BLURB:

Atlas Durand’s whole world is built from the spoils of his past. Joker’s Sin is the most popular gay club in all of Haven Hart. Many clubs have come and gone, none able to compete with Atlas and his enigmatic power over his patrons. He would do anything to keep it thriving and anyone who stands in his way will be met with serious regrets.

Toby St. Claire hates working at Vick’s Tricks and longs for his nights off so he can go to Joker’s Sin. Like everyone who steps foot into Atlas’s club, he’s taken by the owner himself and the magical pulse that owns him when he’s there. Joker’s Sin is Toby’s escape from his life and Atlas is his dream come true.

When Toby’s boss realizes he can use Toby to help take down Joker’s Sin and make Vick’s Tricks the club to beat in Haven Hart, it turns everything upside down. Lies, deceit, and corruption threaten to tear Atlas and Toby apart. Is their love strong enough to survive it all or will they become victims of mayhem?

REVIEW:

Although this book is set in Haven Hart, as was the previous series, the cast of characters is entirely different. What is not different is the excitement and action. Once again, the author writes about hard men who do hard things, and soft men who keep them on the straight and narrow…relatively.

The book show more of the author’s progression as the writing is more sophisticated than ever. I’m not going to pretend it’s perfect, because it isn’t. There is still plenty of room for improvement and fussy readers will no doubt pick up flaws. However, I maintain what I have always said about this writer – the story and characters carry everything and smooth out the roughness.

We were introduced to Atlas and Joker’s Sin in the previous Haven Hart series, and I was delighted to get to know them both more up close and personal. It was both illuminating and heartbreaking to hear the story behind Joker’s Sin and its quirky name.

Both Atlas and Toby were very well rounded characters and were always absolutely true to themselves. If they did something out of character it was acknowledged and not sloppy writing.

Anyone who read and loved the original Haven Hart series will love Joker’s Sin just as much. Okay, Atlas and Toby are no Christopher and Snow, but I doubt that any characters written in this series will come up to the ideals of Snow and Poe (yeah alright I’m obsessed with Poe – so bite me), but I’m looking forward to seeing what else this talented writer comes up with and to follow her continuing journey.
