This was nice quick and easy. I will be reading more. I read all the songs of submission books. Im glad that we get to find out more about Johnothans sisters! ( )

Spin by C.D. Reiss is a must read for lovers of erotic romance!

This book is mega hot and obsessive! Mobsters? Cars? Heck yes! This felt like General Hospital on erotica/romance steroids!

This is book 1 of 3, so I'm sure the following books are steamy and amp up this series, but for now I'll settle on reviewing Spin (which was in the A Love Thing anthology - highly recommend, by the way!).

Theresa, Daniel, Antonio, Katrina and Johnathan are exciting characters to follow in this book. Antonio's the mob boss, yet Theresa finds him highly attractive. Theresa and Antonio are the main leads, but the other characters are also lovable. Antonio gave me Sonny vibes (from General Hospital) but insanely hot and the perfect alpha male lead. Theresa is a career driven woman (I relate so hard to her) and isn't the Mary Sue or Plain Jane character some of these books tend to have.

Keep in mind, this book is not PG - it's hot and heavy! The sex scenes are steamy and will bring the summer heat! This is the "Fifty Shades" book we needed - hot, lovable characters and excellent writing!

This book is a roller coaster of action and romance, and C.D. Reiss lifts this book up to new levels. I definitely loved this book and would love to see more books by C.D. Reiss on my local bookstores shelves! I highly recommend this book and it's a must read on my shelf!

Four out of five stars!! ( )

*Note* For some bizarre reason this book is listed as
Rogue: (The Corruption Series #1) on Amazon.
You can NOT find it on GR by that title.
You can NOT find the title Spin On Amazon.
They are definitely the SAME book.

Genres; Adult, Contemporary, Erotica, Romance, Suspense.
3.75 Stars? I may change this to 3.5 which would change my stars to 3.

What cost this book stars:
Some areas were a bit disjointed, especially towards the end.
The push/pull, on/off between the MC's happened way to many times.
Areas that were a lot about nothing.

Interesting. I liked it a lot.
Both MC's are strong personalities.
Great sex scenes.
The story flows well most of the time.
You feel the connection between the MC's from the beginning and it burns hotter and wilder as the story continues.

More later while I ( )

CD Reiss did it again. The ultimate alpha male, a love like no other. It's a great continuation of Jonathan's story, yet you don't have to read Songs of Submission to get this book. Can't wait to read Ruin! ( )

I picked up Spin for two reasons, one of my favorite authors shared it and I love mafia romance. Spin is the first book in Corruption, the spin-off series of Songs of Submission. I haven't read Songs of Submission, but I did go a bit Amazon crazy and buy it, so now I can be caught up. However, I didn't feel like I missed anything when reading Spin and can confirm it definitely is a stand-alone series.

Teresa is recently single and the man with the pine-tree scent in the bar has caught her eye and she can't get him off her mind. Teresa's always the good sister, good friend, and good worker, she continues being a friend to her ex, Daniel, she watches after all of her siblings, and does everything she can to help everyone around her. She's in the midst of doing just that when she runs into the man again, Antonio Spinelli (Spin) is his name, he's a lawyer, and their attraction is strong. Giving into her desires to stop being so good, the two have an amazing sexual encounter. But as chemistry and feelings combine, can the two give in to trust one another? Especially when Teresa finds out Spin is the Capo of the Italian mafia and her ex-fiance just happens to be the DA.

"He wore a suit like a woman wore lingerie, to accentuate the sexual. To highlight the slopes and lines. To give masculinity a definition."

This is definitely the kind of book you have to experience for yourself, these characters both know their own selves, but together they find themselves wanting something completely different. Together the game changes. I absolutely found myself falling for Spin, he's the bad boy you can't help but want. Teresa could be...obnoxious, she's in your face and lacks street smarts, but watching her figure out her feelings for Spin and finally looking at herself for who she had become was interesting. Both characters know they're no good for the other, but they just keep on giving in. Thank goodness C.D. Reiss makes them give in, because woah those sex scenes! The combination of crime, drama, suspense, and romance kept me hanging onto every single word. There is definitely a lot going on, however there is no confusion of every character's position and what each character's end game is. The writing is fantastic, all descriptions are incredibly detailed, and the plot is given away in bits and pieces. I really loved that I didn't know what was coming next, that all loyalties were being tested, I just knew I wanted Teresa and Spin to be together.

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

I struggled with some of the interactions between Teresa and Spin, especially their second meeting, but in the end I really liked what they had. They are the kind of relationship you tell your friend to walk away from, especially with how on and off again they are. However, their chemistry, and obvious desire to protect one another, is what makes them a great couple. Spin is part of a trilogy, while the ending doesn't end in a cliffhanger (trust me, it's a good ending), it does leave things open for the next book. I'm giving Spin 4 stars, because it was just the tip of the iceberg for me, there's a lot more I want to know about these two and how they workout. ( )
