It had been years ... years of pain and drowning in regret
and alcohol for Adam Brascum. He's sober now had been for
years ... which isn't easy considering he runs a bar and
everyone is gathering there to discuss the allegations
that
had shattered his hometown. He feels the past he had tried
to erase come back and it's SWEETER THAN SIN.
Then she comes back to town out of the blue, heating up
every fantasy that Adam had ever had. He knows there is a
killer out there seeking vengeance, ready to explode into
violence and Lana Rossi might be targeted. Lana had been
Adam's friend and growing obsession then she disappeared.
Adam knows he must protect her because he realized that
all
the years of pain were because she had taken his heart
when
she disappeared from his life.
SWEETER THAN SIN is in my eyes a dark, gritty, intricate
study of human survival. Adam and Lana both did what they
had to do to endure their pasts, coming back to the
beginning to really break it down and sort it out. If you
haven't read author Shiloh Walker previous Secrets and
Shadows books, you might be a little lost as it is
very
complex. I can't really say this is my favorite book by
Ms.
Walker, not because of the writing it is fantastic as
always ... but the topic this series deals with is one I
personally find disturbing. I found myself reading this
book believing it to be mainly about love lost and found
with a lot of pain in between.
CAN’T FORGET THE PAIN It took years for Adam to stop drowning his regrets in
alcohol, and running the local bar doesn’t make it any
easier—especially not when everyone he knows gathers there
to discuss the shocking allegations that have shattered
his
hometown. When another murder rocks sleepy Madison to its
core, it becomes chillingly clear that even more vicious
wounds are waiting to be exposed.
WON’T RESIST THE PLEASURE Nothing is sacred anymore, and no one is safe, least
of
all the mystery woman who shows up in town out of the
blue,
looking like every fantasy Adam’s ever had. She may have
her
own dangerous secrets, but she can’t ignore the urgent
heat
between them any more than he can. As a killer’s quest for
vengeance explodes into violence, Adam is tempted to lose
himself in the delicious promise of her body—until he
realizes he’ll risk anything if she’ll give him her heart…
