time. Lazy little rich girl and her brother's best friend stuck in a storm. Reality scared the truth out them, but first the truly crazy erotic sex.

Accidentally Sinful: I am still recovering from this one, Santiago and Tiffany burned the house down! Step siblings with secret feelings for each other are still recovering from an accident that killed their friend. Unspoken feelings have caused a huge miscommunication.

Seducing the CEO: This one was probably my least favorite of the group. The woman comes off very aggressive, seducing the guy for the job. They eventually open up to each other and it's more than just sex. It just didn't have the zing I felt from the other stories.

"Seven Sins: Seven Sizzling Stories! Bikers, Stepbrothers, Bosses, Baseball, BDSM and more!" Has authors: Natalie Anderson with Envy-"Blaze for Me," Amy Anderson with Gluttony-"Glutton for Punishment," Michele de Winton with Lust-"Burned for Lust," Robin Covington with Wrath-"Sleeping with the Enemy," Avery Flynn with Sloth-"Princess Sin," Carmen Falcone with Pride-"Accidentally Sinful," and Talia Hunter with Greed-"How to Seduce a CEO."

Each story is a short novella of HOT, steamy encounters that are absolutely enjoyable. Definitely for the 18+ year old reader but really, really good. Perfect length for those who enjoy a shorter love story or for those who just like reading a little bit of erotica. I was given this book to read for an honest review by Carmen Falcone and I have to say that I absolutely loved it.

Seven Sins by seven OUTSTANDING authors!
First, I HATE you Avery Flynn for gifting me with the ARC of this book!!!
Second, I LOVE you Avery Flynn for gifting me with the ARC of this book Seven Sins!!!!
When Avery offered me an ARC of this book I thought why not. Three already some of my favorite authors have written part of the book, and would make it worth the read. I am not going to give synopsis about each story, you can and have already read the blurb otherwise you would not be reading the reviews.
So, I started Seven Sins with Envy…
I just finished the first story “Blaze for Me” by Natalie Anderson. I had not previously knowingly read anything by Ms. Anderson, that was a definite mistake on my part. I have just added another author to follow. Her writing in this story is very well done. Ms. Anderson does something that really makes me love a book. She takes my emotions on well done twisting, turning ride. She will make you laugh and cry in this story. I absolutely loved Nicoletta’s and Austin’s story and their ride to love.
Now, on to Gluttony…..
Glutton for Punishment by Amy Andrews…… One word: WOW!!!! Amy Andrews you are still a phenomenal writer. I love the way you pull your readers into a story. I loved Mitch and Darcy’s story. My only problem, I wanted more at the end, it ended too soon for me, I wanted to read the “Happily Ever After”.
After all of the Gluttony, let us move on to Lust…..
Burned by Lust by Michele de Winton. The writing in this story is great, but the story, not me and I am sorry after the first couple of chapters, I could not read further. But, this does not mean it is not for you.
On to Wrath…..
Sleeping with the Enemy by Robin Covington. Just one question Robin….. Do you even know how to disappoint your readers? I do not think this is possible. I just finished reading “Sleeping with the Enemy”, and all I can say is Ms. Covington definitely did not disappoint this time either. Her story telling abilities are just phenomenal. She writes in a way that makes you see and feel everything she is writing about. This is what makes Ms. Covington such a great writer.
After Wrath, we need Sloth…
Princess Sin by Avery Flynn… Why is it that the really great books end way to soon? I do not care if they are 50 pages or 500 pages, they just end too soon. This is the way it was for me with “Princess Sin” by Avery Flynn. Ms. Flynn has definitely kept up her great reputation of GREAT writing with this book! Congratulations on another great book!
Sometimes, you just need a little Pride….
Accidentally Sinful by Carmen Falcone…. Yes, pride almost cost these two absolutely everything. Ms. Falcone told the story in a way that just made me want to keep reading and never stop. I really love the story of Tiffany and Santiago although they were stepbrother and stepsister you could see they were actually meant for each other. Kudos to Ms. Falcone she has definitely upheld the quality of all the other authors in this book. I have definitely found another offer to love and read!

