Wow! This story has so many twists and turns that keep you guessing till the very end!
William hates upper class people but the life he has carved out for himself means he has no choice but to mingle with them. With money dwindling, he and his business partner, Charles, decide to start a new kind of club called Sins to make ends meet. But everywhere he turns William keeps running into the same woman, Ivy. She captures his attention like no they woman had but there is more to her than meets the eye.
Murder, mystery, secrets and of course sex are the main themes in this story and it is a fantastic read! I could not put this down and was surprised till the very end!
Soraya has done it again. An amazing story set in the 1900’s in the Chicago Loop. I never thought I would like a historical book but this one was something else in the best way. William was an orphan in a bad situation. He soon meets Charles who ends up being his mentor and later business partner. Charles is wealthy and with William he runs his underground fight club, gambling, and a hardcore sex club. William is a fighter in more ways than one and doesn’t lack the women’s attention. Once William crosses path with Ivy, I couldn’t get enough. Their story gave me all the emotions between the lies, the twists and the passion. It was a great story of two people who really belong together.
William and Ivy’s story is filled with steam, danger, misgivings, and ultimately they come together in a way that you know is fitting for them. This was a delicious story with lots of twists and turns and a plot line that will grab you from the first page and keep you enthralled to the very end. Excellent story!
Quite the captivating tale (in more ways than one ). Set back in the days of earls and ladies, and where your status and stations matter, this is a raw and riveting story between a beast of a man, William, who will do what it takes to get money & power, and Ivy, who will do what it takes to survive. Their relationship from the start was antagonistic and combustible. Erotic and sexy. Built on secrets & lies, but underneath there was so much more. Was indeed quite captivated by this!
I am not a big fan of historical romance books but this one changed my mind!!! William is a fighter from the streets and Ivy is a wealth woman.Their story has a lot of unexpected turns that you don’t expect! I loved their journey together!!!!
Two people who belong to be together.
This was a great story of William and Ivy and their romance. They were hot together but they have their ups and downs as they work their way to a happily ever after.

William kidnaps Ivy to try to get the money back from her father. William and Ivy have a sexual romance going on. I really enjoyed reading this style of writing. There are twists and turns that keep you turning pages to find out what happens next.
This is a departure from what I’m use to by Soraya Naomi but I loved it no less. William and Ivy’s story took me a rollercoaster of ups and downs and twists lurking around every corner and I enjoyed every minute of it. The story it self kept me engulfed the entire time and I really really enjoyed it.
Excellent book from start to end. Soraya is such a brilliant author who creates stories that makes you want more. Recommend this book to readers who likes great and exciting story.
Not all love stories come together with hearts flowers and pretty bows. Ms. Naomi shows the sinfully savage, painfully haunting road love can take to get to its deliciously ever after.
An intricately weaved web storyline of deception, gambling, fight clubs, underground sex clubs, and mob activities, where the past catches up with the present. All set in a time where only the elite paid the high price to play- sometimes with their lives.
When William meets Ivy, the game begins- what game you ask?
Thats an excellent question…
For the love of all things dark and sinfully hot! This story grabbed me by the heart and head so quickly I could and would not put the Kindle down until I saw William and Ivys emotionally wicked journey through to the end!
I had such a wide variety of feels, PHEW! Folks, this romance is not for the fainthearted, but oh my, the road to sanity ( I think ) is WORTH every frustrating sniffle, heatwave, smile, and grimace.
Soraya Naomi has rocked my world- once again, with her stellar skills!
If you like the dark bloodlust, sinfully sexy romances, this is a MUST READ for you!

This book is a dark kidnapping romance that twists and turns until the very end. The characters are unique and the storyline is amazing. I’m excited to see what’s next from this amazing author.
I don’t know if I can put into words what I just went through reading this book. It asked me to pay an emotional toll I wasn’t in the least bit prepared for. The story of William and Ivy is brutal and savage while also being beautiful and heartbreaking. I wasn’t expecting to be in tears by the end of their story, but that’s exactly where I ended up. For anyone who hasn’t read it yet, take note: keep the tissues handy, you’re going to need them. There’s not much I can say about the story itself that won’t give away all of the best secrets it’s keeping. All I can say is that this book tore my heart to shreds in the end, and I loved every second of it.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author through Give Me Books Promotions.

I loved this book! At first I wasn’t sure since it takes place in the 1900’s, but it was phenomenal. So many emotions in this story. William had a horrible childhood growing up in an orphanage and lived a brutal life. Ivy, has also lived a barren and destitute life. But William is fortunate to meet Charles who adopts him and changes his life forever. Ivy is not that lucky until she meets William. It is a love story so full of ups and downs. I was brought to tears towards the end. It is an astounding story line. I highly recommend you read this book today!
Sins by Soraya Naomi is the story of William and Ivy.
William was a orphan that was taken in by Charles Lindon. William has now become a boxer but in addition worked with William and his business. They get the ideal to open an exclusive hardcore sex club. Ivy is a society women who ends up being someone that William will need to help advance his dream. But they sparks fly between them and of course they have sparky words between them.
This book is set in the 1900’s in Chicago.
Enjoyed their story.
Soraya went back in time where it all started for the Chicago Syndicate. Back to the original club on The Loop of Chicago. Back to the times of speakeasies and all the secrets and taboos hidden behind those closed doors. While I’m not a big historical romance reader, it was hard for me not to become entranced by William and Ivy’s story. A story too intriguing and alluring with suspense and all its twists and turns, you can’t help but enjoy the ride.
Sins is a different read than other of Soraya’s books but it’s still uniquely her. While the subject is a little darker and definitely made these characters suffer more, she does stay true with the brooding, possessive and protective heroes who dont know how to handle themselves when they’ve met their match. And that’s exactly what Ivy is for William. She takes no bs from no one least of all William. You can’t help but have a love/ hate relationship with these characters. They’re both flawed in so many ways and make so many mistakes along the way, but together, they couldn’t be more perfect.
My emotions were all over the place with this story. One minute I’m at the edge if my seat and the next I want to throttle my kindle across the room. Amazingly written in 3rd person pov and such an epic HEA, Sins is not one you want to miss out on.
This is an historical romance, set in 1900.
“William Kade titillated most women and was rejected by none. He was sex and sin embodied.”
~William~
I’m not too entirely sure about William in most of this book. He’s very dominant, controlling at times, and very possessive of Ivy. William is a powerhouse in this book. He takes no prisoners in business, war or love.
“He had never felt desire like this. Inescapable. Explosive. Hazardous.”
~William~
They chemistry is off the charts from the first meeting. They but heads, but they have a connection as well. Their relationship is very physical from almost the word go, but there are softer parts of both Ivy and William in here as well. Not many from William. He wouldn’t be who he is otherwise.
“If the key to a good love story was a tragic ending, then theirs was a great love story.”
~Ivy~
They have so much adversity in their story. Not simple by any means. They have a lot of conflict in their personal relationship and the same in their business ones as well. They have secrets from each other and conflict from the outside world. Separate they’re unbeatable, together they’re unconcurable. Can not be beat. Thing is they have to stay together first.
“Their mistakes brought them together, and their sins tied them together.”
~Ivy~
This does have some dark elements that may make some uncomfortable, but it’s absolutely worth reading. It’s been a while since I’ve read historical, and I’m glad I broke it with this one. I’m hoping Silk gets his own book. He’s a definite favorite of mine.
Historical had never been my genre of choice but this book was so good. Loved reading about William and Ivy. This book was so steamy, dark and suspenseful. Loved it and I recommend it.
