ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 7, 2017
Falling in love will be brutal.
Bryan is ruthless, heartless, and more than a little proud of his notorious reputation, until his bad attitude threatens to strip him of the one place he can’t live without. His sanctuary. The Vault. The exclusive club is the only place he feels at home, and he’ll do whatever it takes to reclaim what is his. Even if it means asking for help from the woman who landed him in trouble in the first place.
Pamela may have become weak-kneed over Bryan’s talented hands once before, but this self-empowered widow isn’t stupid enough to want more from the sanctimonious ass. Nope. At least that’s what she tells herself before he turns up at her café, offering to refresh her memory on his skilled fingers and filthy words in exchange for a favor.
He needs her to set things straight in the Vault. She needs him to satisfy the cravings of fulfillment she’s been missing. It’s a match made in hedonistic heaven, until hostility turns to lust, and lust into passion, capturing them both in an emotional web neither one of them want to be ensnared in.

REVIEW: BRUTAL SIN is the third installment in Eden Summers’ contemporary, adult THE VAULT erotic, romance series focusing on three friends-Leo, TJ (Tate) and Brute (Bryan)- who own a private sex club known as the Vault of Sin where anything goes between consenting adults. This is Bryan ‘Brute’ Munro, and café owner Pamela aka Ella’s story line. BRUTAL SIN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Bryan and Ella) BRUTAL SIN follows the building but tumultuous relationship between the dark and broody co-owner of the sex club The Vault, and widowed café owner Ella. Since the death of her husband Lucas, Ella has never found another man able to satisfy her sexual needs, and a membership and the men at exclusive sex club The Vault weren’t producing the kind of satisfaction she was hoping to find. Enter club co-owner Bryan ‘Brute’ Munro, and the man that would bring our heroine to her knees. But Bryan Munro is a tormented and broken hero whose past is dark, and his attitude darker. What ensues is the building relationship and reluctant romance between two impassioned people where anger and rage bring forth the emotional union.
Bryan’s nickname Brute not only belies his attitude and emotions but also his persona at the sex club The Vault. Dark, dangerous, brooding and capricious Bryan’s rule is no seconds with any women including the woman that is calling to his heart. Ella’s desperate attempts to find someone who knows what it is she wants and feels finds our heroine pushing all of Bryan’s buttons-buttons that when pushed, push Bryan a little too far.
The relationship between Ella and Bryan is tempestuous at best. Bryan doesn’t do relationships, love, or family, and barely tolerates his business partners and friends. But Bryan’s cold façade hides a bitter past, a past that resurfaces, too little too late. Ella’s struggle is real, and Bryan is the only man capable of giving Ella what it is she needs and wants. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
All of the previous story line couples play secondary and supporting roles including TJ and Cassis (Union of Sin #2) and Leo and Shay (A Shot of Sin #1). We are also introduced to Ella’s sister Kim, and her mother-two women who love and work with our story line heroine.
BRUTAL SIN is an intense and emotional story line. Although we know very little about their back stories, we get a small glimpse into the fractured family dynamics between Bryan and the people he left behind. The premise is engaging and dramatic; the characters are energetic and passionate; the romance is provocative and fierce. My only issue is the lack of real information regarding Bryan’s past, and what precipitated our hero’s slow decent into h*ll.
