Sinful Hands: (Lucas & Chanel #1) (Chained Hearts Duet Series Book 3)

What an absolute corker of a read!Lucas. He's awful. Evil. Sadistic. A real lowlife. Uses women. Discards them without a thought. Unless he kills them.Chanel. On the game to pay her way and educate her brother. Definitely full of sass!Chanel actually dares to stand up to Lucas and he's dragged in kicking and screaming all the way. He's as mesmerised by her, as she is by him. She just doesn't back down and there's fabulous banter and cheek goes on between them. Even the not so nice bits fall into place.Seems like all the cast are out to wind Lucas up...But just as you think you've worked out what's happening, Ms Smith throws not just as spanner, but a whole tool box, in the works, and totally blows you away! There is no way on earth I'd have seen what was coming. Now to wait for book 2 as I'm desperate to know what's going to happen next!Compelling reading!

It's like a cat playing with a mouse. It's sick but in a gripping way. Lucas an absolute psychopath meets Chanel a prostitute who is rasing her teenage brother and only prostitutes herself to give him a brighter future, only he falls into working for Lucas.It's dark, light and all that grey this one, with good characters and dialogue and an addictive storyline.My only gripe is call me daddy, ewe, yuk I will vomit right now. Nope it's never sexy.It's a compelling read and I cannot wait for the next partChanel should move on, leave her brother to it, get shot of Lucas and make a new life for herself. The people around her are toxic.Recommended

My first read by TL smith and what an introduction! what a ride !Sinful Hands is exactly that , sinful! the story is intense, dark and dangerous, but so captivating, so thrilling, so addictive!In all honesty, i had such a mixture of opinions throughout. I felt a state of confusion at times of how i felt, did i loathe him or love him? 😉Lucas is very different! Dark brutal and has a need for death and obsession …Chanel - a strong witty woman full of fire and wit and won’t even let Lucas intimidate her! HerThese two have a chemistry that’s ready to blow up, Lucas’ dark desires brings out Chanel’s unknown need. The darkness they play with is dangerously exhilarating!Lucas’ dark un-nerving, psycho ways makes the pleasure forbidden.A plot within a mafia world so expect danger, fear and twists! And that ending ?It will make you stop breathing, your stomach drops. A feeling on dread, of panic but excitement and your left with instant anticipation… the countdown for the never book is on!

This story is intense, dark and dangerous, but also captivating, thrilling and so so  addictive.This is a well written story which is dark, raw, gritty, full of secrets, emotions, humor, witty banter, love and sinful steam.Chanel is strong, fiesty and keeps Lucas on his toes. The push and pull was delicious.Lucas is sinful, dark and obsessed with Chanel. That ending .... so well written that your frustrated but equally excited for the next book.

This is honestly my favourite book ive read from TLSmith by far. I just cant get over the cliffhanger at the end! I hate Lucas and loved Kier but omg Lucas is definitely more of a dangerous man than Kier in. Im surprised he isnt the Boss of the Mafia with what ive just read. I cant wait for book 2 to come out next month.

I really enjoyed the story line. Lucas is so different to keir. I love how involved keir is in this book. Lucas is all kinds of messed up and Chanel is definitely mentally strong I hope to see this more in the second book. What did I just read? The ending has left me feeling all kinda emotions. Can’t wait for book 2.

This is my first book by this author and I really liked it. It’s dark, so please beware of this if you have triggers.It took me a little while to get into this book, because at the beginning Lucas freaked me out. He is on the edge of being a psychopath. But once I got into it, I loved it. I really loved Chanel. She takes no prisoners, especially where her brother is concerned.Lucas doesn’t want to fall for Chanel but it is obvious when he does. The chemistry between them is epic.Lucas grew on me. I started to see some redeemable parts of him and I could see how he could be good for Chanel.The cliffhanger ending was good and I can’t wait to see what comes next.Steamy, strong characters and lots of violence. Highly recommend

I loved this duet! And I love how it’s a follow on from previous duets, I love seeing the involvement of characters from other books!Luca is so bad but so amazing too!

Very good book. This and the first one with Keir rocked because of the way the characters are written. They both are very different types of people who are very intense. On to the next one. Definitely worth the read.

Read the triggers before reading!This book is everything dark and exactly what I needed! I’m mad it ended that way can’t wait for the next!

I love LOVE Lucas it's so good to read a book that has a female that takes no crap no matter what..

OMG...I cannot deal with this duet. I LOVED it so much! Lucas is the guy you want to hate. In fact, you hate him just from the prolong of the story and you wonder "how in the heck is this author going to make me fall for this guy?". LET ME TELL YOU...you will fall for him hard!!!! He has an obsession and once he has an obsession, there is no going back. He wants Chanel. Chanel knows how bad of a man Lucas is and she tries so hard to stay away but it's impossible to stay away from a guy like Lucas. She doesn't want to have feelings for him but she does. Book #2 of their story is so dang good too!! You won't be able to put these books down. It's going to the top of my favorites list for sure.

Can't wait to read the next book to find out what happens. Does Lucas save her before it's too late