Now, to finish with Greed....
How to seduce a CEO by Talia Hunter OK, wow, no make that double WOW! What a stupendous conclusion to an OUTSTANDING book. I have found additional authors to follow thru this book, and Talia Hunter is definitely one of them! I love this story of two read driven people that find love.
Once more, I really need to thank Avery Flynn for the ARC of this book. It is most spectacularly well worth the read!!!
Thank you for reading my review. Happy reading! 

Naughty, exciting and legendary. Those are the words that I would use to describe the Seven Sins anthology. This box set has something for everyone. An arousing doctor, a sensual CEO, a sexy bartender, desirable biker, wicked stepbrother, tempting billionaire and a very hot baseball player. Even though each of the seven stories is a quick read, they each leave an impression. This is one of the best anthologies I’ve read and will recommend it to anyone who likes their romance on the wild side.

Blaze for Me is the first book I’ve read from Natalie Andersen and it won’t be the last. In fact, I’ve just added her Beg for Me series to my tbr list! To say I was impressed with her writing is an understatement. I loved her characters!!! Austin and Nicoletta were two characters that showed a great deal of passion and that passion came through the pages. A 5 star read!

Glutton for Punishment by Amy Andrews made me laugh more than once. The banter between Darcy and Mitch was amusing and playful. I immediately fell in love with the two spirited characters. 4.5 stars!

Burned by Lust from Michele de Winton definitely earned its title! Both characters were sizzling hot. I especially enjoyed Lee’s character. She is such a spitfire. Doesn’t take nothing from nobody and knows how to handle her business. She knows what she wants and takes it. I only wish we had more of a backstory with her character. 4 stars!

Sleeping with the Enemy is everything I love about romance. Robin Covington definitely knows how to write amazing characters who are genuine and can make you feel something. Derek and Kat had chemistry in spades and I adored their story. 5 stars!

Princess Sin by Avery Flynn had me rooting for Cyn and Hunter right from the beginning. This story is packed with emotion, but don’t worry there are plenty of sexy times. I only wish there was little more to Cyn, apart from her rich, party girl persona. Princess Sin is fast paced and completely enjoyable. 4 stars!

Falcone kept my eyes eager and my cheeks flushed with excitement as I devoured Accidentally Sinful. I’ll be honest, I was leery going into the story. I’ve read more than a few of the stepbrother romances and I’ve never really enjoyed them. Carmen Falcone has done the unthinkable…she made me LOVE this stepbrother romance! This was hands down my favorite out of the set. Accidentally Sinful has it all…angst, hunger, secrets and plenty of sin to keep you yearning for more. Carmen Falcone shines with this brilliant 5-star read!

I love my heroines strong and accomplished and Talia Hunter provided me with exactly that in How to Seduce a CEO. Angel knows exactly what she wants and only Marcus can give it to her. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Angel and Marcus and I am so happy how the end turned out. Sexy yet sweet with 4.5 stars!

Stop reading this review and buy this anthology now!!!!

There have been a myriad of anthologies released over the last few months and there are likely to be a lot more before the holidays. So – why should you spend your money, and more importantly your very valuable time on this one? I can give you seven of them – seven of the best stories I’ve read in awhile.
If I were asked to put together a primer on what’s happening today in contemporary romance, several of these authors would be very high on my list of contributors. Only Natalie Anderson and Amy Andrews were actually new to me and I’m now following both on Amazon so I don’t miss their next releases. Over the years, I’ve learned that every one of the others can be depended on to produce consistently high quality romances that offer plenty of romance and steamy sex and never seem to take themselves too seriously.
Seen Sins showcases all of these authors at their very best. Each author took one of the original seven deadly sins and crafted a story around that theme. From bikers to business tycoons, the stories feature a broad range of marshmallow heroes – hard and crusty on the outside, sweet, soft and absolutely delicious when you get under the covers. Each one is paired with a spunky, self-confident alpha female who will give them a run for their money, both in bed and in life.
Drop them into settings that include everything from sex shows to seniors homes and you have the recipe for a collection that will keep you riveted (and sometimes a little hot) right through to the last page, so feel free to pick and choose among all those other fancy box sets with their fancy covers and worthy causes, but whatever you do, don’t miss this one.

