Gold Lust by Aleatha Romig {a review}


From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a brand-new age-gap, family saga, chance meeting, contemporary romantic-suspense novel in the world of high finance, where success is sweet and revenge is sweeter.  GOLD LUST is a full-length novel and book three of the Sin Series that began with RED SIN, continued with GREEN ENVY and GOLD LUST, and will conclude with BLACK KNIGHT.

Gold Lust is absolutely amazing! It picks up right where Green Envy left off, and I could not put this book down. From start to end, I was all in. I loved being back in this world, and finding out what happened after Green Envy finished. And if you've read Green Envy, then you know the cliffhanger we were left with. Damn.

Here's the thing, A LOT happened in Gold Lust. It's intense. It is suspenseful. It has you questioning even more things. Then we are once again left with a cliffhanger! And that cliffhanger? Aleatha is excellent at those, because I need to know what happened next! Now I sit and wait for Black Knight.

While I gained more information about Van, I still have numerous questions. Not just about him, but the Butlers, the McGraths, Lena, Madison, and Philip. Then there are a couple of Van's employees that have raised some flags for me. I'm not certain they are working in Van's best interest, but rather that of another. Also, Greensphere. What is that all about? Who is behind it? I mean I have a gut feeling, but...

I know I didn't talk about much with this book. Honestly since this is a continuation of a storyline, it's a bit more difficult to review. There's too many chances of spoilers being revealed, and that's the last thing I want to do. What I can tell you is that this book holds you captive. Aleatha's storytelling draws you in, and there's just this desire to know more. What happened? Who are these people? Who's behind it all? Not to mention, can Van and Julia get their happily ever after, or will something (or someone) continue to block them? It's all very intriguing.

Rating wise, I gave Gold Lust 4.5 stars. It is absolutely fabulous. I love the setting. The characters have me curious. That storyline just continues to build, and it's about to explode. I CANNOT wait for Black Knight.

Thank you for taking the time to read my abbreviated, and cryptic thoughts on Gold Lust. If you are someone who enjoys billionaire romances, forced proximity, a suspenseful story that is filled with twists and turns, then you need to read the Sin series.
