Bee is now literally losing sleep over Hawke: insomnia
has replaced the nightmares she had; even the closeness
of her tattooed biker barely allows her a restful night's
sleep. Having refocused her reason for living on Hawke's
welfare instead of her own, keeping him out of danger has
eclipsed almost all her other preoccupations, except
money of course. She's obsessed with Hawke's safety, thus
making sure he will not abandon her, at least
involuntarily. And the day when fashion went out the
window has arrived: it's time for Bee to put that
beautiful, re designer purse to good use.
Bee is desperately trying to convince herself that she is
not in love with Hawke, that everything that is happening
with him was never part of the immediate big picture, in
the future maybe, but not now. She cannot be in love;
it's lust with mutual respect, is it not? But all things
considered, Bee realises that her plans have been blown
right to hell.
Even though the sex with Hawke is playful and loving, and
the relationship is easy, Bee's anxiety is spiralling
into uncontrolled panic. In desperate need of a job, Bee
does the unthinkable, and this is where Cynthia Sax's
powers of description shine as never before: the
workplace where Bee had sworn she'd never set foot in is
described in such dizzying clarity that it becomes as
nauseatingly vivid to the reader as it is to Bee.
SINFUL REWARDS 10 is action-packed, intense, nerve-
racking, and at times has a nightmarish quality that is
exquisitely tempered by Hawke and Bee's lovemaking, which
is more tender and ardent than ever before. Ms. Sax
manages to convey the love that Bee doesn't want to feel
for Hawke, as well. We also see a side of Nicolas that
had never been suspected before. Hawke reveals something
that most readers might have seen coming, but that leaves
Bee positively shocked. Bee hesitates to accept a request
from Friendly, but when she does, we witness Cynthia
Sax's most dazzling, brilliant, mesmerising sex scene
ever. There is also this chilling moment in SINFUL
REWARDS 10, after having accepted another gift from
texter Friendly, Bee realises that the mysterious voyeur
might not be who she thought he was, and Ms. Sax conveys
Bee's reaction so successfully, that even readers who
have had their doubts for a long time feel Bee's alarm.
As the SINFUL REWARDS series approaches its conclusion,
the story arc gets more captivating, and with all those
plot twists, the author keeps the suspense alive in every
instalment in this series, no easy task, and Ms. Sax's
writing is more impressive, more nuanced than ever; I
would venture to say that her prose shimmers...
Everything that Bee once believed in has changed … because
of him. With one heated glance, one meaningful touch, one
soul-melting kiss, he has turned her world upside down and
transformed her life forever.
She knows he'll do anything for her, including sacrificing
all that he holds dear and never letting her go.
But what is she willing to do for him?
Will Bee embrace the unthinkable to keep her man safe and
give up her dreams to spend one more night in his arms?
Will
their passion be enough to satisfy them?
