Touching Sin is absolutely amazeballs!! I was instantly enthralled with Mia and the history behind her behavior. She seems very timid at first and then really starts to let loose and come out of her shell. Jake steps in as her savior to an extent. There is so much tension between them. This book was definitely a page turner for me. I didn’t want to put it down once I started it. There are some twists and turns that you won’t be expecting, which made this book even better in my opinion. I didn’t want their story to end!!
This was a phenomenal read of drama, danger, mystery, and lies all wrapped up in romance. I loved every second of this book and Saman had me on the edge of my seat for the entire book. I can’t wait to see where the next two books lead us!
Secrets and Lies and Love, oh my! What’s more Las Vegas than that?!
Touching Sin has definitely been added to my Favorite Reads list! Mia and Jake’s story was amazing! It was beautiful and wonderful and inspiring. And suspenseful! I can usually figure out what the twist in a book is going to be but this one had me guessing right up until the end! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time!
We meet Mia as a woman who was beaten and broken down by the ones who were supposed to build her up and cherish her. She has left her old life behind to find something new, something safe. We watch as she fights for herself, and sometimes fights with herself, for this new life she desperately needs. A beautiful new life that she deserves.
Then there’s Jake, the incredibly patient, handsome man who can’t seem to get Mia off his mind after finding her on the side of the road. Even after she ghosts him! Once he sees her again, he is determined to help her, to protect her. No matter what. We watch as Jake works and waits patiently to earn Mia’s trust, in order to earn what he’s really after, her heart.
This one beautiful story is that I highly recommend ❤️

This was such a great read. We have Mia who is running from a situation and she ends up in Vegas receiving help from unexpected people. She is very wary of everyone and their intentions and is also reluctant to accept any help. Jake is a low key alpha he is such a sweetheart but will fight for what is his and he eventually sees Mia as his. This story is full of push and pull, action, and intense moments but also chemistry romance and heated moments. It’s definitely a recommended read for me.

I loved Mia as a main character but all the men really annoyed me, lol. The story took really long to progress (like first relationship happenings >50%) and at some point it just felt repetitive. Jake kept doing things he knew would upset Mia, too, and I couldn't stand that. Still a cute enough read but at the end I was just a bit bored. If you're more into Mafia/Big-City-Drama than I am, then this could work for you! I'll stick with my small-town romances for now 😉

I got an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
I cannot get enough of this book. It is so amazing, with all the tension, suspense, drama and the perfect characters that inspires you to become hardworking. Maddox is my favourite of them all, including Jake and the amazingly strong and fierce Mia , and I can't believe he is getting his own spin off book!

~WRITING - PLOT - PACE~This book was just...WOW. It was so good. The writing was fantastic. It was well paced, and I never felt the need to skim. The plot was super engaging. It was sweet. It was romantic. It was heartbreaking. Last, it was all wrapped up in a lovely three-years-later epilogue.
~HERO~
JAKE...OMG people...Jake was...EVERYTHING. He was sweet. He was patient. He was alpha. He was sexy. He was loyal, and he was ALL about Mia/Fiona right from the start. Gaah...Jake definitely has a top spot on my "best book boyfriends" list.
~HEROINE~
MIA/FIONA...I loved Mia/Fiona just a WEE bit less than Jake. Mostly because Jake was all that and a bag of chips and I wanted Mia/Fiona to get with the program sooner. That said, I understood her reluctance given her horrible past. Plus, she doesn't really push away as such. I also loved how strong she was. How feisty. She had a huge heart and loved her for it.
~SECONDARY CHARACTERS~
This book really wasn't heavy on secondary characters. The main one being Maddox and OMG, I SO need his book ASAP. A 6´6 former military sweetie. Yes, please! I loved how kind he was with Mia/Fiona and how he helped her out. As well as playing the little matchmaker with her and Jake. I was also super intrigued by Gavin. So I request a book for him as well! ;D
~HEAT LEVEL~
LOW. This was what I would call a slow burn type of romance. No sexy times until 70% into the book. I am usually not a fan of slow burns, but it worked very well in this case. This couple also had very good on-page chemistry, which made the slow burn tolerable.
~ANGST LEVEL - SEXUAL HISTORIES~
LOW to MEDIUM. "I" didn't find this one particularly angsty. The heroine is guarded, so there is a little pushing away, but Jake never backs down. Other than that, they remain a solid couple throughout. Neither are virgins. The hero didn't come across as a manwhore. In fact, it is mentioned he hadn't slept with anyone since he moved to Vegas. The heroine is still technically married, but I didn't consider this cheating because her husband is NOT a nice guy at all. There was a TINY (and might I add pointless) bit of OW drama. Just a snarky coworker that had the hots for the hero. And, of course, there was some OM drama in the form of the heroine's husband.
~IN THE END~
Did I enjoy it? Yes.
Was it perfect? Pretty much.
Would I recommend it? In a heartbeat!
Who would enjoy this book? Pretty much everyone. Readers who don't like a lot of drama or angst. Readers who love a sweet story. Readers who love loyal heroes and damaged but strong heroines. I also think this would be considered a safe read for those that care about that type of thing.
