Duets are a special kind of reading experience: You get the excitement and thrill of a cliffhanger with the reassurance that all will be resolved in the next book, and they are perfect for the impatient or commitment-phobic reader. I’m always on the lookout for the next stellar duet to read and recommend, and I’m excited to share one that I’ve just started and am halfway through – Tara Leigh’s The Wages of Sin. The first installment, Cruel Sanctuary, is out today and the second, Corrupt Savior, releases on May 13, and it is a sinfully sexy, unpredictable must-read with an engrossing plot.
In order to celebrate its release and the duet, Tara is joining me today at Frolic, and we’re recommending some of our all-time favorite 2-book series.

Cruel Sanctuary by Tara Leigh, out now!
They say New York City is the Devil’s Playground.
They’re wrong.
This city belongs to me.
And so does Aislinn Granville.
She is a pampered politician’s daughter.
A decorative ornament,
raised to smile and nod and do what she’s told.
Except… she doesn’t. Not with me. Ever.
In this city full of thugs and thieves, I’ve kept Aislinn safe.
From my enemies.
From me.
Until now.
