Truth and Lies #2
A Torment of Sin
My own refusal to leave brought me to this moment.
Pain is not a lie.
And there he stands, watching, waiting.
Everything seems surreal under his scrutiny. Or maybe that's just this castle and it's dark, obscure walls where time is endless. It's distorted and murky, and yet more real than anything has ever been.
My friend Gray.
Not just a hero anymore, but a need.
And I'm consumed by that need.
I'll dwell in this reality with him until I'm either lost or found.
Broken or evolved.

This is book two in the trilogy and it started where we left things previously.
It was a Hedonistic romp of all things decadent and extreme and here Hannah is thrown further down a rabbit-hole of exploration and wickedness.
She doesn’t seem to know really what she wants only that Gray is somehow at the centre of it all for her, he is the connection.
Gray is equally struggling with his attraction and the magnetism and allure that Hannah holds for him.
On the one hand, he wants her and what she offers but at the same time he is still feeling a deep sense of protectiveness towards her.
The two extremes constantly clashing and affecting his actions.
This really was such an unconventional read of lust and constant mayhem.
I’m also now dying to know what is actually behind all Gray’s reticence and disconnection and can’t wait to find out what his deal is.
This one was well written and very different.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of A Torment of Sin.

I practically inhaled A Distraction of Lies and was overjoyed when A Torment of Sin came out only a few weeks later!
I hate waiting a year for the next book in a series to be written.
Yes, I’m spoiled and impatient.
This one picks up where book 1 ended.
And O...M...G! It is so intense.
HANNAH
I’m totally crushing on Hannah. Not because she’s hot - even though she is - but because she’s doing something I have wished I could do at several points in my life.
She’s reinventing herself and giving zero fucks to what anyone else thinks.
She’s thrown caution to the wind and is unapologetically coming out of her cocoon with a big ‘fuck you’ to those who would try t control her.
I love it.
It looks like in her journey of self-discovery she has attracted Gray’s full attention. And that might be a little more than she can handle.
But she wants more.
She wants all of him and she will accept nothing less.
Be careful what you wish for, right?
I felt a little lost with her throughout this story and I think that’s on purpose.
We’re not meant to fully understand another person’s discovery of self. Their journey.
One soul’s ‘crazy’ is not for another soul to understand.
GRAY
HOLY SHIT!! In my last review, I asked what he was holding back and was desperate for him to drop his control.
And let me tell you, lassies when he drops it...he fuckin’ drops it! All of it!
Hannah wanted him all and that’s what she got.
This man has so many layers and a darkness he’s been keeping locked up for a long freakin’ time.
So when Hannah and his friends push him past the point of no return...well shit. I’m still trying to catch my breath.
The whole book takes place in Malachi and Fath’s home.
A sinfully sexy club of sorts.
Basically you leave the outside world at the doorstep on your way in and pick it up again on your way out.
Also, leave your morals and societies expectations there too.
Hedonism at its finest.
With Gray being a chemist he has plenty of happy and loopy pills and they either enhance or dull your emotions. Hallucinations are common, lol.
The whole book was surreal.
It made me wanna try things...naughty things...depraved things.
It’s one giant mind fuck.
Imma need exact directions to this place please Ms Hart!
SEX SCENES
Buckle up bitches because this is a wild ride!
I’ve denied myself this for years, watched and done nothing other than touch myself and none of them. Not this time. My clothes get discarded and the belt goes to her open mouth, my hands shoving it across her teeth. “Bite down, this will hurt.” It does hurt her. It’s endless, as I drive myself into her ass again and keep stretching that pussy wide open. I find a dildo from the racks and use it, harshly opening her ass up as I fuck into her, and then I use the belt again on her back, ribs, shoulders. She’s yanked, tugged, pulled into any position I can think of using and fucked again from a new angle, all the time keeping her eyes forward so she can keep watching the men fucking like she said she wanted. She gets that. I get this. My mouth moves over her raw skin, biting, licking, sucking. Ass, cunt, nipples and bones. Anything I can get my teeth to or taste with my tongue is devoured and not given fair warning for the pain that’s coming because of them. Warnings aren’t for people like her or me. Not now. She knew. She felt the power of me in her, on her. And yet still she pushed for her dance. Her one dance. Each time I come it blends into the next eruption, brings a new sensation because of her voice, tone and pleas egging me on for more, regardless of her same pleas for leniency. She’s not getting any. Not here. She’s got her fantasy to watch, and I’m using mine for as long as I’m able. Ferocious, feral thoughts push me onwards, years of holding back and containing finally finding freedom to commit sin after sin after sin. I’m fogged over, misted in animalistic lust for her skin and unable to hear anything but her and her desperation, whether that be for more or less. I eventually drag her limp body from the floor and push it towards a wall, not finished regardless of coming repeatedly inside her, on her. It’s in her mouth, in her hair, on her face and in her ass. And I’ll go again and again until I can’t move anymore and I’ve come more times than I can remember. She groans and hangs onto me, letting me use and abuse anything I feel like using on her. Every hole, every thought delivered without remorse or guilt or shame.
Final Thoughts os A TORMENT OF SIN by Charlotte E Hart
Just like at the end of the first book, I am desperate for more! I love these characters. It’s one of those books that you keep thinking about and picturing for days after you read it.

