The Vault #1-3

The Vault Box Set

Rate this book
Three seductive men, one exclusive adult club, and enough devilish debauchery to make a sinner blush.

A Shot of Sin
Throw back a shot of pure pleasure.

She’s his employee.
His temptation.
A fantasy Leo should have kept at arm's length and admired from afar. He knew exposing an inhibited woman to his darkest desires would be a mistake, but the lapse in judgment had been inevitable. He can’t resister her. Not her body. Not her sass. Now everything he’s worked for hangs in the balance along with her clearly marked boundaries.

Union of Sin
He’ll do anything to protect her. Even if it means letting her go.

She's his wife.
His everything.
Tate made a big mistake. He picked the wrong place to introduce his wife, Cassie, to the alluring lifestyle they’d fantasized about. And she was assaulted because of his carelessness. He’ll do anything to protect her from another traumatic experience, even if it means making the agonizing choice to convince his wife he no longer loves her.

Brutal Sin
Falling in love will be brutal.

She's a woman without flaw.
He's a man with many.
Bryan is ruthless, heartless, and more than a little proud of his notorious reputation, until his bad attitude threatens to strip him of the one place he can’t live without. His sanctuary. The Vault. The exclusive club is the only place he feels at home, and he’ll do whatever it takes to reclaim what is his. Even if it means asking for help from the woman who landed him in trouble in the first place.

Overall 3.5 stars. These 3 friends had their hearts locked in a vault, and it would take 3 incredible women to pry their hearts/head open. All the men had hang ups and usually its the females that annoy me, but this time it was the men. I expected this set to be more erotic as it was set in a sex club. A few hot scenes in each book, but drama and insecurities and indecisiveness took the forefront. First book was my favorite, and I expected a lot more from TJ but was let down by his book. It was just stupid why he left his wife. I was really looking forward to getting an understanding of Brute in the last book, but it also fell flat for me. Overall an ok read. Glad it was on KU.

Very Good Series

First book-very hot.
Second book-I cried and cried and cried.
Third book-I thought it would be better, because I really love Bryan. The pace of the falling action was much quicker than the rest of the book.

Overall, it was a fun read.

Shot Of Sin
Has some funny moments.
Leo likes his life just the way it is. He shares a business with his best buddies TJ and Brute. They own a restaurant, a nightclub and a sex club in which they all willingly participate. Shay is an employee, and after a close encounter of the orgasmic kind with Leo in the storeroom of the nightclub Shay wants more. Leo however convinces himself that Shay is not what he needs in a woman but Shay will go to any length to prove she is. And if that means becoming an exhibitionist in The Vault Of Sin so be it.
Union Of Sin
Keep tissues handy!
TJ has the perfect marriage and the perfect wife, until he puts her in jeopardy trying to bring her into his world of sexual proclivity. For this and the repercussions he cannot tell his wife Cassie about, he can never forgive himself. When her husband leaves her bed then their home, Cassie determines to give him whatever space he needs, but when TJ serves her with divorce papers she refuses to go down without a fight. In disguise Cassie visits the Vault Of Sin to find out just how far gone TJ really is, or whether he still has feelings for her, but when they kiss it just causes more confusion. Cassie thinks he has moved on and finally gives up, while TJ is so riddled with guilt that he feels like he has been unfaithful. Their time is almost up, the divorce is about to happen, can they fix this?
Brutal Sin
Gritty. Brutally honest.
Brute has never known love. Not the love of his parents or family. They all turned their backs on him when he was honest and forthright about his sexual activities.
Shay asks him to help a member of the sex club, Pamela, who is threatening to cancel her membership because she cannot find what she needs after months of trying. Someone who can dominate her, tune into her needs without guidance.
Brute provides all that but nothing more.
He is cocky, confident and abrupt.
Every woman knows he only has sex with a woman once, but when he accidentally leaves his phone number on a members email the women can't resist sexting and texting him. All this happens on the day he receives a call from a cousin to tell him his Mother is dying of cancer.
Pamela approaches him at the wrong moment for more tuition and he humiliates her in front of the whole club, causing an uproar and outrage amongst the female members who demand a public apology or his resignation from the club. After all Brute and his friends made the rules.But while trying to get Pamela to come back to the club so he can publicly apologize he finds himself losing control around her and in his life. The sexual tension between them becomes too much and after finally giving in Brute becomes his namesake and lets Pamela walk away. Weeks later he is tense and more brutish than ever when he receives a funeral notice for his mother, and finally breaks down. His friends have no idea what is going on because Brute does not discuss anything personal. Is his mother's death or Pamelas absence the cause? Cassie unwittingly gives Pamela the funeral notice and the pieces start fitting together from the few times Brute opened up to her and she realises why he is the way he is. His need for tight control. When she goes to see him to console him she finds his mother's death is not why he is broken, it's Pamela who has unwittingly caused the problem.

