My power is absolute. My rules are law.

Structure.
Obedience.
Discipline.

I am in charge, and what I say goes. Black and white with no gray.
No one dares break the rules in my dark and twisted world… until her. Until she makes me cross my own jagged lines.
She’s untouched. Perfection. Pure.
Forbidden.
She tests my limits in all ways.
There is only one option left.

I will claim her as mine no matter how many rules are broken.

Another great one in the series.

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2020

I am in LOVE with this series.

Aria's father took something from Matthew so he takes something from her father. Her.

Matthew and Aria aren't meant to be together. They come from opposite sides almost. Enemies. But, love and hate, fear and lust are like two sides of the coin. Aria has no reason to trust anything Matthew says, but the same could be said about her father. Difference between the two is she somewhat admires Matthew. Definitely admires what he can do to her.

Matthew should hate her by her blood alone. Her father stole from him so he takes her for revenge. Some things are hardwired into Matthew and protecting women is one of them. While he may not want to want her, he does. That doesn't change his mind that she's a means to an end.

While they aren't supposed to be, they're meant to be. You can't change what you want. Who you want. But Matthew is a business man and he has his own way. Ruthless in almost everything. But her father being who he is, they can't be anything to the other and all things end. But as we've learned from these Spiked Roses guys, things hardly turn out how you first expected them to. And this is one connection you can't break.

One hilarious hot mess...

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2020

This was lame. Give me a story, not sex scenes strung together in the illusion of a plot. I think all the rave reviews must be from very young, first time readers who’ve never read a good book. The first person dialogue is truly funny...clichéd and amped up to sound tough and hip, but comes across as desperate and moronic. I don’t mind the F word. Used in the proper context, it can be perfect to get the point across. But overused, especially in the wrong context, it loses its power and sounds immature. That’s the problem with this dialogue. It’s teenager talk. Sometimes it was misused as a verb and other times as a noun. It was hilariously funny. First person dialogue reminded me of Joe Friday in the old Dragnet series. As in, the more serious it was, the funnier it got. The main voice of the book is Matthew Price (no solid character details)... The second voice is the resentful, 22 y/o Mafia Princess Aria Costa (she’s got brown hair). Matthew kidnaps her for revenge and leverage against her mafia kingpin daddy in order to get stolen property returned.
But:
1. Secondary character, Tennessee Charles’ name changes in ch.6 to Tennessee Williams (eye roll).
2. Matthew has an epiphany and realizes Aria’s a virgin, yet immediately AFTER they do the deed he says “I didn’t realize you were a virgin”, (Huh?) and then he apologizes and says again, “If I had known you were a virgin.....”. How old is he anyway? 16? (SMH)
3. Editing issues and misspelled words like stirring (steering) wheel...which I can put up with, but by now I’m just cranky.
4. Matthew claims his kidnapping Aria is a spontaneous, unplanned action. So why is he prepared with an array of clothes and hygiene products for her?
5. Aria says in ch 8: “The feel of submission & allowing Matthew to dominate was by far the most powerful, erotic feeling I’d experienced “. (Honey, you’re a virgin!!. Safe to say it’s the ONLY powerful and erotic feeling you’ve experienced...).
6. Ch 15- Aria catches the tip of Matthew’s tongue between her teeth, her way of warning him to stop kissing her. He says (with her biting his tongue, lol...), he says, “I wouldn’t do that if I were you. That kind of thing will get you flipped right back on your stomach...”, (he says this while he goes for his belt). Aria releases his tongue immediately. HOW DOES ONE TALK WHEN THEIR TONGUE IS BEING BIT BY SOMEONE ELSE? (I’m really crackin’ up now).
7. Here’s a doozy..”The deep tips of her toes groaned that she gifted me with as I did that...”(gave up trying to figure that out..)
Anyway, a rushed, poorly written mafia story with no mafia, no mean guys and no drama. None. Mafia kingpin dad comes across as a classless buffoon, flaunting gaudy finery. Matthew is supposed to be this tough, powerful badass in control, but is more like an immature dolt, acting without thinking. It became apparent that the story was merely a vehicle to move between sex scenes.

phenomenal read

Sinners & Gin is another phenomenal read in the Top Shelf series. You have some of your favorite Spiked Roses in this one and you will just love Tennessee even more in this one. This is Matthew's book and you will just love him. His dominance is just the right touch that Aria didn't know she needed and craved. Who is Aria you may ask? Well let me tell you she is a Mafia Princess whose daddy crossed Matthew. Yes this is a captive/captor romance that the chemistry runs red hot. Alta gives you everything you would want and more in this one. You even get a softer caring side of Matthew. I loved this book so much and really couldn't put it down. I love how I was sucked in from the very start. If you haven't picked up this series yet you need to.