A Torment of Sin is book 2 in the Truth and Lies series by Charlotte E Hart. This book is not for the faint at heart and brings BDSM clubs to a whole new level. The interaction between the characters is a tough one to follow, not because of the writing but because each of the main characters are so tortured and for different reasons. In book one A Distraction of Lies we learn what torments Hannah Tanner and learn by the end of the book what Grayson Rothburg has in mind to distract the hurting and confused woman. Now in A Torment of Sin we get to see that Gray is a lot more complex and broken then we realized. This makes him interesting yet confusing but that is part of the mystery, ‘Why is Gray the way he is?’ A Torment of Sin is a sexy, hot and heavy BDSM story that will leave you reeling. 5-stars for A Torment of Sin by Charlotte Hart.
Hannah has found herself at a forbidden secret castle in snow covered mountains. She is trying to forget and there is only one man that she wants to forget with, Grayson Rothburg. Gray promised a distraction and he’s given Hannah one, but now Hannah wants more from Gray. Gray has spent years solidifying his way of thinking and of being alone, working on his research for new medicines he doesn’t have time for anything or anyone else. Now Hannah wants him to give into her and loose himself as she is doing, to evolve into someone new. Grayson is tormented by something in his past and even if he lets his walls down will it be enough for Hannah to sneak in and find him? Does Gray need saving just as much as Hannah does?

Sometimes the story reels you in, so that at the end trying to explain it to another gives way to confusion.
This way lies danger and deceit, maybe some lies and a bit of truth. For Hannah and Gray, the continuation in this world he has entered for her, it's like a rabbit hole and she's a bit like Alice. Does that make Gray our Mad Hatter or the White Rabbit?
Caught up in a world where every desire and fantasy can be catered for and the excesses of the flesh are looked upon as run of the mill. Will Hannah lose herself with every touch that Gray gives her, or will she finally find herself and maybe free the man inside of Gray.
Such an interesting read, the main characters keep you hooked onto the page, but the side characters also leave you thinking what's their story. A highly recommended read.
Be aware for those who may have triggers, the use of drugs is mentioned and done.

By Charlotte E. Hart
5 stars
Ooohhhh it’s getting good!! Gray and Hannah’s relationship takes a different turn in the second instalment of the Truth and Lies series by Ms Hart! Hannah finds herself getting deeper and deeper into Malachi’s world whilst trying to find the new her. Gray, who is delicious by the way, is struggling with what he sees and I loved trying to guess just what he was going to be pushed to! I love how Ms Harts writing completely drags me in to the point where the outside world kind of doesn’t exist for a while and to be honest I’ll happily stay with Gray forever!! The story ended with me desperately wanting to find our Gray’s truths so I am definitely looking forward to the fins book in the trilogy to find out just what Gray is hiding!!!

Well, I really don't know where to begin with this, the second book in the Truth and Lies Series. So much happens, yet so little.
So much is discovered. But for every discovery, there's even more hidden.
Gray and Hannah fly off to a cold land. A land of debauchery. Where it seems just about every whim or desire is catered for.
Malachi and his wife, Faith, have this place for the rich, the depraved and those seeking...everything...
Hannah is on a journey of self discovery, with a desire for Gray at the forefront of her mind. While he, Gray, is so deep and hidden that you could believe the man soulless, except for his hidden desire for Hannah which he eventually admits to.
When Gray gives in to that desire...holy hell!!!
When's book 3 out??? I HAVE to know the outcome!

