***You do NOT need to read Songs of Submission to read Spin***
Mafia capo, Antonio Spinelli blew through my orderly life like a cyclone.
Gorgeous and passionate, with a breathtaking brutality, he put me under his spell the moment he touched me, drawing me into his underworld of risk, violence and betrayal.
And I found, just as this sophisticated savage didn’t trust me, I didn’t trust myself. Something happened to me. Some alchemy from the heat between us.
I discovered I was a savage, too.
**MATURE AUDIENCES–Rough sex. Dirty talk. Criminal activity. Cursing. Fisticuffs. Closed course. Professional driver. Do not try this at home.**
As much as I loved Songs of Submission by CD Reiss, Spin—and the upcoming books in the Songs of Corruption series—are quite different. There is still the hard, hot, and heavy sex, the quick-moving storyline, and the underlying suspense I couldn’t wait to figure out. Theresa is self-assured, yet also vulnerable; Antonio is taken by surprise at his own vulnerability, yet self-indulgent. Spin is a fabulous start to a three-book series that can be read completely standalone from the Songs of Submission series. I suggest either reading it before the others in the series are released or waiting for the other two. Read Spin for the eroticism and fantasy of throwing it all away for the baddest of the bad boys.