A SHOT OF SIN
After reading the blurb I couldn’t wait to get started on this book, I was definitely intrigued.
I loved Shay’s sassy and stubborn side right from the beginning, I knew she would be a fun character to read about. But there were these little things that she did at times that did annoyed me a little. Leo was also such a great and fun character to read about. I loved how caring, strong and in charge he was especially with Shay. Also loved how her other bosses, T.J. and Brute, were very protective of her too.
I thought Leo and Shay's interactions with each other and some other characters (T.J. and Brute) were great, some scenes between Leo and Shay were very steamy and hot.
Although pretty predictable, this book was well written and it was hard not to love these characters.
I did feel Leo and Shay's story was far from being finished so I hope we get more of them in T.J.’s book and I can’t wait to find out more about him and how his story goes
4.5 stars

UNION OF SIN
I couldn’t wait to get started on the second book in The Vault series and read T.J.’s story. I loved reading about him in A Shot of Sin, I thought he was a really great character.
I loved getting introduced to his wife, Cassie, at the beginning. She had that spark and determination in her that I loved. The interactions between those two were very emotional especially at the start of the story, it was hard not to feel Cassie and T.J.’s pain. There were some very hot and steamy moments between them too, also one between Cassie and Shay (very hot). I loved reading about Leo, Shay and Brute (so intrigued by him, can’t wait for his story) again and how they were involved in the whole book. Shay was just as devious as she was in the first book that made me love her character.
I felt that T.J’s guilt at times made him overreact in some parts and how he solely blamed himself for things that weren’t his fault. That did annoy me a little as that was what he thought about most of the time. I’m glad he and Cassie finally got their happy ending (loved that ending!)
4.5 stars

BRUTAL SIN
I was beyond excited to finally read Brute’s story, I absolutely loved his character in the first two books so it was no surprise that I loved reading his book.
It was very well written with a rollercoaster of emotions, a little romance, humour and a lot of hot and steamy scenes between Brute and Ella. I loved all their interactions together including those with other characters, I loved the appearances of Leo and Shay and T.J. and Cassie again (it reminded me of how great their stories were too and how much I loved those characters), I loved the bantering between them all especially the defiance Ella showed with Brute. I loved those two together!
I was so happy Brute finally got his much deserved happy ever after although my heart did stop a little in the Epilogue but I absolutely loved it, it was a really good read that I enjoyed immensely

This is such a great boxset, the series will have you hooked and going straight into the next book you won't be disappointed. I have reviewed below each book and there shouldn't be any spoilers

A Shot of Sin

I wasn't sure what to expect from A shot of Sin I pretty much went in blind and I am so glad I did as for some reason I was expecting this full on BDSM book and to be honest I am a little over them, so to find out this wasn't I was super happy and that happy to the point I read this in practically one go.

I loved how this story didn't start from the very beginning of the main couple’s relationship it was like we came into the story when things were going to get heated which I loved.

Being this is part of a series I loved how we got to really know each character and it really made me want to read the other guys stories which made me go straight into the second book.

I loved Shay she was so sassy and independent and I loved that in her character but as we got through the novel we saw her vulnerable side and really see the love she has for Leo and also his best mates.

Leo was a funny character I loved the way he thought and the way he tried to not apologise for the way he was but he always considerate for shays feelings. He had his walls built up and I loved reading about them all coming down

If you’re looking for a hot, sexy, sassy book with some sexy heated scenes then this is the book for you and the next series you may devour.

Union of Sin

The thing I loved about this book was we learnt quite a bit about T.J but he had so many hidden secrets and to really get into the nitty gritty regarding himself and his wife was really excited.

I couldn't put this one down I really wanted to know what was happening with T.J and why he just up and left Cassie and what was keeping him away. I loved how this book wasn't the start of a new love but a couple really trying to find their way back to each other.

I really felt for Cassie, she really had no idea why T.J left her and served her divorce papers but I must admit I loved her tenacity and her fight for her husband, loved that she was so hurt and strong at the same time.

