Lies.Passion.Deceit.Love.Heartbreak.Revenge. "Do you believe in fate, Eden?""Sometimes I do," I managed to say, trying to keep the breeziness in my voice."I think it was fate that brought you to me today," he said. Ellie Watt/Eden White --Javier Bernal --Was it really fate that brought Ellie and Javier together?Actually it was not. It was a single girl's need for revenge that made these two people meet...As a young girl, Ellie Watt's life was destroyed by a powerful man with no mercy.

See more reviews like this at Reading Books Like a BossI need a cigarette. I don't even smoke, but I feel like I need a cigarette after finishing this book. My mind feels sated after being thoroughly screwed. I couldn't sleep after I finished this because my mind was overloaded with emotions, feelings, and unadulterated awesomeness. Before I even started reading, I knew that I would end up liking Javier, despite my firm allegiance to Camden McQueen. Karina Halle is a word ninja and has ways of

5++++ mind blowing stars!!!!Karina Halle simply blows my mind with her writing. I become obsessed and perhaps possessed by her insanely amazing skills. She creates characters and weaves a story like no other; she truly is in a class of her own. Long story short- I have been a fan-girl since Experiment in Terror book one-Darkhouse. I read the series book after book without stopping except she had not written the novellas or book 5 and 6, so I had to wait. FYI…. For all you lucky ducks just readin...

I tiptoed down the hall toward the bedroom door. And heard him moan. ... came to a halt when I heard the sound following it. I hate you, Javier. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I love you. I knew that was coming and it still tore my heart out. Despite all his flaws, I loved him and he’s done the unforgivable… Revenge.That’s what is fueling Ellie Watt. She needs to exact revenge on the drug lord who ruined her before she will be able to live a normal life. With her plan all thoug

So apparently I was supposed to read this AFTER Sins and Needles but call me a rebel. Just finished this quick one and my emotions ran from one end of the scale to the other end once I was done. Me for the most portion of the read:My feelings for Javier for 90%: My feelings for Javier in the last 10%:THE AMOUNT OF RAGE I HAVE RIGHT NOW!!! There better be some good explanation for this!! *rage airfist*Moving onwards with my Karina Halle binge-reading! Onto Sins and Needles now :D

A prequel to Sins and Needles, Karina Halle’s The Artist’s Trilogy, which gives you an insight into Ellie Watt’s life as a con artist living under the name of Eden White and how she met the gorgeous and dangerous Javier Bernal. Wow, I loved this story!! Can’t wait to start book 1!!

"This little angel was definitely going to get her wings dirty."I just can't get enough of these characters and this series. Ms Halle, what have you done to me? This little prequel of approximately a hundred pages packs a punch that I didn't think was possible. I'm trying to decide which tone was strongest in this story: the sexy or the sad. Because it is definitely both. This is an erotic, heart-breaking novella about first loves and first betrayals. And I highly recommend you do not read this

Damn you Javier! I kept repeating to myself the whole book that I will not fall for your swag and charm but you made it impossible! Did I mention that this guy is hotter than Haatis? "Submissive?

Perhaps you'll submit to me tonight, but after that, I'll be the one submitting to you."~ Javier Ellie Watt has one thing in mind when she makes this heart throb her mark...revenge against Travis. Travis is Javier's boss the head o...

5 Soul Shattering Stars!!!!I’m officially gutted and heartbroken, but on the other hand, I’m so head over heels in love with Javier....But then in the next moment, I want to cut off his nuts for all the pain I feel right now…Hmmmmmmm Decisions Decisions....Just kidding….. I would never hurt my Javier! Well not in a bad way at least “wink wink”

Once upon a time, there was a con artist named Ellie Watts.But this isn't her story.Here in this standalone book, we will meet Eden White. I believe I had nothing to fear. I believe I only had something to lose. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is her revenge story.But in her disguise, she fell in love. HARD.With a Mexican drug lord named Javier Bernal. "How does he look at me?" -Ellie/Eden "Like he's been searching for you his whole life." This book is their story.Unfortunately... Any l...

5 JAVIER STARS. "I wanted to win over his heart so I could get what I wanted. But I had a feeling he was able to get to my heart first." So here it is, I've finally read this novella after collecting dust on my must read shelf and I can honestly say that it has left me with all kinds of mixed up emotions. Since reading 'Sins and needles' I knew this author could put together a seriously well written and suspenseful story. I thought I had all my good guys, bad guys, i'm in love with you guys al...
