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? I went anyway.

Penny and Hagen were steaming up the pages in this book. this is the first book in the Gods of Vegas series. I am looking forward to reading more. Old family secrets are revealed to the couple. A great read that I recommend.
Master of Sin is the first book in Gods of Vegas and is the first book that I have read by this author.
This is Hagan Lykaios & Penny “Persephone Starlight” Kipos story. Penny is trying to save hers and her half-brother Adrian’s inheritance from her step-mother and Adrian’s mother.
I love that Hagan has 2 brothers so I am hoping the next book will be either Zack or Pierce’s story! Hagan’s brothers Zack (Zacharias) who is ‘sensitive and ruthless’ & Pierce who is the most ‘volatile & the nosiest’ of the 3 of them.
Can I be corrupted by Hagan? Please? Okay so I know that will never happen. I really enjoyed reading Master of Sin and can’t wait to read more in this series and by this author.
I absolutely love this book! The storyline is unique and the characters are amazing. I can’t wait for book 2
What a read from Sienna Snow! Master of Sin pulls you in from the very beginning with the characters, the story line, and the off the charts chemistry between Penny and Hagen. Not only does this book have very sexy encounters with the relationship of Penny and Hagen but the twists and turns and surprising developments page after page keep you intrigued until the very end. I loved being caught off guard with where the story was going and seeing strong characters stand up for themselves. Can’t wait for more in this series.
This was amazing Persephone was a force in herself what a hard determined woman, I loved her strength and standing up for herself even if it was against Hagans protection. These characters just pop off the page and have your heart racing being childhood friends and meeting up now awww they were so hot and intense with the best chemistry ever and let me tell you they are not shy one bit. Wonderful writing and the story was so good I couldnt put it down with all the twists and dangers and excitement.
Great new story.
This story is about two people who have had feelings for each other for awhile but for one reason or another have had to stay away from each other.
Circumstances throw them together and feelings explode. Hot times, corporate deceit, and mysterious owners make for a story you can’t put down.
Ladies, you have to meet the Master of Sin Hagen Lykaios and let him corrupt you!!! He’s Sinfully HOT, Bossy, Dangerous, and a total Bada$$. Penny being a smart, sassy, independent, kick ass woman knows that she should stay away from Hagan, but that one touch is all it takes to throw that out the window. One touch from the Master of Sin himself is all it takes to bring any bad girl to her knees!
These two set the pages on FIRE!! Their story has so much hotness, secrets, and family drama that takes you on a wild ride. This is a really great read and a page turner from a new to me author. Can’t wait to read more from this great author!!!
Happy Reading Everyone!!!
Great read!
This author is new to me and this is my first read by her. I’m excited to say I can’t wait to read more from her. This book was more than what I expected. It is gripping, full of secrets and extremely sexy.
Penny and Hagen are great characters, she’s a strong independent woman and he’s a bossy dominating wonderful man. Their chemistry is off the charts explosive. We meet all the Lykaios brothers each different from the others. I can’t wait to get their stories, I’m already in love with them. Great read!

*Review by Michelle
As usual with Sienna Snow books, Master of Sin features elaborate, over the top characters with a lot of sexual tension and drama. And I loved every minute of it. Penny and Hagen are childhood acquaintances who both have been knocked down by life. When they come together to help each other, the attraction between them alights and sets everything a blaze. Their relationship causes problems but beneath their burning attraction is a deep and abiding love. Master of Sin sets up the other books in the series which I sure will be following Hagen’s brothers and I can’t wait to read them.
Persephone “Penny” Kipos has a stepmother to rival Cinderella’s. The author created a character that could have easily overtaken the story but we have a young woman who will not allow that to happen. Hagen Lykaios likes to be cautious. In business he plays hard but plays harder when it comes to his personal life.
Some may consider Penny’s personal choice to be a current trope but after this season’s Bachelor, isn’t it just that. Or maybe it’s part cultural. But in the end it is her choice. She had a gift that she wanted the right person to unwrap. Age shouldn’t even be an issue. Our author has made her a strong businesswoman who also cares about family. Sometimes family duty overshadows any type of personal life. But then Hagen reenters her world and watch out once the match is struck. He loves to tease Penny, which in turn teases us. It was a great way to build anticipation.
This story’s not all seriousness. There are a couple of scenes where you might get a chuckle. Plus you can expect plenty of steam. So if you love to see heat explode between two people, who just happen to have a long history, you may be wowed. We also have some suspense going on and don’t we always want to see the bad guy get it in the end – but that’s for you to find out. In the end it’s all about our couple. Well, that and I have to know if we’re going to see more of the Lykaios brothers.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
WOW! Let me start by saying I love the characters Sienna Snow writes. I got turned on to her books because she doesn’t write the hopeless, broke woman. In Master of Sin Persephone “Penny” Kipos is a strong independent woman with more secrets than the only man she has set her sights on for as long as she can remember. Thankfully Hagan has been lusting after her for as long. Explosive chemistry between the two when they reunite after years of not seeing each other. Penny will continue to surprise you with her background story and her willingness to be under the Master of Sin. So happy that Hagen has two brothers to continue this story with. Please let Pierce and Amelia be next.
Sexy and steamy. Such a great story.
I enjoyed this book so much! I thought the story line was engaging and the characters well developed and likable. Hagan was 100% alpha-licious bad boy and was smart, strong and successful. These two friends have been sitting on a powder keg of bottled up feeling for years. It was so easy to feel the attraction and chemistry between Hagan and Penny. Steamy, smoky and intense, I loved how their long simmering emotions just needed that last little push to finally set free their hearts and passions. The story itself offers plenty of drama, secrets, powerful emotions, intrigue, scorching scenes and a completely swoon worthy romance. I just loved it and can’t wait for the next book in this series!
This was a fascinating read with so many layers to the story and characters that keep you invested from start to finish. I wasn’t expecting to be so invested in them. They have a history that adds another dimension to the story. Hagen was a great male lead but Penny was my favourite, I prefer to read about strong women and she ticked all the boxes. There was a little bit of everything lies,deceit, murder and so many secrets. Looking forward to getting to know more of the secondary characters in future books.

