**ARC received from Fido Publishing via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review**

5 Double Kiss stars..

Bloody brilliant..

I was trembling with excitement going into this. I adored the Songs of Submission series, not just for the fabulous storytelling, but the way in which I was drawn, all but physically, into the book.

To say I was again enraptured by this wonderful wordsmith, would be an understatement. Spin was a passionate, brutal, collision of two worlds. Refined, wealthy, successful Theresa ...more

The author CD Reiss never ceases to amaze us!!!

An ARC was provided to me by the author.

CD Reiss, after writing the greatest romance series ever, Songs of Submission, where we met Jonathan and Monica now does something extraordinary. She takes possession of all of the sisters of Jonathan and will be writing their stories in the coming years. But it is not just that. If this new series, Songs of Corruption, that starts now with Spin, the first of three books, is any measure, and I think it is, the ...more

Admittedly, it took me a while to get into it, but once I was, I was hooked into the world. Love Spin's hot and dangerous protective side. Definitely will be looking for the next one. I'm horribly jealous by Reiss' ability to use simile and metaphor. Very nicely done. ...more

4.5 CAPO STARS!!

"Okay, I said. "I'm listening. Antonio is what... in the mafia?"
"Yes."
"You mean there's still a mafia?"
"Yes, Virginia, there is still a mafia."

I'm a huge fan of Songs of Submission, you don't HAVE to read SOS to enjoy Spin, but I recommend that you do. Before or after, it doesn't matter! Jonathan Drazen is stamped on my heart, so sue me!!

I can't tell you how excited I was to finally get my greedy hands on this book!!!!
I love CD Reiss' writing style and her ability to paint such a ...more

Feb 01, 2014 Laura rated it it was ok

To say I was disappointed is an understatement. I was anticipating this release and could wait to get more CD REISS. This book fell quite short for me. One I hate Jakie collins, and this book seemed to take on her style both in the writing, the scenes and the characters. Couldn't related and couldn't wait to finish this. 2 stars because I know what MS Reiss is capable of, but this booked truly sucked. ...more

4.5 Stars ~ Intense, raw and gripping! Honest review in exchange for the ARC I received through NetGalley.

Spin, what a fitting title for what my mind went through reading this. Antonio Spinelli, is a very intense and alluring character. At first glance, his charm makes you think he can't possibly be guilty of all the accusations flying around, confusing the growing attraction Theresa has towards him because she knows there's more to him than meets the eye. But then his complexities begin to show 4.5 Stars ~ Intense, raw and gripping! Honest review in exchange for the ARC I received through NetGalley.

Spin, what a fitting title for what my mind went through reading this. Antonio Spinelli, is a very intense and alluring character. At first glance, his charm makes you think he can't possibly be guilty of all the accusations flying around, confusing the growing attraction Theresa has towards him because she knows there's more to him than meets the eye. But then his complexities begin to show and she's smart enough to piece together the puzzle that is Spin. Her past makes an unwelcome entrance, her Ex and also the DA hot on Spin's heels, and she must choose between her unresolved feelings and lingering loyalty or protecting the man who put the spark back in her spirit, making her feel alive and with purpose again.

"Contessa." His voice was rough.

"Capo." I leaned on the door, looking up at his eyes. They flinched when I called him that then warmed.

"Send me away," he said "Slam this door in my face."

I stepped aside and let him in.

"I tried to stay away. I've never wanted a woman this much in my life. I'd burn cities to have you. I'd fight armies. I'd commit murder to take you right now."

Once Theresa decides her fate, lines are crossed and many loyalties tested. She's not one of them and it doesn't settle well among Spin's people. They both make mistakes that could endanger their lives and everything Spin has worked for. Spin must make the hardest decision of his life...keep the woman he loves beyond reason, who drives him crazy or let her go to save them both from hell.

"It's just done, Theresa. Over."

I blinked, and a tear fell. What had I done?

"This is not what I want. I'm in the life, I'm damned. I know this. I cannot come home to a woman I'll share hell with. Please just go. I don't want to see you again."

His words tightened in my gut, twisting my insides to jelly.

"Get out."

I waited for him to change his mind. I was a coward. I couldn't fight for him. I didn't know how.

I enjoyed Spin and Theresa, both strong leading characters. The plot is full of action, mystery and torrid Spinelli 'love'. Highly recommend! ...more

Although I've only read Songs of Submission, Songs of Domination and now Songs of Corruption, in my mind C.D. Reiss will always write books that I love. Spin is no exception. Can't wait for Fiona. ...more
