Kissing Sin (2007) - Plot & Excerpts

It's back baby, and better then ever! Riley wakes up naked in a strange city. She's unaware how she got there, but soon finds out she's been missing for a while and is in a hidden laboratory/experimental facility. What's nice about this second installment is that the full moon has already passed and Arthur shows off her skills, blowing readers away with this crazy plot. The gene/cloning experiments are down right chilling in many parts of the book. Makes me want to start protesting gene experimentation. Despite the plot not revolving around the Moon Heat, it's still sexy! Sick of the sex hang-ups in other UF/PNR titles, let's have a woman own her sexuality! Of course Riley delivers. That hot mystery werewolf from the first book gets to step in and it's so great to have a love interest that I want Riley to get with. He might not get some front stage time yet, but I'm there! Yeah, I'm anti-Quinn. So far he's been a fun tumble in the hay for Riley, but I don't feel the emotions. In fact, everything he does makes me want Riley to dump him. Arthur keeps throwing in stuff like "we had a connection that just can't be explained" and junk like that. Please let your reader feel it because the only thing I'm feeling is Quinn's distaste for what, and who, Riley is. Except when he's getting some sex time. It's also fun watching Riley claim she doesn't want to be a guardian as fate pulls her into the role, and her complaints really aren't that convincing. She's going to be one no matter what. This is Riley's book of revenge from Talon and the bad guys need to get brought down a peg or two, yet the hero's don’t really win. It's a battle and no one is quite winning the war yet. Also, I can't emphasis enough how much I love that Riley has to work and solve the mystery! It's great to read a smart book and a smart lead.This is a heart attack of a book. My ereader could not keep up and I felt deprived I had to wait a second longer than necessary for the pages to turn. A fantastic follow up to a great new series and I'm hungering for more. The big master mind behind everything is looming on the horizon and I'm gnashing my teeth with a need to know! Strange enough—for me—I want to know what's going to happen next in Riley's love/sex life. In the end a sexy thrill ride with explosives (in and out of the bedroom) and a plot arc that I take my hat off to.Sexual Content: These books are hot! Riley does have casual sex, however this is not anywhere near erotica so ease your mind.4/5- Great! Really enjoyed it. Originally posted at Book Whispers.

Non posso credere che ho tolto ore di sonno preziose per questo schifo ._.Non appena saremo in salvo, ho intenzione di scoparti fino a farti perdere i sensi. DUE righe campione per mostrare il degrado del libro e la volgarità dell'autrice (il concetto poteva essere espresso in altri duemila modi..).Il libro è praticamente tutto così, inframezzato -ogni tanto- con un po' di azione e dialoghi idioti.Eccoci dunque al secondo match che vede in campo la nostra licantropo-vampira.La povera, dolce, amata, stupenda Riley è stata tradita da un amante, forse due(NB: tradita non con un altro licantropo, visto che tali esseri sono tutto tranne che monogami.. Tradita nel senso che il tipo ha fatto esperimenti genetici su di lei) e mollata da un altro (un sedicente vampiro, mica bruscolini! Il vampiro in questione ha dato una bella botta all'autostima di Riley, visto che tutti le cadono ai piedi.. I NO che aiutano a crescere, per capirci).Uno penserebbe che impari dai suoi errori e chessò, si faccia suora, no?Ovviamente no.L'amante di turno (conosciuto a pagina 5, nell'introduzione praticamente ._.) è un uomo mutante che diventa cavallo (puro sangue, of course).Si aprono le scommesse per decretare dopo quanto tempo i due fanno sesso..!Venghino signori! 80 pagine? 60..? 53..?Qualcuno rilancia? No? Bene, vince il banco. Iniziano a pagina 41. ._.Ah, vorrei sottolineare che sono in un posto sconosciuto braccati da orsi mutanti.. Ordinaria amministrazione.Detto ciò, anche questa volta Riley sarebbe da prendere e sbatterle la testa al muro con violenza, fino a che poi perde i sensi. Dai coraggio Seri, ne hai ancora un altro e poi fingeremo che questa esperienza non sia mai esistita.

What do You think about Kissing Sin (2007)?

I wasn't keen on this book for a number of reasons, but primarily because of all the sex. I mean, there is a lot of sex. I get that Urban Fantasy typically features sex scenes and that's fine, but I felt Kissing Sin veered too often and too enthusiastically into outright erotica. If you don't mind a lot of sex (at inappropriate times, in inappropriate places, and with implausibly well-hung horses) then this book is probably more to your taste than mine.I find Keri Arthur's world fascinating in parts - she has a good concept here and much of it was intriguing and interesting. I did at least finish the book (which is more than can be said for some UF I've picked up) becaues the plot was engaging and the intrigue was strong enough to keep me reading. But the constant breaks for mind-blowing sex became tedious, especially as the same words and phrases were used to describe it in each case.I had a few other niggles with the heroine (Riley) which spoiled my enjoyment somewhat. First off, her combination of half-werewolf, half-vampire means she has a power for every occasion. This shopping list of supernatural abilities sapped a lot of the danger because every time she got in trouble I found myself thinking "She'll just whip out a superpower and get out of this." And lo and behold, she did.There were also moments when I felt her motivation and reasoning were completely off.***SPOILER***For half the book, Riley is going on about how much she wants kids and how hard it is to be infertile. When her doctor discovers that she has become fertile for a limited time, I expected her to leap at the chance of having her dream - a biological child of her own. Instead, she dithers, makes excuses and decides she can't go ahead with trying to get pregnant. I felt this was more in service of the author's desire to keep her young, single, sexy protag having lots of sex with no responsibilities, than in service of the character. It felt like a character betrayal; her legitimate desires and wishes sacrificed to keep the story in line with the author's wishes. It felt forced and unbelievable.***END OF SPOILER***This wasn't a bad book overall but I feel it wasn't for me. Aside from the constant erotica, there were some errors in the writing and plotting that jarred with me and spoiled my enjoyment of the book. I think UF fans would enjoy this more than I did.

Storyline: Vampire/Werewolf hybrid Riley Jensen wakes up on what she later learns is a breeding ground where gene manipulation, cloning and creating cross-species is practiced even though it is against the law. They want Riley because she is one of the few cross species that survived. She escapes with the help of a horse shifter and finds herself plunged into the heart of the Directorate investigation to find and stop the people who are conducting such research. She barely escapes with her life after attacks by various species thanks to the vampire, who wants to sire children on her and in exchange gives her information about the people she seeks. Riley is determined to stop them so the attacks on her life will end and she can go back to the normal. Boring part: The fact that Riley can't stop talking about how large the horse shifter is. OF course, she has to have sex with him while they are trying to escape. Of course, the shifter ends up with the Directorate since he has special forces training. Of course, he has a stable of women, one of which is currently pregnant, but he still lays around with any woman he can find.Now, Riley not only has every werewolf attracted to her, but Kellen, an Alpha has his hooks into her as well. I believe the rampant sexuality and the fact that Riley will pretty much lay with everyone, has made me want to turn the pages as fast as I can. Ok, so, if you like lots and lots of sex, this is your series...no doubt about it.
