Sin: An Erotic Collection of Novellas
Bestselling author Jess Michaels tells three erotic stories of seduction in this compilation of her popular "Sin" series of novellas.
Wager of Sin
Scandalous widow Bianca Clairmonte has spent the last year of her life running through a string of lovers and losing at card games in the hells to her late husband's best friend, Lucius "Hawk" Hawkins. But when her loving, but disapproving father threatens to have her declared unfit to force her home and back into a staid existence, she realizes she'll need her lost fortune back to flee the country. She proposes a wager to Hawk. Spend a month in her bed and if he ends up begging for more, she wins her money back. But Hawk wants more than a month, and he'll take Bianca to her breaking point in order to win her love, as well as her body.
The Sweetest Sin
When their secret marriage was illegally annulled five years before, Landon Hawkins swore he would never love again and that he would never forgive Juliana Russell for her utter betrayal. But now she has turned to him, requesting that he help her recover her missing sister and the lust and pain he has hidden all this time come rushing back. He strikes a dangerous bargain with her. he'll search for her sister during the day, but at night Juliana belongs to him in every way. But Landon may not be able to purge his desire for Juliana as easily as he thinks. Not when the fire of the love they once shared begins to be rekindled with every touch.
Sin's Mistress
Raphael Sinclair is the most debauched of rakes and rogues. When he wants something he takes it, whether it be revenge or a woman. And now he wants both. Evelyn Greville's father is Sin's worst enemy. And what better way to purge a stunning desire for the innocent miss and ruin her father than to have her in every wicked way his clever mind can imagine. But Evelyn is not as innocent as she seems... and he may be the one conquered by Sin's Mistress.

My Rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Sin for me reads more like a novel rather than a collection of novellas so I'll review it as a whole.
It starts off with Bianca and Hawk, the connection between them being her late husband, also Hawk's best friend. Her husband Oscar was a real ass, introducing his virgin wife to all sorts of depraved sexual acts while keeping his best friend away from her because he sensed a true attraction between the two of them. Despite him, they still became good friends and platonic partners in crime.
The sexual relationship develops about a year after his death when Bianca proposes her outrageous bet in order to win back money she lost to Hawk while gambling. Hawk proves himself a worthy adversary, mostly because he has wanted her since they first met. Bianca, on the other hand, I wanted to strangle because her freedom was more important to her than Hawk. Needless to say, they overcome their differences and end up marrying each other.
I like Bianca's character better in the second part, The Sweetest Sin. It seemed that she and Hawk were a lot more alive there, although it focused on Hawk's older brother Landon and his secret wife, Julianna. This story I liked a lot more than the first because the hurt between them was a lot more believable. I love the way Jess Michaels handled the two main characters in this story!
Landon is typical male in his view of Juliana's "betrayal" while poor Juliana acts as expected of an abused child and woman. Thankfully Landon sees his errors before his wife is completely broken.
In my opinion, the steamiest part was saved for last. Sin is the ultimate bad guy, planning the destruction of the man who played a big part in the death of his father by intending to hurt him in the way he thought would be most painful - by forcing him to sign over his youngest daughter (and Juliana's sister) for ten days of seduction. The plan backfires though. The girls' father couldn't care less and Evelyn herself was very happy to find out that Sin was the man who wanted to ruin her!
Apparently Evelyn had been writing erotica for a very long time, all with Sin in the starring role. She intends to make these ten days the most memorable of her life, which is really disconcerting for Sin! This acceptance of her predicament and the resolution to make the best of what she has makes her the strongest character of all. I think this is what makes Sin see there is more to her than he first thought and change his mind on his plan for revenge.
This is a novel that I have read (and re-read multiple times) and totally enjoyed! I love it when a family comes together.

Wager of Sin- 3 stars. Good solid story, but didn’t love it. The story of Hawk and Bianca. Bianca is the widow of Hawk’s best friend and now that she has her independence she will do anything to keep it. Even if that means entering into a wager with Hawk to regain money she had lost to him during their gambling in the gaming hells of London.
The Sweetest Sin- 3.5 stars. Good story, just short of great. The story of Landon (Hawk’s older brother) and Juliana. This is a found-again type of love story. At the beginning of the novella the characters are together and already in love. Then something keeps them apart. Now, 5 years later Juliana needs Landon’s help to find her missing sister Evelyn.
Sin's Mistress- 4 stars. My favorite of the three novella’s. Well written, love the characters. This is sort of a kidnapping story (you’ll have to read it to understand). This is the story of Sin and Evelyn (Juliana’s younger sister). In exchange for forgiving Evelyn’s dad’s debt to him he is willing to take Evelyn for 10 days. Sin has found out Evelyn’s secret and he’s willing to use it against her. Evelyn has always liked Sin, can she make him love her in return? Or will their secrets ruin everything?

