Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet)

It can take time to feel proud of who you are.
Violet Kane is perfect. At least, that’s what people are supposed to think. She has the perfect career, the perfect presentation, and, until recently, she was engaged to the perfect man. To everyone around her, she's perfectly happy. But pretending to be happy is difficult when you're breaking apart at the seams. Be it with eighty-hour work weeks, nicotine dependency, or dark thoughts of just ending it all…Violet has used nearly every tool available to maintain her performance.
If only Violet could trust someone to take that desperate control away. To let her turn off.
Something is hunting Reyna Alvarez, and though she knows what it is, it doesn’t make it any easier to deal with. When she contacts the Court of Chains for help, she is confined to a secluded forest cabin for her protection. But hiding and submitting isn't in the nature of a Pride fiend.
So when a beautiful, stressed-out, high-strung woman appears at her cozy prison, Reyna proposes a practical arrangement. If Violet Kane were around—on her knees, no less—isolation might even be fun.
A Little Sin is a lesbian paranormal romance that depicts the highs and lows of coming out later in life and learning to live for yourself rather than someone else’s expectations.
Content note: This story features explicit content and themes that may be disturbing to some listeners. It is a complete standalone and can be listened to without knowing anything about the Court of Chains universe.

Such a CHARMING and PLEASURABLE sapphic read. Fantasy isn't typically a genre I get lost in, but this story had me hooked. The 2 main characters are charming, romantic, and relatable. I found myself wanting to keep reading the book simply so I could 'hang' with these women and listen to their banter. The spice is TOP TIER. It's explicit, yes, but never for the sake of 'shock.' In fact, all of the scenes make sense within the plot and the scenes truly work to either move the plot forward and/or...

Starting off with the notice that I received an advanced copy of this book so I've had time to read and re-read this book. However, my review is mine and mine alone and not influenced by that fact. I LOVED this book almost as much as I loved the previous book. Reyna is delicious and Violet is sooooo relatable that at times I wanted to cry or scream at her because I have made similar mistakes. Normally I am not one for the miscommunication/not communicating trope leading to a break-up trope, but...

I gave A Little Sin 4 stars. I found this book a little less interesting than Kiss Of Seduction, I think I just missed Natalya and Evie too much. I did really like Reyna, but I found Violet to be quite annoying at times. She’s too type A for me to relate to, although I liked her more by the end of the book. And I am less into the bdsm elements and sexual elements in this book. I know there will be lots of readers that will really enjoy this book. I did like having more Blake and Flea in this...

A Little Sin by Rawnie Sabor is easily one of my top five reads of the year! Sapphic romance with paranormal plot for the win! There were so many moments where I had to put the book down and scream “I love it so much!” and squeeze my eReader to my chest. The depth of characters, the on-page angst and inner thoughts, the relatable dreams and fears and humanity to these characters is done to perfection!! The book is THICK (thank goodness, because you’ll want to move right into the world) yet...

Rawnie Sabor has quickly become one of my favorite authors and A Little Sin does not disappoint! Incredibly sexy, yes, but also deeply meaningful and painfully sweet. This novel centers around the pain of living up to society's (your parents') expectations at the cost of your own happiness and the journey to finding out who you really are. Vi is desperate for a break from trying to live up to her mother's impossible expectations and Reyna is finally getting a chance to catch her breath after...
