I have to admit Covet took me by surprise. I was expecting to get a second book that would connect to Sin, but I didn’t Covet is the second book but can be read totally separate to Sin and you won’t miss anything. In Covet you get Casper whom you will have only saw a peak of in Sin. Aurora and Casper are an instantly enjoyable couple. Aurora is an independent kind of girl so it wasn’t hard to see her and Casper as a couple while he is running around doing his job. But when they are together it is like a bomb goes off.
I found Covet to be an enjoyable story.
All the feels! Thanks!
Whew! What a read! From beginning to end I was hooked on all things Casper and Aurora… Seriously these two were ! After one heck of a one night stand it is determined that one time will never be enough for these two… the journey they go on, how their worlds collide & all the twists and turns that I love about a good mafia read … Seriously, ALL THE FEELS! I could not put Covet down & I cannot wait to read the next book in this series!

You always now how to put words to paper! It’s like they just fly! Your magnificent! I still keep trying and hoping there is more at the end of the story, which I know there is not. I always want and need more.
4.5 Stars
I enjoyed the book. Loved the action and the roller coaster ride this couples’ relationship went through. Enjoyed the hot sex scenes too.
An amazing addictive read in the Beautiful Sinner series! The storyline is engaging and action-packed with drama, secrets, suspense. A page turner that moves along at brisk pace and will pull you in from the first page and keep you turning the pages to find out what happens next. The characters are complex and layered; their attraction is instant but not fully developed. Definitely recommended!

What an amazing story. I absolutely loved it from the beginning it had me hooked right away.
The chemistry, the drama, the little action it kept me glued in every time I opened it up.
I never wanted it to end.
Casper and Gem are amazing together. They both realized that when they are not together things don’t go right and when they are together everything goes smoothly.
When Casper gives Gem advice it’s like he knows what she needs to hear and accept.
Gem understands what he needs to do in order to put closure on losing someone close to him.
Awesome story!!!
What can I say about Covet? Covet tells the story of Casper and Aurora and although part of a series can be read as a standalone.
Elena Reyes really knows how to create a world that you are sucked into from the first page. This book had a lot of push and pull and I loved it. Casper is the head of the U.K. mob and knows from their first meeting that he wants to be with Aurora. While Aurora, although enthralled is dealing with a lot of personal issues and struggles with believing Casper and his want of her. It does not help that Casper spends a lot of time away from Aurora and while frustrating sometimes, you understand why. At times, it did take away from some of the story because you do not realize how long they have been a part. I do wish they would have spent more time together, rather than the continuous push and pull they had going on. They definitely had chemistry and you could see that from the first page. I am excited and impatient for the next book.
This is book two in the Beautiful Sinner series. Meet Casper and Aurora. Casper has a an intense violent reputation as a mob boss that he has earned and not a lot of people are challenge willingly. Aurora is a beautiful and independent woman whose father is a mob boss as well and who has decided to sacrifice his family for his business. When these two characters meet, it is instant attraction and the sparks go flying. These two are geographically challenged, can the long distance relationship work or will it end up destroying it? If that isn’t enough there are secrets to be kept that become revealed, how will those impact things? Another well written story that I found to be fast paced as I could not put the book down. I had to find out what happened next. I loved the characters, their layers and their emotions that came through as you were reading. Another great book in the series and I cannot wait for the next one. Enjoy!

Covet is the second book in the Beautiful Sinner series by Elena M. Reyes and is the story of Casper Jameson and Aurora Conte. Casper is a dark ruthless mafia boss for a UK syndicate who is obsessed with Aurora, the daughter of another mob boss unbeknownst to her. The couple has a turbulent romance and they each have their own life secrets which affect their relationship.
The book contains violence, murder, intrigue and suspense, unexpected twists, and passion with steamy chemistry. This well written novel has great characters and an intriguing storyline. I recommend this book and the Beautiful Sinners series.

This book starts out with a bang literally and it does not slow down. This fast paced love story is simply amazing. Aurora meets Casper in a London club and the spark is instantaneous. Casper is drawn toward her and refuses to let her go no matter the complications. Things are not easy for these two however between family demands and outside forces they have to fight tooth and nail to get their hea. It is definitely worth every twist and turn though because these two are meant to be. I can’t wait to read the next book! Loving this series so far.