Penny is trying to keep the company her father started, his dream, from being sold out from under her and her brother. Her step-mother is so far succeeding in taking over and now is trying to push Penny out. When Penny goes to Hagen, the man she has been in love with for forever, he offers to help her out, but for a price of course. What Penny doesn’t know is that Hagen has been watching her just as long as she was watching him, and now being given the opportunity to make her his, he will stop at nothing… even if he knows he is no good for her.
This was my first read by Sienna Snow, and I found that I really did enjoy it even though this was nowhere as dark as I thought it would be. This is all about the bigwigs in Vegas and how they run things. Giving us drama, danger, betrayal, hot naughty bits and so much more, this book does keep you entertained and waiting to see what happens next. I give this 4 stars.
Master of Sin is a terrific start to Sienna Snow’s new Gods of Vegas series. I loved the scorching chemistry between Hagen and Penny. Hagen and Penny have circled each other for years, craving each other from a distance, having been kept apart romantically by their respective parental figures. I loved how Hagen, even though he thinks he’s no good for Penny, can’t help himself when finally given the opportunity to act on his feelings. Likewise, Penny, who’s been forced to be on her best behavior at all times, relishes the chance to finally let loose and indulge in Hagen’s sinful excess.
I appreciated that they each gave in completely, not really holding back despite thinking it might be just scratching an itch. Plus they’re each such strong characters. Hagen’s protective and dominant, but also completely head over for Penny. Penny is smart and strong, definitely not a pushover, and her secrets make her a true match for Hagen.
There’s corporate intrigue surrounding Penny’s family company, a mysterious death, Hagen’s mob enforcer background, and enough family and secondary characters to make me want to diagram it.
My one criticism: I hated Penny’s middle name, Starlight, for the first half of the book, indeed I agreed when one of Hagen’s brother’s said it sounded like a stripper, but by the end it was rather endearing that Hagen got to capture his Starlight.
Starlight is a take no prisoners, one surprise after another leading lady! She is witty, intelligent and passionate about her work and her family. Having dedicated her life to caring for her brother and pursuing her love of botany and science – not to mention the full-time job of thwarting her step mother’s claws, life (maybe with a little help from her stepmom) suddenly presents her with an opportunity to let go and live for once. As much as she enjoys control the idea of temporarily pursuing her fantasy has its draws.
Hagen is a roasted marshmallow when it comes to Starlight. He is the enforcer the right hand that does what is necessary. The world sees his darkness, fears him. But for his Starlight? That is stripped away and he is nothing but sweet melty goo .
These two are nuclear together!
They grew up together and like magnets, there has always been a strong attraction between them but it was something they could not pursue. After close to a decade of sexual tension that has quietly smoldered between them they finally take the leap, even if it is just to get a taste of the forbidden.
This was an entertaining and romantic read that has all those feel-good moments
The characters are easy to connect with and have a charisma that draws in the reader
The story line flows smoothly and entertains. A lot of romance touched with tidbits of suspense and the occasional glimpse of future ‘OMG’ moments kept me engaged from the opening to the closing.
I am excited to see where the author takes us next
Master of Sin is the first book I have read by this author and I loved it. I loved Penny and Hagen. They had amazing chemistry and scorching sexy scenes. They were perfect for each other. Loved loved them together! Looking forward to reading more in this series!
Hagen and Penny’s story was delightfully steamy and entertaining. Corporate games and greedy machinations kept the plot going as the two explored the feelings erupting between them. I’m anxious to read the next book in this series.
Sienna Snow can be counted on to give readers a complex, sexy, well-written story every time. Master of Sin is exciting, intense and compelling.
I love Hagen and Penny. They’re damaged and have not had the easy lives their wealthy families could have given them. They’ve wanted each other for nearly a decade but for a lot of reasons they’ve kept their distance. Their age difference is a huge part of why they’ve never gotten together earlier. To Hagen, it’s still an issue. To Penny, not so much now that she’s all grown up, successful at business and independent. They share a committed work ethic and heads for creating wealth that contributes a lot to why they’re such a good match. Their mutual attraction is off the charts.
I love that Snow’s heroines are a mix of prim good girls and sexual adventurers. Penny may be inexperienced but she’s as into their intimate relationship as Hagen is.
There’s so much family crap for these two which gives them a deep understanding of each other but could as easily tear them apart. It all makes for an intense story. I love that level of suspense with my romances.
Snow remains a favorite because I can count on loving every story she writes.
