About this listen

Twenty-something Kat Reid is loving life as an in-demand Hollywood makeup artist. She has absolutely no interest in rock 'n' roll, but in order to pay the mortgage, she agrees to work on the set of a rock video for the world-famous rockers known as Bad Habit...which brings her face-to-face with Nico Nyx, lead singer of Bad Habit and Adonis in the flesh.

However, the fiercely independent Kat isn't impressed by the hard-living, womanizing rock star. But when Nico's model girlfriend shows up to the set drunk and Kat is tapped to replace her as the video's sexy bride, her combustible chemistry with Nico suddenly threatens to consume the set. Nico feels it, too—and becomes determined to win Kat over, body and soul. Yet behind his rock god swagger, Nico hides a dark secret. Can he rock Kat's world forever, or will he just break her heart?

Sweet As Sin was a little darker than I anticipated with plot filled with suspense, secrets, and a little danger, but was balanced out with a little humor, instant chemistry, and a few steamy scenes.

Some Spoilers;
Nico and Kate are an unlikely pair, he's the lead singer of Bad Habit, she's a make-up artist. Told only from Kat's POV, she meets Nico while on the set to do make-up for Nico, his girlfriend, and the band as they get ready to shoot their next music video. Nico's girlfriend is high, incapacitated, and unable to preform in the video. Instead of them rescheduling, he has Kat fill in for Avery. There's an immediate attraction, but Kat doesn't want anything to do with Nico because he has a girlfriend. Nico denies Avery is his girlfriend, and starts pursuing Kat. Once he convinces Kat he's single, they start a relationship. From the beginning, you get glimpses of Nico's slightly darker side. He doesn't handle his anger very well, but he's never abuses to Kat. One night while Kat is spending time with Nico at his place, Avery shows up. Nico doesn't hesitate to leave Kat's side to take care of Avery. Kat gets angry, breaks things off because Nico basically tells her, Avery will always come first. What Kat doesn't know Nico and Avery share a dark secret about their relationship. Everyone things she is his girlfriend, but their relationship goes much deeper. Nico may be a rock star, but his life before stardom wasn't pretty, and now his past is catching up to him, and affecting his and Kat's relationship.

Sweet As Sin had an interesting plot, not too dark, and filled with secrets that kept me engaged. I would have loved to have heard some of Nico's POV. It's definitely an instant love story, and while Nico's character had a way with words, the sex scenes were mild IMO. Nico did use sex as a way to express his anger, but it wasn't over the top.

The narration was good.

Most definately a great book, I listened to it straight... didnt even want to sleep. love the storyline, main charecters were mature and well developed. Story was well paced, I didnt feel like it was rushed.

The narrator wasnt the best, I had to speed up the performance just so i could enjoy the storyline, she wasnt horrible either.

I will definately be listening to others in the series!

Absolutely Fabulous!!

I really love the story because I'm in to this kind of love story, but let me tell you that there was a lot of stuff almost copy from other books.

Love the story but...

The first book was amazing so many twists and turns I felt like a nascar driver interesting through and through and if your anything like me I love long book but can sometimes be hard to get through cant wait to hear the second one well worth the credit.

Holy book audible

Before listening to the book. I saw that some of the reviews were complaining aboit the narration. Actually the narration was quiet good. The story was a little confusing at the middle of the book but everything clarifies after that. Great book.. I can't waith the listen to Chloe and A.J‘s story.

Exceptionally good book!!!!!

I was hooked from the beginning, and went on a Rollercoaster ride of every emotion by the end! Great book!

Rollercoaster

Overall, it was a good story, but I fought the way these characters treated each other a bit. There were several times I expected Nico to get physical with Kat, and not in a desired way, and Kat seemed a little too forgiving of that behavior. Kind of a “just the way he is” thing. I would have loved to have gotten his perspective on this throughout to better understand what was going on in his head.

Good, but a few misses for me

I contemplated DNFing this several times but by the time I got the chance I only had an hour or so left so I finished it. It was so meh… maybe I’m comparing it to her other books that I’ve been obsessed with. Needless to say I won’t be going on in the series.

Not my favorite JTG book

I loved the story!! The narrator was not good at doing male voices. I would have been able to get into the book more if I was not distracted by the strange voices for each character. If I were to get another book from this author I would read it rather than listen.

Loved the story hated the narrator

Where does Sweet as Sin rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

In the middle. This is not your typical Rock and Roll love story.

What other book might you compare Sweet as Sin to and why?

Maybe the Oblivion series...

Have you listened to any of Teri Clark Linden’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I do not think I have heard other performances. She was not as strong on the male voices as she was for the female voices however it did not distract from my listening pleasure.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The interaction between Kat and Chloe, the best friends made me laugh several times.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed Nico's character and his backstory was unique.

Neat story
