I absolutely loved this book and all that was part of it. The thought of blind dating and sex and no strings attached is very intriguing. And the fact that they see each other and do not realize who each other are makes this story a great read. I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read the others.
This was my first read by Elodie Colt. Started off a little slow but once Ross and Devon met, the pace quickened. Cannot believe how this story had me clinging to my seat with every word! I found myself wanting to know more. I didn’t know it was going to end with a cliffhanger until BAM!!! Got slapped right in the face! Cannot wait for the story to continue. If you like suspense romance, then this story is for you.

Ella and Nathan try out a new and unique dating system. Everything is kept secret, including names and faces. They are matched and decide to meet. Then Ella’s past makes an unwelcome appearance. Well developed characters and background. Mystery, suspense, chemistry, romance and steam keep you riveted throughout. Looking forward to the next in the series!!

I like the concept behind Make Me Shine. It is well written with plenty of steamy encounters and drama. There isn’t too much of a backstory of our main characters Ella and Nathan other than what we are told within the story. I suspect that as the series progresses, they will be more glimpses into the past. Just when I thought I would reach the happily ever after, I found myself on one helll of a cliffhanger. Ugh!!!! It’s ok though; I’ll pick up the next install to the Six Sioent Sins Series.
Our couple meet via an exclusive dating program that promises anonymity. But as they go one more dates and events of the past begin to surface, will they cut and run or do they want to come out into the light?
This is book one of the series, so a perfect place to start. Just be warned it ends on a cliffhanger, not a good place to stop.
The story is very well written and easy to read. While this is a romance story at its heart, there is a very story element of mystery and suspense as well, particularly regarding the characters’ respective pasts. Speaking of which, the characters are both well developed with good, strong cores that allows the growing chemistry between them to take root. Overall, this was an excellent story and definitely leaves you hankering for the next book.
Highly recommended.

Wow what a great time I had with this book. The characters are well developed and engaging and the chemistry between them is undeniable. However, this is before they meet what will happen when they meet for the first time. Dang this storyline had me hooked from start to finish.

This is my first time reading this author and it’s a wonderful story. As the blurb indicates it does end with a cliffhanger and I can’t wait for book 2. The plot is great and the chemistry between the characters is awesome.

Original story that grabs you from the very first word!
This story is about meeting on a dating app. Ella bad breakup with crazy ex. He started doing stalker tendencies and she got out of dodge. Her sister sign her up for the dating app. Nathan marriage gone bad, divorced and after a little time has passed he sign up for the dating app. They have their dates and are doing very well at this until here comes the stalker Luka back to claim what he thinks is his Ella. Silent Sins now this was very interesting to me. I could tell you all about it but whats the fun in that. This was a captivating, invigorating and entertaining story. Ella had that fight or flight scenario. Which one do you think she choose? Get the book you will not be disappointed.

Make Me Shine is the first book in Elodie Colt’s new Six Silent Sins series. Nathan, a divorced CEO of Crawford Jewelry Company, and Ella, newly moved to the U.S. after being stalked, find each other through theSilent Sins no strings attached dating program which promises a perfect match. They meet at Silent Sins where they use their code names (Devon and Ross) with no personal information exchanged. At their fifth time together at Silent Sins Nathan asks Ella out on a real date. At the time of the date, Ella cancels because her stalker has found her and she fears for Nathan’s safety. I recommend this creative read with its well developed characters and an intense plot with suspense, mystery, and steamy chemistry. Beware, the book ends in a cliffhanger as Nate and Ella’s story continues in the next book.

