Book Review: Sweet Sinful Nights (Sinful Nights #1) by Lauren Blakely

Brent knows that ten years ago he made the biggest mistake of his life when he walked away from Shannon. He might not have seen her since that fateful day, but he's never stopped thinking about her. Shannon never got over her broken heart from Brent, the only man she has ever loved. Now fate has thrown them together again in Sin City and there is absolutely no way Brent is letting her go again. While their passion is still as hot as an inferno, can Shannon trust him not to hurt her again? And when she reveals the secret she's been keeping, will he walk away from her yet again?

Let me tell you something, those Nichols men sure know how to seduce a woman. Those dirty mouths? Dear lord! So Lauren gets right into it here with a heartbreaking prologues. I knew I was done for when the first few pages of the book made me a sobbing mess. But see, the pain was worth it because when we get an entire book of Brent grovelling and trying to make up for his assholery.

Shannon could have really held a grudge here and no one would have blamed her. But I admire her for being able to move on and not dwell too  much on the past. They were just so smokin' hot together and made for a perfect second chance romance.

I do also have to take a moment to address Shannon's whacked out mom. Lauren did warn me about her, but damn, that woman was beyond crazy! And Ms. Blakely does have a thing for including psycho mother's for her heroines (see 21 Stolen Kisses and The Thrill of It). While this is very much a stand alone novel, the mama drama will carry over into each of the subsequent books about Shannon's brothers. I can't wait for those boys to get hit with love and to find out what the heck is going on with mommy dearest.

Favorite Quotes

They kissed like it was a first time, and a last time, and like it was all time. They kissed like two people who wanted to climb into each other’s skin, to smash into the other person. There were no doubts. No questions. She had to feel everything he felt.

“The shoes looked hot, and you’re hot, and I always liked to fuck you in shoes, because you used to leave them on and that was insanely hot. Which pretty much describes you. Hot.”

"You don’t even want to know what’s going through my head.” “Oh, I do. I do want to know.” “Grabbing your hair, pushing you against a chair. Lifting your ass in the air, and sinking deep into your sweet, wet pussy.”

“Are you tired?” “I don’t want to sleep.” “What do you want to do?” “I want you to fuck the day away.” “That is my specialty.”

She was the one who got away…

Ten years ago, Brent Nichols let the love of his life slip through his fingers. It’s his greatest regret, especially since she’s all but disappeared. But when the gorgeous and captivating woman walks into his life unexpectedly, he’s determined to win her back. Whatever it takes, he won’t make the same mistake twice.

Easier said than done…

Shannon Paige has hardened her heart to the man she was once engaged to be married to. After the way he left, and after the hell she’s been through with her checkered family, there’s no way she’s letting him into her life again. The problem is, the second she sees him, he’s more handsome and charming than before. And she’s torn between wanting to fight with him and wanting to sleep with him - maybe both. Soon they fall into each other’s arms, consumed with a desire that burns through the years.

But if these two fiery lovers are going to have a real second chance at this kind of intense, passionate, bone-deep love, he’ll have to give her his whole heart, and she’ll have to give up all the secrets from her messy past.

And that messy past is about to spill over into her carefully constructed present…
