It was always him…The one I shouldn’t want, shouldn’t crave, the one who could destroy my carefully built life.Hagen Lykaios was the essence of sin, indulgence, and danger – everything I knew to avoid.All it took was one unexpected touch, and he consumed me, left me begging, needy, and hungry for more.He said if I entered his world he would corrupt me, own me, and change all that I had ever … and change all that I had ever known…and you know what?

So, holy smoking Kindles, this book is hot! Surprisingly, through all that smexiness, comes a really good story featuring some great characters and intriguing plot. I loved the names these characters have. .. Persephone Starlight Kipos and Hagen Christopher Lykaios. They grew up together, always had feelings for each other, yet neither could act due to family dynamics, illicit activities or fear of the unknown. Yet, when they finally get together, BOOM! Hold onto your panties, ladies!
I had the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book, and that’s the only reason for the 4 star rating. There were a few continuity issues and grammar mistakes that were hopefully caught and corrected before final release.
Master of Sin is fantastic! The anticipation was absolutely worth the wait! Outstanding from start to finish! The central characters are pragmatic, genuine and multi-faceted. I am absolutely captivated by Persephone, an intelligent, independent, self-disciplined woman with a feisty personality, and Hagen, a billionaire bad boy with a huge capacity to love and the determination to pursue the woman he has always considered “his one”. The supporting characters add a depth to the story and provide exciting hints of what is to come in future books in The Gods of Vegas Series. The story-line is realistic, relatable and filled with elements of suspense and intrigue interwoven with romance and steamy sex. The writing is excellent – descriptive, seamless and easy to read. Master of Sin sets the tone for a series that will keep you wanting more. Whether you are new to Sienna Snow or a dedicated fan, this book and this series will have you hooked from the beginning. I highly recommend adding Master of Sin to your library.
I really enjoyed this book! I was expecting more Dom qualities in Hagen in the bedroom but it was sexy none the less! The story line was really great and I loved Persephone’s backbone! She smart, successful and can knock Hagen on his ass lol! My interest was definitely peeked when there was a sneak peak about what is up with Pierce! Can’t wait to read his story!
Like so many queens of high-stakes family romance dramas before her, Sienna Snow has created a series you don’t want to miss. I’m so glad that I didn’t! As I read this book, I was reminded of the sweeping sagas that Jackie Collins and Harold Robbins used to create, with very character’s actions having ripple effects both dangerous and passionate. Because this was the first book world builder, there were a lot of cast members to meet and storylines to keep straight, but that only made me look forward to the next books more. The main characters of this book, Hagan and Persephone, have been friends since youth, and have denied their attraction for far too long. Once the book’s second act kicks in and they finally let those feelings combust, the pages are on FIRE. It was a beautiful experience to watch them both overcome the fears of their past and the programming in their heads, to finally trust in the love of their hearts. An absolutely memorable read!
I really enjoyed this book. It has everything you are looking for, a female who is much stronger than she appears, a super sexy alpha male who has been watching out for her for years, an attraction that simply cannot be denied, family bonds, family drama, etc., etc. This super steamy book definitely delivers in terms of romance, chemistry, and sexy time.
The one place it was lacking for me, was more of my own hang up. The title led me to believe that Hagen was at some point going to get real dirty or somewhat kinky in his sex. This never really happens. Although the sex is good and steamy. I will definitely be on the look out for the next one to see what the brothers are going to get into next.
Easy, quick read with a good amount of steam. Penny was a great main character and I loved how Hagen was with her, there was enough drama to keep it interesting, all of the supporting characters make you eager to know more about them.
This author is fast becoming one of my favorite go to authors. I loved that her characters are unique. They all may have the same characteristics but each are different in their own way. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Wow! I love Sienna Snow and I swear each book gets better than the last! This is insta-love at it’s finest! This story sucked me and did not let go until the very end! I hope to see more of these characters soon! FIVE STARS!!
I loved Sienna Snow’s political series so I jumped to read this too. WOW, not quite the same but plenty of heat!! A kinky story about Hagen and his promise to corrupt. Penny has it all but the one thing she craves and Hagen is more than willing to provide it. A well written story with more that meets the eye, great side characters, an instant attraction, some secrets and bit of drama. I am ready for more.
Sienna Snow is the Mistress of Sin! Her books are carefully curated temptation that I fall in to with reckless abandon each and every time. The writing style is spellbinding, the tension palpable, the characters mesmerizing… I can’t get enough and anxiously await the next installment in this Gods of Vegas series!
Penny and her Brother Adrian have a problem with his Mother and her step Mother Dara. She’s money hungry and a bitter woman who they think had their father killed. When Adrian explains he could have old friends of the family help with their situation. Penny is wondering if the Lykaios brothers could help. Especially Hagen the one she’s thought of for so many years. Sienna wrote a story filled with lots of twists and turns and plenty of moments that will have you begging for more! I can’t wait for the next installment in this series!
Persephone “Penny” Kipos has always been a good girl trying to follow in her father’s footsteps and trying to save his company from her step-mom Dara who hates her. She wants the company for her half-brother Aidrian but she is also aware that Dara will stop at nothing to destroy her.
Hagen Lykaios is a bad boy in Vegas and his mom was best friends with Penny’s mom. He knows he isn’t any good for her but also wants to protect her with everything he’s got. He and his brothers own several casinos around town and when Hagen was growing up he was taken in by Draco Jackson after his dad kicked him out.
When Penny’s life begins to fall apart due to her association with Hagen will she be able to get everything together to protect what is rightfully hers? How far will Hagen go to protect Penny and will he risk losing her to keep her safe?