Accidentally Sinful – Carmen Falcone

Stranded due to a snowstorm, Santiago Cruz must let go of his pride and acknowledge forbidden feelings for the woman he loves but can’t forgive—his stepsister, Tiffany.

*****

When Santiago and TIffany find themselves stuck with each other in their family vacation home, things get heated up so fast that I don't think I even remembered there was a snowstorm happening outside the walls of the house.

This has backstory, issues, baggage, emotional blackmail, lots of hot scenes circled around two very strong, prideful characters. Once again Ms. Falcone introduces to her readers two completely broken characters unaware that what they need to fix is each other. Beautiful story on an emotional level. Hot and sexy and sizzling on a...you-know-what level. Reading Ms. Falcone's stories have changed what I thought I wanted in romance. It's not about the happy ending, it's the getting there.... with lots of scorching passionate sex along the way!

Definitely highly recommended. Grab it when it comes out!

[Rachel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Are you ready to sin? If you are then dive into this anthology that gives the reader seven chances to sin and sin so good it hurts.

This anthology from seven of the hottest contemporary authors around, has something for everyone and no one will be left unsatisfied. The novellas aka quick short reads each have a theme of one of the seven deadly sins, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Wrath, Sloth, Pride and Greed. Sound decadent enough for you?

All the authors have done an amazing job of incorporating their theme into the story while keeping it an easy and hot read. Be warned, new panties may be need when finished. Hot, hot, hot!
Set aside an afternoon to sin, you might just find a new author or two. Or maybe some inspiration do so some sinning of your own.

This was a fun and hot read that once you start you will not want to put down. Let the sinning begin!!

I received a copy of this book for an honest review from one of the amazingly talented authors.

[Lori Hammons · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received an ARC of this anthology in exchange for a review. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the stories, each based on one of the seven sins. The sin of each story was not as pervasive as I imagined prior to reading the story. The emotions felt real and I found myself rooting for the characters as I read. Each story touched me. The consistency of the writing style by seven different authors is transparent in the transition from story to story.

[Rhonda Ziglar · Rating 5 out of 5]

Seven Sins by seven amazing hot authors. I absolutely loved these stories. Oh my, all I can say is wow. There was something for everyone's hot romance reading style. You could not read these seven novellas quick enough, wondering what was in the next one.

I would highly recommend this box set for anyone looking for sizzling stories from hot romance authors.

I was given an ARC, for my honest review.

The SEVEN SINS anthology features short stories based on the seven deadly sins.

Blaze for Me by Natalie Anderson (Envy)

Pro ski phenom Nicoletta "NV" Valeri never meant to see the couple through the window, and now she can't help but compare their all consuming passion with her…dismal sex life. When Austin freaking Tate catches her peeping, Nicoletta is mortified! She's wanted the good doctor since she met him, and now that she's got his attention? She just wants to hide. Nicoletta almost ruined Austin's career a few years ago, but that doesn't stop him from wanting the woman with an all consuming need that almost cripples him.

Blaze for Me is SCORCHING, their passion burning hot and bright enough to melt the ski slopes! For a short story, Ms. Anderson did a kick ass job making me care about the characters and their stories. I wanted to meet Nicoletta and be friends with her! I wanted to fall down and get bandaged up by Dr. McHottie. The sex was passionate and aggressive and soooo delish! I'm going to have to check out her Be For Me Series, as this one is fantastic! I would rate this story a 4.


Glutton for Punishment by Amy Andrews (Gluttony)

Mitch Callaghan is absolutely fine living in a Melrose Place-esque seniors community, especially if he gets to see the delicious Darcy Henderson in her one piece by the pool. The blonde granddaughter drives him to distraction, especially when she's drunk and wants to make out with him. When Darcy stumbles upon Mitch at a BDSM club, she uses the opportunity to beg him to spank her. Mitch isn't into the scene, but he'll gladly accommodate her pretty little ass anytime!

