Smoke and Sin

Publisher's Summary

More than a decade ago, Roman Calder had a scorching affair with the sister of one of his best friends. Augustine Spencer drove him so crazy he thought of nothing but her. The only thing they did more often than heat the sheets was fight. Unprepared for the intensity of their relationship, Roman broke things off and concentrated on things that made sense to him: his career and putting his best friend, Zack Hayes, in the White House.

Gus Spencer is known to Washington insiders as the president's secret weapon. Gorgeous and brilliant, Gus runs the press pool with the determination of a shark. No one dares to cross her, not when she's known for having a spine of steel...but long ago one man melted her down. Despite the fact that she'll never forgive Roman for breaking her heart, now that they work together she can't get him off her mind.

When a dangerous investigation leads both Roman and Gus to London, the heat between them becomes unbearable. As they begin to unravel an international conspiracy, they find themselves falling all over again. But when a killer threatens their world, can they fight to stay together or will the sins of their past keep them forever apart?

Contains mature themes.

Wow... just wow! The Plot Thickens!

Talk about a cliffhanger.... I really hate the thought of waiting another year to find out what happens next with The Perfect Gentlemen and their wives! Roman and Gus are sexy and explosive. It’s nice to get a few more pieces to this intricate puzzle and the backstory as well.

Lots of intrigue, but this was also an emotional ride. I really love how seamlessly Black and Blake weave these couples into the overlying thriller that runs from the first book until now- with virtually no plot holes. Each player is described in such detail, from the inside out, they come alive , and it’s so easy to become invested in these relationships. These are definitely not stand alones-you have to start at the beginning-and it’s time well spent.

The dialogue is fantastic, though sometimes during the action I felt like Roman and Gus were each in their own heads just a little bit too much. The sexual chemistry between these two is off the charts, and when they get together it’s intimate,erotic, and all consuming. I got all the feels.

One of the things I love about these books & this couple is that they are adults-in their late 30’s, have made mistakes, are still falling in love, still sexy, confident, mature enough to work things through, take responsibility for their choices, willing to take risks emotionally.....eventually.

This is truly a sophisticated, witty, twisted, suspenseful, mysterious, romantic, erotic, political thriller. It was worth the wait and definitely everything I anticipated and more. I couldn’t put it down! I need more!!!!

Greg Boudreaux nailed the narration of this, he did the women’s voices and the occasional accent with ease- even differentiating between English/British accents and maintained southern accents making the characters easily identifiable.

Absolutely worth the credit or cash, and I will be listening again-I think I might even have to start at book 1 and listen to them all again now that I have more of the story! These never get old!

I’m going to try and be patient for the next installment of The Perfect Gentlemen......❤️

Best yet!

Have loved all of the books in this series but this one was my favorite! So much fun and suspense and as usual, very sexy, and right now I am just hoping that the next and I suspect last book in the series will not be too far behind.

Fantastic book. this series has been great

this series has been great. I can't wait for the fifth book in the series to be released. the twist at the end I didn't see coming but can now see book six's opening.

OMG!!!

Must read book and series. This book is full of mystery and suspense. Can't wait until the next book comes out.

WOW, just WOW

This is the fourth installment in The Perfect Gentlemen series and it is a stunner. Shayla Black and Lexi Blake have put together a powerhouse series that keeps on on the edge of your seat. I have read and listened to all four of these books and enjoyed them greatly. This is Roman and Augustine's book and it is full of drama and intrigue. I don't want to say too much and spoil any of the suspense. 5 great stars and well worth the listen. Greg Boudreaux does a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life.

Smoke and sin

I have enjoyed all of these, but at the end of book 4 you left us hanging. Sorry Liz had to be the bad guy, but omg Matt not dead. You really need to do book 5 , I would love that all the guys get together one last time and get Mr president laid.

One if the best series

There is romence, steamyness and suspense. You have to read the previous books in the series but I'll tell you: it's worth it. I was a bit surprised to see only one narrator and a man. It worked perfectly. You'll love this.

loved it

omg this book was so good. cant wait for next book in series! this is a must listen too

Much better!!

This 4th installment left hanging, thou, cheers to Roman and Augustine, they finally got their time,. And Wowza, the last 5 minute got me all twisted and now I can't wait for the next book. Is it coming out soon? I hope so🙏

Superb

This is my favourite in the Perfect Gentlemen series and I am so pleased that Mad is still alive as this book made me like him so much. The only problem is having to wait for the last book

another exciting read in this series

I have thoroughly enjoyed the whole perfect Gentleman series so far. I already owned this book in Kindle form but since I love having stories read to me I jumped at the chance to buy it on Audible. co.uk. I am really looking forward to the next book in the series and hope that it is underway now.

whoa!!!! Bloody brilliant!!

this series has been really good and I've had my suspicions for a while... .mainly because this book took so long to come out! please don't make us wait this long for the next! take pity on your fans! anyway....be warned as it ends on a cliff hanger and it's a whopper!!!!!!! it's well worth it though but you set have to start with the first insallment....you can't jump in as nothing will make sense. have fun!

Excellent book

Wow another brilliant audible book in the Perfect Gentlemen series I simply loved it from start to finish even with a new narrator.