I loved all the previous Top Shelf Books. This book is about Matthew Price. Matthew's paintings with diamonds were stolen by Mafia Kingpin Vittorio Costa. Matthew planned on making sure he got his property back. He got invites to a party at Vittorio Costa's home.
Matthew found Aria Costa watching people at the party. He kidnapped her from the party and took her to his home in Colorado. Matthew likes to punish Aria by using his leather belt when she doesn't submit to him. Aria is a stubborn girl. They spend a lot of time together. Will Matthew be ready to trade Aria for his property ? Is Aria ready to go back to her father ? I was given an arc of this book and this is my own personal opinion. 💖🐧💋

Good S/M

Reading about this type of kink is not my favorite, but as far as this goes, it's a good book. I felt the storyline was too big for only one short book. The whole thing felt rushed to me, as if the author needed to include all the sex scenes and have that big of a story but had to do it all within a limited number of words. Enjoyable, but could have been better, especially room this author.

I've been waiting for this next book in the Top Shelf series for what seems like forever! The passion is INTENSE, and the insta-love attraction is spot on between Matthew and Aria. The sparks fly so insanely hot that I couldn't stop reading. Another bites the dust from the owners of Spiked Roses, and I can't wait for the next one in line.

Ok read.

I was a little disappointed with this book, in as much that l felt it needed a more in-depth story line. Otherwise it was ok. I would really love a book about Tennessee. Maybe in the future?

It was a good story

Reviewed in Australia on February 17, 2020

It was an interesting story but I just wasn't feeling the female protagonist. I simply couldn't relate to her or like her. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what it was about Aria's personality that didn't mesh with me. The beginning was good and I could see the potential but the middle was just okay. Matthew was a great alpha male and I think he was the one that kept me going with the story. Also Tennessee was hilarious. I wouldn't describe the story as dark, it was more suspenseful in some regards. I would have liked some more tension and drama within the story. It seems like the story was mainly focused on Matthew and Aria which is fine. But I think there should have been more conflict and struggle even between the two protagonists. I feel as though Aria gave in too easily and her change came too quickly. There wasn't enough time for her to really grow and become the independent woman she could be. It was still a good story and I recommend others to give it a go.

Good writing

Reviewed in Canada on February 17, 2020

I really like Ms. Hensley's other books that I've read and I wanted to like this one more but a few things irked me and made it hard to enjoy the rest of the book.

The writing is really good, she's got a distinctive style and the sex scenes were really hot. That being said, Matthew's attitude and the dramatics between him and Aria had me rolling my eyes so hard. He has this plan to kidnap her and use her against his enemy, her father. But he's hot-headed and while he plans some parts meticulously he really doesn't think things through. Like how that is supposed to make her father return things he stole when he doesn't actually care that much about his daughter beyond being a piece of property.

The other thing that I found stomach turning was Matthew treating Aria like a whore - until he finds out she's a virgin and he says to himself that if he had known he would have done blah blah blah and "kept her forever". What? This trope of a woman being worthy of nice treatment only when her hymen is intact is off-putting and kind of offensive. Made it hard to read the rest of the book.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Compelling

Reviewed in Canada on February 17, 2020

I thought this book was very different to the others in the series as so little was about Spiked Roses and yet it was every bit a compelling as all the others. It was interesting that there was no violence since the dispute was between a Mafia Kingpin and one of the owners of Spiked Roses, but it was a nice change and right for the storyline. Matthew and Aria were like chalk and cheese but the passion between them was powerful. Tennessee was as delightful as he always is and provided some light relief from the tension. The ending was a pleasant surprise given the start and made this a unique book full of sex and passion and fulfillment.