T.J kept thinking he was doing the right thing for his wife, he thought he would save her hurt and be honourable by walking away. What he didn't realise was that he was just hurting her, and really hurting himself. He annoyed me a little cause I kept yelling at the book to stop being so stupid but that's what makes me love this book.

This book was about second chances, finding out who you are and fighting for what you love and believe. Loved how this book was different to the first book in this series. The writing is fantastic you won't be disappointed picking up this series

Brutal Sin

Loved loved loved this 3rd book in Eden Summers Vault series. This has been a really fantastic series and if you haven't started it yet you really need to.

The thing I loved about this series was about 3 guys who owned a sex club were all so different and had such different stories.

With Bryan aka Brute I really liked him in the first 2 books he was kind of always in the back ground and you just couldn't gage him. You knew he was the moody guy who didn't talk much and was brutally honest, but that's what I loved about him. You just wanted him to have his happy ending I hope that there was a women who could break through his walls.

Ella (Pamela) was such a great character she was so lost and was really going to give up in her love life or at least to stop looking for a guy to have fun with. She had already been through a lot with her marriage and just seemed so lost.

I really loved the connection between these two characters and you really couldn’t ask for a better couple, they both had their demons and both didn't realise they needed each other.

What a great series and I would recommend these to anyone.

A Shot of Sin: A Shot of Sin is a workplace romance, but this isn't just any workplace! It's a restaurant (Taste of Sin), a bar (Shot of Sin), and a sex club (Vault of Sin). The plot is steady and unique. The characters are well developed, believable, and at times, very frustrating. Leo and Shay drove me so crazy sometimes that I wanted to shake them! Leo is part owner of A Shot of Sin, along with his friends TJ and Brute. Shay is probably their best bartender, with a sassy mouth and sometimes a hot temper. Leo and Shay got a little carried away in a storeroom one day, and now it's affecting their jobs. Leo doesn't think a permanent relationship will work with anyone because of the Vault.Will Shay prove him wrong? Can they continue working together?

Union of Sin: In a sense, Union of Sin is a second chance romance, but to label it so simplistically just wouldn't do the book justice. There aren't sufficient words to describe Union of Sin except to say that it really blew me away! From the first pages, I was spellbound. The plot held my interest all the way to the end, so I was up reading until 4:00 am!. It was riveting and filled with angst. The characters were complex, believable, and well developed. TJ is part owner of the Vault of Sin, along with his friends Leo and Brute. Cassie is his wife and silent partner in the Vault of Sin, in addition to working at a hotel. TJ and Cassie are in the midst of a divorce, and TJ won't even tell Cassie why. He admits that he still loves her and that there will never be another to take her place. She still loves him. So why are they getting divorced?!? (Seriously, TJ drove me insane most of the book, and I cried for Cassie more than once!)

Brutal Sin: What a fabulous ending to the Vault series! This book had so much angst and sexual tension; I couldn't put the book down without knowing how it would end! Bryan is nicknamed Brute for good reason; it suits both his persona and his demeanor. He was really maddening sometimes with his arrogance and attitude of indifference! That being said, he really was a great guy deep down, with a lot of loyalty to his friends. I feel like I would have liked more glimpses into Brute's family dynamics and childhood. Pamela, whom he nicknamed Ella, was struggling to find satisfaction. While I didn't dislike her and certainly felt great empathy for her at times, I would have liked to see her be a little bit stronger in standing up for herself and what she wanted, maybe more like Cassie from book two. The intimate scenes were well written and hot; it was undeniable that Brute and Ella had chemistry to spare. I cried more than once during the book, something that I really appreciate in a book.

I was thrilled that these three books were released as a Box Set! I was hooked on the series from book one.



A Shot of Sin
Shay Porter is the bar manager for the Taste of Sin restaurant and the Shot of Sin dance club. She has had on-going flirtation with one of the owners, Leo Petrova. Leo refuses to take things further because Shay is no match for what he craves sexually. When the bar downstairs, Vault of Sin, is short a bartender, the only replacement is Shay. Leo fights his partners knowing he can't expose Shay to the place where he doesn't hold back.

Shay has been aware of the mysterious club underneath the restaurant and bar where she works. When she finds out what goes on in the club and how involved Leo is, will she be able to step out of her comfort zone and risk everything for Leo.

