Sinful Desires I-V was a fast-paced interesting story. There was a little bit of everything-love, friendship, teenage dreams coming true, lies, which all made for a spectacular love triangle. The books were well-written and had interesting characters that came alive with Ms. Parker’s writing. Each book is approximately 100 pages which I read the entire series over an afternoon. This series needs to be read in order and is an added bonus if you are able to read them all at one time. I enjoyed this series as I have enjoyed Ms. Parker’s other books. I would give this series 5 stars and recommend that it be a must-read on anyone’s list.
