Noble Pass Affaire #3

Flirting with Sin

Rate this book
Ari Sincero is running away.

Running from the grueling touring schedule, the recording label's demands for more music, the constant pressure of being the lead singer of one of the world’s most famous rock band. Hell, he needs a vacation. Maybe then he can breathe, possibly write his first song in three years, and oh yes, drink himself into an oblivion so he can forget the guilt relentlessly dogging him.

The best laid plans…

Blackmailed by her evil twin into a vacation she doesn’t want, loan officer Neveah Morgan arrives at the hotel in Noble Pass, Colorado, questioning her career and horrible choices in men—and ends up playing roomie with a rock star. With his sexy tattoos, body that won’t quit and eyes full of secrets and pain, Ari practically flashes Caution: Danger Ahead. Falling into the bed of a rock star is crazy. Falling for him is even crazier. Especially when he’s in love with a ghost and intends to return to his world of rock 'n roll and meaningless sex—a world she doesn’t fit in.

Maybe what happens in the mountains should stay in the mountains. Unless it means losing the love of a lifetime…

I was gifted a copy of this book for review.
This story completely tore by surprise. The characters were different and really grabbed your attention. Neveah is such a strong woman who loves to take care of others. Her previous boyfriend however has made her doubt everything especially herself.
Ari is a rock star who has come to expect people wanting something from him. He has closed his heart off from relationships and is more of a one night stand man.
The tension between these characters is off the charts. Wonderful story.

Once again, Naima Simone has blown me away. Flirting with Sin is heartfelt, spicy and so well written I could just cry. Yeah...its like that when you are an author and you read really good shit. 'his own sweat clung to the material like a stubborn woman' Nailed it! Aristotle, a repenting superstar and Neveah, the sweet soul who soothes him, are dynamite together in this emotional tale of love, growth and forgiveness. Let Naima take you away into a world of possibilities. Hey...you may even find a little of yourself in there. A TOTAL THUMBS UP READ!

Wow I have to say this book is one of those that will stay with me I fell in love with Ari and Neveah and would love to see a full length book about them.Ari is a a lead singer in a rock band who is drowning in guilt for his girlfriends death 3years ago . He decides to switch vacations with his friend and manager without finding out any details . Little does he realise he will find his heart and soul . Neveah is a people pleaser who cares more about everyone else than herself ,her twin sister entered her into the competition so that she could find herself,once there she finds her teenage idol is sharing her room ! This book is about healing ,love and living for yourself and my some seriously hot sex scenes. I would highly recommend Flirting with sin and can't wait to read more from Naima Simone .

This is my first time reading Naima Simone but it will definitely not be my last! I normally don't read novellas because I don't feel like you get to know the characters enough but the whole series has been great! I feel like all the authors bring you into their characters lives and I just can't get enough! Flirting with Sin was no different. Love this book and can't wait to read more for Naima Simone

Flirting with Sin is different from my normal reading choice so I wasn't sure if I would like this story, but the more I read, the more the story captivated me. At first,Ari, the male character,seemed selfish and shallow, but after reading the first two chapters, my opinion of him began to change. By the end of the story, I couldn't put it down. Ari and Neveah were both broken, and each was able to provide what the other needed to heal and bring out the best in one another. Some books have the happily ever after at the end, and the story is over, but with Ari and Neveah, I felt like it was just the beginning. Great job Naima

The princess or the Knight in shining armor?...
This is a really cute, sweet, and passionate modern day fairytale in which two people afraid to love again found in each other a new beginning, forgiveness and themselves. Mrs.Simone created an effortless connection to the main characters by playing with my feelings beautifully.
This was my first book by this author and I am very pleased with her work. I am looking forward to read more of A Noble Pass Affaire Novella Series as well as the other books by Mrs. Simone.

On the outside Ari and Neveah may seem complete opposites, but on the inside they might have a lot more than they think to offer each other in Flirting With Sin.

I truly enjoyed reading Flirting With Sin by Naima Simone. She captivated me with her fast paced writing, vivid descriptions, and a strong hero and heroine. As fast as Neveah and Ari come together, I felt like it was just the right time and the right circumstances for them, so the speed of it was believable. But can it last? Both of them have issues they are dealing with, and their lives are very different. Neveah is a natural caretaker, but who's taking care of her? Her own dreams are on hold to make someone else happy. Ari feels like everyone wants something from him. His past haunts him, and he is a very tortured but lovable hero. He never opens up to anyone, but something about Neveah makes him open up to her. She seems to know what he needs, what he wants. Will she recognize her own needs and wants though? Ari and Neveah's characters really grew in this novella...maybe they just needed each other.

I just really liked how these two were together. They had fun! Not just between the sheets (and that they did as well!), and they made me smile. Their feelings were real. I liked how they both ended up at the castle in unexpected circumstances. It wasn't necessarily where either of them wanted to go, but they didn't hold it against the other person, there was no anger or angst. Then I liked where this adventure took them...if only it didn't have to end.

