Synopsis:
***Warning 18+ only due to mature subject matter and strong sexual content***Payton wrote a self-published book regaling her encounters with men while visiting Las Vegas. To her horror, life changes in more ways than one when someone finds out her true identity.
Ryder, a successful publisher, is determined to find and sign Reece Edwards. Using what little information he can find on her, he sets out to find her, feeling it will definitely be worth the chase.
While on his search for Reece, Ryder meets Payton and the chemistry is explosive. Payton has done well with not allowing anyone to get close to her, but something is different with Ryder. Ryder can’t get Payton out of his head, but he is still on his mission to locate Reece.
With two tragic pasts, Payton and Ryder each have demons to overcome. Will they be able to put those demons to rest or will it be all for nothing?
DeAnna's Review:
**4.5 Stars**
Judging by the title I figured I would get sucked into this book and I did!!
Ryder is a successful publisher always looking for the his next new author. He doesn’t just want any author, but someone “edgy”. He finally finds one, Reece Edwards, that he is very interested in and emails her an amazing offer. He never hears a response back. He is determined to meet this author and get her signed so he sets off to San Diego to find her.
Payton is a self published author. Payton didn’t have the best childhood and that has made her decide not to let hardly anyone get close to her. She loves to have sex, but she has her set of rules for the men she’s with. The main one is to not get attached. She travels to Vegas often and when she’s in Vegas she has flings with men that are in town on business. She decided to write about her sexual encounters using a pen name that is not known to anyone but her best friend, Chloe. Or does someone else know? Payton has been receiving mysterious notes from someone who seems to be watching her.
“All alone in this suite.
What a shame don’t you think?”
Ryder and Payton first cross paths during a kickboxing class that Ryder went to in search of Reece. They end up going to Starbucks afterwards and there is a definite attraction and insane chemistry between the two. They continue to hang out and their feelings towards each grow stronger. This scares Payton and of course leads to lots of drama, passionate encounters and running away on Payton’s part. I was so surprised to find out who was sending Payton those letters. I was not expecting that at all!
For a debut novel, I think Leighton did a great job! This was a quick and fun read. The characters were great and the sex scenes were HOT! The only thing that kept me from give the full 5 stars is that I wish there was a little more action throughout the book. (Not just sexually. Get your mind out of the gutter!) Leighton is definitely an author I look forward to reading more from in the future. I am recommending this one.
About the Author:
Texas born and raised, I found my love for dirty books rather recently. I work in real estate for my normal job and I write contemporary romance. I plan on having Sinfully be the first of three in its series. I would like to do a standalone after, but we’ll see! I love sweet tea (made right!), cookie cake, and anything with chocolate and peanut butter. I have a few guys at my gym that are my TDF’s (tall, dark, and fuckable) but also have a HSB (Hot Sauna Boy), because let’s be honest, they’re my motivation while I’m there! I go to Las Vegas often but I swear I don’t have as much fun as Payton does. Although, if I found myself a Tate there, I might change my opinion!Authors such as Katy Evans, SE Hall, Angela Graham, Jasinda Wilder, and Jillian Dodd have been a large influence on me and I’m forever grateful. I decided to write Sinfully on Black Friday in November 2013, on a whim. I thought I’d get bored after a few pages but was captivated by the characters and it developed into something I am truly proud of. When it comes to book boyfriends, I love those who are strong but with a little imperfection or tragedy in their past (Remy, Kellan, Q, Twitch are just a few of my favorites). I LOVE talking to my readers so feel free to message me on Facebook. <3
