Castle Sin is a Dark, Later-in-Life, Second-chance Romance Suspense Series

Peyton Jackson was a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist, the best in her field, but in Castle Sin, she was known only as Sub PJ. Peyton had stayed away from the ocean for a reason, yet there she was, on a remote island in Key West, surrounded by the sea, gazing at the majestic castle meant to become her home. At least, that’s what she made the seven Masters believe... In reality, she was there for only one reason: to get her cousin off the island.

One unexpected perk … or detriment … was that it placed her directly in the sights of her biggest celeb crush. In contrast to finding herself wanting to please her Master at every turn, she also smelled a story, a scoop … and she had every intention of taking advantage to find out exactly what went on inside the walls of Castle Sin. Until she awoke the Beast inside the King of the Castle.

He was known as Stone Rothman in Hollywood … Stone Sinclair to his family … and Master Eagle to everyone else in Castle Sin A powerful Master, a compassionate man, and a hungry and demanding Beast created the enigma that was Stone Sinclair. Trust and honesty were paramount in every aspect of his life and he expected the same from those surrounding him. As the king of his castle, it took a lot to crack his armor … but this time she had peeved him off.

She was one of the trainees at Castle Sin … and she was a fake. A liar and an impostor. Two traits this powerful Master had no patience for.

The moment he laid eyes on the tall redhead, the Beast inside his soul began to stir. She was a deceiver, and he was going to enjoy transforming her into exactly what she’d applied for.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to both of them, a conspiracy threatened to yank their entire existence apart. It endangered not only their lives, but spelled disaster for the entire nation, and Peyton was forced into an impossible situation she had no way to get out of. With lies and lust and fear at war inside her, helpless to fight the domination of the Master and his Beast, she attempted to find a solution … but no matter what she did, there was only one way it all would end.

With Stone Sinclair hating her.

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR.

“Isn’t it a universal truth that it’s our singular experiences and passion, for whatever thing or things, which moulds us all into the individuals we become? Whether it's hidden in the depths of our soul or exposed for all to see?”

Linzi Basset is a South African born animal rights supporter with a poet’s heart, and she is also a bestselling fiction writer of suspense filled romance books; who as the latter, refuses to be bound to any one sub-genre. Her initial offering: Club Alpha Cove, a BDSM club suspense series released back in 2015, reached Amazon’s Bestseller list, and she has been on those lists with every series ever since .

“I write from the inside out. My stories are both inside me and a part of me so it can be either pleasurable to release them or painful to carve them out. I live every moment of every story I write. So, if you're looking for spicy and suspenseful, I'm your girl... woman... writer... you know what I mean!"

Ultimately, all books by Linzi Basset are about passion. To her, passion is the driving force of all emotion; whether it be lust, desire, hate, trust, or love. This is the underlying message contained in her books. Her advice: “Believe in the passions driving your desires; live them; enjoy them; and allow them to bring you happiness.”

    There aren't many constants in the Universe, but the quality of Ms Basset's writing is one of them (IMO).
    I loved AND enjoyed this beginning book in a new series from the author. And this book has A LOT to recommend it: SIZZLING steamy s*x (& I mean SIZZLING!), intrigue, suspense, danger, espionage, angst, a hard DOMINANT Alpha, a steel spined hardheaded heroine that alternates between embracing & fighting being a submissive.
    An emotionally locked Hero that finds himself lusting in the most unexpected way for the new & puzzling submissive to enter Castle Sin's training program.
    A heroine who is an experienced & hard hitting news journalist searching for her cousin as well as a story & finding a Master she's lusted over from afar.
    But things don't go as expected OR planned for either Master Eagle (Stone) or Peyton . . . .
    > Plot: Excellent. Filled with emotion, with pain (emotional & physical), danger, intrigue & espionage. With betrayal & enlightenment, with steam & broken hearts trying to find their way to healing.
    > Characters: Stellar. The author is flawless (IMO) with how she peels the layers back on them, allowing the reader to slowly gain insight into them, to learn WHY they make the decisions they make, why they feel & react the way they do. And the peeling back throughout the book keeps the reader on delicious tenterhooks, always wanting MORE.
    > Writing: Again, STELLAR. The author is deft with her vocabulary, the pacing, the phrasing. I love when an author writes in such a way I am effortlessly swirled into her character's world, seamlessly entering into their perceptions & environment. Ms. Basset is a Wordsmith, a Spellcrafter, her writing enchants, enthralls, entrances me in such a way I feel anger, love, hope, fear for her charcaters & their situations. I feel their worry, fears, insecurities, pain, hope & love & loss. Is there any greater joy for a reader than to be so perfectly ensorcelled by an author? Not for this reader!
    Do I recommend this book? HECK, YES, without any hesitation or reservations!
    So, if you want a sizzling, exciting, romantic & tension-filled read: Sally forth, this is it!

    This book is not only sexy and hot, but the amazing suspense filled story of espionage, strong arm tactics and political intrigue!
    Payton Jackson came to Castle Sin Island in the Florida Keys looking for her cousin, Savannah at her aunt's request to rescue her from the "sex slavers" Aunt Vera was sure held her daughter captive. Once Peyton arrives under the guise of a submissive trainee, the plot immediately thickens and all hell breaks loose.
    Peyton has some hysterically funny discussions with her highly aroused ovaries ( apparently they talk back to her and have their own ideas about the hot Master Eagle, Stone Sinclair).
    It's a hot, exciting ride to a Grisham-esque climax you won't soon forget! Book 2 here I come.

    Whoa! This was my first Linzi Basset book, but it won't be my last. Exceptional story writing. Ms Basset knows her subject matter and how to write it in detail that you can envision as it's happening to the characters. Stone has enough suspense to keep you on edge and enough sizzling sex to keep you wanting more. Stone is the irresistible, swoon-worthy hero. Peyton the snarky, fiery heroine. Together they are seriously delicious. This story is brimming with action and romance plus page-turning thrills.
