Synopsis:
Locked in with the town bad boy . . .
Most women would be scared, but Gabriella’s only worried about resisting Cruz Walsh, who’s even hotter than he was back in high school. Cruz was wrongly accused of the high-profile crime for which he was imprisoned; Gabriella’s desperate for the scoop that will get her career off the ground and get her out of Sweet Hill, where everyone still remembers her as “Flabby Gabby.” Being stuck in a supply closet with Cruz is the perfect opportunity to land an interview. What Bri doesn’t count on is Cruz taking “up-close and personal” to a whole new level.
If there’s a silver lining to the hell Cruz went through, it’s that losing his freedom put everything in perspective. Maybe starting over someplace new would be easier, but after years locked up, Cruz values his family—and his true friends—more than ever. So he’s back home, facing the gossip, dodging reporters . . . and face-to-face with Gabriella Rossi. They’ve both changed: Bri wants a story and Cruz just wants her. Another thing he’s learned? Don’t let a good thing slip away.
“explosively sexy … Cruz and Gabby are tremendously likable, together and separately, and their unknowingly mutual crush and deep emotional bond will place this masterpiece at the top of any romance reader’s list.”
—Publishers Weekly STARRED review
“[Jordan] makes a strong case for body positivity when Cruz convinces Gabriella—with artful dirty talk—to leave the lights on as they make up for lost time. The would-be high school sweethearts prove that being locked up is much hotter when you're with the one you love—a bold and lusty installment in the series.”
— Kirkus
Review:
This is the first book I have read and I feel like I have missed something because I didn't start from te beginning. Beautiful Sinner is the fifth book in the Devil's Rock Series. This book enters around characters that are ex-cons.
When we meet Gabriella, she's there to celebrate her niece but there is more in store for her. She meets Cruz Walsh and there are some questions about him that has. Gabriella like Cruz and she has known him as a child but his family has a bad reputation. There is something about this family that is mysterious.
Gabriella is a journalist so even though she has her eyes set on him there is a tug in her heart...does she do her "job" and investigate or does she follow her heart and figure out what is going on with him. There's a connection between them...there has always been a connection that they can't fight. Will her job win? Will she find a way to get what her heart desires? There was something about that book that pulls you in to read more and find out what happens.
I really wish I could have connected with the characters a little more. I wanted to keep reading to find out what would happen. This story was written well but I feel there was something missing to make me want to devour it. I needed more history for Cruz and Gabriella. I loved that they were able to get a second chance at romance.
