He may be a Sinner but can be be her Saint
*** 4 1/2 Stars ***
Sinner is the first book in the Criminal Passions series (for some reason it is titles as Book 2?). It is the story of Markus and Viv. He is a thief who steals from other thieves and criminals. He is close to ending his career before he gets caught but there is just one last big score that he needs to do before he has enough so he can stop and settle down, hopefully to have a wife and kids.
Viv is a traveling sales rep for a pharmaceutical company. She is tired on her life on the road and would like to settle into one place and do something different and exciting.
Markus and Viv meet in a bar and there is an instant connection and a lot of electricity in the air between them. They have one wild night of passion but then he disappears and she wakes up alone. He is pulling off his last big job. But things don’t go quite as planned, well they do but then they don’t. It seems Markus may have stolen from someone who wants it back and is going to do what it takes to get it. Markus and Viv end up in each others lives more as she becomes a pawn when she is kidnapped. What will Markus do to get her back?
This is a a fun and really entertaining story. It is a nicely wove mix of drama, mystery, suspense, romance, action, danger and of course some steamy and dirty sexy chemistry. I liked the both Markus and Viv as they were both wanting to make a change and are about to be forced into it but in a way that neither would have dreamed.
Markus is a thief but he steals from criminals instead of innocent people. He knows he needs to stop soon but he wants to make sure he has enough to change career paths and have the family he always wanted. Viv is tired of being on the road making sales for the drug company she works for. She feels restless and longs for something new. She meets Markus in a bar not far from her home and they have an instant connection. However he disappears the next morning. Will she give him a second chance at her heart? Will he tell her his secret?
This is a great story that will captivate you from beginning to end. Its a nonstop action ride with a surprising twist you’ll never see coming. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Fate 4 ½ stars – Markus and Viv couldn’t have been more different. Plus, with Viv’s family background, Markus should have been a definite no. Markus really liked Viv but decided to walk away because he didn’t want Viv to be embroiled in his dangerous life. But fate can’t be deterred. Time and time again, it brought them closer. It is a well-executed love story between a career thief and a pharma sales rep. It has the drama, romance, angst, action, steamy sex and suspense.