Ok, so "A Shot of Sin" is the first in a series about three guys that run a sex club. That said, the book isn't about sex. There is relationship development between Shay and Leo. It is about Shay stepping out of her comfort zone and Leo being willing to meet her part way. While the focus of this novel is on Shay and Leo, Brute and T. J. play an active role. I loved the quality of the writing in this novel.

Union of Sin
Cassie Jackson has twenty-eight days to get her husband back. Tate and Cassie started experimenting sexually, him pushing her boundaries and introducing her to new things. On a trip, they decided to go to a sex club and Cassie was almost assaulted. Tate will do anything to keep his wife safe. He moved out of the bedroom then their house, now he has served her with divorce papers. Only, Cassie doesn't want the divorce and will do anything to keep Tate.

This is the second in the "Vault of Sin" series. It had a different spin because Tate and Cassie were already married and Tate loved Cassie. I liked the rebuilding of the relationship and how Cassie won't give up on Tate. While the focus of this novel is on Tate and Cassie, Shay and Leo also play a part along with Brute.

Brutal Sin
Brian is known by his friends and members of The Vault as Brute. He is known for being heartless and ruthless. Pamela is a member of The Vault to find the man who can satisfy her cravings that she hasn't felt since her husband died.

I have been waiting for this book and was so thrilled to get an ARC. I loved Brute in the first two books. Pamela is exactly what he needed. She is strong enough to stand up to Bryan. I loved his evolution from Brute to Bryan.

While I loved this book, I felt left in the dark with what had happened with Bryan's family. I wish we knew the background because it clearly influenced the man.

I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!

Fabulous collection of romances around 3 best friends and the secretive sex club they built, The Vault. Add in a set of strong, sexy women and this is the perfect formula for wonderfully erotic escapism.

Shot of Sin: Fabulously sexy and drama filled. I totally got sucked into Shay and Leo’s drama. Shay is strong willed and stubborn and from the moment she met Leo, one of her bosses, she was sunk. He is the perfect foil to her crazy attitude but after one brief encounter, he has kept his distance frustrating Shay. When Shay needs to work in the Vault, Leo is upset. See, Leo has secrets he is afraid to reveal to Shay. As Leo’s private world collides with the woman he struggles to stay away from, well, can happiness be found? Really enjoyed the friendship Leo, T.J. and Brute share as the owners of their “sin” business. They truly balance each other. I’m excited to experience T.J. and Brute’s stories to see if they can ever find what they are looking for in love.

Union of Sin: Another fabulous installment in the world of Sin. This time we get to peel back T.J. layers and find out about the pain he is hiding. He has this strong, sexy and totally intense vibe but yet, he also is always showing his strong protector side. He has filed for divorce from the woman he loves which doesn’t make sense until we get to see all the hidden secrets he carries. Cassie is a strong woman and is struggling with losing the man she loves. She is so confused by why he is pushing her away. I love how she works to save her marriage. Will T.J. finally see the light? I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

Brutal Sin: Finally, we get to peel back the layers to Bryan, aka Brute, and find out why he’s so harsh to everyone while giving incredible orgasms. Shay enlists Brute’s help one evening at The Vault with Pamela, one of the members is ready to give up. None of the men seem to know what she needs. Brute provides what he does best and gives Pamela an amazing orgasm. What Brute doesn’t expect is to have Pamela get under his skin. He can’t stop thinking about her which he fights with every fiber of his body while something in his personal life crashes down on him. I am so glad that we found Brute’s gooey center, Pamela is the perfect balance for him. At the same time, Pamela is moving on from a loveless marriage and is able to find that spark with Brute. Their battle of wills allows us to interact with the entire crew from The Vault to experience how their relationships have grown while supporting their friend. Of course, we also get all the intense and sexy encounters with Brute and Pamela.