Great reads.
I love anything Jess Michaels puts out there.
According to my notes, I had read book 2 of this series in a collaboration several years ago but certainly didn't remember it. I picked up this book for 2 reasons. It has a great cover and love Jess Michaels. All three stories were well written and good reads.

Very enjoyable collection of erotic romance novellas. Great characters and lots of depth.
February 18, 2019
I'll start with reviewing my favorite story of the three novellas, The Sweetest Sin. I absolutely adore the two protagonists Landon and Julianna who were eloped five years ago. It should have been a happy ending but their marriage was annulled when Julianna's father, Lord Trevington, caught up to them and forced her to marry the Duke of Breckinhill. The story, however, starts when five years later, Julianna, now a widow goes to Landon for help to save her sister Evelyn who their father has used to pay off his gambling debts. Naturally, Landon asks that she become his mistress in exchange for helping her find her sister. The book flowed rather nicely and despite it being a novella, I feel that it had a lot of depth and the characters, well drawn out. By the end of the book, I ended up rooting for both Landon and Julianna to get their happy ending. This story also introduces us to Evelyn who we will read about in the third book Sin's Mistress. I gave this novella 5 hearts!
In A Wager of Sin, Bianca, now a widow makes a bet with Hawk (Landon's brother). If she wins, all her debts will be paid and if he wins, she becomes his mistress. Pretty simple, right? Apparently, Bianca was married to Hawk's best friend and Hawk felt responsible for his demise when he had an accident because they were drunk the night before. I also liked this story but not as much as I loved The Sweetest Sin. The story was fast paced and also very steamy, perhaps more steamy than the second book. I enjoyed reading about Hawk and Bianca and loved Bianca's transformation into a headstrong widow into an independent woman. I give this novella 4 hearts.
The last book of the series, Sin's Mistress is about Evelyn, Juliana's sister, who we read out about in The Sweetest Sin. She was sold in exchange to settle her father, Lord Trevington's gambling debts to Raphael Sinclair, known as Sin. Apparently, he has been lusting after Evelyn for quite some time and had planned Trevington's downfall so that he can have her in exchange. He takes her to his estate in Devon and introduces her into his life. I actually thought this novella was okay. And yes I admit, it is not my favorite. Despite the characters being well drawn out, I did not warm up to Sin as I hoped and I did not like Evelyn's transformation as much. I give this novella 3 hearts.
I bought the Sin Anthology when it was on sale for $1.99 at Barnes and Noble a couple of years ago and I have been re-reading this anthology multiple times. Personally, I love revisiting my favorite characters and books multiple times and this Anthology was a bargain. I give the whole anthology just because I thought the last novella was okay. Overall, each of the characters was well drawn out and despite it being a novella, I got the feeling that it was a full novel. It was fast-paced and extremely steamy (but not too much as to overwhelm the story).

Sin is a novella which includes three stories by Jess Michaels: Wager of Sin, The Sweetest Sin and Sin's Mistress.
Wager of Sin: Bianca's scandalous ways are barely tolerated by the ton and her father has threatened to lock her away if her behavior does not approve. She has been spending a lot of her time in gaming hells with her late husband's best friend, Hawk. Unfortunately, she has lost a large sum of money to him and needs it to move far away from her family. She approaches him with a bargain. Bianca will be his mistress for a month and if at the end of their time together he begs her to stay she will get all her money back from him. Hawk agrees on the condition that she has to continue to be his mistress if she is the one begging at the end of the month. Who will be the winner of this bargain?
The Sweetest Sin: The story opens with Landon (Hawk's brother) and Juliana enjoying their wedding night. It is soon disrupted when Juliana's father snatches her away. He quickly has the wedding annulled (illegally) and she is soon married to another. It is now 5 years later and Juliana is a widow. She needs Landon's help finding her sister whom has been sold off to pay her father's gambling debts. Juliana doesn't want what happened to her to happen to her sister. Landon agrees on the condition that Juliana is in his bed from sunset to sunrise everyday. Will Juliana find her sister in time? Will Landon get his wife back?
Sin's Mistress: Evelyn (Juliana's sister) has been sold off to Sin to pay off her father's gambling debts. She arrives at Sin's home in the country with no idea who she has been sold off to. Sin has found out a secret about Evelyn and uses it against her after she arrives. But will this secret make Juliana's stay with Sin unbearable or will it be the most exciting 10 days of her life.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved that the characters were carried throughout each one. Please note that this is an erotic romance and not for the faint of heart! While there were lots of explicit sex scenes there was still a very nice storyline and I enjoyed getting to know the characters.

