Born To Sin (Born #1)

HAMISH I was born to an alcoholic mother and alcoholic, drug dealing father. Not a good start to life for a young boy. I was born to sin. I've lied, cheated, assaulted, been an adulterer and stolen. It's how one survives the 'hood'. I have a reputation for being the 'bad boy', the fuck 'em and leave 'em type. I have never spent the night with a woman and I have never brought a woman home. We 'play' at her place and as soon as I'm done, I leave. After fleeing my home at the age of thirteen and living on the streets - an option I found better than being with my parents, my life is turned around by an elderly lady. I educate myself, become an award winning chef and return to the 'hood where I rent an apartment. I love and care about no-one and nothing except my Harley Motorcycle. It's here I met Jonesy and he takes my life in a whole new direction. Along with Wade, a fellow chef and the only person I can trust, the pair teach me how to love. Not only myself, but others. BLOSSOM I'm a wealthy Restaurateur thanks to an inheritance I received when my father passed. I live in a penthouse apartment in the 'rich' part of the city. Being pampered and spoiled all my life has turned me into a woman who sees something she wants and, like a dog with a bone, I won't let go until it's mine. I'm a winner. I ALWAYS win. I don't have relationships with men. One night stands suit me just fine. I can't trust it's me they want and not my money. I meet Hamish by chance when I'm on the hunt for a new Head Chef. He treats me like I'm not worth a second thought. I've never been treated this way and I decide at that moment, I will make Hamish mine. Hamish has no interest in the pampered Blossom but for some reason she gets under his skin. Then, something happens that makes him realize, he has fallen in love. Will it be too late? Will tragedy strike before he can hold her in his arms and confess his true feelings? **Sex scenes and language suitable for 18+ Goodreads Reviews: Two 5* reviews already from ARC readers. *I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review I am in love with Hamish! He has become my new book boyfriend! I licked him so that makes him mine right? This story had me in so many different emotions. Sometimes when reading I actually pictured my own husband who grew up in the "hood". I married my own real life bad boy "Hamish". A.L kept me guessing. She also made those scenes with Blossom HOT. This was my first read for 2016 and I know I will be reading it again and again! This will be my " I have nothing to read and I want something sweet, hot, sexy and wonderful" to read again book. For a first book I definitely loved it. Well done A.L *I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review This is AL Simpson's first book. Wow what a great first book. She will be on my favorite authors list from now on. This is a romance with a few twist but truly a sweet hot hot romance I would definitely recommend this book to others. Sweet and Hot **
