4.1 out of 5 stars 79 ratings

Coming back to San Antonio wasn’t on my radar, but life happens.
Fresh from heartbreak, I have a brand new job to keep me occupied and I'm ready to start over. I’ll be dreaming up weddings for the rich and privileged, delivering their perfect day - their perfect fantasy.
Those fantasies look nothing like mine, though. Mine are mysterious and threatening and full of intensity.
All make believe, of course.
Until it isn’t.

Dante Cortez came at me like a dark saviour with sin on his lips.
Dangerous. Demanding. Deadly.
The boy I knew was long gone.
And I wasn’t ready for the man he'd become.

When Sinners Fall is the first book in the House Of Skin Series.
Get ready for a family you'll hate to love.

    I have really come to love the duo known as Hart De Lune. Charlotte E. Hart and Rachel De Lune started me on the path of Dark Romance, and I have never looked back. Falling for the bad boys is a guilty pleasure I’m sure I’ll be indulging in for years to come. Falling for Dante Cortez is something I never dreamt I’d do, but fall I did!

    When Sinners Fall is on the darker side of dark. The Cortez brothers are not to be liked. In fact, they are the villains in the prequel, Darker Shades. Like any other mafia-style family, they were born into it, and getting out is not an option. Bad men deserve love, too, and Wren Campbell saw the good in Dante Cortez from childhood.

    I loved how the suspense kept me on edge, kept my heart palpitating for what was to come, and slowly seduced me into falling for one of the bad boys. Dante Cortez is obsessed and possessive of his bird, Wren. Their childhood set the stage for their explosive relationship. Wren’s proclivity for walking on the edge isn’t exactly smart, but with Dante watching her from the shadows, her excitement is heightened, and she can’t stop.

    Dante will most definitely set off some triggers for some readers, so go in warned that this is a dark romance with dark themes. Dante does some shocking things; he is non-apologetic for anything. But also go in knowing that behind every bad man is most likely a loving woman for him to come home to who allows him to let all the bad fade into the night. Wren sees both sides of Dante, and for better or for worse, she has accepted him as he is.

    I am on pins and needles, waiting for book two. The authors left us on quite a cliffhanger as the suspense is building for what comes next for the Cortez family.

    Reading a romance novel featuring an antihero is not the norm for me. So learning the rest of the series focused on the Cortez brothers made me curious to learn if they possessed the capacity to fall in love. When Sinners Fall features Dante Cortez and Wren Campbell.

    Dante, known as the Dragon to both his enemies and family, is not a man one should think to cross. A man without a heart and who does several questionable things throughout the story. He makes no apologies and feels no remorse for his actions. He may be cold, evil, but one thing he is not is disloyal. In relation to his family, his loyalty knows no bounds. I was prepared not to like him after learning of the evil he’s capable of. However, after getting to know him through his experiences, my understanding of his nature changed. I liked him and sympathized with him but didn’t like his actions.

    Wren was a wonderful character. She certainly had the gumption needed to deal with a man like Dante. She challenged him every step of the way. Their interaction ranged between smooth and volatile, but Wren stood her ground with each scenario. I understood his need to protect her, but his response to her challenging him was overbearing and possessive. Wren’s attraction to danger made it easy for her to enter Dante’s world. She knew of his involvement in illegal activities, but she was oblivious to dirty and repulsive side of it. The discovery of the role her man played shocked her senses, but it never changed her feelings towards him.

    Dante had a rough childhood, and the one person who helped him to survive those difficult times was Wren. The connection they shared then survived distance and years.

    The story is well paced and engaging. I was curious to learn how it would unfold. I was especially interested in Wren’s reaction to learning that Dante the man was so different from Dante the boy.

    Overall, When Sinners Fall is an intriguing story which readers who enjoy dark stories will appreciate.

    We meet the Cortez brothers in the novella Darker Shades. They are not people you'd want to get mixed up with let alone fall in love with.

    Wren is back in her home town working as a wedding planner/consultant. She refuses to live with her mother and rents a place that is easy enough to walk to work. Walking home from work one night she feels like someone is watching her. And then the next, and another. At first she is nervous but slowly starts to think it's exciting and wonders who could be following her.

    Dante Cortez is not someone to mess around with. One day he notices that someone from his childhood has come back to town. After seeing her, he ends up with a need of wanting to watch her and maybe at some point reuniting with her. Night after night he watches her as she walks home from her job. Good thing he does because someone else has been following her as well. Neither of them have good intentions but Dante can just hide it better.

    One they reunite, in a very unusual way, Wrens world will forever be changed. She knows some things about the Cortez'S but she doesn't realize just how much she doesn't know.

    Dante doesn't want anyone getting mixed up in his world, let alone Wren. He knows that she could get hurt but also doesn't want to let her go. He has to decide what he is going to do with her and has has to come to terms with his world of she wants to stay.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous but very dark read!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2022
    Oh my! When I read about the Cortez brothers in Darker Shades (House of Skin), I really did not like them and thought they deserved everything they got and more besides!
    So. Ms Hart and Ms de Lune, had to go and shake that belief and write a totally gripping first book in a new series!
    Wren was fabulous! Confident and able. Being head hunted brings her to a different place and she's ready to show the world how capable and brilliant she is...
    Hmmm...that brings her into the orbit of Dante Cortez. Not a nice man. From a not nice family.
    He wants her and regardless of her thoughts on the subject, she's going to be his. BUT, and it's a very BIG but, things are not going to be plain sailing!
    So there are plot twists everywhere. And what could have been a normal story launches into a book that I couldn't put down and the end...OMG!!! The end??? I really don't like our wonderful authors for how this story ended... and I NEED the next book yesterday! lol!
    Highly recommended!
    Fabulous but very dark read!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Intense!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 24, 2024
    I'm looking forward to the events in the future. This book starts off intense - at first, you may feel a strong dislike toward the dragon and everything he stands for. However, once Wren comes into his life, we'll get to know Danta and the person he could become. Their relationship may not be suitable for everyone, and it might be challenging to read (but I'm sure there are TW available). Despite all that, I'm excited to see how the story unfolds.

    5.0 out of 5 stars dark and twisted
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 14, 2023
    Wren feels she is being followed but rather than be frightened, it excites her. An alleyway meeting shocks when she realises who her fantasy man is. Her relationship with Dante started when they were young but he has changed so much since then and his life is dark and dangerous. They decide to give their love a chance which then puts Wren in danger. Dante is a man who takes what he wants and protects what is his. A fabulously dark read delving into the underbelly of the world. Can’t wait to read the next in the series

    4.0 out of 5 stars dark and delicious
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 2, 2024
    Went into this book blind with new to me authors. Brilliantly written that it captivates you. Couldn’t put it down. When they say the mmc is a villain- no truer words have been spoken. No swapping his character half was through the book. No plot twists to show why we thought he was bad. He’s just bad, crazy & dark. And I couldn’t be more here for it! Never have I fallen for the bad guy so hard

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dante Cortez is the man you’ll hate to love
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 28, 2022
    If you like dark, deeply angry and violent men who also have a hidden soft side then this book is definitely for you. I expected to hate Dante because he was so domineering and totally lacking in morals but Hart De Lune wrote him in such a way you can’t help but fall for him. I wanted to dislike Wren too for letting him be so controlling but I found her extremely engaging and entertaining. Some things alluded to and described in this book are not for the faint hearted but you just have to turn the page to find out more. I can’t wait to see which Cortez brother is next but I have a feeling these ladies are going to go even darker!
