Sinner

This one is HOT, HOT, HOT! Gabriel embarks on a sensual journey with the help of Everly. This book gives a really interesting perspective. Gabriel is an ex-priest who is questioning most everything and he has no anchor for this uncharted territory. Lucky for him he has Everly in his life. Things get very steamy between the two. Keep a cold glass of water near by because you may need it. I could feel the connection and emotion between Everly and Gabriel which makes this book for me. Along with the steam we get the emotional connection between the characters. It was a quick read for me that could be read in one sitting or in a couple days.

Hot and sexy. There's something about naughty priest/former priest stories that really suck me in and I really liked this one. Gabriel and Everly appeared in Taboo but this book stands fine all on its own. Sinner dives right into the sexy time with Everly discovering Gabriel naked in his pool when she comes to get his dog for a walk. There were parts of this sexy story that made me laugh – almost to the point of tears, and other parts that made me sad for Gabriel. I enjoyed his journey as Everly helped him discover the pleasures of sex and love with something besides his own hand. There was only one thing that bothered me, which kept it from being a 5-star review. There was no conclusion to something Gabriel witnessed. I really can't say more without giving away too much. I wouldn't call it a cliffhanger at all as I don't think it will be brought up in the upcoming books, I would just have liked more of a resolution to what happened. This was a pretty short novella; I finished it in less than 2 hours. The story ended at 80% for me on my ereader; I wish it had been just a tad longer. An advanced copy of this book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.

***4 Stars*** After meeting Gabriel in Taboo I was keeping my toes crossed that we’d get more Gabriel, as well as Goliath, in another book in this series because who wouldn’t want to know more about a man who was once a priest in the Catholic faith and left it? And I was all kinds of happy when Sinner dropped into my heads and found that it was Gabriel’s story and must say that I loved getting to know the man behind the robes. Sinner was all kinds of smexy (of course) but it was also filled with heart as Gabriel search for forgiveness, redemption and what his purpose would be in this next chapter of his life. My heart hurt for Gabriel because here is a man who truly believed in the goodness that the faith he’d given his heart and soul to, but then broke when the blinders were ripped off and he realized his own ingrained sense of honor didn’t match those of his brethren and now has to find a way to come to terms with his new reality. I really liked Everly. She’s kind, open and has a stubborn, yet compassionate, determination that makes her one hell of a strong woman. She’s comfortable in her own skin and not afraid to take charge when necessary. I really enjoyed how Gabriel and Everly’s relationship evolved. Despite the short amount of time, it never felt rushed because we dive in at an important crossroads and never look back. The chemistry between them is intense and I loved how Everly was the one who took charge in more ways than one, but still gave Gabriel the reins when he was ready for it. The roadblocks to their HEA are deep, but I really liked how everything worked itself out. This was a quick, smexy and well written novella. The hot topic issue was presented in a realistic and respectful manner and I like how it was all handled in the end. Catching up with Jase, Ian and Casey was fun and Goliath was just a sweetheart. So, if you’re looking for a quick, hot read, then this one is for you! ~ Copy provided by the author & voluntarily reviewed ~
