Wow! This book was so unbelievably good!!
After reading Tempting Sin, I couldn’t understand why Maddox pushed Jake and Fiona together, especially after all he’d done to help her. In Catching Sin, we finally get Maddox’s full story and why he steered Fiona towards Jake. It’s impossible to not fall head over heels for Maddox! He’s loyal, sweet, cunning, and willing to do whatever it takes to keep those he loves safe.
Isabel grew up in the roughest way possible, dirt poor and with a junkie mother, and raised her little brother until her mother’s death. After that, her life only seemed to get worse. Mr. Conti comes into her life with the guise of caring for her and her brother, but Isabel quickly learns that he is an evil man with dangerous and disgusting intentions.
The chemistry between Isabel and Maddox was epic! She so clearly struggled with her desire and her conscience. They were “beautifully sinister together” and utter perfection!
I am really hoping that there will be more books in this series and hoping that Gavin, Luke, and Ryan each get their own. Please!!

Isabel has found herself trapped in the clutches of a dangerous man that controls her every move. She knows it isn’t a good way to live, but at the time that she made the deal with the devil she had no other choice, she had to do it all for the sake of keeping her brother safe. She has made peace with her choices, and realizes she will never have a life with a good man that loves her, and that is okay… that is until a sexy, mysterious man wanders into the club and catches her eye.
The moment she lays eyes on Maddox she knows that he is a powerful man, she knows his type all to well, and she knows she should avoid him at all costs. But after a few casual run-ins she begins to see that her first assumption about him is all wrong, there is a good man under that front he puts up. But sneaking around and spending time with him is a risky game to play, one that could have a deadly outcome…
Catching Sin is a finger-singeing little page-turner that’ll lure you in from the first page and hold you hostage until the last… it is unputdownable! With it’s action-packed and dramatic story line it’ll have you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. Maddox and Isabel knew the moment they met that they were playing a dangerous game, but they just couldn’t help themselves, there was something undeniable between them and they weren’t willing to let it pass them by. They knew they were tempting fate and risking their safety messing around behind the back Isabel’s captor… but when you find a love like their’s you just can’t let it slip away. This first time read impressed on all fronts, it was enthralling, exciting, uber steamy, and it’s well penned words squeezed the heart. Highly recommend this one, it bound to take you on one heck of a thrilling ride!

