When she meets Ryan Sloan, the chemistry is scorching, and utterly undeniable. Their desire for each other runs red hot. He wants everything she’s willing to give him in bed, and she wants him to take her to new heights as only he can.
Soon, he has to have more. All of her — heart, mind and body.
The only trouble is, he hasn’t been honest about how he met her and the dangerous connection he has to her brother. When the truth is revealed, he’ll have to give more of himself than he’s bargained for or risk losing the only woman he’s ever let into his heart.

I loved this second book in the Sinful Nights series! It was perfectly titled being sinfully sexy, and seductive. Ryan Sloan meets Sophie Winston by chance when he goes to the police station to answer questions about his father’s reopened murder case. Ryan and Sophie have instant attraction and chemistry. Ryan has kept his mother’s secrets since he was a boy making him feel like he has no control in his life. He has a hard time opening up to anyone but his family. Sophie is an intelligent, successful entrepreneur turned philanthropist. She is planning and organizing constantly and longs for someone to command her so she can live in the moment. Ryan loves how Sophie is confident, direct and a bit naughty. He needs to be in charge of her pleasure because it helps him feel the control he craves. They challenge each other in every way making them perfectly matched. Their relationship grew beautifully, revealing their pasts and secrets, bit by bit. I loved how they worked through their differences and misunderstandings without all the agony and angst. The drama was reserved for the continuing mystery of who might be involved with Ryan’s father’s murder and his mother’s involvement. The mystery and suspense along with the plot twists keep you guessing what will happen next. This story was a perfect blend of an intriguing story, genuine characters, witty and intelligent banter, and scorching hotness! I loved every word in this story and can’t wait to read more in Colin and Elle’s book!
Lord have mercy can Lauren Blakely write a hot romance novel!
She’d seduced him with her willingness, she’d lured him in with her sweet naughtiness, and she’d captivated him with her mind.
Ryan Sloane is Ms. Blakely’s dirtiest talking, hottest, dominate male to date…and that is saying something. And Sophie Winston is his perfect match. She was just such a delightful character, I want to be her.
This book is the second in the Sinful Nights series, picking up where Sweet Sinful Nights left off…questions still abound about the murder of the siblings father and the guilt of their mother. Ryan has been burdened with his mother’s secrets for years and it has slowly been eating away at him. He, more than his brothers and sister, has felt beholden to her- making sure he takes the time to visit her, even while he was away at school. While the family drama is a large part of this book it’s not the main focus.
This is really the love story between Ryan and Sophie. While Sophie has a lot of love to give, and has been looking for someone just like Ryan, he’s not one to open his heart…never making it past a third date with a woman. Until Sophie. From the moment these 2 meet sparks fly…their chemistry is off the charts. I absolutely loved the progression of the relationship- what started out as a hot little interlude became so much more. Ryan didn’t know what to do with himself when it came to Sophie- it was heartwarming and heartwrenching to see him go through so many emotions, as he realized she was worth so much more than what he had been giving her and that he was finally so very willing to give her his heart.
His heart stuttered. It stopped beating for a moment, then it thumped harder against his chest, as if it were trying to fight its way out to get closer to her.
I adored this book. I adore Ryan and Sophie. I adore the Sloane siblings. I’m trying not to gush over this book because that’s really what I want to do. It’s sexy and emotional, it’s engaging and sweet, it’s truly everything you could want in a contemporary romance novel. I will be sorry when this series comes to an end.
Hot, romantic and DIRTY. I loved it!