Oooh, I LIKE this one! I don't typically care for books that are pretty much solely about a spanking fetish, but Glutton for Punishment is a great short story! I loved Mitch; his humor kept things lighthearted even while Darcy begged for something a bit darker from him. This story is excellent fun! I would rate this one a 4.


Burned by Lust by Michele de Winton (Lust)

Hade Corban is the reluctant soon-to-be leader of the Raising Hellfire biker gang, but he's anything but reluctant when he meets Lee Delevigne. The black magic woman wraps him in a spell of lace and lust just moments upon meeting her. Lee thinks Hade is just about the sexiest thing she's ever seen…and if she can use him to forget what her nasty stepfather did to her, it's a win-win. Neither expect the feels, but Cupid hits when you least expect it!

I like his one too! Lee is excellent, a whole different kind of girl power than you typically see in erotic romance. She listed sex as her biggest vice, with drinking a close second. She wasn't ashamed of her very active bed, instead she embraced it and gave it her all. FANTASTIC! And the sex? Whew! Yes, please!! I'd rate this one a 5!


Sleeping with the Enemy by Robin Covington (Wrath)

As the first woman and youngest GM in MLB history, Kat Carter is at the top of her game. So is her longtime frenemy and one-time lover Derek Foxx, shortstop for a rival baseball team. She wants him…as her shortstop when his contract is up. Derek wants Kat for an entirely different reason, and he's tired of holding back. Derek isn't going to hold back any longer, and Kat can't help but go along with Derek's wild plans! But she doesn't want to fall for him again, especially since she wants him to sign with her team. What will they be willing to give up for love?

I love the heat that is immediately generated between Kat and Derek. Their shared past and current competitiveness make their chemistry explosive! I love that Derek took the initiative and went after what he wanted. Kat is a badass! Playing with the big boys in the MLB had hardened her and made her feel like she had something to prove. I was disappointed by the number of editing errors in this short story, things that should've been easily spotted and corrected. Nevertheless, the story was sweet and steamy and I'd rate it a 3.


Princess Sin by Avery Flynn (Sloth)

When Cynthia Aston finds her boyfriend in bed with not one, not two, but THREE women, she should be pissed! But instead, all she feels is ambivalence, a problem that's plagued her through more relationships than she cares to admit. "Princess Sin" as Cyn is known, is lazy and slothful, at least that's the image she presents to the world, and her brother's BFF Hunter McKenney. But Hunter knows better. He knows she's much more than she presents to the world. And when she plays the stowaway on his yacht? She proves him right.

Cyn and Hunter make a great couple! They're wild and horny and filled with lust for each other that Hunter has refused to act on, but once that ship has sailed, he immediately regrets their actions. This story was exceptionally short, but it was still super hot. I'd give this one a 5.


Accidentally Sinful by Carmen Falcone (Pride)

Tiffany Burrows is SO ready to unplug for a few days. Her life in NYC keeps her constantly busy, so decompressing in a Canadian cabin (with no wifi) sounds perfect. Especially when she's sure to have things on her mind other than her sinfully sexy stepbrother Santiago Cruz. Too bad said stepbrother is at said cabin when she arrives. Snowed in together, the stubborn, proud man drives her to distraction, she has no idea he's just as distracted by her. When Santiago gets mad enough to throw Tiffany over his knee for a spanking, their relationship will never be the same!

Poor Tiffany! She's the recipient of a sour Santiago who takes every opportunity to be nasty to her. But he's kinda like the kid who pulls little girl's pigtails when he likes her, and if he gets too close, then he'll lose control. Despite their volatile relationship, the sparks between them light up the powerless cabin. I'm usually skeeved out by step-sibling story lines, but Accidentally Sinful was wickedly delicious. I would rate this a 4.


