Love the Sinner is interesting in the fact that one of the main characters is not a very likeable guy. Angelo Pagan is a gangster, pure and simple. He's killed people, participated in gun running and is just an all-around bad guy. Normally, I would not be very sympathetic to this type of character, but Ms. Ashton pulls it off. Just like Miss Kitty in Gunsmoke, who was the hooker with a heart of gold that Sheriff Matt Dillon loved none-the-less, Angelo and Gabriel are drawn together despite their opposite backgrounds.While I had a hard time at first believing that a cop like Gabriel would seemingly throw away his career for someone like Angelo, the more I read about Angelo and his family, the more I understood why he was in that life. Plus, the chemistry between the two men was off the charts, which might have explained why Gabe just couldn't stay away from Angelo.The dark tone of the this novel may not be for every reader, but as with any dark-themed book, there is a glimmer of hope as in the end you'll be cheering for Angelo and Gabriel's happy ending, if that is at all possible when you have a career criminal falling in love with a police officer.With a tight writing style, a compelling plot and memorable characters, I will be eagerly looking forward to more titles from this author!Dark Divas Reviews
