I am both heaven and hell. Sin and pleasure.The Devil she never sees coming… on this stage holds me captive against my will. She’s decadence personified—a corruptible angel that I want to own.
I’m hard for her.
Starving for a taste.
Eager for her to feel me.
This little girl has no idea of the danger she’s in within my presence. How I will make her crave the darkness I control.
How I will make her…Mine.
*The Beautiful Sinner Series are all interconnected standalones full of suspense and romance and an OTT alpha willing to burn the world to the ground for the woman he loves. It’s sexy and has an edge of darkness that will leave you breathless.*

I’ve read a few books by this author that I have enjoyed and when I read the synopsis for this one it sounded like a book that would be right up my alley. And I ended up really enjoying it. It was a surprisingly sweet book considering the hero was an anti-hero that enjoyed killing people. (lol)
I thought the writing was great. The pace was a little slow going in parts and it is a fairly long book (@ 4 hour’s reading time). The plot was engaging though, and I never felt bored or the need to skim. As I mentioned above, this was actually a sweet story romance wise. It was very insta-love. No pushing away. No OW drama. The OM drama was caused by one of the villains. It was a slow burn in the sex department as well. No sexual activity until 50%, and no intercourse until late in the book. <-- I was a bit disappointed in that aspect. I was expecting a little more heat and kink. There was a great cast of secondary characters. I have NO idea if some of them already have books of their own (someone please tell me in Luna has a book already??!!), or if they will have books at some point, but a lot of them really intrigued me. Both the main characters here likable. Malcolm was a perfect book boyfriend for me. Super sweet and alpha with the heroine, and a badass if you crossed him. All in from the minute he sees the heroine. Not a manwhore (celibate 8 months). I loved him. London was also a great heroine (a virgin...sigh) but at least her virginity made sense in the story's context. She was pretty much all in from the first meeting with Malcolm. Last, it was all wrapped up in two very sweet epilogues. What more can you as for?
Very interesting intense full of suspense storyline. Absolutely love the characters in this one. This book will suck you in and take you on quite the ride. Steamy intriguing storyline with just the right amount of sexiness and suspense. Malcolm is the king of Chicago. He knows e everything that goes on in his city. London Foster is struck in the worst of situations. Until Malcolm comes to the rescue. But will she survive him and who he is? Or will her so called family take what is left of her? London and Malcolm have a very fast moving relationship but it is not a bad thing. It was enjoyable to watch Malcolm come undone with her and have emotions and feelings.You can’t ask for anything more from this book. It gives you everything from the very beginning to the end. Highly recommend reading this one. Will draw you in and not let you go.
This book is over the top HOT!!! Malcolm is the ultimate bad boy that sees what he wants and GETS what he wants. London is exactly what he wants even though she is a naive good girl. There are so many hot J/P moments and I loved every minute of it.
Malcolm is a dark, tough and ruthless alpha, who gets whatever he wants, and from the moment he meets London he is so sweet to her, and they have a slow burn instant love going on. This is a well written story with an engaging plot and characters, as well as being intense and with twists, drama, love, and is an all round poignant romance story. I was intrigued and hooked throughout this addictive page turner and I look forward to reading more form this talented author, whose work I recommend for all.
Loved it!
Fabulous instalove with no relationship angst. All drama comes from stuff outside the relationship. Hero was super possessive and caring and heroine innocent and on the sweet side without being annoying, lol. Little bit of a slow burn. Will definitely be reading the other books in the series!

I was never a fan of insta love they always left something to be desired. Either you didn’t feel the chemistry or the story had holes.
Elena M. Reyes has 100% changed my mind. I’m addicted to her work.
Malcolm Asher is everything you want in a protective Alpha Anti-hero. This man is the 3 B’s brilliant brutal and beautiful. The lengths he goes to to protect and keep what’s his *insert sigh and fluttering heart*
London Foster is beautiful and innocent, but she’s not naive and dear lord that had me fist pumping the air
*KU Read
* First time reading author
Sin is the first time reading Elena M. Reyes and I enjoyed it very much. Sin is a mafia romance that drags you in right from the beginning and doesn’t let you go until the last word. Malcolm Asher is a hardcore alpha male that makes everything worth reading. London Foster is a sweet girl that just wants to get away from her horrible family. But once these two cross paths there is no stopping Malcolm from having her.
I couldn’t put Sin down.
Loved it, thank you!
This is exactly how I like my mafia books!! This one is brutal but real at the same time. I mean there’s a reason why they call Malcolm the devil. He has the whole town at his fingers and knows who he can trust and who he can’t. When he wants a moment to himself, he goes to the club and gets a dance. When a new dancer comes in, he can’t help but to notice her innocence and her beautiful looks. He is entranced with her. He knows she is exactly what he needs in his life. London, has had it rough. She lost her mom and had to deal with the wrath and evilness of her dad and brother. They knew the truth and hid secrets from her for years until now. She dealt with the abuse and the name calling but now her life is about to change. Meeting Malcolm and really getting to know him better, changed her life for the better. She doesn’t have the fear she once had and now has confidence in herself to do and wear anything she wants to. These two together work together remarkably well and will rule very well. They have their sexy times and sweet moments between them. This book is rough and real, its what a true mafia book would be like. I was hooked from page one and couldn’t put down for anything. I loved every minute of this book!!! Can’t wait to read the next book to see what happens next!!!!
Sin by Elena M. Reyes is a suspenseful, steamy Mafia read. It focuses on main characters London and Malcolm. Malcolm is ruthless, he works for the underground and life works by his rules. He owns Chicago and he doesn’t take no for an answer. It isn’t until one night when he sets his eyes upon London that everything changes. She is blue eyes innocence and someone that Malcolm wants to corrupt.
London hasn’t had an easy life, although innocent she is working a pole at a sex club to save money to escape her creepy step-father and brother. Although she is innocent, she has to have some grit about her not only to survive her family life but also to survive Malcolm who is dominating, dark and seemingly quite obsessed with London.
There are a lot of steamy scenes within this book between the two characters and they certainly have a lot of chemistry. It is dark and edgy as a mafia romance should be, with just enough twist and turns to keep you intrigued. The writer has a way of making the story flow together seamlessly without giving too much away whilst you watch these characters relationship develop.
If you like things a little dark, a lot steamy with a good alpha male, then this is the one for you!
ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review
More of my reviews can be found on my blog: https://thehotmesslibrary.blogspot.com
I have no idea why I’ve waited so long to read this book/read anything from this author…(Clearly I’m an idiot) because Sin was SO SO SO GOOD! It had all the things I love about a good mafia read… all the alpha goodness, a heroine that will have you rooting for her, an undeniable connection & chemistry, and all the twists and turns that had me staying up way past my bedtime because I needed to know what would happen next! I could not put this book down!
Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go binge read everything Elena M. Reyes..