Since starting to read J. Saman’s books, I have noticed that when beginning a new story penned by her, I better be ready to buckle up because it is sure to be a bumpy, winding, mysterious jaunt into a new fictional world. Since meeting Maddox in Touching Sin, the first book in the Las Vegas Sin series, I have been intrigued by this seductive, protective hero and couldn’t wait to delve deeper into his psyche to see what would make him tick, or should I say who. It wasn’t long and J. Saman drug me heart first into this world that is full of uncontainable desire and more questions than answers. I love a story that feels like you are walking in the dark and can only see a few feet ahead of you until right before you fall off the cliff and J. Saman has mastered that technique tenfold. I enjoyed every suspenseful moment of Maddox and Isabel’s cat and mouse game and couldn’t wait to see their hearts and the sheets twisted together.
Maddox is a nut that I couldn’t wait to crack and see what was on the inside. J. Saman purposefully left all her readers wondering about all the sexiness and benevolence this guy exuded in Touching Sin and the curiosity had me beside myself when I began reading Catching Sin. Soon Maddox had my heart pounding and me wrapped around his finger and singing his praises. If I thought he was sexy in Touching Sin, nothing could have prepared me for the up close and personal Maddox that J. Saman shows her readers this time around. He had me melting in a puddle and ready for Isabel to give up the fight and be his…because I surely am!
Isabel kept my emotions awry from the moment she was introduced. She was like a chameleon. One minute she was a wounded bird, a rebellious spitfire, and a woman so filled with passion that she was blinding to every male around her. She is a heroine that can hold her own and will never let someone keep her down. She is fierce, protective over her family, and will stop at nothing to be her own woman. She had me falling at her feet right along side Maddox and I couldn’t help cheer her on no matter how much danger she placed herself in.
J. Saman delivers a spellbinding, suspenseful, heart pounding read that is sure to check all of boxes for a must read romance. I highly recommend Catching Sin for a love story that will keep you mentally on your toes, heated, and falling head over heels in love with J. Saman’s newest fictional couple full of passion and intrigue. From the moment I picked up my first read by Saman, I knew that she would become one of my all time favorites and that I would continue to salivate and pine over her heroes while worshiping the ground her head strong heroines walk on. She keeps me glued to my seat and engrossed from the moment the first sentence is read long into the night because there is no hope of putting her stories down once a reader begins.
Okay so if you’ve read book 1 Touching Sin and know how it all started then Catching Sin is going to blow your mind. You are thrown into Vegas and the mob world. You watch as a nineteen year old young woman is tossed a massive curve ball and finds love in the most unexpected way. Izzy is this person who we love so much and get emotional with what life was dealt to her. Then bam…in the door walks Maddox, this fine as hell guy who didn’t know it at first but cupid struck him hard. Their banter is what makes this story. Maddox has some demons to over come but when his sights find Izzy well let’s just say…taken. J. Saman has had me laughing, crying, yelling and most of all felt love in every book I’ve read and this was no different. She knows how to keep us wanting more. This by fat is my favorite story and I hope that we get more from this series. I absolutely give it 5+ stars. I voluntarily reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader’s Copy
5+ Stars
Catching Sin is an action packed drama that combines strong characters and story to create a five plus star read.
Catching Sin has a strong storyline that kept me interested. It is gritty and fast moving without being unnecessarily violent or gory. There are violent parts, yet they are very well written and fit the tone of the book. The Vegas setting is perfect, however, it is more of a look at behind the glitz and glamour of Sin City.
I have loved Maddox since he featured strongly in Touching Sin as the best friend of Jake. I was drawn to his smarts, sexiness and strength from the beginning. He is the perfect leading man for me, tough on the outside and a sweetheart to those who matter to him. I have waited to see what kind of woman would capture his heart, and I wasn’t disappointed that it was Isabel. Although young, Isabel has been functioning as an adult for many years. She has been caring for her brother, often to her own detriment, since before her mother’s death four years ago. Still a teenager, she is caught up with the Vegas underworld and has to fight to keep herself and her brother alive.
What I loved most about Catching Sin was the build of Maddox and Isabel’s relationship. The trust that must be earnt that goes beyond initial attraction.
This novel is the second book in the Las Vegas Sin series by J. Saman. It is best to read book one first, but not necessary. I hope there is a book three in the works, even though I have just finished Catching Sin, I can’t wait to get back into this series.
All I have to say is, wow! What a spectacular story! So much goes on in this story that will make your head spin! We were introduced to Maddox in Touching Sin and I was elated to find out their was a story about him! He is all alpha, all hot and deliciously dirty. He’s also very private and secretive and I wanted to know everything about him! When he sees Isabel for the first time, he just knows he wants her. But she is somehow involved with someone who Maddox knows is sinister and he can’t figure out why. Will Maddox pursue someone who can possibly get him killed? Isabel is a young woman who has had a really lousy upbringing and is forced into a world she wants no part of. While her attraction to Maddox is unreal, she doesn’t want to take a chance something can happen to him. So when something unexpected happens and they are brought together, can they both fight their feelings?
I loved everything about this book. While a dark romance, Isabel made me laugh with some of her interactions with Maddox. She drives him crazy, but he loves every minute of it. And their chemistry is off the charts! I definitely recommend reading this story!
Catching Sin by J. Saman is the second book in her Las Vegas Sin series. Maddox and Isabel’s story is an entirely different beast compared to book one, Touching Sin. We met Maddox when he was helping Mia/Fiona and as Jake’s best friend. Here we see much more depth to his character, his alpha-ness (swoon) and his innate need to protect women who need it. Isabel is a young woman who has always had to do everything she can to survive and to protect her brother, even if that means almost literally selling her soul to the devil. When Maddox manages to get himself all twisted up in her life she has to reevaluate her goals and do her best to make sure that his plans don’t put her or her brother’s lives in danger. Sexy and steamy, set in both the underbelly of Vegas and it’s high-rolling casinos & hotels, this story is emotional and romantic and a little edgy. Enjoy!
Can you really catch sin or does sin catch you?
Catching Sin is the second book in the Las Vegas Sin series. This is the first book I have read by J. Saman so I was not sure what to expect, as you just never know when you try a “new to you” author. But the book description looked interesting and I decided to pick it up. For some reason I forgot I had it loaded on my Kindle and ran across it so decided to read it. Once I was done I was kicking myself for not having read it earlier. I found this book got me early on and kept me until the end with the engaging story-line and nicely developed characters. It was also well written and showed that author definitely has talent in developing and telling a story. When I was done I decided to buy the first book in the series, Touching Sin, and am looking forward to the next in the series when it comes out.
I received a copy of this book for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This is the best friend of Touching Sin. He is so sexy, so strong and so loyal. She is those things also but really needs someone to love her and protect her from buttheads who take advantage of her. It’s a beautiful and sexy story you just have to read!

Very exciting to read. There are no boring parts to read in this book. Everything that you read in this book comes together in a nicely wrapped package that you want to open again. So many issues covered in this book. Overall, the biggest one was a woman coming to the conclusion that it was time to take control of a situation that she should not have been in at all. The way she did it was so obvious that I was cheering her on while reading.