This was such a great book and it grips you from the first moment as so much is happening that you are never quite sure what is going to happen next.
I thought Penny was such a great character and I really liked how she was trying to help her father’s company so it went to the rightful heir but she also had to protect herself as much as possible as she knew how evil Dara was. I loved her relationship with Aidrian in spite of everything the two of them were up against.
Hagen was a great character and he had wanted Penny for so long. I loved when he proved he cared about her but I was definitely shocked about how she agreed to certain things not knowing what I discovered.
It was interesting seeing Hagen’s relationship with Draco Jackson and then by the end of the book I was completely shocked at everything in regards to that and a few other important relationships. I loved the way the author tied in things with other things so that everything ended up making sense but a lot of people had been hurt along the way.
The end with the big meeting was intense and I was shocked at what was revealed and how Penny took everything and then having her disappear. I was thankful that Hagen never gave up!
I look forward to more books in this series as I want all of the brothers to get their own books!
Man this book was great. Sienna Snow hit it out of the ballpark with this one. Penny is trying to save her fathers company for her brother till he turns 21. No matter how awful her step mom is she digs her heels in. The one person she doesnt want to get help from is the one person that can help her, Hagen. These 2 have great chemistry. Love all the characters in the story. I cant wait to read more from this series
This was a good read i couldn’t put it down i recommend this book and cant wait to read the next one
4 Stars

A second chance novel at it’s untamed finest!
“It will be raw, untamed and dirty. I am as depraved and dark as the world believes. Especially when it comes to sex.”
Master of Sin by Sienna Snow had an emotional yet on the edge of your seat pull throughout the entire novel. With that said, I had a love/hate relationship with this story. Sienna, bless her heart, had me gripping my kindle throughout the intense erotic scenes, but then I wanted to throw my device at certain characters.
I am a mega fan for second chance romances so this story hit that mark out of the park with the hot as hell chemistry between Hagen Lykaios and Persephone “Starlight” Kipos. The dominant, alpha tendencies that Hagen pursued to try and win Starlight’s heart back was damn near heart melting. Sienna did a great job at building her characters up to truly feel those emotions rolling off the pages through those scenes.
“You agreed to play with the devil, Starlight. Now he owns you.”
Even though the lust and chemistry was red hot, there were moments of reconnection that seemed off. Starlight, or Penny (one in the same person), her feistiness and independent behavior in her business role didn’t transfer over to standing her ground toward Hagen. With their past history, I would think she would make him work a little harder to earn her trust back.
There were many moving elements within the novel that kept the storyline flowing. I truly love Sienna’s writing, the stories that she concocts. She always manages to sweep me off my feet, transporting me into another romantical world out of the reality I live in today which showcases what an amazing author she really is. I am eager to see what she has in store for the next book, Master of Games.
This is the first book in the Gods of Vegas series. I enjoy reading and. Snow because she makes the leading ladies intelligent, independent and strong. Penny is all those things. She has had a thing for Hagan since they were young.
When they reunite again she has found time has made him into a strong alpha bad boy. He is equally into Penny and their chemistry in combustible.
This was a great story line which was a entertains colorful as the Vegas strip. Can’t wait for the the other two brothers stories.
I am volunteering to leave a review for this book.
As an avid reader of romance, I am no stranger to Ms. Sienna Snow. She continually publishes top quality books for all of us romance reader’s and with the creation of this series, she has me hooked, yet again. Hagen Lykaios is a powerful Billionaire with a well deserved reputation, however, there is one strong and incredible woman who has always seen through the facade. ‘Penny’ has always been his hearts desire, the one woman that can bring him to his knees. Hagen has never felt he deserves her but when Penny makes her intentions crystal clear for him, the animal inside unleashes and he will claim what has always been his; her heart. Unfortunately, Penny has a mystery to solve as well as a Brother to protect. Hagen will do anything to spare Penny even a moment’s pain but can he open up his heart and share all of himself (even the ugly) and work with her? Or will his need to fix everything without her input push his love away? Penny doesn’t like to be underestimated and she is certainly made of tougher stuff and she refuses to let the man who owns her; body & soul, fight her battles for her.
This is an impressive and impeccable release that will completely enthrall you. I, personally, can not wait for Pierce’s book. I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader’s copy of Master Of Sin in exchange for my honest & voluntarily given opinion and I highly recommend reading this book as well as anything written by Ms. Snow. She truly has talent and creativity in spades.
This BOOK!!!!!! This book was one of those once you pick it up you can’t put it down. The characters Penny and Hagen are fire. The chemistry was off the charts and the story was wonderful. I definitely recommend this book
Wow, what a start to a great new series. Sienna Snow is an amazing writer and this book definitely doesn’t disappoint. Lots of tension, action, drama, twists, turns, mystery, secrets and angst keeps you totally invested in this book from the first page. You will not be able to put this one down. I can’t wait to see what the next book in the series brings!!
Before you start be warned that the heat level of this book is OFF THE CHARTS! I found myself having to drink cold water and take breaks to calm the heat! Hagen and Penny’s chemistry could be felt with every interaction they shared! From the second he is mentioned you can feel the need Penny has for him and him for her! Their attraction is undeniable but for love to bloom their needs to be more and Hagen isn’t sure he can be that more!
What I love about this story is that it isn’t straight erotic romance! There’s a deeper story there and this book is just the begging of a series that I know will continue to blow me away!! I can’t wait to see what Sienna has up her sleeve for these characters!