She’s made me break my rules.
Covet is book two in the Beautiful Sinner Series by Elena M. Reyes I have been looking forward to Covet since the day I finished Sin! If you thought Sin was hot, you haven’t seen nothing yet! Although this is a series, the books are interconnected standalones so you don’t have to read them in order BUT with that being said, I’m glad I read Sin first since there are characters from that story that we get to catch up with in Covet. Told in dual POV you aren’t going to want to miss this steamy, suspenseful, mafia romance!
Such a beautiful chaos.
Casper Jameson, the head of the Jameson Syndicate based out of the UK. Casper is ruthless and everywhere he goes, in the UK or America, people know he isn’t one to be crossed.
Casper is out for a few drinks with his crew, trying to unwind after a shipment that went wrong when a bombshell catches his eye.
He’s immediately smitten and with a few glances and a bit of conversation, he takes her home with him.
After a wild night together, Aurora discovers that there is more to Casper then she expected.
He’s a criminal, a mobster, a bad guy… just like her father.
I’ll always be the same depraved arsehole, but with an exception now. Gem is the exception.
So she runs.
But she doesn’t get far.
For her, I’ve become a stalker. The lion in our private game of chase.
Aurora Conte is the heir to the Boston mob king, but she wants nothing to do with that lifestyle.
Even though there is a pull towards one another that neither of them understands, their story is all too familiar to Aurora. She refuses to go down down the same path that her mother did, with a man that chooses “the” family instead of “his” family and she can’t trust her heart with a man that’s just like her father.
He’s nothing but bad news wrapped up in a handsome package. A beautiful disaster. This man has heartbreak written all over him, and I’m going to be damaged goods after he leaves.
But the pull between them is just too strong to deny, and Casper doesn’t give up easily.
Just as Aurora starts to give in to the idea of “them” something unexpected happens within Casper’s family and he’s called away.
Leaving their relationship in a state of confusing lingo for months on end.
Aurora already has such a preconceived notion of “men like him” and the distance makes her insecurities run wild.
Even with an ocean separating them Casper is never far from his Gem. Showing up ecspecially when she needs him the most and always making sure she’s protected… even if she doesn’t know it.
Together we’re an exquisite explosion. An unavoidable catastrophe we will morph into a beautiful beginning.
But while Casper looks into what’s happened, making those who hurt someone close to him pay all over the world. A rival crime family steps in trying to steal territory… and Aurora.
Can Casper continue running his empire while also protecting Aurora?
Can two members of opposing crime families find their happy ending?
You’ll have to check out Covet to find out!
Aurora looks like the sweetest mess for me. Like a bad decision under the design of a priceless jewel. Like a gem. The kind I’ll covet.
Covet kept me right on the edge of my seat until the very end! As the story progressed I was doing my best to try and guess who was up to no good, and who was behind what happened. Let me just tell you, there was ONE thing that I guessed right. The rest I had NO FREAKIN CLUE! I LOVE being surprised by endings. It doesn’t happen often. I’ve read so many books that I can usually guess pretty quickly, but with this one, I was left with my jaw on the floor!
Her body calls to mine like a siren’s song.
Casper, the sexy and vicious mob boss is all kinds of dangerous and protective and if you hurt the people he cares about… well, let’s just say he’s got a pair of karambit’s with your name on them! The times that he was affectionate towards his Gem *SWOON* I think I highlighted damn near everything he said to her. For such a hardcore ruthless killer, he’s a total sweetheart! He made sure Aurora knew from the very beginning that he wanted her and no one else. Aurora belonged to him. He may have messed up a few times as far as communicating with her, but she was never far from his mind and she was ALWAYS protected.
Aurora is my favorite type of heroine! She’s sassy and has no problem standing up for herself. She stands up for herself and doesn’t back down from anyone, not even Casper. I felt for her while she grieved for her mother and I loved how understanding she was when Casper had to do what he had to do and although I wanted to be mad at her once she stopped understanding, I couldn’t. He broke his promise. He didn’t call and I know I would have felt the same, especially with the insecurities she already dealt with.
You’re my Gem because you’re trouble under the disguise of a priceless jewel. Rare and hidden, but once found, they come attached to a heavy price tag. A life of servitude.
Casper and Aurora are freaking smoking HOT!!! Seriously you guys, the steam in Covet is on point!!! These two are hot and heavy right from the very start! As the story unfolds their relationship just becomes more and more intense and the passion between them continues to flame. The push and pull between them just make the times they are together even hotter. Ya’ll better have a change of panties when you start reading this one!
From the moment I laid my eyes on her face, I’ve become an addict. Wanting more. Needing her closer. it’s something that makes absolutely no sense, but I’m not fighting either. It just is. We just are.
The only thing I would have liked to have seen more of was Casper and Aurora spending a bit more time on the same side of the ocean. But because of the plot of the story and what was going on, I totally understand why the story was the way it is, and it all worked out perfectly in the end.
I have been obsessed with Reyes‘s work ever since I first got my hands on Sin! Elena is the freaking BOMB at writing these sexy alpha mobsters along with their leading ladies who although have an innocence to them, still have that backbone that I love in heroines. Her flow, her style, she is most definitely one of my one-click authors and she hasn’t disappointed me yet!
If you enjoy suspenseful romances with a darker edge and a whole lot of sexy, then you are going to want to check out Covet, as well as Sin!!! I am loving this series and I can’t wait to get my hands on Thiago and Luna next in Mine. You don’t want to miss these beautiful sinners! I highly recommend!
If you do, Gem, I’ll follow. Remember that. I’ll always be but a few steps behind.
ℂ ’ ℝ:
– If you enjoy suspenseful romances with a darker edge, a sexy alpha mafia man, and a whole LOT of sexy, then you are going to want to check out Covet! Trust me when I tell you, you don’t want to miss these beautiful sinners! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
– From the very FIRST PAGE, Covet is SMOKIN HOT! Like seriously, up against the door, all the way through the house, and to the bedroom hot! If you thought Sin was hot… you haven’t seen nothing yet!
ℂ – No cliffhanger, after a whole lot of suspense and angst there is a happy ending for Casper and Aurora! But now I’m even more intrigued with Thiago and Luna and can’t wait to get my hands on their story, Mine!