How to Seduce a CEO by Talia Hunter (Greed)

Angel Moore is determined to get the General Manager position at her company that she's come up with a foolproof plan: seduce CEO Marcus Bolton when he comes to interview her. At first, Marcus has a hard time keeping his tongue in his mouth when he sees Angel, but he knows that even though she may be the right person for the job, the board would never approve it. So Angel has to pull out the big guns, seducing Marcus right there in his office! Marcus can't believe he acted so rashly, but the more time he spends with Angel, getting to know her and hearing her plans for the business, the more he admires her and JUST MIGHT be willing to go to bat for her with the board.

This is my least favorite story in this anthology for a few reasons, a big one being how obnoxiously demeaning it was to women. Angel usually gets what she wants, but when Marcus won't give it to her after she sleeps with him, she pouts and gets angry and surly. And Marcus? How does a man used to getting what HE wants, who considers himself an Alpha male, knowingly let another person manipulate him with sex and yet want to give her the world? That must be some stupendous sex. Honestly, this whole story just irritated me and made me want to throw my kindle. I'd rate it a 2.

Bottom Line: Overall, SEVEN SINS is an excellent anthology with some well written and enjoyable stories that showcases the talent in the erotic romance world. It also introduced me to a few new-to-me authors that I'll be looking for in the future! - See more at: http://erotic.theromancereviews.com/v...

Originally posted on my blog: Tangled Up In Books

I received a copy of this book, from one of the authors, in exchange for an honest review. In no way did this sway either my review or my rating!

Big thanks to Talia Hunter first of all for the opportunity to read and review this book. As an all around average for the entire book I'd give it a 3 star rating. However each individual story inside I had very different feelings for. So for the rest of this review I'll give as brief of a summary of my feelings for each one and what I would have rated it if it were an individual novella!

Envy
Blaze for Me by Natalie Anderson
★★★ 3 Stars!

So this opening story definitely gave me a crash course for what to expect within this book. The opening scene was this incredibly hot voyeuristic scene that kind of shocked me at first. There was no slowly breaking into it, it just happened on page one. It was fun in a naughty sort of way though.. As for the rest of the story, well, I liked it and enjoyed it but the dialogue very nearly ruined it for me. That and the couple was very immature at times. I probably would have enjoyed it a whole lot more if that dialogue had backed up the fun and steamy storyline.

Gluttony
Glutton for Punishment by Amy Andrews
★★★★ 4 Stars!

This story was everything I've grown to love and expect from Amy Andrews. Lots of steamy, characters you can instantly love and plenty of humorous funny moments. I think my favorite part of the whole thing was Darcy's grandmother and her friends from the retirement community. They had err...some very surprising sides...to not give anything away. They were so dang funny! I think my biggest complaint about this one would be that it was a shame it was a short story because I would have loved to spend more time with Darcy and Mitch!! Over way too soon!

Lust
Burned by Lust by Michele de Winton
★ 1 Star (DNF)

To be perfectly honest...I only read about 5 pages of this one tops before I had to DNF it. You either know or you don't if you're going to like something. And it wasn't because this was about an MC because I've been reading one that I love. I guess what happened was, at least from what I could tell, one of the new guys in the gang had taken a couple of girls upstairs to try and "prove something" to the rest of the guys but was so wasted he passed out so when Hade goes upstairs because of all the banging going on up there one of the naked "ladies" on the bed catches his eye. I lost interest before they said a word to each other. No thanks. Done.

Wrath
Sleeping with the Enemy by Robin Covington
★★★ 3 Stars!

This one was really cute and fun and even made me tear up a bit. I really loved getting to know Kat and Derek especially since I'm such a sucker for a really good second chance at love story. And this was one of them, even as short as it was. I feel like the reason my rating for this one was on the lower side was because of the abundance of the word "tits" used even by Kat at times. I have no idea why this word always bugs me so much but it there were points where it made me want to cringe. Still though I pretty much adored this one and it was probably one of my favorite of the seven.

