Secrets (Web of Sin, #1) (Sparrow Webs, #1)

by Aleatha Romig

I'm Sterling Sparrow, kingpin of Chicago.
I rule the world you see and the one good people pretend they don't.
Nearly two decades ago, my father showed me a photograph--a girl with golden hair and light brown eyes--and told me that one day, if I proved myself, the girl would be mine.
Seasons turn to years and years pass.
Chicago is now mine.
It is time to claim my queen.
 
"Araneae McCrie, I'm Sterling Sparrow, and you're my queen.
I get what I want and I want you."
 
By New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig, the twisted and intriguing storytelling that you loved in Consequences and Infidelity is back in the Sparrow Webs. Web of Sin is a dangerous, gritty romance, complete with an all-new alpha anti-hero who will haunt your dreams and your fantasies.

OK Ms. Romig, you have my attention! Wow what a fantastic read. Thanks to Brandee for recommending Aleatha Romig from my massive list of Book Bonanza Authors I needed to read. If you like your romance dark and steamy with a side of DOM and an extra helping of suspense, this will hit the spot.

Secrets took a running start and pretty much never stopped. Beginning with a quick prelude to when Kennedy / Araneae was 16 years old and her entire world was swept away and she learns that she's not who she thought she was and her life is in danger. Then we fast forward 10 years, where she's made a life for herself but (because of 1 fatal decision) it's all about to shatter. The secrets and mysteries surrounding her are all very interesting and kept me guessing from beginning to end.

And then there's Sterling. Can he be trusted? I honestly still don't know. And he's a total DOM, something I was not expecting when I started reading this. I always have the same response to DOM stories - they piss me off in the BEST way. I'm irritated for the subs being bossed around and punished and yet it's somehow so HOT. And Ms. Romig definietly delivered the hotness.

I'm trying to read this series for Can You Read a Series in a Month so hopefully the next two will be following fast and I'll get all answers! This last one ended with me doubting everything I thought I knew and I'm excited to see what's next.
