MY REVIEW:
Here for another review of one of my favorite miniseries of
novellas. I have never been so hooked or aware of when a new installment was
coming. It reminds me of the old western shows when the young girls waited for
the new story in the paper. It generated sales and suspense, Cynthia is a
master of suspense. She knows just where to stop the story and how to start it
up again.
Sinful Rewards 6 shows us that no matter how much we plan,
how sure we are about our life’s goals, doesn’t mean life itself won’t intervene.
Bee’s heart is reaching for Hawke, the one she can’t hold back with. Hawke lets
her be the person she hides from the world, but that’s the problem. Bee doesn’t
think that person will be accepted by the world. With her past influencing her future
she becomes even more determined to force her to fall in love with Nicolas.
Nicolas is brought more into the story when the storm at the end of SR5 damages
his beloved tree. He is exhausted, in need of only something Bee feels she can
give him, care. Bee cares for him and makes sure he rests. After he leaves her
with a scintillating kiss she believes her life is finally moving forward where
she wants it to.
As life would have it though, smooth sailing was not in the
cards. As hard as Hawke tried he was not able to contain all the damage from
the lunch with Lona. Belinda Carters name is all over the internet, blogs and
more. Lies are being told and believed; packages are being delivered right and
left. Bee becomes scared and not just for her safety but Cyndi’s who finally
comes home. With everything that is happening Bee is sure she will lose her
home, her best friend, and both men in her life. What once seemed so important
shifts and Bee will have some big choices to make.
Cynthia’s writing is captivating, heartwarming, and it is unbelievably
moving. From the first to the last page, I was drawn into Bee, Hawke and Nicolas’s
world, felt the sadness the fear, and loneliness that they felt. If you have not
read this series you need to start. These books are too amazing to pass up and
Cynthia’s writing shows us the ups and downs of real life woven into her
fictional characters.
PG Excerpt(Nicolas):
Nicolas emerges from my bedroom twenty minutes later, clean-shaven, dressed
in a charcoal gray suit, white shirt, and lilac silk tie. He’s male-model
gorgeous, fit to be seen on the cover of GQ magazine, and I gaze at him
with open admiration, unable to believe this superb male is interested in me,
Belinda Carter.
“I needed that break.” Nicolas strides toward me, gold specks dancing in
his dark eyes. The scent of sandalwood and exotic spices fills my nostrils. “I
needed you.” He hooks his arms around my waist and pulls me to his long, lean
body, his aggression exciting me.
I tilt my head back and gaze up at his beautiful face. He’ll kiss me now
and this kiss, unlike its predecessors, will erase all remnants of Hawke and
win my complete loyalty. I place my palms on his lapels, the fabric sinfully
soft under my fingertips, his form hard, and I wait, allowing him to take the
initiative, to seduce me as I long to be seduced.
Nicolas’s phone rings, the device concealed by clothing, and a part of me,
the foolish part loyal to Hawke, is relieved. He’ll take this call. He always
does, putting his company before his personal desires, before me.
Indecision flickers in my billionaire’s eyes and my heart beats faster and
louder, silencing the rumblings of guilt, the murmurs of discontent in my soul.
Nicolas is torn between business and me. This is how important I’ve become to
him, how much he wants me. I part my lips in invitation and he draws me deeper
into him, splaying his fingers over my back.
PG Excerpt(Hawke):
“Nicolas is coming over,” I blurt. “He needs somewhere quiet to take a nap,
and I volunteered my bed. No one will find him here.”
“I can find him there,” Hawke growls, his baritone rolling through my body.
“But you won’t,” I retort, his reaction thrilling me. He wants me, would
fight to keep me. “You won’t visit and you won’t call. Nicolas is exhausted. He
needs to sleep.”
There’s a long stretch of toe-tapping silence. I press my lips together,
smothering my bizarre urge to apologize, to offer more explanations.
“Is that all he’ll be doing, sweetheart—sleeping?” Hawke finally asks, his
voice scarily soft.
“We won’t be having sex, if that’s what you’re worried about,” I reply,
having no doubts about this prediction. “Nicolas knows I’m a good girl.”
“And you don’t lose control with him.” Hawke’s smug tone implies my lack of
restraint when I’m with him is a good thing.
The opposite is true, the passion I feel for Hawke making me nervous. He
tempts me to deviate from my plan, to walk away from Nicolas, my constant,
steady billionaire, to risk security for a wild whirlwind romance.
“He can sleep in our bed,” Hawke concedes.
“It’s my bed, not our bed, and I wasn’t asking you for permission,” I
mutter, titillated by his audacity. “I called because I don’t want you
interrupting Nicolas’s nap.”
“Liar.” Hawke
laughs and a tremor of awareness shoots along my spine, the connection between
us strengthening with every encounter. “You called because you missed me,
because you know in your heart you’re mine.”
