I am just delighted at how entertaining this was, by far my favorite out of the series. Tamsin is a con artist and Worth is her new mark. But how does a con seduce a sexy CEO when he already knows the game? You've heard of cat an mouse game, well this story is just two cats playing for the same mouse. Thinking that Worth is exactly like all the other men she's conned, Sin believes she is helping his sister-in-law receive justice from his lecherous advances. Worth is determined to thwart Sin's seduction tactics and Sin is trying to redefine her approach. But what happens when they both begin to fall despite knowing the risks. And Worth's innocence comes into question upon his sister's dirty dealings. I loved it!!

Yasss👏👏👏🤗🤗

I knew this was going to be my favorite because this was the real thing. All throughout this book, I never felt all of these questions that I had from book 1 & 2... This one was very well developed and well researched...
Sin, was just that, SIN... Man oh man was she sinful. Now I did not quite understood what her crime was at the beginning, but the explanation came through the story and at the end the understanding of how she ended up free with no restitution was thoroughly explained. Sin was really a breath of fresh air. She was so down to earth and so vulnerable yet strong and very intelligent.
Worth, well at the rate of sounding too corny, "he was so WORTH it😏)... He truly started as a jacka#s, but he was truly a sweetheart and I love how he recognized his errors and really tried to change. Sin was just getting at the limit of being annoying and all of her self destructive thinking was really pushing to affect their couple but Worth was not having it and this is what you call a MAN...
This was truly a great way to end a series and I hope that Ten's story will simply be a stand alone (hint, hint!!!)

Worth might be my favorite male character from the Crooked in Love series. At first, I was hesitant. I liked Spencer's redemption and Lee's revelation and salvation. They were realistic.

Wentworth the third, or Worth, is an Alpha male.

I hate Alpha males.

They are tired, superficial, and more often than not misogynistic bullies.

Linda did not disappoint. Worth was cunning with a dash of Miranda Priestly. Against the siren Sin, he was always one step ahead. He went toe-to-toe with her and in the end, like a true Alpha, he won. His win wasn't about power or control. Sin didn't have to submit to his will or sexual assault dressed up as love. Instead Sin had to let go of her own self-preconceptions - what she deserved in the past, present, and future.

If anything, I wish the book included more of Worth and Sin after the games. I wanted to see more of their courting period. From Sin's perspective, Worth is overly harsh and nit-picky towards her which led to misunderstandings. After all, he was conning her as well.

Looking for Ten!

At times I wanted to wring Worth neck. He was ruthless at the treatment he displayed with Sin. I was looking forward to her unleashing her fire on him. Sin don't play games when it comes to her marks. He deserved to see that side of Sin. Funny ending! Hold on, what about Ten? Does she get a story?

This was the best Verji book I've read so far. Sin was the most fascinating of the crooks and Worth was a great hero. I was so engrossed in this, fully entertained, and sad to finish it honestly. Ten is fantastic too, so hope we hear her story one day. My one gripe is the mention of Stevia, it's just not a good synonym to use for kissing or any intimacy.

[Pirori · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was actually really good with a different plot line than the average romance plot line and I appreciated that but I still have to take one star off because I generally do not know how these two fell in love. I don't get it or see it. It seemed more like lust also the sex scenes were so lacklustre. They stirred nothing in me

Great because realistic

The storyline was not trite. The story was believable because the characters' reactions seem plausible. However I hate the "in, out, in, out" sentence. Not sexy one bit.

Good Read

I really enjoyed this book. I think Sin is my favorite crook. Her story is very entertaining and so is her hero. It was worth staying up for.

Sin and Worth

Worth was amazing! Perfect Alpha. Sin was the Great Alpha female. Can’t wait for Ten book. Hopefully she’ll get with baron

What a great story. This story was so different and so interesting. Sin and Ten were truly great friends. Worth was certainly worth loving. A must read.