Gray and Hannah accept the lies of what is real and what appears to be truth if only for a few days. Gray whisks her away to a castle in the snow where the best of fantasies are brought to life with the help of Malichi and Faith.
Hannah is not Mrs. Tanner anymore.
She is reinventing herself as the Hannah who teetered on the threshold of pleasure and pain. Where light and dark present something "pretty". Gray is her guide. Gray is her friend. Gray is her every thought. Gray leaves her alone. Why?
The Truth and Lies books have my mind circling around and reliving the dark beauty of Hannah and Gray's transformation. Book three cannot get her fast enough. I adore all of these characters!!

Omg! Wow!
This is the second part of the trilogy and begins exactly where book 1 ended. It's left me breathless, at times, and full of all sorts of emotions.
Hannah is really coming into her own and finding her way of realising what she wants. She grows considerably in this book finding a strength within herself and knows that Gray is at the centre of it, but that comes with its own confusion.
Gray seems to grow too in this book, and is more conflicted, the more time he spends with Hannah. I really can't wait to find out the reason he is the way he is.
It's a book I really couldn't put down and has left me wanting more and can't wait for the last part to be released.
This book is another fantastic gift from Charlotte, with lots of twists and turns that just keep you on the edge of your seat and begging for more!!

Book two in the Truth and Lies series was brilliant. Make sure you read book one A Distraction of Lies first.
This continues where book one ends. This story is everything I wanted and more. It messes with my head and is hot and sexy at the same time. Gray and Hannah are two brilliant main characters and I keep wanting more of them.
As much as I loved it I can’t wait to read the next book as I’ve got more questions I need answering.

A Torment of Sin started where A Distraction of Lies left off. Grayson Rothburg had offered Hannah a distraction and it gave Hannah a chance to escape from reality. In book one Hannah had discovered her now deceased husband had been cheating on her. He got his comeuppance when he died.
In A Torment of Sin I think that Malachi is trying to force Gray’s hand in admitting that he wants Hannah. I believe that Hannah becomes a pawn between Malachai and Gray. I kept running in the back of my mind asking is she broken?
I really need to know what is next but I am a little worried. I thought that the first book was bordering on the edge of my comfort zone. Well I am going to admit this was definitely out of my comfort zone. Yet, I need to find out the conclusion to Gray’s and Hannah’s story. The next book is A Sorrow of Truths coming in August. 3.5 stars

The second book in the Truth and Lies series and it does not disappoint. It picks up right were A Distraction of Lies left off and take you even farther into the dark minds of Malachi and Gray. One wants to make Hannah stronger so that she can move on in life the other wants to play dark games with her to infuriate the other. It is so wickedly good that I am choosing to re-read them both over again. The world in which is being introduced in the stories is one that I have not read before. Yes I have read about drugs, sex, and BDSM but this series takes a unexpected spin on these subjects. And because of that I am drawn to wanting to read more about it. I recommend this book to the 18+ readers wanting to go on a ride of the unknown. And to be reborn with Hannah.

The words in the title are perfect for this book. A continuation from book one, it is packed full of Gray and Hannah's continuing intense journey of...well is it discovery or distraction, or both?
"Take it all before you can’t. Live it,” he drawls quietly. “Better to go too far, than not far enough.”"
Torment, decadence, sensual, seductive, pain, confusion, sinful, secretive and f@#k with your mind hedonism. Then add the even more mysterious Malachi into the mix, is he a help or a hinder. What is his game? Is he cruel or kind, has he got all the control or is he as lost and broken as Gray and Hannah? I have no idea what to make of him and his relationship with his wife Faith, but he seems integral to their story.
Hannah is evolving the deeper she gets, but it's still unclear if she's slightly crazy for accepting everything without question or has just let go of all fear and inhibitions in her quest for self discovery. Her connection with Gray however is getting stronger, even if he's in denial.
As for the enigmatic Gray, the author let us see a tantalising glimpse of the man beneath his veneer of stone. Damn it, it wasnt enough!! Why why why can't he let go and take what he quite clearly wants and needs? He is an enigma and I cant wait for his granite walls to tumble to reveal his truths.
I hesitate to refer to BDSM here as it is far from what I'd call conventional. There is submission, pain and pleasure, but is not for the faint hearted. It is dark, twisted, pushes boundaries and is not always comfortable to read, but is equally an intriguing and enthralling page turner of a story I didn't want to put down.
You are a wicked tease Charlotte E Hart but it certainly makes me want more and the third and final part can't come quick enough!!