I had to review the box set even though I read them individually. They are that good. (I did receive an ARC for the last book)
A Shot of Sin: Wow. Holy foreplay! What makes this book so good is the tension between the main characters Leo and Shay. Shay is a bartender at Leo's "normal" night club and unaware of the VIP "sex club" located underneath. Leo is one of three owners and the one Shay is attracted to. The reason this book is so good in my opinion is that while it has very sexual content, it never crosses the line into icky. In fact, it is the whole sexual tension and angst between Leo and Shay that gets your emotions going. Let's face it, if I wanted to read straight porn, it would be easy to find. A Shot of Sin (The Vault Bk 1) handles the sex in such a way that you are practically screaming at them to get together. The book is well written, the characters drool worthy and interesting, the sexual anticipation alone makes you tear your hair out in frustration, and overall The Vault 1 rocks:) I swear I instantly clicked for book 2 Union of Sin (T.J. and Cassie's story)

Union of Sin: Just wow. You know a writer is great when the second book in the series satisfies:) as much-if not more- than the first. "Union of Sin" is just as hot as "Shot of Sin" but with a dose of utter, complete, frustration and hair pulling argggg added in. This is Tate and Cassie's story. While I loved the book, I really wanted to bitch slap T.J. Basically he has filed from divorce from his wife Cassie due to a bad sexual incident that occurred in their pursuit of sexual adventure (not his or her fault). The whole storyline revolves around Cassie trying to save their marriage and find out why T.J. is really looking to divorce her. The pain, agony, sexual tension and sheer emotional aspects of this story are off the charts. You get so invested -and that is where the argggg part comes in. I just want to stomp my foot and yell at macho T.J. for being so stubborn in his views (while going awww that he just wanted to protect her). I don't want to give anything away but I was Team Cassie on the whole way. Eden Summers has written a sizzler here! Again wow-the sexual tension alone is off the charts in this book. A MUST read.
Brutus (Book 3) has already been clicked and on standby.

Brutal Sin: Wicked good time reading this installment in the Vault series! Couldn't put it down till I finished it. Brute has a way of sucking you into his story (with the help of the author:-) Hot enough storyline to sizzle, but not so explicit as to turn you off. Great Read.!

I love Eden Summers’ writing. Her stories are always raw and highly emotional. Her The Vault series, is all of that too, and still it is completely different. Unexpected. Fresh. And new.

This series is highly sensual and insanely addicting! Read snippets of my review of each single book below. But, oh my god, do yourself a favor and get lost in the sinful world of The Vault!

***

#1: A SHOT OF SIN

I loved each and every one of the characters – be it Leo and Shay, or TJ and Brute. They all have an incredible depth, and with each of them battling their own demons I am totally intrigued by TJ and Brute too.

What Shay and Leo are building in this book is definitely not your usual kind of romantic relationship.

SHOT OF SIN is seductive, naughty and downright carnal. Limits are tested and desires revealed – now I’m curious what other sinful secrets will be revealed with TJ and Brute!

***

#2: UNION OF SIN

Struggling married / established couples are one of my favorite kind of romance – add to that the sinful and dirty promises of a high-end sex club and Eden Summers’ stellar writing, and I knew I was in for an emotional as much as a passionate journey. UNION OF SIN is all of that – and more.

I downright adored Cassie. Her persistence. Her sheer unwillingness to give up on her marriage. Her endless love and devotion for her husband. Sigh. Yes, I am swooning over a woman. It’s not that often that this happens to me.

I loved everything about this story – the heart-wrenching storyline, the beautiful souls that are its deeply developed characters and the raunchiness and seductiveness that is their club Shot of Sin. Kicking, screaming, swooning, laughing, crying, fanning myself – I did all that – and more.

***

#3: BRUTAL SIN

Aaand I have a new favorite in the series. I had a feeling, I just knew it!

The story flowed effortlessly, beautifully, Brute and Ella’s constant push and pull as omnipresent as their undeniable and burning hot chemistry. But it’s not all passion and lust either, there’s also heartbreak and characters with so much depth that you cannot help but fall in love with them. A story as carnal as it is emotional.

I really hope for another visit in the Vault of Sin, for more carnality, more seductive and naughty pleasure. I’m really not ready yet to let Leo and Shay, TJ and Cassie and Brute and Ella go just yet.

The Vault Box set, by Eden Summers, contains three glorious books about love, sin, family and hot hot sex!! You can't go wrong!!

**A shot of Sin #1**

If your looking for a hot as sin book to read, look no further!! A Shot of Sin is my first book by Eden Summer. And it won't be my last! So, so hot!!

"Guys tend to want to get naked with any woman with a good dose of confidence and sexuality, no matter what size, shape or color."

I can't say I liked Shay Porter...a bit too whiny. But Leo Petrova, him I liked! And TJ and Brute...can't wait to read their story!

I highly recommend this book to any who wants a short and hot read!!

