review 1: For the Sake of Sin, was the third book that I have read from Suzie Grant and once again I was not disappointed. I came across this book as I was adding some of her other works to my “wish list” on Amazon and since it was free, I decided I needed to read it immediately.This book is a short, sultry historical erotica that takes place deep in the heart of Texas. Although some novellas leave you wanting for more, due to them being short in length, I did not feel that that was the case with this story. From the beginning these characters will pull you in and leave you wanting to know how their story will end. In this book we follow the lives of the beautiful Ava Sinclair (Sin) and the assassin, Gabriel Stone. When Ava approaches Gabriel to hire him to kill the man that has... more wronged her and her family she is quickly thrown for a loop when Gabriel denies the job. Even though he had no intentions of working for, they soon learn that their brief meeting was just the beginning of the journey their desires and love would take them on.For me, Suzie Grant did an amazing job bringing this novella to life. She created characters with depth and personality that is rare to find in shorter novels. This book is a great afternoon read and I am looking forward to much more from this author!
review 2: This was a short, erotic, historical tale involving a courtesan, an assassin, and a corrupt mayor. I think it's a good way to sample Suzie Grant's work. I read her Wrong Kind of Paradise recently and thoroughly enjoyed it as well. For a short story, it was good. I did find the falling in love and opening up to each other with their dark secrets be a bit abrupt and sudden, but again, it's a shortie. Ava is a courtesan who wants to hire Gabriel to kill her lover. Why? Because her lover killed her family... Well, Ava is a lusty woman who enjoys her job. I'm not into whores, myself, but I appreciated that this heroine enjoyed sex. It was a pleasant change from the frightened, simpering whores you often find in historical romances. Ava uses sex to her advantage and likes it. I also liked that the sex scenes had some unique language/descriptions. Suzie Grant has a unique style and a good writer's voice. less

Erotic but with a story and a sweet ending. Had a small tear in my eye at the end.