This is book two in the series and unable to put this down just as much as the first if not more. I can't wait for the next book to find out more and more about Gray and Hannah. They both are lost and want to find their way, but can't stop being pulled towards each other. This book pulls you in and all I wanted is to find out more about these two and find a way to keep them together.

This book was a lot, yet not enough. Along with Hannah, I need answers. All of them. I can't get enough of these characters, and need to know their deepest darkest secrets.
As per usual with Charlotte, I'm left wanting more......

Book two in the Truth and Lies series, and it keeps getting better and better. Hannah is continuing to find herself, with Gray continuing as her guide, though I feel that we still don't know Gray I believe there is alot more to come in regards to why he is the way he is.
In the book we get to learn more about the other characters though I'm not sure how i feel about Malachi. He is a strange one for me, again another fantastically dark read and I'm eagerly awaiting bk 3 highly recommended 5 stars loved it

Amazeballs!!
I didn't think Charlotte Hart could beat book 1, but she absolutely smashed it!
The story continues for Hannah and Gray and boy do they go deeper and deeper into the darkness. This book takes you through so many emotions you wont know what to think. One moment I hated Gray then i loved him, then hated him and loved him again. The things i would actually allow that man to do to me doesn't even bear thinking about!
I am soooooo excited for book 3!

Charlotte Hart has a real gift at leaving you wanting more! This was a great book, continuing Hannah's story and her growth, trying to figure out who she is as a person now. But it raises more questions about Gray, and as I said, you're left wanting more! I can't wait for the final book!

I was so happy to get to read part 2 of 3.
I felt the writing in this book was a bit stilted, especially near the beginning. This may be to represent the mindset of the characters, but I did find it a little distracting, it didn’t stop me getting into this book though.
In part 2 we delve deeper into the minds and dynamics of Hannah, Gray, Malachi and Faith. My question still is ‘What is Gray hidining?’ I have many theories, but I am hoping book 3 will finally reveal the truth 🖤
Charlotte has been her usual mischievous self and leaves you wondering what on Earth is going to happen next? And if it is left to Malachi, it will not be pretty.
Do not be disillusioned! This book is DARK and I loved every page of it.
Well done Charlotte E Hart!
Now bring on book 3 😍

I was very kindly offered an ARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I have give A Torment Of Sin five stars.
Wow!!
Just when you thought this series couldn't get any better, Charlotte E. Hart then goes and proves you wrong.
I love her writing style. It's dark, intense and always a little gritty. Rainbows and fluffy unicorns are not to found here.
The characters are all a little broken in their own way and they seem to be drawn to each other in an opulent world of hedonism and sex. The characters are all full of passion and the chemistry between them is off the scales! Just like the first book, I devoured this one in no time at all. Charlotte is able to draw you into this dark world of fantasy and keep you bound until the very last word. I now find myself waiting impatiently for the next book.

This is a very pull you into the pages and take a dark twisted ride through a rabbit hole of looking who you are about. This is amazing series and we'll have you hooked tell the very end as it gets to be a very intense dark erotic read.

My friend Gray.
Not just a hero anymore, but a need.
And I'm consumed by that need.
I'll dwell in this reality with him until I'm either lost or found.
Broken or evolved.

A Torment of Sin is the second book in the Truth and Lies trilogy and continues on from where A Distraction of Lies ends. I was desperate to learn more about Gray and Hannah after the first book, and so very thankful that there isn’t a long wait between each novel releasing because after reading this instalment of the story, I am once again left craving more!
I was left wondering if Gray would become Hannah’s hero or villain and I am honestly still undecided. Just when I thought I was starting to figure Gray out, I was quickly veered off course. He has secrets that I am desperate to discover. I saw sides to this man that were totally unexpected. The author showed me some parts of Gray that I had been desperate to learn about but now I have different questions that need answering..... and this excites me.
Hannah has found herself in the perfect place to acquire the distraction that she was yearning. There have been times when I have been jealous of her - witnessing her escape from reality, whilst discovering herself too. However, there were times when I wanted to be there for her, to care for her and I was also worried about her. I admire her for seizing the opportunity that was presented to her but I do wonder where this will all lead and how she will feel if she ever returns to face her demons.
The chemistry between Gray and Hannah is undeniable. They have a fascinating connection too. I absolutely loved witnessing the turmoil that Gray is putting himself through – he definitely wants Hannah and is very protective of her but just when you think that the tide is turning, he puts his barriers up again. I would love to see them together in a relationship because I believe that away from Malachi’s castle they would be good for each other. I find Malachi intriguing. I cannot comprehend what game the man is playing (it certainly seems to me that he is playing games), which is why I would love to see how Gray and Hannah are together when away from his influence and back on home ground.
I am absolutely loving this series. My mind is buzzing with all the possibilities of where this story will go. I’m not placing any bets though because I’m certain that in true Charlotte E. Hart style, I need to prepare myself for the unexpected.