**Union of Sin #2**

Union of Sin, book 2 in the Vault series by Eden Summers. Here we get an answer to TJ's mystery. Cassie, TJ's wife, is heartbroken over the divorce papers. She can't understand why. She thought their love was meant to be...What are she supposed to do now? But then she gets an email and she makes some plans!
"I guess it's true - the quiet ones are always the freakiest in the sack."

It's well written, a lovely story about love, trust and hot, hot bedroom activities!!

**Brutal Sin #3**

Brutal Sin, the book 3 in the Vault series by Eden Summer.
I can't tell you enough how much I love this hot series!! Summer's does it again and again! Her books are filled with so much sweetness and heartache, funny moments and steaming bedroom activities!

Brutal Sin is about Brute, or Bryan and Pamela, or Ella...it's not so confusing as it sounds like, lol. I promise!!
Pamela are looking for a man who knows how to handle her...appetite. And, doesn't need a road map on how.
Brute, are one of three owners of the Sin club. He acts like a caveman without a heart. But when he gets asked to help a girl out, with her ..problem. Firstly, he see her as a challenge. Then he gets fascinated. And then...

I thank the author for providing copys to voluntarily review.

Sinfully Yours!

You need to crank up the aircon in here, because this series was hot AF!
Debauchery aside, it was sinfully sweet, naughty, steamy, hot, dirty and wild just to name a few.
Leo and Shay, TJ and Cassie, Brute and Ella
Business partners with sexual proclivities too hot to handle, the women coming to terms with another side of themselves, empowering and strong, owning there femininity.

These characters denying there attraction to one another was hard, it was seductive, sensual, suspenseful but also fun, but when they came together it was electrifying.

The truths, the lies, that lead to the past colliding with the present, the emotional turmoil they each faced was raw as it was powerful, it was fast paced, exhilarating, the twists and turns, it made my heart race and soar to unfathomable heights, how they were each tested, denying themselves, knowing that they wanted each other, the need to fulfil there growing attraction, the lust and fear, there love for each other heartbreakingly beautiful.

From the first word to the last, I was hooked, could not put this books down. This author clearly knows how to hook and ensnare her readers to ensure they come back for more, me I’ll definitely come back for more from this author for sure! The different points of view told a telling story , all connected very well, it made it so easy for the reader to totally immerse themselves, to get lost in the entirety of the story, it was absolutely breathtaking.

And those s€x scenes were very intimate, hot, raw, powerful, passionate, deliciously dirty, oh so steamy, wicked, beautiful, hot, wet and wild, and there happily every after is what any reader would wish for.

A SHOT OF SIN - This is book 1 in The Vault series and it features part owner Leo Petrova and bartender Shay Porter. The chemistry between these two is EXPLOSIVE! The angst was almost physical. I was immediately invested in their push and pull relationship. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see who is going to be the one to change.

UNION OF SIN - This is book 2 in The Vault series and it features TJ and Cassie. If ever there were two people meant to be together it is these two. Talk about chemistry! Cassie was so emotionally wrecked over what he was doing that her emotions just bled out of my e-reader. I could feel her emotions and my heart hurt for her. His reasons for divorcing Cassie were completely ridiculous to everyone but himself. Guilt does CRAZY things to people! Maybe it wouldn't have gotten so bad if he'd only trusted and talked the whole thing out with his two best friends. The guys' relationship is not emotionally sappy but kind of macho sappy, with all the grunts, back slaps and shoulder squeezes. A beautiful and deeply emotional story.

BRUTAL SIN - This is book 3 in The Vault series and it features Bryan "Brute" and Pamela "Ella". I knew Bryan had issues but who knew? Sexy in that total unrestrained confident way, Bryan didn't know what hit him and wasn't happy about it...AT ALL! The type of marriage to Lucas was a COMPLETE SHOCK!!! That might have been the tipping point for Bryan. These two had intense, emotionally gripping chemistry.

Amazing series with fan-freaking-tastic characters! I highly recommend this unforgettable 5-Star series.

Three great books in one. I read them separately but it is great they are now together. From the start of book one to the end I enjoyed every page!

#1-This is one of those stories once you start you won't want to put down. Shay's a bartender in a club. Leo is part owner. They are both attracted to each other. What she doesn't know is what Leo really needs to be happy. Can she be enough of what he is looking for? I enjoyed finding out.
#2-TJ and Cassie’s story was so good! Something terrible happens and it just might tear them apart. Can their marriage survive? I enjoyed their journey as they both learned to move on and live again.
#3-I thought this was a great story! Bryan knew what he wanted and what he didn't. One night of passion and then it would never happen again. Pamela was ready to find someone. Tired of being alone. Two people brought together with two different but both painful pasts. I so enjoyed watching Bryan and Pamela as they spent time together. Watching their inner growth as they both dealt with their past and also their feelings for each other. Their steamy chemistry and banter made a story I really enjoyed.

