Sinners' Playground

A Dark Gang Romance (The Harlequin Crew, Book 1)

De: Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti

Narrado por: Bridget Bordeaux, Jake Bordeaux

Dead girls don’t feel pain. But they like the taste of vengeance.

Maybe that’s why I came back to my hometown. Because it sure as hell wasn’t for the surf. But what else was I supposed to do when I found myself in Sunset Cove with twenty bucks to my name, the key to my enemies’ secrets hanging around my neck and a mouth full of grave dirt that wouldn’t wash clean?

I hate the Harlequin boys.

But this is the perfect opportunity to take what they owe me. Because once upon a time, they broke my heart, stole my life and sent me away from everything I’d ever known.

Fox, JJ, Chase, and Maverick.

The four names tattooed onto my heart more permanently than any of the ink on my skin. They don’t just live in this town anymore, they rule it. And the view here may be beautiful, but the sun, sea and sand hide dark secrets.

The gangs. The lies. The violence.

It all lurks beneath a veil so thin that once you’ve seen through it, you can never close your eyes to the truth again.

But I don’t plan on closing my eyes. I have four devils set in my sights. And this dead girl no longer has anything to lose.

This is an enemies to lovers contemporary series where the girl will end up with multiple love interests and all of the characters are in their late twenties. Trigger warning: This series features gangs, violence, dark romance, and jealous/possessive themes.

OMG What!?!?

Full of hatred and steam. This book had me yelling at the characters at times, but truly enjoyed the action. What a cluster of emotions and attraction these characters face.

great narration

Must read

Suck me in! Seriously these two authors are killer on dark and twisted and all that’s effed up in the world. If starting a book out by a girl being choked to death isn’t enough to grab your attention then seriously you need help. They are so great at creating a story so realistic you can almost taste it. Sinners Playground is a delightfully dark read with smartalick humor and things you won’t see coming. You’re hearts already on edge from your intro to Rogue ( a scrappy girl who seems to Siri I’ve everything bruised abs broken but not shattered) but let’s through in her back story to drive home the roughness. I don’t want to give anything away because seriously you need to experience it all surprises, hits and hotness all on your own. But the ending. Damn they know how to leave you on a cliffs edge begging for more! The narrators continue to kill it! Characters personalities and all the emotions are so vivid with this pair bringing the story to life!

I’m not quite sure yet…

As much as I love what the sisters put out, this one is taking a while for me to decide if it’s love or meh. Never ever did I think I’d say that.

I started with the prequel. Although I can see why everything in this part was necessary, I’m wondering if it could be told faster. I’m hoping above all hope, it does get better from here.

On to the next…

Amazing

I absolutely love this series. Caroline and Susanne are such amazing authors and very talented. Oh did the narrator do a fabulous job being these characters life and keeping me interested throughout the whole book wanting to know what was to happen next

loved the story, voice acting for the guys was meh

my only issue was the guys have very monotone voices for the read through I did love the amazing writing and character building!!

Awesome!!!

I absolutely love the HC. Rogue is my heroine!!! This is my third time listening to this series, waiting on Gallow's Bridge. I don't want to see the end but I will listen from start to finish repeatedly!!!

Oh my

This book was amazing! I love anything but the sisters but the narrators are my all time favorite.. they really bring this story to life and made me fall in love with the characters. And the spicy scenes.. oh my ❤️

Love

Great story, addictive. FMC is back in town where she grew up after her ex tried and thought he killed her. Trying to figure out her next move and make the best of being in a town she filled with her childhood best friends who she felt betrayed her she runs into them and they don't want to let her go. Running the gang that runs the town the leader doesn't want to miss his chance with the girl he let get away and couldnt find. His estranged adopted brother started a rival game when he tried to go after her 10 years ago and ended up in prison. thinking there's threats from his side when really there's threats from another gang they're determined to keep Rogue out fmc around who doesn't forgive so easily and has a mind of her own. This is a fantastic story not everyone is happy that she's back where they're scared each guy has a different approach but it's fully it's a dark romance that's easy to digest and a fantastic story with great characters. The narration is dual with a female and male switching chapters. This is a dark contemporary reverse harem told in multiple povs. there will be five books total and there's a prequel before this I recommend that is on Audible call Devil's pass that takes place ten years before this when the characters were 16 in this story they are 26. highly recommend this audible book in the series.

Amazing!

Loved this book! Can't wait for the next one. The story is great, and the narrators make it even better! I love the different voices they do, and especially how they changed the characters' voices for the flashbacks to make them actually sound younger. That was a nice touch.

This book? On ‘Audible’ is deliciously-naughty...

I finally found a book that has everything; all the perfect push with a naughty pull, a female lead that kicks-ass while taking all their numbers, and getting her life back on the right track...she is headstrong, feisty, gets herself into so much trouble it's perfect, she always talks back, and makes you laugh while she is in all kinds of compromising situation.

The boys? they are all so different, like going to ice-cream store, so much verity, can’t blame the girl for wanting them all, also, can’t blame her for wanting to destroy them either, for the alpha-holes they are...except for JJ, something about that broken boy, has me all shift inside, he seems to be the only one, I’d maybe, and I mean maybe... forgive.

The cliffhanger though, damn...that was one good knife stab into the heart, not the last page, but what leads to it, that lie, the betrayal...I see a very vengeful rainbow unicorn, coming for blood.

This is going to be an interesting series, so far five-star girls, can’t wait for June, to see what will happen next, and how much deeper their boys will dig their very own graves.