A Torment of Sins
By Charlotte Hart
“I’m not doing hurt anymore. The slap didn’t hurt. The shove to the floor didn’t hurt. Being dragged here harshly didn’t hurt either. They felt like something. Anything. Painful maybe, but nothing compared to what happens in my head when I remember.”
A Torment of Sins is like an erotic waltz, that has you constantly spinning. Each moment spent with these unique characters, is like watching a movie unveil itself.
“So many thoughts now, all of them laced with no care to memories passed or times to come. I can be free here. Live and enjoy the time we have.”
Hannah and Gray continue their journey into a dark abyss of sex, drugs and hidden feelings. Every pill, every kiss, every corner holds a promise to forget the secrets of the past. But when Hannah and Gray fall too hard, a battle of fantasy vs reality ensues, leaving Hannah confused and Gray frustrated.
“Too much.
Not enough.
Everything.
He’s here with me, and I’m here with him. Together. Both of us giving into something that is so deeply engrained I don’t know how to fight it any longer.”
Again, Charlotte has sent us for a spiralling rollercoaster ride with A Torment of Sins. Each page holds something ominous and sensual, making this book hard to put down. You will want to yell at Hannah and Gray for their stubbornness. You will want to turn away when the secrets of their journey start to come out of the shadows. And when you finish A Torment of Sins, you will look to the sky and ask “why?? WHY???”
“Whispered words. Words in ears that had sentiment and feelings attached to them, breathed through lips as she got closer and closer, clung on tighter and tighter.”
Please read A Distraction of Lies before you read A Torment of Sins!

A Torment of Sin by Charlotte E. Hart is the second in the Truth and Lies Series. This book picks up right where the first book left off with Hannah and Gray. A Torment of Sin is the perfect title for this unconventional tense read. It’s dark, it’s sexy, it’s deep and scary, but more it makes one crave for more.
In book once we get Hannah and everything that makes her who she is. In this one all I wanted was more of Gray. Who is he? What makes him tick? Why is he the way he is? Where did the pain he carry come from? A Torment of Sin delivers a whole new world to the BDSM scene, one that I don’t think I was completely prepared for, but one I couldn’t put down.
Hannah finds she is asking more from Gray, more of him than he is willing to share that is. He gave her the distraction she needed so badly, but now she wants real. Grayson however, has spent his life alone, planned it that way, made it that way to fan the flames of his own pain. The attraction between Hannah and Grayson is strong, and it takes everything he has to resist it. Can he keep his walls up? Does Gray need Hannah as much as she needs him? What about his past?
*Deep breath*
I have never had so many questions about a book before in anything I have ever read. Grayson is a surly, lonely man with a hard past he wants to forget. His past is causing my imagination to spiral out of control; what happened to cause that amount of pain and why is he that way? It’s like finding a really good-looking book, but not knowing what the story inside contains. The next book is going to be the best of the series, that I know already.
*Trigger warning for both graphic scenes and BDSM*

A Torment Of SIn by Charlotte E. Hart is the 2nd book in the Truth and Lies Series. This continues the story of Hannah Tanners and Grayson 'Gray' Rothburg, so you really should read the previous book 'A Distraction Of Lies' before starting this one. Their story picks up where we left off and it was still burning the pages up. Hannah and Gray are both struggling with their feelings toward one another. Gray wants to release his dark needs but he still has protective feelings toward Hannah. But Hannah is liking the new women she is become with Gray. Both are growing and learning more about themselves with each day that passes. This book does end sitting you up for the next installment into their story. Ms. Hart brings so many emotions out when reading her books. Yes, they are spicy hot with the dark tones but she gives us other feelings too. I can't wait for the next installment. I do recommend this author and series.
