Gold Lust is the third book in the Sin series written by author Aleatha Romig. This series has a continuous storyline, and it’s necessary to read them in chronological order. The second book in the series, Green Envy, ended with such a huge cliffhanger that I couldn’t wait to get the next piece to Van and Julia’s story. I seriously counted the days for the release and dropped everything when it appeared on my Kindle. Oh, just a heads up, since this is only the third book in the series, be prepared for another huge cliffhanger!

Gold Lust begins where we were left off, and I was immediately sucked back into the amazing storyline. Now, let me tell you, I have a huge weakness for strong alpha males, and Van is becoming one of my favorites. I love how he’s opening up more and will do just about anything for the woman he loves. Julia is becoming such a strong and confident woman. However, events in this third book have her second-guessing herself more and more.

Like the other books in the series, my emotions were all over the place! It felt like I was on an epic rollercoaster ride, and I’m dying to fill you in about everything. Although, this is one series that you need to read and experience for yourself! But let me tell you, the cliffhanger nearly did me in!

Now, I’m counting the days for Black Knight, the fourth and final book in the series, to be released!

Red is the color of blood, sacrifice, danger, and courage. It’s also associated with heat, passion, and sexuality. When two people meet unexpectedly with an inexplicable attraction that defies common understanding...it can be called RED SIN.

Julia and Van found one another in a shaken snow globe. Stranded in a blizzard, they embraced being two individuals with no last names. The plan was to walk away from each other with no regrets—until that plan changed.

Julia’s life was delivered a staggering blow the day she discovered her fiancé’s infidelity. The night she met a handsome stranger, one who showed her the possibility of a life filled with more than the fulfillment of expectations, she took a chance.

When it comes to business, Donovan Sherman is a wolf—a bloodthirsty carnivore who leaves wounded prey and victims in his wake. He learned from the best, his onetime nemesis and now-mentor, Lennox Demetri, who showed him that opportunities are only ripe for those willing to risk it all, a lesson Donovan took to heart.

With Julia McGrath, Donovan must decide if this beautiful woman who showed him the meaning of red sin will fall victim as his prey or if after experiencing the unbridled passion, there is more that he wants.

Red Sin is the first book in the Sin series written by author Aleatha Romig. The prequel novella, White Ribbon, was originally released in the I Have Lived and I Have Loved anthology, which is currently unavailable. However, if you haven’t read it yet, don’t worry! Red Sin starts off with the prequel, White Ribbon. Oh, and if you have read White Ribbon, you can begin reading chapter seven.

Red Sin tells the story of Julia and Van, and their chemistry is off the charts! Julia and Van’s meeting was by chance, but fate also seems to be playing a role. As Julia gets to know Van for the memoir she’s writing, she discovers that there’s a lot she doesn’t know about him. Van is a mysteriously sexy businessman, and I’m so intrigued by him. I’m dying to discover his secrets, and I’m hoping that he truly cares for Julia. As I got to the last chapter, I about died! A cliffhanger of epic proportions!

Now, I’m counting the days until Green Envy is released!

“Nothing is enough to the man for whom enough is too little.” ~ Epicurus

At what age did I begin to question everything?

As far back as I, Donavan Sherman, can recall, I saw the world not through the rose-colored glasses of others—those spectacles worn by the individuals who see what surrounds them and are satisfied—but through vision hued by green.

Life took me along a bumpy path, or better yet, the path I chose led me to encounter obstacles that prepared me to overcome. That journey didn’t sugarcoat the world; it opened my eyes to the true qualities of green—greed, illness, and envy. After all, even Disney surrounds their villains in green smoke. That green hue created the realization that there is always more, always better, and never enough.

I saw, I coveted, I took, and I conquered.

I made enemies.

Even with Julia by my side, my quest for more isn’t satisfied. There are people I want to see suffer, but it seems that revenge isn’t a one-way street.

Will Julia pay the price for my sins?

*GREEN ENVY is a full-length novel and book two of the Sin Series that began with RED SIN and will continue with GOLD LUST.

I absolutely loved Red Sin, and I’ve been dying for the next book in Julia and Van’s story. We were left on such a big cliffhanger, and I’ve counted the days for the next release. So, as soon as Green Sin appeared on my Kindle, I dropped everything and jumped right in! Just a heads up, since this is only the second book in the series, be prepared for another huge cliffhanger!

Green Sin begins where we were left off, and as soon as I turned that first page, I honestly couldn’t turn them fast enough. I was so happy to learn about Van’s past, as I’ve been dying to understand it. However, Aleatha gave us just a taste, and there’s still a lot of mystery involving him. I also enjoyed seeing Julia become more assertive, and I thought it was great how supportive Van was about it.

Like all of Aleatha’s books, the storyline will consume you while she takes you on the rollercoaster ride of your life! I wish I could go into more detail, but I don’t want to spoil it for you. However, I can tell you that there was suspense, intrigue, twists and turns, and some blazing hot sex scenes!

Now, I’m counting the days until Gold Lust is released!
