Juan Pablo Castillo, former #2 of Los P gang, now the boss man is in a world of unrequited love angst. He still carries a torch for his former boss and it hurts...he hurts. And his enemy's lackey, Devon McGhee is the perfect person to take his frustration out on. If only he could stop thinking about him. But he can't.When Dev and Juan Pablo start a scene, it leaves a trail of steam in their wake. These two have their secret rendezvous and I'm liking lots! Bad guys fucking...mmmhmmm hot! And everything was going swell because bad boys and I are like peanut butter and jelly when it comes to my fiction choices. Then 45% happens, BAM! I got donkey punched in my nonexistent balls!I so did not see that plot twist! In fact I had to investigate a past chapter to see if I noticed any clues. How the fuck did I not notice? Well done, Ms. Ashton. So Dev and Juan Pablo, to me their love was a case of insta-love but their struggles was worth the craziness of it all. I could taste their sexual tension. Rough sex, crazy ass antics (can you say strangulation and knife points anyone?) Both acts were in the heat of the moment and I love characters that great cray-cray for one another. But these men seem to tone it down for the most part. And we get glimpse of Angel and Gabe (yay!), Syren is still his naughty self and this Mateo...I want to play with him.Why not 5 STARS? Well the outcome of J.P.'s career...eh, tied up too neatly for me. Plus MANTEARS (while yes, it's less than book #1...I could have done without a few scenes of those) (I love this gif BTW)I rated [b:Love the Sinner|13615101|Love the Sinner (Brooklyn Sinners, #1)|Avril Ashton|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1335270883s/13615101.jpg|19216095] 3.5 stars. I kept feeling more feminine vibes from the male characters in book #1. Not so much in this "Sinner, Savior". I find book #2 to be better, somewhere in the 4-4.25 range.So in closing:Strangling is just another form of love -I learned something new.I anticipate more cray cray (hopefully) in the next book.