Sloth
Princess Sin by Avery Flynn
★★✩ 2.5 Stars

Not counting the story I didn't even make it through, I'd have to say this one was my least favorite. I feel like any one of the seven sins, most especially sloth, would be very easy to convey eitehr through characters or storyline without having to spell it out. However, more times than I cared to count the word sloth or slothful was thrown around to describe Cyn. It really bothered me. To me it just felt like a lack of creativity if you have to use the word sloth repeatedly to try to prove to me that this is what your story was about. But not only that the dialogue was lackluster as well. I mean there was other stuff that put me off about it too but just so I'm not completely Negative Nancy about this story I will say that there was one shining, bright moment in the book. At the end Hunter gives the perfect best man speech/grand gesture that would have had me swooning and tears if it were me. I wish the rest of the book could've been like that speech!

Pride
Accidentally Sinful by Carmen Falcone
★★★✩ 3.5 Stars!

What is it about these stepbrother stories that always makes me want to love them? The very beginning of this one was actually hard to follow and understand what was going on. But once things became more clear, the reasons for the rift between them and so on, I actually kinda liked this story. It wasn't perfect I mean it resolved way, way too quickly, almost got whiplash it snapped into place so fast, but nonetheless very enjoyable. Plus Santiago was pretty yummy!

Greed
How to Seduce a CEO by Talia Hunter
★★★ 3 Stars!

So I'm guessing that this was probably a novella in Talia's series The Rich List, which I read the first book in and loved. Angel isn't normally the type of female character I'm drawn to. She's almost overly driven and will do basically anything to get what she's after career wise. I didn't like a lot of the choices she made nor the fact that it really felt as if she was using her sexuality and her budding relationship with Marcus to get him on her side and to get him to fight for her for a huge promotion. But it really was hard to not like her or respect drive and ambition in a very male driven job and environment that she was in. And to feel bad for her for being so much better at what she does than most of the guys combined at her company but because it was so much a good ol' boys club she was overlooked. A lot. I probably would've gone 4 stars on this one but towards the end I lost quite a bit of respect for Angel and how she treated Marcus when things weren't going her way. Overall I liked it but I wavered for a second at the end there.

***

Sorry this was so long but I felt like trying to convey all my thoughts on the book as a whole would have been too hard since my feelings were really all over the place for each story. I had more fun than not reading this book and I feel like the majority of the novellas really made reading this book worth it and are worth getting it for. Lots of steamy, naughty and super fun times to be had!

I'm still reading this and will update this review once completed!!

This awesome anthology is a great read. You will laugh, cry, erupt in anger and call the characters names - engaging emotions whilst you read is always the sign of a good book!! Snarky humour, sexiness galore and well thought out and fast paced stories to keep you turning page after page. I read most of the book in one day as I just could not put it down!!! A great novel look at the seven deadly sins, each not quite what I was expecting. I would gladly go to He double hockey sticks if it meant taking one of these hunks, especially Santiago, with me!!!

The Seven Sins Anthology features seven sinfully delightful stories that are sure to satisfy every readers appetite. Each short, but oh so sweet and tantalizing story is packed with heat and sizzle, and I thoroughly enjoyed every single minute I spent reading each one of them!! These seven authors are masters of their craft and sure know how to write stories that make you want to embrace your sinful side!! Definitely one of the best anthologies that I have ever read!!

Blaze For Me comes from author Natalie Anderson, it is my first time reading reading something from this author, and I have to say it left one heck of a good first impression, so much so, I plan to read other books in the series. Austin and Nikki's story grabbed my attention right from the start and had me dying to read more!! One Spicy Little Read!!

Glutton For Punishment is a hilarious little read that comes from author Amy Andrews. The heated banter and flirty one liners between Darcy and Mitch were priceless, and had me laughing out loud a time or two! Ms. Andrews stories are always sure to entertain!!

Burned From Lust comes from another new to me author named Michele de Winton. I was pleasantly surprised with this one, it was hot and spicy in all the right places and satisfied all my reading needs and then some!! I loved Lee, she is tough as nails and she can definitely handle her own against the tough alpha male biker Hade Corban!!

Sleeping with the Enemy comes from one of my favorite authors, Ms. Robin Covington. Her stories always come with an authentic feel, rich with heartfelt content and brimming with sizzle and intense passion. I was immediately connected to Kat and Derek's story, and have a feeling they will be lingering with me for a long while! Loved this story, and genuinely hope to see more baseball stories from Ms. Covington!!