Make me Shine by Elodie Colt was an enchanting, frightening, hopelessly romantic, and unputdownable story that kept me riveted from start to finish!!!! This is one of the best stories I’ve read in a long time. It follows Ella and Nathan. She’s a Russian interpreter…fearfully running from her past. He’s a very wealthy CEO of a jewelry empire. They meet through a new ‘dating’ app that promises anonymity.
But, they slowly fall for one another….that is, until her past catches up with her…and things turn deadly. Ends in a major cliffhanger. Man oh man!!!! What a story!!!! I was completely immersed in this book and let everything else in my life fall away until I finished….I can’t wait to read the next one!!!!! 5++++++ stars!!!!
I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This was my first book by Elodie Colt and I am hooked!!! This book had heat, chemistry, suspense, mystery and so much more plus that ending left me salivating for more!
Ella recently started over in the US and is hoping that by changing her name and appearance she can escape her past, the same past that has her looking over her shoulder, carrying mace and jumping at noises that go bump in the night. When her sister signs her up to get a free trial membership to an elite, no-strings attached dating app that promises anonymity she wonders if this could be the outlet that she needs. Nathan is still dealing with the emotional fallout of his divorce as well as his family’s nonstop drama. When a long time customer tells him about Silent Sins he realizes this might be the exact distraction he needs. When they meet in the dark room they don’t intend for it to be anything other than no-strings fun, but the more dates they have the more they start to develop real feelings. When threats from the past resurface and threaten the happiness they have, one person will be forced to make a hard choice about their budding relationship.
Ella was freaking amazing! I loved that even though she was haunted by her past, she still keep living her life, she might have been scared but she didn’t give up. I loved that she was just who she was, she didn’t need to apologize to anyone. I liked that she was shy/timid at first but as her character opened up in the dark she also became more open outside too. Nathan was so swoon worthy! His backstory from childhood, into his adulthood just broke my heart and I legit wanted to throat punch his mother. Nathan had a certain confidence that was so hot and when he started getting all alpha male in the dark.. lets just say this girl was definitely blushing!
I loved this book sooooooo much, like I can’t help but gush about how much I loved the characters and plot of this book! The whole idea of a dating company arranging for you to go on dates in the dark and never seeing the other person was super interesting. Technically you do see them, but never outside the special meeting rooms and those are dimmed enough that you can see enough not to walk into anything, but dark enough you can’t actually make out the other person’s appearance. I think this was part of what made the chemistry between Nathan and Ella so interesting, they could be anyone in the dark and they could let their guard down.
I was a little said this had a cliff hanger, only cause I was rooting for these two so much, but it just makes me excited for book 2! I highly recommend this book!!!

If you buy only one book this year, make sure it’s this one! The blurb & previous reviewers have outlined the story. For me it was quite a unique story, flawlessly written, & a compelling page turner. I didn’t want to put it down even to eat or for a comfort break, it was that good. Only word of warning…a cruel cliffhanger so Elodie, get cracking on Book 2, I need my fix asap! 🙂 I was privileged to receive an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.
The “Perfect Match” algorithm – A very promising & engaging first story to this series
—>>> Crawford Crescent CEO Nathan Crawford is still reeling from his betrayal then subsequent divorce from his ex-wife when he hits the final straw and finally takes the invite to participate in “Silent Sins,” a brand-new, exclusive, no-strings-attached service, promising “No emotional attachments, no courtship rituals, no friends with benefits. Just the benefits.” Unbeknownst to him, his best “perfect match” of 94% belonged to a woman named Ella, who was also on the fence with regards to being a part of a Silent Sins case study.
At the beginning, neither believe they have anything to lose by experimenting, so they think, until they begin to lose their hearts to each other during their exciting encounters. For this man whose life seems to be ruled by the number six, and the woman who cannot afford to stop looking over her shoulder, perhaps they really were destined to have their life paths cross. Unfortunately, their present lives do not seem to follow the harmony they feel when they are together in the dark, with so much remaining unresolved in their real lives. A very promising and engaging first story to this series!
Ella has moved to the United States when Luka went too far and broke into her apartment and was watching her sleep. She doesn’t feel safe so she doesn’t leave her apartment much. Her sister Zoya is worried about her so she signs her up for a new dating app. Ella goes to the first meeting to find out what it is all about. After a few days so goes back and signs up. Nathan is the CEO of Crawford Jewelry Company and after his divorce 6 months ago, he has not dated. Carl, a customer of his is the owner of the new dating app and wants Nathan to sign up for it. After a few days, he does. He gets the top 3 matches for him and Devon is a 94% match. Now Nathan has a thing about the number 6. With him, everything important happens with the number 6. Ella and Nathan agree to meet and they both know that they will not see who the other is. Things go good for them, and the more time that Nathan spends with Ella the more that he wants to see her away from Slient Sins. On their 5th date, he asks her to see him outside of Silent Sins. She tells him that she is not ready just yet. They set up their 6th date and then she texted him, telling him that she had to cancel. She ignores his text until finally, she tells him that it is not a no, but that there are things that she has to take care of. Luka has found her and hurts anyone near her, so she cuts ties with Nathan so he doesn’t get hurt.
Can Ella get away from Luka and have her real dated with Nathan or will she stay away from him?
Will Nathan get the answers to all his questions and get Ella or will he lose her for good?
This was a wonderful book that will have you from the first page to the last. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Wow! This was such a great book! It had me hooked from the beginning with what Ella was dealing with and Nathan’s complicated family life. But the two of them together…scorching hot!!! I loved the element of suspense that’s in the story. The plot is original and this book was so well written! There is a bit of a cliffhanger, which is killing me because I NEED to know what happens next!!! I’ll be waiting on pins and needles for the next book!
