Famous YA novelist John Murphy writes of fantasy and monsters.  Currently, he’s suffering from a wicked case of writer’s block.  John is definitely the love em’ and leave em’ type of guy.  He hasn’t met a woman yet that challenges the strict rules he places upon himself.  Things change when he moves next door to one Sweet as Sin baker.

Livvy Andrews, pastry chef extraordinaire owns her own specialty bakery: The Sugar Shack.  A workaholic and people pleaser Livvy finds little time for herself.  When the handsome John Murphy moves in next door, he tempts every bad bone in her body.  John lets Livvy know he wants her fiercely and Livvy’s looking for some fun.  A summer fling it is!

As the days go by, their fling becomes more.  Those secret family fantasies of Livvy’s start to look real and John’s nightmares resurface threatening to take everything he loves.  Are Livvy and John strong enough to overcome their pasts and find love everlasting?  Find out in Sweet as Sin.

Sweet as Sin is sexy as sin and well worth a taste!  The sparks fly from page one as John meets the sweet Livvy.  Their chemistry is undeniable and the seduction takes you on an arousing ride to consummation.  John and Livvy both have their share of scars haunting them.  John gives his nightmares voices in his books.  It is absolutely ingenious how Inez Kelley gives voice to John’s self in the characters of his books.  I felt it was brilliant how his characters represented all his love, hate and fear.  As Livvy was falling in love with John so was I.  Sweet as Sin is truly a beautiful novel about life, love, and overcoming the haunting darkness.  Sweet as Sin grabbed me from the beginning with its flirtatious nature but held me with its sincere depth of characters and integrity. Sweet as Sin is a delicious treat that will leave you wanting more!
