Soraya's done it again! I've loved all the books in her Chicago Syndicate series about the sexy alpha men in the present day Chicago Mafia, but she's done something a little different this time and written about anti-hero William Kade from 1900's Chicago, who not so coincidentally, owns the club that would one day become Club 7, which plays a big part in her Chicago Syndicate series. And although Sins could be called a 'historical romance,' she manages to put a modern spin on it by focusing more

I can honestly say this is one had me questioning if I was actually reading fiction. Each page was so expressive and illustrative. Every character had me mesmerized. I felt like I was in the 1900's.
The twists and depth this one took is seriously one to jump into and let yourself freefall into their world.
Soraya has definitely left me highly satisfied and waiting patiently to see what more twists she can write. I received an ARC for an honest and voluntarily review.

I knew this book sounded so familiar to me when the blurb came out - Soraya wrote this book about 5 years under a different title and it was exclusively sold on Radish. If there were any edits done to the story, I could not easily tell.
I am not a historical romance fan and probably won't become one. Not because of this book, just because it's not my thing. However, I did enjoy this story because I love Soraya's writing and she made I a bit more modern. She has a way with her words that bring her ...more

This is a departure from what I’m use to by Soraya Naomi but I loved it no less. William and Ivy’s story took me a rollercoaster of ups and downs and twists lurking around every corner and I enjoyed every minute of it. The story it self kept me engulfed the entire time and I really really enjoyed it.
Messed with ALL My Emotions!
Soraya went back in time where it all started for the Chicago Syndicate. Back to the original club on The Loop of Chicago. Back to the times of speakeasies and all the secrets and taboos hidden behind those closed doors. While I'm not a big historical romance reader, it was hard for me not to become entranced by William and Ivy's story. A story too intriguing and alluring with suspense and all its twists and turns, you can't help but enjoy the ride.

Oh wow!!! I loved this book so much. I'm not a fan of historical books but I received an ARC in return for an honest review. I'm so glad I read it. Soraya never disappoints. She has an amazing talent. Her books and characters draw you in from the start.
It's a pretty dark story at times with a lot of amazing sex scenes that puts 50 shades, and others, to shame. So if that's what you like to read, then look no further. Highly recommend this book. Cried like a baby too

Wow this is dark exotic tasty treat the way it unfolds like a wet dream come to life torchering every nerve of my being making me warm moist and intoxicated from one eye popping ravenous page to the next. This story was definitely smokin hot with an intriguing storyline that kept me thirsty excited and on edge from the very beginning to the jaw dropping en ...more
What an amazing book! Love it. This was my first historical romance and I loved it. I loved William and Ivy, she is the perfect match for him. William came from nothing and Charles saw potential in him and took him under his wing. He’s cocky, and very sure of himself in every aspect of his life and when he meets Ivy he has no idea just how much his life is about to change. Lies, deception, and betrayal are swirling everywhere, their story is emotional, suspense filled dark romance that you will

Not all love stories come together with hearts flowers and pretty bows. Ms. Naomi shows the sinfully savage, painfully haunting road love can take to get to its deliciously ever after.
An intricately weaved web storyline of deception, gambling, fight clubs, underground sex clubs, and mob activities, where the past catches up with the present. All set in a time where only the elite paid the high price to play- sometimes with their lives.

Even though I have Chicago syndicate series on my TBR list since forever, this was actually my first time reading a book by this author.
I also rarely read historical romances but this sounded too intriguing to pass and needles to say it was definitely worth it.

William and Ivy's story is filled with steam, danger, misgivings, and ultimately they come together in a way that you know is fitting for them. This was a delicious story with lots of twists and turns and a plot line that will grab you from the first page and keep you enthralled to the very end. Excellent story!
I normally don't like historical romances at all, but this one I loved! This book drew me in right from the first chapter. Loved how it flows into the whole Chicago syndicate series and club 7. This book has everything a reader wants in a book, gambling, sex, fighting and soooo much more. I totally fell in love with bad boy William Kade and sassy Ivy.
I received this book exchange for a honest review. I normally don’t like historical romance books but this book had me feel I like I was in the 1900’s and I was loving every moment of it. This book is steamy dark and suspenseful... I loved Williams and Ivy’s story.
Historical had never been my genre of choice but this book was so good. Loved reading about William and Ivy. This book was so steamy, dark and suspenseful. Loved it and I recommend it.
William and Ivy has plenty of twists, turns full of lies, deception, betrayal, suspense that will keep you hook from start to finish, Plus find out how Chicago Syndicate Club 7 is connect to William in the present day. A must read, I voluntarily reviewed this Advanced Reader Copy.
William Kade grew up in an orphanage until at 15 after killing his two abusive housekeepers and setting a fire he was taken in by Charles Lindon a British immigrant who had made it here in Chicago and a man who recognized in William someone like his earlier self who had scratched and fought his way out of slums to wealth. William became a club fighter and a good one who only lost when Charles and he needed to cover a bet. Now they were opening a sex club in addition to their fight and gaming clu

This is an historical romance, set in 1900.
"William Kade titillated most women and was rejected by none. He was sex and sin embodied."

I'm not too entirely sure about William in most of this book. He's very dominant, controlling at times, and very possessive of Ivy. William is a powerhouse in this book. He takes no prisoners in business, war or love.
"He had never felt desire like this. Inescapable. Explosive. Hazardous."

This book precedes the Chicago Syndicate books we all love. It tells the tale of William and Ivy and the first sex club on The Loop which eventually became Club7. It's set in 1900 so the times were ripe for a sex club with the secret proclivities of the wealthy during that time. William and his partner certainly deliver it with Sins, their Underground Sex Club. William is a man that's struggled to get where he is and resents the upper crust as a result of his early life. Ivy is part of the wealt

I don’t know if I can put into words what I just went through reading this book. It asked me to pay an emotional toll I wasn’t in the least bit prepared for. The story of William and Ivy is brutal and savage while also being beautiful and heartbreaking. I wasn’t expecting to be in tears by the end of their story, but that’s exactly where I ended up. For anyone who hasn’t read it yet, take note: keep the tissues handy, you’re going to need them. There’s not much I can say about the story itself t

Having read Soraya’s Syndicate series, I was interested in seeing how her venture into the dark historical genre would unfold. I tend to prefer stories that take place in modern times but was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed reading Sins. Soraya painted an incredibly vivid picture of Chicago in the 1900’s, allowing the reader to experience the story as if they were a part of it. The characters are interesting and the chemistry between William and Ivy is off-the-charts. There’s enough s

Soraya has done it again. An amazing story set in the 1900's in the Chicago Loop. I never thought I would like a historical book but this one was something else in the best way. William was an orphan in a bad situation. He soon meets Charles who ends up being his mentor and later business partner. Charles is wealthy and with William he runs his underground fight club, gambling, and a hardcore sex club. William is a fighter in more ways than one and doesn't lack the women's attention.
