Sins of the Flesh by Caridad Pineiro


Caterina Shaw, world-renowned celloist, is dying from cancer.  The brain tumor recently took her sight, and now the pain is taking away her music.  A group of scientist offer her a chance; be their guinea pig and they might be able to restore her sight, or she may die, which she is going to do anyways.  They play with genes and what they do to Caterina is surreal.


Mick Carrera is an ex-Ranger turned private mercenary.  When he gets the call for a new job, the money is almost too hard to turn down.  His target: Capture Caterina Shaw and bring her back to the labs.  One of the partners was recently brutally murdered in the labs, and Caterina is the suspect.  After the altercation, she escaped.  Mick smells something fishy, but can't quite put his finger on it.  He'll capture Caterina, but he won't turn her in until he is sure she is the murderer.


What happened to Caterina is unbelievable, and even she can't wrap her mind around it.  Her skin changes to her surroundings, as well as having a "halo" effect with her vision.  She can sense how many live objects are in a certain area.  She's not happy when Mick captures her, but soon realizes that he is keeping her safe.  And when Mick doesn't turn Caterina in right away, the bio lab hires a mercenary to take out Mick, and anything else that stands in the way.  They want Caterina back at any costs.


The romance between Caterina and Mick is passionate and emotional.  Two souls who have been alone for a long time finally connect with another.  The ending is left in a way that you know there will be a second book in this tiltillating new series.  Jam packed with action, surreal circumstances, and a romance and the coming together of family sets the scene for Caridad Pineiro's new series, and it's a real winner! Stunningly erotic and scientifically sinful.

  1. After reading your comments about your mother and your younger (but taller) sister, I pictured them in the scene where Mick's mother brought the food over to the house. You were Mick, of course:>)

  2. The synopsis reminds me of a few different series but it still sounds like a pretty unique idea nonetheless.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.
