Lust (A Sinful Empire Book 2) Kindle Edition
She’s more than I expected.
Beautiful.
Fiery.
Seductive.
And hiding deadly secrets.
Her angels play so nicely with my demons.
I crave her touch.
Her whimpers.
Her obedience.
Her light.
Do I deserve her? No.
Will that stop me from taking what’s rightfully mine? Also no.
Some men never seek forgiveness, not even with their final breath.
My name is Antonio Huntsman, and I am one of those men.
Lust is the second book in A Sinful Empire Trilogy, which begins with Greed and concludes with Envy. It should be read after reading Greed. Lust is a dark romance with dark themes.
Forbidden fruit has never been sweeter...

- Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2022Back at Porto, Daniela has a secret! What do you think it is? This is book 2! I liked reading this quite fast moving story. Stormy at first but it starts making sense now about why Daniela the way she is with her new husband. I will tell you her secret if you promise to read this whole story. Daniela mother was rape and killed by a member of Antonio's. Then she was raped and had to watch while mother was killed. She was a young 12 year old girl. Losing her mother was bad enough, but weeks later she finds herself pregnant with the baby of the person who raped her. He father tries to protect her from being killed. He sends her away with Isbel, her family friend who looked after her when her mother was killed. Year's later she has to tell Antonio the truth that Valentinia is her daughter. Antonio is so angry, he won't stop without finding the person who did this to his wife. Antonio is not the person that you can walk away from, killing is on his mind. Antonio falls deeply in love with Daniela. What's going to happened next., I can't wait to find out what happens next in the next book. This story is off of the charts for danger, love, war and lots of action! ENJOY

STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥
The second book in the Sinful Empire Trilogy continues from the first. Daniela has a secret to disclose to the anti-hero Antonio, and it is a whopper indeed. The two are figuring out the best way to protect their respective families' legacies from greedy and evil hands. That goal may be more challenging than they thought. And to add to it -- try as they may -- their attempts to keep this arrangement as emotionally distant as possible seem to unravel.
Antonio -- and everyone else around him -- fancies himself an anti-hero, and that changes little. He is still cold, calculating, and dark, but there is a bit of humanity in him that Daniela seems to inspire. It seems the ice around his heart is cracking for the formidable Daniela. She is every bit his equal, and this book highlights that. She is the queen that Antonio needs, that Antonio did not know he wanted. And just like she inspires some goodness in him, he inspires strength in her. A woman in a male-controlled woman, she stands on her own two feet with his encouragement. Their connection creates more passion and chemistry than they have anticipated, and it seems that in this case, two is very much better than one.
This trilogy is a tangled web that draws readers in and attaches its literary claws not just around our brains but also our hearts. Antonio and Daniela should not be compatible, but yet they are and we are left cheering for them wholeheartedly.
The book does contain very dark themes so consider trigger warnings before diving in. It also ends in another cliffhanger -- another hit for my already frail nerves from the last one -- building more anticipation for the final book.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2023Thank God it picks up right where we were left off. The raw emotions in this book... absolutely stunning.
And now Antonio realizes how much of an ass he was. Good morning sunshine!!!!! This book was so intense and Daniela grew so beautifully into a woman who doesn't hide her emotion anymore. And after she tells her story, she's so much stronger. Daniela is a force of nature.
Antonio... well boy, Valentina is your new weakness :))) I love how he's protecting her, and also, how he gently pushes her to face her demons. We can see a little evolution in his character too. He's still a maniac :))) but I think he finally listens. I'm so happy he had Grey open his eyes a little bit. He has a dangerous life, he's a powerful man, and any woman associated with him with have been a target, but Daniela really is the best partner for him. I think he finally sees that and accepts it.
Rafa is a sweetheart. The way he is with Valentina... like a big brother and instantly takes her under his wing. Antonio raised him well.
THAT ENDING!!! This is not good for our hearts!!! :)) With all the spice, plot, torture and action, that is the ending that will end us :))))

Review
The second book in the Sinful Empire was just as amazing as the first. It picks up right where book one left off with us finding out just who Valentina is and everything else. There were so many twists and turns that leave you sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for what comes next.
Antonio and Daniela’s characters are absolutely perfect and together they will be a force to be reckoned with. Antonio continues to fight his feelings for her but is realizing there’s nothing he can do. Daniela is twice as strong and fierce in book two and I look forward to seeing where book three leads them as they continue to strengthen together.
The secrets and mysteries are just as intense and torturous as book one but that is part of what makes this series so freaking awesome. The ending leaves us with another cliffy but like book two the wait for three will be well worth it. If you haven’t read book one Greed I highly recommend reading it before reading Lust. I highly recommend this entire trilogy!!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2024Oh. My. God.
I…Noooooooo!! As soon as Lucas said Cristiano wasn’t there my gut twisted and sank. Oh heck no! Dude how could he do that? I’m like hoping and praying that it’s all part of a plan to get the Russians not to go against Antonio.
My heart can’t take this and I’ll be getting the next book. I HAVE TO KNOW!!
This story was so chalk full of emotions, roller coasters of emotions, so much angst, drama and then Antonio and Daniela have come to a similar conclusion about where they stand with each other while still having that push and pull they’re famous for.
I don’t know if Valentina and Alexis are okay but I hope they are and more than anything I hope Antonio is too. They love each other and both said Te amo. I need them to be okay.
Here’s hoping that book three will deliver just as phenomenally as the first and second books have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well....
I don't even know what to say, talk about gobsmacked. The twist was so out of the blue. Great story, again. I still want to slap Antonio, but he's growing on me and Daniela... that woman has some steel in her spine. It's been a while since a book has engaged me so much. Definitely, definitely one set I would read again. Now, for the final book, I can't wait to see what happens now

5.0 out of 5 stars So much of everything!!
This book was just so perfectly written. I felt all sorts of emotions going through it. Love, anger, pain, laughter and tears. Absolutely love the storyline. It’s not mixed up or lost with the character’s development.
Can’t wait to read the last part. It ends in a big cliffhanger, thankfully the next book is appear available to read.
Kudos to Eva for working so beautifully that I feel I’m a part of the story. Thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gets better
So, this book is plot heavy, it's literally like a movie with sufficient action and romance and twists... This book has I think the most practical MCs, like that's what I imagine them to be. I am definitely going to read her backlog

4.0 out of 5 stars A great second book in this series
The story continues with Daniela’s and Antonio’s story and like the first book I couldn’t put it down, Antonio showed growth but some times he was more talk than action but still a good book.