Princess Sin comes from another favorite author of mine Ms. Avery Flynn. With every story she writes she gives readers exactly what they want; addictive story lines, feisty dialog, toe curling sex scenes and characters that steal your heart! I have yet to read a story by this author that I didn't absolutely love, and this one is nothing short of fantastic!! Cyn and Hunter are sure to have you reaching for a fan!!!

Accidentally Sinful is a hot and oh so spicy read from author Carmen Falcone. I have read stories from this author in the past so I was expecting something hot and spicy, and I have to say this one definitely exceeded my expectations!! Tiffany and Santiago pulled me into their world almost immediately, and had blushing almost the whole way through!! Scorching hot little read, sure to satisfy!!

How to Seduce a CEO comes from another new to me author Ms. Talia Hunter. This one was a perfect introduction to this author for me, it had everything I could ask for in a story and then some. I love it when authors develop strong female characters that can stand toe to toe with the alpha male lead, and I have to say Angel fit this role perfectly! She was tough and knew just how to keep Marcus in line...definitely a very impressive first read for me!!

Sleeping with the Enemy - Robin Covington

All’s fair in love and baseball…but when Kat Carter, the newly-minted GM for the Virginia Venom, is determined to recruit rival superstar shortstop (and former lover) Derek Foxx the last thing she expects is a sexy ultimatum…

Princess Sin – Avery Flynn

Review:

Without this turning into a 4 page long review, because there are 7 deadly sins and stories to cover. I will keep this short and sweet, like each story though come to think of it none of them were sweet-they were all sexy and sinful.

First I have to say I really enjoyed the diversity in the stories, just like the description says, there are bikers, bosses, ball players, you name it. If you cannot find a hero in one of these stories to like, I am not sure you should be reading romance ;0 I have to say there were a couple of stories that ended and I wanted more, so follow-ups to these stories might be in order, pretty please. Each story centers around one of the 7 deadly sins and I thought the way they were integrated into each story was quite clever. I have read some of these Authors before and found some new ones to stalk because of this anthology. I enjoyed every story and would be hard-pressed to pick a favorite.

A definite recommend from me. I don't tend to read anthologies especially when they don't have a common theme, but this one did and it was well worth the read.

5Stars

This is an amazing line up of authors. I knew it was going to be a winner. You truly can't get any better than 7 stories in a box set for 99 cents. I'm a huge fan of 5 of the authors and just gained 2 more authors to go on my TBR list. You can't go wrong with this set.

BLAZE FOR ME - Natalie Anderson
Nicoletta (NV) and Austin could literally melt the slopes with the chemistry they shared. From the first page in this one I was hooked. This was my first time reading Natalie and she has a new fan.

GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT - Amy Andrews
Mitch and Darcy had me laughing over all the experiments she wanted to try and the reactions to such things. She truly is a glutton for punishment. The old community surrounding them was a fun touch. This was a cute read.

BURNED BY LUST - Michele de Winton
Hade and Lee were in instant lust. The two were hot at first encounter. I liked the ideas Lee came up with to help out Hade and work together to make good changes for the biker gang.

SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY - Robin Covington
Kat and Derek are written in classic Robin C. writing, love it. These two sizzled together. I'm a huge second chance fan and this one didn't disappoint.

PRINCESS SIN - Avery Flynn
Cyn and Hunter were hot! Princess Cyn has had a huge crush on Hunter, her brother's best friend, forever. Lucky her, he's shared the same feelings. Out on a yacht, what happens next? Yep, sparks!

ACCIDENTALLY SINFUL - Carmen Falcone
Tiffany and Santiago have an explosive chemistry together. The forbidden attraction between Tiffany and her stepbrother have left the two ignoring their feelings and fighting internally for years. This wasn't just a great addition to this set but also to Carmen's "Accidentally" series.