Book #1 Mitch and Alana were so perfect together and I love how sexy and cool this man is. I found the part of her grandparents meeting unexpected but I wish there’d been more closure with her dad.
Book #2 Blake and Gabi I wasn’t crazy about the beginning of this story but after the first couple of chapters I couldn’t stop reading. Their love story was perfect and I loved that he wouldn’t give up.
Book #2.2 was the bachelor and bachelorette party in Vegas for Alana and Mitch’s wedding. They did a lot of crazy shit and the wedding was beautiful. I enjoyed the story, couldn’t put it down.
Book#3 this story was about the lead singer and I just knew this story was going to be the most awesome and deeply heartfelt story of all the guys and I wasn’t disappointed. Sidney had lost everything because of choices made one crazy night. She fell in love with Mason and this journey was so perfect I was up until 3:00 AM to finish it. I just downloaded the next box set because Sean and Ryan have to find happiness at last too! I give these books five stars which I rarely do because they were as close to perfect as a writer can get.

This box set covers the three very different lives of the owners of the vault, Leo, TJ and Brute and the women that transform their lives all in very different ways. Leo and Shay start the series with Shay working at the vault before long she is asked to work in the secret part of the club and Leo's attraction to Shay is made obvious along with his sexual needs. The next book is TJ and Cassie who are married already but are estranged over a situation that TJ felt was out of his control and the story unfolds of the heartbreak that Cassie feels when TJ serves her with divorce papers and her fight to save their marriage. The third and final book in the series is Brute and Ella that really is a heartbreaking and wonderful sexy read. With Brute being raised by parents that showed no love makes it impossible for him to have long lasting connections with women until Ella comes along. All three books are very good thought provoking reads along with lots of sexy that keeps your attention throughout the series. This a fantastic five star worthy read.

Sammelband enthält 3 Romane

Es geht um drei Männer Leo, T.J. und Bryan, die befreundet sind und zusammen auch ein Lokal führen. Das Lokal teilt sich in mehrere Teilbereiche. Ein Restaurant, ein Tanzclub, eine Bar und im Keller ein geheimer Sex-Club.

Der erste Band befasst sich mit Leo und der Kellnerin Shay die ein paar werden und für mich noch der beste Roman der drei. Leo hat eigenwillige sexuelle Vorlieben und Shay tut sich schwer damit abzufinden.

Der zweite Band befasst sich mit T.J. und seiner Ehefrau Cassie. Der einfach nur lächerlich ist. Selbstgeisselung und Selbstvorwürfe die völlig deplatziert und unrealistisch sind und wirklich an das absurd Lächerliche grenzen.

Der dritte Band befasst sich mit Bryan genannt Brute und einer Kundin aus dem Club Pamela. Dieser Roman ist so langatmig und künstlich in die Länge gezogen, dass einem nicht einmal die erotischen Szenen wach halten. Auch diese Geschichte ist extrem übertrieben und an den Haaren herbeigezogen.

Hier gilt: Schade um die Lesezeit

FINALLY! A well written series!

Too many times I have been annoyed and distracted by bad language, poor grammar, details that make no sense, and the same old lines!
Eden's use of language and amazing writing skills let me really get into the stories behind these three relationships. Nothing was rushed, the anticipation that was built was great, and the endings weren't hurried or with the same old clichéd lines.
Apart from the sex scenes I especially loved the character development, especially with the female characters - how they really considered everything and acknowledged their own emotions and took their time. I've read too many books where the female character has been uncomfortable or uncertain then a paragraph or two later they've suddenly changed their mind on what was meant to be a hard decision or limit.
Best series I've read to date! Can't wait to delve into her other stories!

~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review~~~~~~~~~~

Step into a world of sin and your widest fantasy come to life. Welcome to The Vault, not your average club. This club caters to the taste of those that step out of their comfort zone into the sinful. Come and meet Leo, TJ and Brute the owners and players of The Vault. They are waiting to make all your sinful fantasies come true. This is the ultimate box set with AShot of Sin, Union of Sin and Brutal Sin all put together for the first time ever. Eden Summers is masterful in giving us our wildest fantasies. All three men are strong and demanding, they have certain tastes that requires the women around them to give in to their ultimate desires. This is one box set I will be reading again and again. The definition for debauchery is excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures, that sums up this box set perfectly!!!!

