Starlight is a take no prisoners, one surprise after another leading lady! She is witty, intelligent and passionate about her work and her family. Having dedicated her life to caring for her brother and pursuing her love of botany and science - not to mention the full-time job of thwarting her step mother's claws, life (maybe with a little help from her stepmom) suddenly presents her with an opportunity to let go and live for once. As much as she enjoys control the idea of temporarily pursuing her fantasy has its draws. Hagen is a roasted marshmallow when it comes to Starlight. He is the enforcer the right hand that does what is necessary. The world sees his darkness, fears him. But for his Starlight? That is stripped away and he is nothing but sweet melty goo 💝. These two are nuclear together! They grew up together and like magnets, there has always been a strong attraction between them but it was something they could not pursue. After close to a decade of sexual tension that has quietly smoldered between them they finally take the leap, even if it is just to get a taste of the forbidden. This was an entertaining and romantic read that has all those feel-good moments The characters are easy to connect with and have a charisma that draws in the reader The story line flows smoothly and entertains. A lot of romance touched with tidbits of suspense and the occasional glimpse of future 'OMG' moments kept me engaged from the opening to the closing. I am excited to see where the author takes us next

4 Stars Reviewed by Allyson Late Night Reviewer Up All Night w/ Boks Blog A second chance novel at it's untamed finest! "It will be raw, untamed and dirty. I am as depraved and dark as the world believes. Especially when it comes to sex." Master of Sin by Sienna Snow had an emotional yet on the edge of your seat pull throughout the entire novel. With that said, I had a love/hate relationship with this story. Sienna, bless her heart, had me gripping my kindle throughout the intense erotic scenes, but then I wanted to throw my device at certain characters. I am a mega fan for second chance romances so this story hit that mark out of the park with the hot as hell chemistry between Hagen Lykaios and Persephone "Starlight" Kipos. The dominant, alpha tendencies that Hagen pursued to try and win Starlight's heart back was damn near heart melting. Sienna did a great job at building her characters up to truly feel those emotions rolling off the pages through those scenes. "You agreed to play with the devil, Starlight. Now he owns you." Even though the lust and chemistry was red hot, there were moments of reconnection that seemed off. Starlight, or Penny (one in the same person), her feistiness and independent behavior in her business role didn't transfer over to standing her ground toward Hagen. With their past history, I would think she would make him work a little harder to earn her trust back. There were many moving elements within the novel that kept the storyline flowing. I truly love Sienna's writing, the stories that she concocts. She always manages to sweep me off my feet, transporting me into another romantical world out of the reality I live in today which showcases what an amazing author she really is. I am eager to see what she has in store for the next book, Master of Games.

What a journey Sienna Snow has taken us on. This book just flowed so easily, it was like watching a movie in my mind as I read the script. The storyline and script were meshed with perfection as we were fed tidbit after tidbit until the pieces could be put together. The characters and sub-characters were perfectly matched and blended in all their flawed glory. Haegan and Starlight were the quintessential couple with their strong personalities and weakness for each other. I just absolutely loved this book and can't wait to read about the other two Lykaios brothers, Pierce and Zacharius, and Starlight's brother Aiden. I'm so proud to have been one of a few to have received an ARC of this book and this is my voluntary review.
