Sinners' Playground

A Dark Gang Romance (The Harlequin Crew, Book 1)

By: Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti

Narrated by: Bridget Bordeaux, Jake Bordeaux

Dead girls don’t feel pain. But they like the taste of vengeance.

Maybe that’s why I came back to my hometown. Because it sure as hell wasn’t for the surf. But what else was I supposed to do when I found myself in Sunset Cove with twenty bucks to my name, the key to my enemies’ secrets hanging around my neck and a mouth full of grave dirt that wouldn’t wash clean?

I hate the Harlequin boys.

But this is the perfect opportunity to take what they owe me. Because once upon a time, they broke my heart, stole my life and sent me away from everything I’d ever known.

Fox, JJ, Chase, and Maverick.

The four names tattooed onto my heart more permanently than any of the ink on my skin. They don’t just live in this town anymore, they rule it. And the view here may be beautiful, but the sun, sea and sand hide dark secrets.

The gangs. The lies. The violence.

It all lurks beneath a veil so thin that once you’ve seen through it, you can never close your eyes to the truth again.

But I don’t plan on closing my eyes. I have four devils set in my sights. And this dead girl no longer has anything to lose.

This is an enemies to lovers contemporary series where the girl will end up with multiple love interests and all of the characters are in their late twenties. Trigger warning: This series features gangs, violence, dark romance, and jealous/possessive themes.

Outstanding book

I've mentioned certain authors being a match made in heaven before. I love seeing 2 authors combine their powers and blend their styles into an amazing book.

These authors surpass that, although I suspect their match was forged in someplace far more nefarious, because they are downright evil when it comes to their cliffhangers. But, I do like a good cliffhanger, despite me throwing my kindle across the room and cussing out the authors for pulling this squid on me. But I digress...
What I basically want to say is that these authors write as one. They are so in tune and deliver the most compelling books in fast succession. How they do it? I have no idea, but I suspect there's a deal with a demon involved.

Insert Sinners' Playground, their newest brainchild, picking up 10 years after the prequel novella Devil's Pass.
FMC Rogue finds herself back in Sunset Cove, despite the threats looming over her. She has one thing on her mind: revenge. Being faced with the demons (or Harlequins) from her past did not go as she expected it would.

The story that ensues is enthralling, action packed, fun, sweet, made me angry, ... in short, it had ALL the feels wrapped in a neat big bow.
I won't go into detail, because it would sell this story short. This is a must read, executed masterfully by these two evil geniuses with one shared mind and given life by these amazing narrators.

Exciting start to a fun series!

I can’t wait for the next book! These authors write the only cliffhanger books I’ll read! So far the first book and a half have been a wild ride and I am excited to listen to the next one ASAP! These narrators make an already awesome book even better!

so emotional, in the best way, on audio

i love to re-read my favorite books on audio and harlequin crew is no exception. there's so much history and pain between rogue and the harlequin boys that is brought to life by bridget and jake's narrations. the audiobook is smooth and keeps you interested until all of a sudden the book is over and you're left reeling and downloading the next book asap.

Love it!

Twisted sisters and the Bordeauxs did it again. This is a wonderful "why choose" story and the Bordeauxs voice it all so well!

Loveeee itttttt

I love the storyline and the authors always write there books beautifully!!! I’m coming from reading the zodiac academy series to this series and I can’t get enough!!!
