About this listen

Seven deadly—and ultrarich—sins rule NYC, and though she came here to escape her past, one woman’s true path to freedom might be the devil’s bonds in this scorching hot romantasy from Kait Ballenger.

The seven deadly sins keep high profiles in the Big Apple: Lust runs brothels, Sloth’s a media streamer…you get the picture. Pride, though, he’s more mysterious. You might know him as Lucifer—temptation irresistibly embodied. The paparazzi are dying for some burning-hot gossip. So when someone publishes my scathing but private rant about him, they eat it up. And now my job is on the line. After all, he is my boss.

With his vicious siblings vying for his power, Lucifer needs to distract the press, so he reframes my tirade as a lovers’ spat, demanding I play the devil’s fiancée. I need to be a good girl, smile for the cameras, nothing more.

But cocky and cruel as he is, his darkness awakens something wicked in me. Sexy and in control, he might just be the cure—an extra dose of sin to heal me from a lifetime of shame and subservience.

And I like it.

Original Sinner

Original Sinner by Kait Ballenger
Dark romantasy. Present tense, alternating POV. Erotica elements including BDSM.
New York City is run by Lucifer and the seven deadly sins. Brothels, elite bars where sex and temptation are the only part of the menu, and sin is the name of the game. The media and paparazzi follow the power players for the salacious news stories. It is not a playground for the innocent.
Yet, NY is exactly where Charlotte goes to escape her religious and restrictive past. She gets an assistant PR job where she ends up working directly for Lucifer, who cannot resist her. He can’t see her sins and it’s driving him mad. If he can’t see any of her sins, he’s going to make sure he gives her a few she will never forget. The PR job turned fake relationship turned play room kink drives both Charlotte and Lucifer to the unknown.

2nd read
🎧 Narrators Isabelle Turner and Ethan Reid will keep you captive and captivated throughout the story.
It’s unforgettable.
Bonus - amazing whispersync price!

Enrapture, domination, anger, pleasure and lust. Just the tip of the emotional entanglements.

I was gifted a copy of this from NetGalley and publisher Brilliance. I purchased a copy from Audible as well.

Sinfully delicious

When you are raised and abused by an Evangelist who only cares about turning his daughter into a submissive broodmare and turns you over to someone more cruel than himself, what do you do? Run away to the one place they will never look. Hell’s Kitchen NYC straight into the arms of the devil himself. Lucifer

He owns a the city and if you cross him, they will regret it. Lucifer should scare Charlotte, and he does, yet she cannot help her pull to him and his interest in her for being so bold and fearless. They fall into a relationship of convenience to better his image for his company which of course is complicated. A wicked whirlwind of heat and desire complicates this fake relationship and the devil isn’t the only evil player in this game.

An entertaining spicy story that had me completely consumed. If anyone has triggers regarding abuse, eware as this book has some among other things that some might not care for. I however have little trigger issues so… I danced with the devil and had a good time.

Did I just fall in love with Kait Ballenger?

This was the first Kait Ballenger book that I’ve read/ listened to. I have to say… I am officially a Kait B fan!!!! Loved her writing style and the way she brought the characters and their journey to life. It’s a spicy read with dark elements. Definitely need to pay attention to the trigger warnings. She’s very upfront on those. Over all loved the story, loved the characters, and loved the relationship build. Great book for dark romance and spicy readers. Can’t wait for the next one!!

Started out strong…

I was initially impressed and surprised with how this book started. I really, really, really enjoyed hearing Ethan Reid narrating. However, just like so many romantasy books, the FMC’s intelligence and character dwindles down to a potato, leaving me more irritated and barely able to enjoy the book. Plot could’ve also used some beefing up, especially towards the end.

Last but not least, why the heck was this not duet narrated?

Overall this wasn’t the best, nor the worst audio.