The second book in the Beautiful Sinner Series Covet revolves around the characters Aurora and Casper.
Casper is the head of a mafia family in England where he meets Aurora who is on holiday from Chicago. As soon as he sees her, he is determined to make her his. Aurora has her own connection to the mafia back in the states with her estranged father who wants her to step up and take over. Complications arise for both Casper and Aurora finding it difficult to connect and commit to each other, but Casper will not be swayed when Aurora takes a step back. He will always find her and make her understand that he needs her as much as she needs him. This book can be read as a standalone without having to read the first book, Sin.
Covet Book 2 of the Beautiful Sinner Series is Casper and Aurora’s story. I will admit that I have a signed copy of book 1 that I haven’t read {Hello!?! signed copy}!! But didn’t feel like I missed anything, totally a stand alone! So this American girl steps into this pub and bam! She see’s him, he see’s her and fireworks! Smooth as silk Casper walks up and tells her, she’s his date. There is chemistry from the get go, I mean hot against the door chemistry! But after over hearing a conversation Aurora decides this is just a one night stand! Uhm yeah not so much! This is a dark crime ridden, down and dirty story that I adored! Now to go and read book 1 and wait for book 3!
A mafia romance that led to marriage!
by sewsummore
This was a twisted mafia romance between Aurora, a mafia Princess and Casper, head of the Jameson mob in England. Their love had nothing to do with their mafia ties, instead it was a love born out of intense attraction. Despite living in different countries with very different responsibilities, the commitment to each other was strong and lasting. They had to work hard for their love to survive with enemies waiting to destroy them. There were many twists to this story, revenge and hatred bought them pain and the loss of their loved ones but their love enabled them to find a way to be together. This was an intense and dramatic story that I greatly enjoyed, Casper was not a good man but family was sacred to him. Aurora had little time for her father, a man who abandoned both her mother and her to marry a woman in an arranged marriage, she wanted a man who would put her first and in the end she found him.

I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for book two in the sinner series, and I was very happy when the book was released. While I really enjoyed this book, I was not happy that aurora and Casper spent so much time apart. The majority of the book, to be exact. I loved how, in book 1, Malcolm was all over London and tried to protect her and keep her at his side for the majority of the book. Don’t get me wrong it was an amazing read I just wished he characters would have not spent the majority of the book apart. While the romance took a backseat the story was really great, and Casper was doing his best to avenge his mother try to protect Aurora. Good book and I am looking forward to book 3 in this series.
** spoiler alert ** One look across a pub changes everything. Will they find a way to make it work?
I loved the struggles these characters had and how they were determined to find a way to make it work. I didn’t blame her for being hesitant to trust him after her past growing up, but loved how she didn’t deny what her heart wanted. I loved how when he messed up he was determined to do whatever it took to when her back. Great read and cannot wait to see what this author comes up with next!
