Title: Sinful Intent
Series: ALFA PI Book #1
Release Date: July 14th
Author: Chelle Bliss
The moment I saw her, I wanted her.
I tried to resist her, but Race had other plans.
One night, in a moment of weakness, I gave in to my desires.
I still had a job to do before her world collapsed.
If I failed at finding the person behind the threats, I could lose her forever.
Temptation can be dangerous.
I was blessed enough to receive an ARC of Sinful Intent. I couldn't wait to get my hands on the book. Now that I've read it, I'm at a crossroads. I love all of Bliss' books but I can't say that I love this one. My main reason for not loving the book is Race. I did not care for her character. There are some characters that can pull off bitchyness with no problem. Race isn't one of those. She comes off as if she's entitled. Reading about her just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Race has worked hard to achieve what she has. She is at the top in a male dominated profession. She just has no people skills. Over time, though, she changed. She started to become more likeable. I think Morgan had a lot to do with it. Towards the end of the book, I felt that we finally got to see who the true Race is.
Morgan is a great character. He fits in with the Gallo clan perfectly. He has an Alpha male side but also has a slight vulnerability that makes him appealing. It was nice to see another side of the Gallo clan. Morgan came to Florida looking for what was missing in his life. He was recently discharged from the service and is at the crossroads in life. His mom pushes him to see his Gallo side of the family. For some reason Morgan feels kind of like an outsider with them. It's understandable because the Gallos can be a demanding presence.
Bliss is a great writer and I enjoy reading her books. The contain alpha males that any female could love and storylines that are entertaining. I felt that this book lacked the quality that the previous series had. I love spinoffs but the characters have to be able to stand on their own. The Gallos seem to be the standouts in this book, rather than background characters. There are funny parts. Like James not knowing how to lock doors. ;)
Should you read this book? If you are a fan of the Men of Inked series, you'll want this book to find d out what happened to your favorite characters. I think new to this author readers will enjoy this book too.
3.5 out of 5 Stars
Youre really purdy, she slurred with a lopsided grin, running her finger down my cheek.
Thats it. No more drinks for you, I said, dragging the glass away from her.
No! Ive only had three, she said as she lurched forward, pulling the drink out of my hands.
Im enjoying myself. Ive had a bitch of a week and I deserve to let loose a little.
I held my hands up. Youve actually had four martinis, but anything you want, princess.
Her eyes grew into little slits. Im not your princess, she slurred, sounding completely adorable.
My cheeks hurt as I smiled. Im going to take you home now. I think you need to sleep it off.
Last time I checked, she said before hiccupping, youre not my daddy. A slow smile crept across her face. She scooted closer and whispered, Unless thats your thing. She tried to wink, but both eyes closed, one after the other.
I leaned into her space, a breath away from her lips. Its not my thing, but Im happy to act out your fantasies. But I dont think you want to cross that line. Once you go there, theres no going back. I stared into her eyes.
Oooh. Her eyes grew wide. Is that supposed to scare me, Mr. DeLuca?
I didnt move. Im just giving you fair warning. Youve had a few drinks, and I wont take advantage of that. Im just telling you how it is.
Youre full of yourself. Her warm, sweet breath caressed my lips as she spoke.
All I wanted to do was reach out, pull her face to mine, and kiss her full, beautiful lips. Im sure of myself and confident in my abilities, yes. Thats entirely different than being full of myself. I licked my lips, testing her.
Her eyes dropped to my mouth as her lips parted.
Another? Lisa interrupted.
Were good, I replied, keeping my eyes pinned to Race and waving Lisa off.
Pfft, Lisa scoffed, stomping away.
Race glared in Lisas direction. She wants you, she whispered.
Was she jealous?
I dont want her.
Shes a sure thing though.
I leaned closer, leaving very little space between us. I never liked easy.
All men like easy. Her body swayed, moving so close our lips almost brushed.