Well worth reading. It showed the two sides of man and loyality of families.
Great book, can’t wait until the in the series.
Well passed, fairly naughty, decent characters.
Great story. There is some violence so be warned.
Sin by Elena M. Reyes is the First book in the Beautiful Sinner Series. This is the story of London and Malcolm. London (or Twirl) mother past a few years ago leaving her with her ‘father and brother’ who are very abusive. Trying to earn money to get away from them without them knowing she goes to a strip club to work. Malcolm happens to be her first real customer and he shuts things down quickly that she won’t be doing any such then for anyone else but him. Malcolm is a mob boss who is staking his claim on her. But he has to take down her awful family first it seems as he doesn’t act quickly on his desire for her…he takes things slow.
Hot Alpha Read.
This is a powerful story about Malcolm (nothing happens in Chicago without his knowledge!) and London (and innocent in his corrupt world!) The pairing of these two was brilliant. The chemistry between these two was great and so was the storyline. The pages just kept turning sometimes it seemed on their own. Malcolm decides that he will keep London all to himself. Will he be able to? Will London accept Malcolm for what he truly is??
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
PSA: anyone related to me, please cease and desist from reading this review! Yes *nods*, that includes you, Auntie Annette. Go on now, shoo…
Is the coast clear?
Honestly, there are just some things that your family do not need to know! *snorts*
I’ve kinda built this up into a big thing now, haven’t I? *shrugs* Well, here goes.
Welcome to the dark side…
It’s a not-so-secret secret that I like my BBFs a little bit twisted. I’m not talking bad, I’m talking baaaad *smirks* The ones that give you the shivers, goosebumps (a little bit of fear adds to the thrill, don’t you know *winks*), and have you questioning your sanity – with mutterings to yourself of “I am one sick puppy!” Well, I was a goner for Malcolm Asher from the off. With the flick of his knife, my ovaries gave themselves up in supplication. Now there’s an image… *smirks*
For those that don’t know, I’m from Scotland and a malky is a weapon. It’s rhyming slang – Malky Fraser = razor. And, Malcolm is most definitely a deadly weapon. Woe betide anyone who tries to cross Oor Malky (couldn’t help myself). Malcolm does not suffer fools gladly. He’s a man with a code; a questionable code, but a code, nonetheless.
Said code is going to be implemented full force with the arrival of one woman in his life…
Wowzer! (I’m trying to be polite) Sin is a balls to the wall, electric, suspense-laden, thriller ride of a read. Oh, and did I say hot, sexy and little bit *pinches fingers* (read – a lot) dirty? No?!! Oops, my bad *snorts*
It’s the type of read that will have you on the edge of your seat one minute and squirming *winks* the next. Le sigh… I’m TMI’ing again, aren’t I?!
Along with Craving Sugar, Sin is going to be added to my all-time favourite books by this author.
Malcolm is sinfully delicious – what more do you need to know?
** spoiler alert ** Malcolm rules with an iron fist. London just wants to escape. Instantly they are drawn together. Will London let down her walls? Will Malcolm be able to prove she is safe with him?
This was a steamy read with a little bit of darkness which I loved. I loved how Malcolm is this dark man, but when it comes to London he is soft and able to show another side of himself. For everything she went through, London proved to be rather strong and I loved seeing Malcolm bring her out of her shell. Great read!
As dangerous as he is sweet
—>>> Review Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars – “I take care of what’s mine. End of.” Malcolm Asher rules Chicago and beyond as the banking empire’s kingpin and likes to keep his fingers in all the pies to make sure everything is running smoothly. Blowing off steam after a recent handling of a “situation”, he visits his favorite exclusive club and has “Twirl” dancing for him. Intrigued and instantly hooked on this woman, a thorough look into her background opens up a Pandora’s box of questions, turning him into her very own dark knight to rescue her, his untouchable Twirl.
Malcolm’s treatment of her is sweet and seductive, with a close-to-edge-of-combustion-level of reverence. As dangerous as he is sweet, Malcolm stops at nothing within his power to protect London and to make her all his.