I couldn't wait to see what happened for Ari and Neveah, and I couldn't put the book down. The fun, the feelings that Naima manages to easily convey, the spice and the hope of a seemingly impossible future made Flirting With Sin a 5 star read for me.

Flirting With Sin is part of the Noble Pass Affaire series, but each book in this series can definitely be read as a stand alone. The recurring setting is the common theme, and it is a unique one!

I'd highly recommend Flirting With Sin to any romance reader looking for a fast paced, happy heart read!

I received an ARC for an honest review.

That's it! I'm gone. I have completely fallen in love with the magic of Noble Pass and Castle Alainn. Some have found their true love in strangers and others have found their true love in a friend they've known for a long time.

Aristotle and Neveah find love by letting it heal their wounds. We all come with baggage, some worse than others, but they open their hearts to each other and find their soul mate. I love how tender hearted Neveah is able to get Ari to open up, but his caring and strength opens her heart too. He no longer has to live with the guilt and pain of his past and she no longer has to carry the pain and humiliation the previous a-hole put her through. He loves her caring, compassion and sexiness. She doesn't have to hide who she is from him. He can't hide from her because even before she knew him she could tell when his heart was no longer in the songs he wrote. She brings that joy and passion back to his heart.

Bags are packed! Noble Pass here I come!

There are sharing a suite at a resort, but falling for each other would be crazy as Ari Sincero is in love with a ghost and Neveah Morgan is nursing her wounded heart and Pride in this captivating romance.

Steamy passion and heart-warming romance draws the reader in as Neveah and Ari slowly capture each other’s hearts despite how hard they resist. The characters are strong, compelling and grab the reader’s attention while the fast paced, smooth flowing plot captivates readers with turmoil and romance and the emotional turbulence that flows from the pages grip the heart as the well written scenes and details capture the imagination and bring it all to life with anticipation building lots of tension throughout the story.

I was completely caught up in this quick heart-warming romance and the characters were easily related to and captured my heart and I think the setting makes a wonderful backdrop for hooking up couples…I wonder if I can vacation there?

I really enjoy reading Naima Simone and her novella in the Noble Pass Affaire series just grabs on to you and won't let go. This book can be read as a stand alone book, but as a reader I am telling you to read the others in this series by different authors. A Compassionate woman and a Rock Star, a story of opposites and an attraction and chemistry that is off the charts. Can Ari a man who only does one night stands since losing his girlfriend and Neveah filled with self doubt from a ex boyfriend find love. Naima Simone takes you on their journey of hope and healing to a Happily Ever After with laughter, tears and Hot Hot Hot sex!

I really enjoyed this novella. This is part of the "Noble Pass Affaire" series. The novellas are stand-alone so can be read in any order. Ari and Neveah were so fun and well written. Both characters are broken, but find healing in one another. What will happen when vacation ends?

This is a wonderful, feel-good story that left me with a smile on my face. I definitely recommend this story.

I so loved this story. Naima is such a great storyteller. Ari and Neveah both need a break from their lives, but what they didn't count on was finding each other. This is such a beautifully written story. You can feel the emotions of each character as they endure their pain and disappointment of the past. And OMG you can feel the passion explode between them!

This was so incredibly good. Wow. Totally unexpected. Super quick read but worth it. My only gripe is that it ended in a HFN instead of a HEA. Thus, 4.5 stars. But there’s oh so much you can do with 76 pages.

A rare short romance that I actually recommend.

This was my last visit to the Noble Pass and I'm sad to say goodbye (I'm hoping it'll only be for a little while I lurrrrved this series!!) The novel approach to suite mates sharing an awesome vacation and maybe finding a little spark of love was really unique.

Aristotle, Ari, is in face and heart of his band. As the child of rock royalty he knows the pitfalls and highs that the rock n roll life can bring. But he found love young before the craziness happened and didn't think he'd fall prey to the lifestyle. Fast forward a couple of years and he has lost his lover and his heart and he is bone tired and fighting with his label for a short vacation. His hasbeen dad is being pushy as ever and Ari has had it. He swaps vacations with his manager and ends up at the Castle Alainn.

Neveah is tired of being the perfect daughter and in a moment of weakness admits to her sister Heaven, AKA Hell!!! that she wants out of the family business. Every day she faces her sleazeball ex is another day she deflates her ego just a bit. Hell cons her into the break at Noble Pass, funnily enough forgetting to mention about the whole romantic setting and suitemate business!!

She recognises Ari but he is relieved to find that she is no band bunny and is just as tired of her life as he is.

What follows is lovely tender-hearted story dealing with love, lost and broken, and resolving past issues. Neveah and Ari are a perfect pair, and work so well together. Ari is not the typical rock god but he does have the same solutions sometimes, F@*k the band bunnies and get drunk to numb the pain. Neveah is a people pleaser and her own worst enemy!!!

Beautifully written, heartrending back stories and very real feel tenderness in dealing with trauma and loss, in various forms. I'm not a real lover of rock musician books but this was a brilliant read and would love read more books about the rest of Ari's bandmates!!