Three super steamy novellas wrapped up in one lovely package. I admit I am normally not a fan of the novella, but I loved that fact that all three stories were interlinked through the characters. All three stories are very hot. It was easy for me to become wrapped up in the emotions of these characters and wish for them the happiness they deserved. I highly recommend this wonderful erotic read!
First we meet Bianca and Hawk in Wager of Sin. Afraid that her father will declare her unfit to care for herself, Bianca needs to reclaim her gambling losses from Hawk so that she may keep her independence. Bianca decides to make a wager with Hawk, she will spend the next month in is bed and if at the end of the month he is begging for more, she will win her money back. Hawk agrees but adds to the wager if Bianca is the one begging she will remain is mistress. Both have loved each other from afar for years, can there truly be a winner in this Wager of Sin?
Next we learn more about the history of Hawk’s prudish brother Landon in The Sweetest Sin. Shocked to find out the upstanding Landon hasn’t always been so perfect. Five years ago he was secretly married to the lovely Juliana. When the couple is found together, for reasons unknown to Landon, Juliana claims she was forced to marry and receives an annulment to marry another. Landon has never gotten over this betrayal and now, five years later when Juliana comes to him for assistance in locating her sister. Landon takes his revenge in a most pleasurable way.
Finally in Sin’s Mistress we meet Evelyn (Juliana’s sister) and Raphael Sinclair, better known as Sin. Sin is out for revenge against Evelyn’s father, Lord Trevington and because he can’t get Evelyn out of his mind decides to use her in his plot for revenge. He takes Evelyn as payment for Lord Trevington’s gambling debts, for the next 10 days Sin will own her and educate her in his decadent lifestyle. Will Sin get the revenge he so lusted after or will he find a sweeter reward?

The Sweetest Sin 4*
This was a good erotic short story about a love that lasted through the heart ache of lies. Juliana lies to Landon to save her sister from her fathers gambling debts. Five years later Juliana goes to Landon to help her find her sister after her father has sold her to payoff a debt. I liked this story a lot it had a great story line.
Sin's Mistress 3.75*
This was a good erotic short story of a man bent on revenge and a woman he's going to use to mete out that revenge and ruin her in the process. Sin and Evelyn had great chemistry and some very hot sex.

I've tried, I really, really have. And I wanted to like this book. I've read one of this author's newer works and liked it, but this, ugh. I had to give up near the end of the first story at 36% because it was dragging on and on. The stupidity of the characters was making me insane. I didn't like anyone. I didn't understand what the hero and heroine saw in each other. I was hoping the villain would pull the trigger while holding the heroine at gun point. When it gets to that point and all you're doing is rolling your eyes at the story, it's time to give up. Since these are older stories by this author, I'll stick with her newer works.

Jess Michael's is a master at writing steamy erotic historical romance. So when I saw this "Sin" bundle of erotic novellas I couldn't resist even though I do not normally buy novellas. The characters in each story were linked to each other through family bonds, so they built on one another. I was very happy that I took the leap of faith in JM. Each novella was incredibly steamy hot and the stories were emotional and heartfelt. The characters definitely got under my skin and I cared very much for them all to find their happy endings. I would most definitely recommend this trilogy!

Three related historical novellas that definitely fall on the erotic side. I think my favorite was the first - Bianca and Hawk. I felt like each character and each couple was unique, though a lot of their relationship issues were the same. I didn't read them back to back, so that might be why. Overall, very enjoyable.

It was only when I was halfway through Wager of Sin that I realised I had read this 3 story novella before. However, I finished the book as the three stories were excellent reading.
Hot, sexy and erotic!

This is pretty typical erotica fare -- the three novellas were long on sex and short on plot. It was enjoyable, but had very little depth.

A collection of three inter-connected erotic historical romance stories.
Of the three, the last story has the strongest plot line, even though it gets the role of Dominate and Submissive wrong.
