The Whore of Chicago, that's Bee according to the gossip; she finds herself unable to find a job because her undeserved reputation precedes her. As the anticipated snubs have become reality, Bee is feeling the strain but instead of being depressed and discouraged, she is angry, very angry. Billionaire Nicolas has a plan to deal with the gossip, but Bee is unable to accept the conditions he poses. Cyndi's world is topsy-turvy, and nothing is as it was for almost anyone.

SINFUL REWARDS 7 is the thinking woman's erotica. The seventh instalment in Cynthia Sax's Billionaires and Bikerscan be read even by someone who isn't familiar with the previous books because there is so much content in that novella, and because of the way it's conceived, it can stand on its own. Subtle metaphors reveal hidden truths behind the characters and add to an otherwise already powerful narrative; a few significant events from the past serve as catalysts in the evolution of the story arc.

In SINFUL REWARDS 7, Cynthia Sax exploits an effective angle to illustrate the turmoil of Bee's life: how one might feel defined by inanimate objects and surroundings, and how one could choose particular objects and environment to project a specific image, regardless of personal taste. Colours play an exceptionally strong part as well in defining the characters: Hawke's grey to Bee and Nicolas' black and white, how colours represent the characters' frame of mind, how they appear to others, how they symbolize their perception of the world. I also found fascinating at how Ms. Sax shows how Hawke and Nicolas' approach to order and chaos mean very different things, and how Bee's propensity to clean and scour is symbolic of her way of coping with issues. And again Bee's beautiful red designer purse plays a role of great importance.

SINFUL REWARDS 7 is a book to be experienced: the story moves along very quickly, the level of sensuality and sexuality reaches stratospheric levels. Ms. Sax writes with such intentional precision that, at times, the choice of a particular word or the use of singular or plural makes all the difference in the context. SINFUL REWARDS 7 had me thinking, crying, as well as cheering wildly at some of the choices that were made by the characters.