HOW TO SEDUCE A CEO - Talia Hunter
Angel and Marcus were wow. Talk about a seduction. Talia has a way of getting right to the point with writing her seductions. Angel knows what she wants and definitely is not afraid to go after it. I loved her persistence.

[Rosemary · Rating 4 out of 5]

All seven novellas are fantastic reads. All are hot and steamy; throw in some funny and you have seven sins. None of the seven are cliff-hangers: they stand alone but may be interconnected to other novels by the authors.


Envy-Blaze for Me by Natalie Anderson

Starts off very hot with a little voyeuristic action. Well paced, good for reading in one sitting. I had never read anything by Natalie Anderson before but will be looking for more of her books.


Gluttony: Glutton for Punishment by Amy Andrews
This had some hilarious characters. I was either laughing or fanning myself depending on the scene. A few surprises in the story line and well written.


Lust: Burned by Lust by Michele de Winton
Hot and Steamy MC story. Has all the traditional elements of MC but without the dark edge to keep it light but still steamy. Loved how the heroine jumped in and did what needed to be done to keep her man.


Wrath: Sleeping with the Enemy by Robin Covington
This is probably my favorite of the seven novellas. Loved her take on baseball, very realistic, but with a twist. The heroine’s job in normally a male role in real life and it’s fabulous to see the opposite. Conflict, Resolution, and finding one’s priorities in life.


Sloth: Princess Sin by Avery Flynn
Can it get any hotter on the deck of the private yacht? Fast paced and super sexy and then surprise...you’ll have to read and see. Love the snarky dialogue that Ms. Flynn weaves throughout all her novels.


Pride: Accidentally Sinful by Carman Falcone
Although the hero is her stepbrother, this is not one of those stepbrother stereotypical novellas. Great characters, good dialogue, and of course a little heat. Another fabulous read by Carmen Falcone.


Greed: How to seduce a CEO by Talia Hunter
Great characters, loved the conflict/resolution. Twist on the normal CEO style story.


Seven great fabulous reads!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Lots of variety here with some really great ones, and ones that just didn't do it for me.

Blaze for Me: This was really cute. When Nicoletta is busted spying on a couple having sex by her longtime crush, neither one of them is really sure what to do. There's a lot of heat here and I really enjoyed the word play between Nicoletta and Austin.

Glutton for Punishment: This was a borderline for me. I like that it was a different take on the BDSM appeal and it seemed very real to me.

Burned by Lust: I couldn't do this one. The Hade picks Lee up out of a fellow bikers bed and that just didn't sit right. Totally a personal preference.

Sleeping with the Enemy: Outside of some of the baseball trade and agreement lingo - I loved this. I loved Kat and Derek's past and how everything just seemed all tied up so nicely together. Now, there wasn't too much baseball business lingo, but I'm totally clueless so I may have missed a few of the underlying bits and pieces in this one.

Princess Sin: This was one of my favorites. Cynthia appears to be a lazy do-nothing rich girl, but it isn't what you think. When Hunter realizes what lies beneath the exterior, his long time passion for her really comes out. I loved the two of them together.

Accidentally Sinful: I just can't do the step-sibling thing - sorry. I know a lot of people love it, but it isn't for me. Carmen Falcone is an amazing writer though, so I'm sure this one was great!

How to Seduce a CEO: Talia Hunter really had me cracking up with this one. Another favorite from the bunch, I loved Angel's go to attitude for business and pleasure. She attacks life with such gusto that I just couldn't help but cheer for her every step of the way.

Carmen hit a home run with this story! I typically do not gravitate to a step brother/sister romance. However, this story line was one I could get behind.
I fell for the H and would love to see how the relationship develops personally and romantically.

Blaze for Me: Natalie Anderson.
Every once in awhile you read a book where the characters stay with for long periods of time. Sometimes, you are lucky enough to find characters you can't stop imagining where they there are now? They become friends. I would follow them as round the world and through wedding planning, kids, teenagers and old age. I can't say that about every book I read.
I received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review from Carmen. Natalie Anderson was a new to me author so I had not expected to be drawn in as I was. This was my first book by Natalie but it won't be my last.