Aristotle “Ari” Sincero, is a mega rock star on a path to self-destruction. Since the devastating death of his beloved girlfriend three years prior, Ari has been on a downward spiral filled with internal guilt. Almost at the point of no return, Ari decides to escape it all by taking a vacation where no one would expect the lead singer of the most famous rock band to be.

Neveah Morgan is coerced by her twin sister into vacationing in Noble Pass, Colorado as a winner of a contest that she entered under Neveah’s name as a way to get her life back on track after ending a bad relationship. Now, Neveah is stuck in a hotel for a week with an unknown male co-winner. Neveah’s plan is to greet him and then avoid him as much as possible. That is until she discovers that her roommate is none other than her all-time favorite rock icon Ari Sincero.

With both running away from the agonies of their past, will either be willing to open their hearts to the new possibility of love?

I found Flirting with Sin to be an awesome read. There are some heartfelt moments, passion-filled instants, and laughable minutes that all come together to formulate a spectacular page turner. I simply could not put this book down. Neveah and Ari are two people who truly deserve a second chance at love especially since each feels so unworthy of it and is emotionally damaged for various reasons. The chemistry between Neveah and Ari is intensely hot and their impassioned sexual encounters will have you breathless and fanning your face with heated desire. This is definitely one couple that you will unquestionably root for with hopes of a having a very happy ending.

Ari is the lead singer of a rock band, but he needs a break, especially with the anniversary of a tragedy coming up. When he swaps vacations with his manager to get away, he didn't realize he'd be set up in a match-making lodge with a beautiful woman. Neveah's stuck going on a match-making trip thanks to her blackmailing sister. When the man sharing the trip with her is none other than Ari, she doesn't know what to do.
This was a quick but fulfilling story. The author did an excellent job of packing a full story that grabs you right from the beginning. You get a good background and feel for both main characters.
Great story and characters. I highly recommend for anyone that likes this genre and author.

Ari Sincero is a hot, sexy, tattooed rock star. His only problem is he doesn’t believe in love, after the death of his girlfriend. So he spends his time drinking and have one night stands. That is until meets Neveah in the living area they are sharing.
Neveah Morgan is a women at a cross roads in her life. She feels unworthy of love and has to be everything to everyone else, but herself. It all changes when Ari the lead in many of her fantasies walks out of the other bedroom.
At first they fight their attraction to one another. But when they finally come together, the heat rises and they find they’re both worthy of a second chance at love.

I was given an ecopy for an honest review.

This is the first time I read a book by Naima Simone but it won't be the last one.

I really enjoyed this story. The characters are completely different and I couldn't put the book down.

The book is great!

Ari Sincero has it all! He is the lead singer of one of the most famous rock band in the world. He needs ro run away from everything. He hasn't written a song for the last three years. The pressure is too much.

Loan officer Neveah Morgan arrives at the hotel in Noble Pass, Colorado after her sister makes her go on vacation by force.

When they meet, chemistry is great. I really enjoyed this book. Great read!

Oh my!

Nevaeh and Aristotle together is rock star nirvana!! The humor, the tender emotions, the smoking hot sex that made me want to have a cigarette after reading it make for another hit for Naima Simone!!!!

I think there are some authors who are proficient in writing novellas without leaving the reader feeling like she's been cheated; Naima is a MASTER OF THIS CRAFT!! She slays the novella....as a reader, you will get a complete heartwarming story with characters you'll never forget. Kudos Ms. Simone!

Another hot Noble Pass book! I've loved this entire series and each book is just as hot as the last. I loved the concept of burnt out rock star going incognito in his friend's place, not knowing his friend won the matchmaking contest. Fantastic book with a great ending.

This was a great short novella. Just the right size for a late night read.
I am still high on Naima Simone's Sin and Ink book tough... so although I loved this I can't help but compare. I know, that is not a good thing to do. Anyways... LOVED it. But Sin and Ink still the favorite :)

Flirting with Sin was a passionate read that really tugged at my heart. I loved this story of Ari, the tattooed front man for one of the world's most famous rock groups, coming to grips with the reality that he is completely worn down. Looking for a way to escape the crazy demand of his life, and his father, he trades vacations with Jack & winds up at Castle Alainn, in Noble Pass, Colorado. Too bad he didn't know that this vacation is sort of a matchmaker retreat!
Blackmailed into this "The Bachelor" style vacation by her sister, Neveah Morgan arrives only to discover that she's going to be spending a week with the golden rocker. The story that unfolds is equally poignant and passionate. I thoroughly enjoyed this couple's story because it was a romance that helped them both to overcome the pain of their pasts.
This story is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone. Having said that, I definitely plan to read the other stories in this series!

Loved this book. Being a Lord of the Rings fan loved the reference. Ari is a sexy as sin rockstar who is burning out. He's losing his passion so a vacation is in order. Neveah finds herself with a rockstar for a week living and breathing fantasy come true. As these two get to know each they start to reveal their inner makings. The chemistry and heat level is off the charts steaming hot.
