Blurb
I’m not a good man, and I’ve never pretended to be. I don’t believe in goodness or God or any happy ending that isn’t paid for in advance.
What do I believe in? Money. Sex. Macallan 18.
They have words for men like me—playboy. Womanizer. Skirt chaser.
My brother used to be a priest, and he only has one word for me.
Sinner.
***Sinner is a standalone companion to Priest about Father Bell's brother Sean. You do not have to read Priest or Midnight Mass to read Sinner.***
EXCERPT
“Zenny,” I mumble against her lips, some valiant part of me recognizing that this is far, far beyond the kiss she asked for, and also recognizing that I’m going to come all over the inside of my Hugo Boss suit pants if she keeps it up. Even through the clothes, I can feel her heat, her shameless rolls hinting at where she goes soft and wet between her legs.
Fuck, I want to see it. I want to see her pussy. It’s suddenly all I can think about, all I can want or crave, just one glimpse, just a peek.
“I want to see your cunt,” I say hoarsely, lifting my head.
“My…cunt?” She says the word like she’s never said it out loud before.
“Yeah.” My voice is so ragged right now, so desperate, and fuck, I’ve never felt this frantic before. Like I’ll actually combust if I don’t get this one thing, this one small sight of her secret place.
She lets out a shaky breath, her hand dropping from my lapel to her skirt, which she slowly rucks up to her waist as I devour her lips once more, as I bury my face in her neck and kiss every sliver of skin exposed above her collar. I bite at her ear, at her jaw, my hand finding hers as it pulls her skirt up, so that I’m helping her do it, that we’re doing it together, this forbidden act, this forbidden revelation.
Her forbidden body.
That word, forbidden, spikes through my mind, bringing with it equal spikes of lust and fear. Because yes, it’s fucking hot that I shouldn’t be kissing her, I shouldn’t be begging to see her most secret place, my hand shouldn’t be covering hers as it slides up her thigh—but it’s also bad. Bad even for Sean Bell.
Bad, bad, bad.
4 Stars!
So, I have to make a confession, I've had Priest and the New Camelot series on my kindle for a long time, however, I haven't had time to read them. Still, I have been really curious and I jumped when given the chance to review Sinner and I wasn't disappointed.
I absolutely adored Sean. There's just something about an alpha male, a womanizer, a sinner who becomes vulnerable when he finally falls for someone, that just calls to me. That's my favorite type of male lead and Sean is just someone that feels so real, flawed and relatable. He's the ultimate protector, he's caring and wants to provide for his family, be it monetarily or supporting them as best he can. Seeing him put everything aside to go with his mom to her chemo treatments, reading romance novels to her and the other patients or to be with her at the hospital was endearing.
Unfortunately, I can't say I loved Zenny. I liked her, but I thought she was way too young for Sean. Also, while she was mature in some senses, she showed her age in others. She was strong and fierce, but there were moments in which her stubbornness made me want to strangle her.
The chemistry between Sean and Zenny was undeniable, and the sex scenes were really hot and passionate, however, I felt Zenny was too sexual for someone that wanted to become a nun and for someone that was supposed to be an almost-virgin.
I loved Sean's family. The arc with his mom's illness was heartbreaking and I ended up sobbing while reading it. His mother, father and brothers were amazing and so close to each other, which was understandable after the way they lost Lizzy, Sean's sister. I'm very curious over Aiden, and I really hope Ms. Simone would consider writing his book.
Sean's journey back to believing in God was really well done, it was gradual and progressed in a very natural manner, with both Zenny and his mother's sickness being the catalysts for him to have faith again.
Overall, I really enjoyed Sinner. Ms. Simone's writing is masterful and she definitely knows how to weave a tale that will burrow into the reader's heart. Thought-provoking, sexy and engaging, this is a book I'd very likely read again. While this is my first book by Sierra Simone, you can bet I'll be making some time to read the other books by her I have on my Kindle. Very recommendable.