Welcome to The Vault, the hidden underground playground where adults have the opportunity play to their hearts content.
Friends Leo Petrova, Tate “T.J” Jackson and Bryan “Brute” Munro co-own a night club, Shot of Sin, together and whilst business is doing well there, the jewel in their business crown is the private adult club down below. Throughout this series all three hot, kinky men use The Vault to open their loving hearts to connect with their stunning women.
I loved how all three stories closely intertwined with each other and I was able to connect with all of the characters. Eden Summers has written an amazing box set that hooks you from page one and makes you want to read all three books one after the other.

A sexy shot of sin x 3

Firstly I have read all of Eden Summers books and the Vault Series would have to be my favourite. The concept of a 'classy' sex club owned by three friends Leo, TJ and Brute is different to other books by Eden.

After reading A Shot of Sin and Union of Sin I eagerly awaited the release of Brutal Sin. This boxed set allows you to enjoy all 3 books.

I became engossed in each story from the beginning. The strong characters and flow of the story line made for an enjoyable read.

By far my favourite character was Brute, with his tough exterior and soft heart. The development of the main characters throughout the 3 books allows the reader to learn more about them as the series continued.

The Vault Series by Eden Summers

What can I say…these books left me wanting more! The men, Leo, TJ and Bryan (aka Brute) own a bar with a private club downstairs (you get the idea…). Each story kept me on my toes and I think I read each one in less than 24 hours! There were definitely steamy parts, but there were also funny situations. Three separate, but intertwining, stories that prove there is someone out there for everyone! Now Eden need to revisit these men and their ladies, say 5 years in the future!

This box set contains three stories surrounding the Vault of Sin and it’s owners – Leo, TJ and Bryan, aka Brute. Three delicious, alpha males, their sizzling love lives and the lucky women they encounter.

Separately, these books are hot. Together, they are scorching. Owning this box set will allow you to dive right in to their world without coming up for air. It has everything: steamy encounters, sarcastic banter, angst by the bucket load and a healthy dose of romance too. What more could you want??

This series was an amazing read. Looking forward to reading more of this author's work in the future. So glad I discovered her on tiktok last week. This series had not only a great deal of sexual chemistry/tension between each of the main couples, but also delved into the intense emotions that can make or break a relationship. I appreciate that these books balanced the steamy scenes with scenes focused on building an actual emotional connection. Each of the books focuses on one couple, but they all take place in the same world/same people appear in all 3 books.

I can't imagine a reason not to buy this box set, especially for 99 cents!!!! Eden Summers has outdone herself with these 3 books about the 3 partners of Shot of Sin and The Vault, Leo, TJ , and Bryan (Brute) and the women they love, Shay, Cassie, and Pamela. Each couple are well written, interesting characters. Each story is well paced and a page turner from start to finish. Give yourself a treat for this weekend and buy this set!!

three best friends

I had the pleasure of reading all three books consecutively! The stories separately can be stand alone except I personally think they are/can be considered part of a series.
Leo, TJ and Brute each have. Personal dilemma they are dealing with that of course impacts their love life! The books are quick and kept my interest! I teared up with each of the stories! If you like strong headed men and a happily ever after...this series is for you!

The Vault contains all three books from this series: A Shot of Sin, Union of Sin and Brutal Sin.

All three of these stories are wonderful and this is a must read series.

You get three strong alphas and the three heroines that capture their hearts. Plus, you can't ever go wrong with a book that is written by Eden Summers.

Good read

If you like your sexy men and sex club storylines you will enjoy this box set. It is about the 3 owners who are best friends and the women they fall for or who they have already married. Each book is about the 3 main characters and their journey to finding love but the characters all interlink throughout all 3 stories. Some traumatic memories of some of the characters and their struggles to find love or keep love.

Three individual stories that play into each other. Shay and Ella. TJ and Cassie. And Brute and Ella. I wanted more from the stories. They had potential to show more of the BDSM lifestyle but fell short.

Hot gorgeousness

Loved all three of these hot stories about three friends who own and run a sex club amongst other things!
Don’t think I can pick a favourite, although if forced I’d go for Bryan!!
