I was grateful to receive a free copy of Sensuous in Exchange for an honest review. I read the fist book, Sinful, and easily gave it five stars with a surprise cliff hanger ending. I couldn't wait too get my hands on Book 2, Sensuous. It was just as good as the first book. However, I did have to revisit the first book, to recall some of the "finer" details. Once that was done, I was able to delve into the plot once again, and Katherine Hawthorne did not disappoint. The good news is Book 2 reveals the killer (s), but leaves the reader with another dilemma. Once again I will have to wait to see what happen next. in Book 3....... I can hardly wait:-)

I am volunteering to leave a review of this ARC book from NetGalley. This book two of the quartet was even better than the first! I was able to read these two almost back to back and I can tell you it is going to be EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to wait for Numero Tres! Katherine, how wicked of you to do that to your readers! I Love It! Not Waiting Patiently!!!!

I managed to read this book first but I am definitely going back to read the first in the series. I was totally hooked and couldn't put it down, it might be a bit explicit for some people however I felt it added to the story rather than took away. Belle, Xander and Sin have a wonderfully complex relationship and it was great to see this unfold whilst finding out 'who dunnit'. Looking forward to reading the first one now.

I recently read SINFUL and was eager to read SENSUOUS, the second book of the series. I was lucky enough to be granted a copy from NetGalley and BooksGoSocial to read and review.  Here is my honest review in my own words. 

Well…. what can I say?   Sensuous is a steaming hot sequel.  Just what I needed after that SINFUL cliffhanger. 

This is part two of a four-part story telling the tale of an exceptionally erotic threesome - a relationship between a woman and two men. Two men who she trusted completely until she received information that makes her question everything she thinks she knows! 

The story is a romantic suspense, a heart-pumping all-action thriller, and so much more. There are many twists and turns, unexpected events - it is a fascinating mesmerising high-speed ride!

Katherine Hawthorne, your writing is fantastic and pulls the reader into the page!  … but may we ask that you please write faster…. we need the next book!

Sensuous by Katherine Hawthorne, book two in the Sinful Surrender Quartet series. Twists and turns and kept me reading, a high point that left me hanging at the end. Can't wait to read the next in this spicy quartet and more by this author.

The second book in the series starts off a little slow but definitely maintains the sexy, dangerous aspect that was so addicting in the first book. Can't wait to see what comes next!

I took my time reading this book because I DID NOT WANT IT TO END!!!! For me there are..not enough stars!!!! This series has me hook, line , and sinker! The story line of who did it and Belle and her persistent nature. She is strong and vulnerable at the same time. Even after everything she has been through she still trusts these two men to protect her and finally falls hard for both Sin and Xander. She loves both of them, but this book really takes you for a ride! The drops and revelations are crazy good and I just want more!!!! Sin has a way to make Belle feel bad and after everything that has hAppened throughout this book I find her right where she should be. The feelings I have are heartbreaking!!! Loved this read and I find myself very much impatient to read the next book in this series!
Withdrawal symptoms from a GREAT BOOK are horrendous!!

I received this ARC from the author via Net Galley for my honest review. This review is solely my own opinion. Thank you to the author and Net Galley!

Sensuous by Katherine Hawthorne is book Two in the Sinful Surrender Quartet series. This is the story of Alex Sinclaire, Xander Phoenix and Elizabeth Sullivan aka Isabella 'Belle' Saint. This picks up with Xander keeping Belle under protection and Alex fighting to get back in with her. Belle has feelings for both men but she is starting to not trust either. Both are fighting to keep her but they are fighting each other too for her. Another exciting storyline into their building story...this does end with a cliffhanger to set up for the next installment into their growing storyline.

Thank you for this ARC in exchange for an unbiased opinion!

This is the second book in the series and must be read after the first one. I read and really enjoyed the previous book and went straight on to read this one and it did not disappoint it was another super read with even more twists and turns it may have been even better than the first one cannot wait for the next book to find out what comes next.

After the WTF-cliffhanger on Sinful I was awaiting the second part of Sinful Surrender. And yay, finally Sensuous came on Netgalley. So, now I finally could read about the shooting of Belle and Sin by Xander. Why did Xander shoot Sin? And who murdered Belle's parents? Was it Sin's father? Or did Xander's parents have something to do with it? In Sensuous, Belle picks up on her investigation. However, both Xander and Sin have reasons to keep her in the bedroom and not on the investigation.
The riddles continue, when more bodies are piling up. And the heat in the bedroom is also increasing. So after this part, my (damp) panties are still in a twist, because there are still more unanswered questions. So, now I have to wait for the third part to come out! Four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

If you think the first book is full of surprises, wait until you read Sensuous! I loved this book more than the first. Again, we have another faced paced story, but it's also extremely heating up as well. I'll be honest, I love both men, but my heart lies with Xander. I just think his connection with Belle is so much stronger and the way they know each other can't compare to anything else. This stakes are definitely raised in the continuation of this series and after the bomb at the end, I cannot wait to see where this story goes!

Book two and now you got to wait for book three???hope you don't have to wait to long. Book two is really good and continues where book one left off and you really want to know what's going to happen next and what will Alex do? or Isabelle or Zander for that matter? Everything has not gone the way it should have, and not everybody will get what they really want. Or will they? Stay tune.

Wow, book 2 was so much better then book 1. This story has a wow factor to it. The characters are fully formed. There is suspense, intrigue and steamy sex. What's not to like?

In the previous book, Belle finds out that the men she has fallen in love with have been keeping secrets from her, secrets that could help find out who killed her parents. Xander and Sin do whatever they can to keep her. She learns that there is more to her men then they had previously shown her. Secrets come out that hurt them.

Suspense and surprises throughout. Lots going on to keep your attention.

Let me start by saying I'm not into triads / threesomes, but when I saw the first book of the series listed in NetGalley the cover and the description intrigued me. Reading the first book made me become interested in the story and provoked my curiosity so I had to read what happened next and let me tell you what a great reading it was... rising above my expectations.

The author stays true to keeping the suspense, the complex plot and offering surprises as the story progresses without leaving out the erotic elements with enough hot scenes to make even a demanding reader satisfied.

Really I was pleasantly surprised to have enjoyed so much reading this book and looking forward to the next one. I've got so hooked to find out what will happen to our heroes.

Wow, what a sequel. Certainly was not expecting everything that happened this. The heat of this story coupled with the overwhelming possessiveness and lust from each character is enough to jump off the page. The story has morw twists and turns than a country road, it leads you in one direction before dropping you in the complete opposite right up until the last gasping pages that leave you in shock!

The story picks up where it left off. Belle feels she can no longer trust Xander and Sin. Even though they do everything they can to protect her Belle takes risks in order to get answers regarding the deaths of her parents. Seeking answers will lead to another death and to her kidnapping. The relationship is rocky because Belle is still hiding information from Xander and Sin. The truth about the death of her parents is finally revealed but at what cost?
