Publisher's summary

Xander was my heaven, filling me with life.

After surviving my worst nightmare, Xander proved to be my hero once again, shielding me the best he could. Our peace is cut short, brutally destroyed when a vicious killer strikes too close to home, revealing devastating secrets that should have remained forever buried.

Sin was my hell, his desertion complete.

Cutting me out of his life with the cruelest words possible, Sin left me broken, my heart shattered in pieces. After weeks without him, his unexpected reappearance catapults me into a tailspin, torn between the fierce desire that never seems to diminish and my inability to trust him again.

I still wanted both but could only have one.

Ultimately, finding justice had destroyed us all, inciting a violent war in which there could be no winner. Two men, one accused of murder, the other seeming just as guilty, both withholding the truth. Caught between them, I was forced to choose, a heartbreaking decision that, in the end, was sure to ruin me.

Author's Note: This book is intended for mature audiences due to explicit language and sexual content. Scandalous is a ménage romance that's all about the girl. There are no m/m scenes. Scandalous ends in a cliff-hanger.

The Sinful Surrender Quartet should be enjoyed in the following order:

Sinful
Sensuous
Scandalous
Shameless

intense, action packed

This series is full of mystery lies, secrets. suspense, betrayal, and revenge. Katherine Hawthorne has written an excellent. crime, action-packed thriller. Sin, Xander and Belle's relationship is hot, steamy and toxic. Sin and Xander will do everything to keep Belle alive, even if it is against the law.
Who to trust? People are getting tortured and murdered. Sin, Xander and Belle are a target in this multi layer plot, that kept me on the edge of my seat.
I can't express how well the narration is. Lacy Laurel, Connor Crais and James Cassidy show all the raw emotions, of love, anger, despair, and rage in this story. I could picture the performance in my mjnd. Just as each chapter unfolds in a movie. Bravo very well done.

Amazing Series!

This is the third book in the Sinful Surrender Quartet series, a Romantic Suspense. Belle, Xander and Sin's story continues where the second book left off. There is a lot going on in this installment. The storyline is fast-paced, emotional, steamy, and suspenseful. The story ends with a big cliffhanger, and I am looking forward to listening to Shameless, the next book in the series, to know what happens next. Lacy Laurel, Connor Crais, and James Cassidy did an amazing job with the narration. #AudiobookObsession

Scandals Galore!

The mystery, suspense and over plot of the story continues to get better. Every time we think we're getting somewhere, another clue is discovered.

What caused the loss of a star after rating the first two 4 stars, is the actual couple (trio). I like angsty reads just like anyone else, graveling and the push and pull, but they are not growing as group or even as individuals. I often find myself skipping what used to be steamy scenes due to repetition.

I will continue onto the final book, like I said I am enjoying the actual storying.

What's better than Dual POV read Audiobook? Three narrators. Lacy Laurel, Connor Crais, and James Cassidy all do an amazing job playing their respective parts.

Audio ARC provided and I decided to leave an honest review.

RIVETING

The edge of your seat emotional roller coaster continues. Scandalous is super sharp, dark, and deliciously sexy with a well-built plot. Answers to the cliffhangers were revealed, but those answers brought new questions leaving this book with another epic cliffhanger. I am speechless at the depth of the entire storyline. Lacy Laurel, Connor Crais and James Cassidy are absolute perfection. #The Hatters & The Hatters Author Services #AudiobookObsessionReviewer🎧

Story 3☆ ~ Narration 5☆ ~ Overall 4☆

This is the first series I'm listening to by Katherine Hawthorne. I love the suspense/mystery part of the storyline. Just when I think it's all solved, there's more! That has kept me listening and enjoying the book.

Book one, I didn't "feel" the characters. Book two, I became invested in the characters. Book three I'm back to feeling meh over the characters. There is so much back and forth between Belle, Xander, and Sin. As much anger/hate as there is, I don't understand how there is still attraction. My heart does break for Belle. I hope to get a satisfying HEA in the next book!

Once again, all three narrators are excellent! I love their voices. Great performances!

There was a production issue at the end of Chapter 40 that had two voices speaking at the same time. It was a minute or so and we didn't really miss much in that short time. It was just confusing.

Still intense storytelling

Wow, just as intense as the last though a bit more down and angry. Belle, Xander, and Alex still had mistrust and misunderstandings. My heart hurt for all of their pain. I still enjoyed the story, and I continued to love listening to Connor Crais, James Cassidy, and Lacy Laurel. I recommend the series and look forward to the conclusion.

I received this audiobook through The Hatters Services, and this is my unsolicited review.

Scandalous

Wow! This is the third book in the Sinful Surrender Quartet. This book almost broke me. This book had me thinking the worst about both men.They truly will do anything for Belle. Both men want Belle as their own. The book ends with them making Belle choose only one man. She loves both men. I can't wait to finish this series. Lacy Laurel, Connor Crais, and James Cassidy are all phenomenal narrators.

MFM Ménage Romance

Scandalous by Katherine Hawthorne is a MFM Ménage Romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Lacy Laurel, Connor Crais, and James Cassidy. This is the third book in the Sinful Surrender Quartet series.

The book comes with an author's note: "This book is intended for mature audiences due to explicit language and sexual content. Scandalous is a ménage romance that's all about the girl. There are NO M/M scenes."

This is the first series of Katherine's that I have read and it won't be my last. I was sucked in with the first book and can't wait to see how the series progresses. The relationship between Belle, Xander, and Sin became really messy in this installment. I can't wait to dive into the final book in the series Shameless to see if they can work out their relationship problems.

Lacy, Connor, and James did a great job on the narration. They really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like MFM Ménage Romances, Erotic Romances, or Romantic Suspense.

female lead is annoying as hell

Female narrator needs to NEVER EVER portray a male character EVER again. EVER. The lead female character is also a ridiculous "damsel in distress" type. Extremely obnoxious. Doesn't deserve either of the mouth watering and delicious cavemen. Glad she bolts. too bad it doesn't end here...
