Seriously this book was better the second time around! This is pure psychological thriller! Sebastian and Taylor work so well together, thing is Sebby would have never been attracted to Taylor, had she been a stronger and more assertive character. He saw something in her I guess, her brokenness, how demure she was, his perfect submissive mate,and I don't me BDSM lifestyle here.

Their relationship works because they're both broken people. Taylor with her abandonment issues and Sebastian with his c ...more

I'm going to start out with this from the blurb...
**DISCLAIMER** This is NOT your average romance. It's a dark, gritty, sometimes erotic psychological thriller with a heavy emphasis on plot. It also contains elements of dominance and discipline with dubious consent, psychological conditioning, and mental manipulation. There’s also gunfire and violence. If any of this offends you, this may not be the book for you. Intended for mature audiences only.

Don't take this disclaimer lightly, it is just a ...more

I hate myself for loving this book so damn much..Dark doesn't even begin to cover it. Take the authors warning to heart before you crack the cover! I didn't even look at it before I started, I just thought oh, yummy alpha male...LMAO! Soooo not what I thought.

This book is harsh. Seb is a first class asshole. I've never wished a male lead character dead as much as I did Seb. This book is all about mental/physical conditioning. I feel horrible I like a book with abuse in it, but, it is a book and ...more

I wasn't sure about this one at first, Sebastian was very unlikeable. I thought he was completely crazy as was his partner Josh. There was a scene at the beginning that had me begging the heroine to run as fast and as far as she can!!
However halfway through I really got into it, the revelations made sense of why he was so crazy!
Looking forward to the next installment. ...more

Holy Shit what in the hell was that? I needed a moment to regain my self composure after I finished this crazy as hell, demented, psychotic, mind boggling asylum, ehhh I mean book, yeah book. This story is one of those rare stories that is so twisted and mindfucking awesome you almost can take it. Thank you, Thank you SOOOOO much Adriana Noir for not holding back, thank you for every raw and gritty detail, thank you for the complexity of each and every character, and most of all thank you for the complete and utter disastrous train wreck that this book is, yet the thought of looking away NEVER crossed my mind. This story hits you very quickly like a frontal attack and it doesn't pull ANY punches! With that being said, if you are under the age 18, or are faint at heart, walk away now. You couldn't handle making it to 30% in this book.

Taylor is the sweet girl from the wrong side of the tracks, but she works hard and takes care of herself. She is one of the most awesome main characters I have had the pleasure of reading. She is fiercely loyal, but a bit too naive for her own good. With sexy Sebastian making an entrance in her life, she is certain she could easily fall head over hills, but she has no idea whats at the bottom of that hill, if she did she would have been running like hell was chasing her in the other direction. So, Sebastian has to rein in and use patience, something he isn't used to doing. However he will bid his time until he has Taylor exactly where he wants her.
Sebastian is hands down the most complex, intriguing, and maniacal character I have ever read. He goes from laughing and tickling his niece with love in his eyes to carving a mans face up like a jack o lantern with a sinister smirk on his lips, and he does this so gracefully and calmly it makes your blood run cold. He had my emotions twisted in so many different directions I didn't know up from down, hate from love, or wrong from right. I didn't know where in the hell he was coming from or going to next. He and his evil actions and calm coldness made me freak out, then like a flip of a switch he shows sweet and concerned love for Taylor or his niece and nephews. He seriously had my emotions all over the damn place. I can honestly say he scared the ever living hell out of me. I was afraid for Taylor, hell I was afraid for anyone and everyone around Sebastian. No one, and I mean no one was safe from his manic ministrations.
On the other side of that coin of his is a sincerely loving protector and provider, albeit in his own odd way. His only concern is to protect Taylor and keep her in his life because she is the only soothing balm that can give him the peace and still calm he has never experienced in his life. For the first time ever, he wants to be a good man. For her he wants to be the man that she feel in love with, but is he too far gone? Is he too tainted with the evil stains of his past?
Coming in May 2013 is Book 2: Bound by Vengeance And I may very well end up insane and in a padded cell waiting for it! Eeeeek! ...more

Wow- just wow... I am seriously puzzled buy this book, but don't get me wrong, that is totally not a bad thing. I am puzzled because I want to find it wrong, but yet I want more. Everytime I find myself loving Seb, BAM- out comes some crazy shit and I want to hate him, really I do but god I can't. And Taylor, poor Taylor... I just don't know what to say to her because I think she is right there with me- captivated and awestruck and can't turn away. I can not wait for SKALS 2, I just know there i ...more

WARNING: THERE IS A FOURTH BOOK THAT HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED YET AND THE THIRD BOOK ENDS IN A CLIFFY!! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!!

I never thought I would LOVE a book like this but I DID, I really DID. I couldn't put it down!

If you're looking for a sweet love story do NOT read this book. Sebastian is ANYTHING was sweet. In fact, there were a couple of times I downright HATED him. But, once you get to know him, you know why he is the way he is. It's sad. And that DAMN JOB of his. Man, I'll never complain ...more

wasn't sure what to expect from this book having not read anything of adriana's before but must say OMG! there's nothing i like more in a book than a dominating alpha male but jeez seb's intensity borders on psychotic at times he's more than scary. however i think the book is fantastic the way its written bringing out the softer side to seb then showing us the scary glimpses make it all to easy to see how taylor has got caught up in the man, there were times i thought she would break or run and ...more

Sinister Kisses is an appropriate title. Just when you think you can catch your breath from the sizzling sex scenes in this book the chilling main character will rip it away! Special Agent Sebastian Baas is like no character I've ever read. His personality and mood swings are dizzying at times. Noir brings to life a man that can tickle a child one moment and carve a man’s face like a jack-o- lantern the next and she does it with skill, slowly showing us the things that have shaped Sebastian into ...more

I do not know how/where I found this series, but I'm so glad I did!!! I'm totally addicted to 'The SKALS' series. This is a raw and edgy story centered around Sebastian (Extremely dominant and controlling Leader of SKALS), Taylor (Extremely submissive and obeying young woman)AND Sebastian's employer 'The SKALS'. Wow, this booked had me up all night trying to finish and get to the next book. Sinister Kisses details the beginning of Sebastian and Taylor's relationship (how they me ...more

Do I recommend this book: absolutely not. It's like watching a grown 20 year old woman act like she's 3 all she does is cry and say sorry forgive me I love you. In reality she needs to be saying WTF and get the hell out of there. Really I can't even explain all of the BS that this story has. ...more
