Length: 7 hrs and 57 mins

Publisher's Summary

Someone was after her and it was my duty to stop them. Never cross the line. That had always been my rule. But that was before Race True. The moment I saw her, I wanted her. But there was a problem. She wasn't just another pretty face - no, she was my first client at ALFA PI. My take-what-I-want attitude shouldn't include her, but how the hell can I be expected to keep my hands off? The danger that followed her had my protective instincts in overdrive. And as the clock ticked down, the choice was laid out before me: save her career or risk everything and have her in my bed. Could I put aside my wants for her needs? Or would my selfishness destroy everything in the process? Warning: If you can't handle a dirty-mouthed bad boy or a tough woman with an attitude, this might not be the book for you.

This story was a surprise to me. It is very erotic and explicit. The Mystery / Suspence is more of a reason for the two to meet and continue the association.

My Two Pennies

Narration was good, both characters were presented strongly with their emotions. Story wise 3.7 stars. Morgan has his first PI case and he’s in for a rude awakening when he meets his client Race, a woman that stands her ground and fights for what she wants. They have a rocky start as Race tries to fight her desires but once she lowers her guard we get to see a whole other side of this woman. The story was a bit slow paced for me for a bit and it wasn’t until things took a sharp turn that I was pulled into the story and wanted to hear more. Towards the end I felt it dip slightly again but overall it’s a sweet and enjoyable read.

Pretty good

3/5 stars. Book 1 in series but spinoff of Men of Inked series.

The plot of bodyguard/detective is familiar. Some scenes/reactions are unlikely or unbelievable. The characters are interesting.

The erotic scenes are hot.

The narration is pretty good.

Unsure

I was enjoying the book until the female narrator spoke. Tried to give her a chance but instead of growing on me the opposite happened. Couldn’t finish & returned the book. Gave it three stars based on the first few chapters and the potential i thought the book had.

What a book

I absolutely loved this. From the story line to the narrators voices. Such a good book.

A story I love, one narrator not so much

Would you consider the audio edition of Sinful Intent to be better than the print version?

I’ve not read this book so I can’t be the judge of that.
What I can say is that the storyline is good and the progression is as I expected. I liked the plot and that it didn’t take over the whole story.

What other book might you compare Sinful Intent to and why?

I might compare it to Masters and Mercenaries by Lexi Blake because there’s multiple characters and the story is similar in plot and progression.
There’s a lot of feelings, and the intensity that Blake brings to her books is something Bliss seems to also have a capability to do.

What does Samara Naeymi and Lee Samuels bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I’m going to answer this in two parts because my experience of the two narrators was very different:
Remember this is MY opinion:
Naeymi was not a good fit for me and my ears, I felt that her pronunciation was sloppy and the habit of drag out the words mostly irritated me. I’m sorry to say it because:
Samuels was a joy to listen to, good pronunciation and a soothing voice. If not for him my stars on performance would have been fare less.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If Lee Samuels was the only narrator, YES!

Any additional comments?

I liked the secondary characters appearances in the book and it made me want to read their stories.
Chelle Bliss manages to create a world I want to read more about.

Some good traits but fell short

There were a lot of things I liked about this novel; the family interactions, good sex scenes and good basic idea, for the plot. However, I did not get pulled into the story. I didn’t feel anxious during the kidnapping, search and rescue, for example. I didn’t share the emotional trauma with the Heroine or the uncertainty of the Hero. It wasn’t awful, and perhaps I wasn’t in the right frame of mind. I am going to try the next book in the series, though.

Loved it!

Loved it! I laughed out loud more then once. Loved the action with the sexy time. The narrator's were spot on. The family bound is great as well. We'll worth the credit/cash.

Fun

My first book from Ms. Bliss, fun, fast paced , a bit of suspense, a few hot scenes made this story quite enjoyable. Looking forward to the next one.
Loved the voices Mr. Samuels gave the characters. Ms. Naeymi 's voices were ok, but not a good match for me.

Great!

I loved this story and it was exciting and very hawt! I loved every word.
