What can I say about this book?

The first thing is that I am speechless.

I was looking forward to reading the story between Hayden and Alessandra since volume 1. I felt that there was something incredible and sad behind their walls.

Their past broke me, it is beautiful and very sad at the same time. Which makes us better understand Hayden's actions and why he is so protective of Aurora.

Hayden and Alessandra have wonderful chemistry. For me, she is the best in the series.

I can't tell you about one of my favorite moments because it would be a spoiler.

But I can tell you that I loved the relationship between Alessandra and Cameron (my favorite). These two have a brother and sister relationship. We feel that even if they haven't known each other for a long time, they will be there for each other.

In just a few weeks, Alessandra found a new family and the same for Hayden.

I can't wait to read the next and final volume, about Cameron.

In any case, a big thank you to Bianca Borell for supporting me through messages and trusting me with her book.

This book and series was addicting. Sinner's Redemption is the third book in the Syndicate of Sinners series. This book was so emotional! Thank you to The Authors Agency for this arc.

[Amber (Amber Reads Romance) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sinner's Redemption is the third book in the Syndicate of Sinners series. However, you could read this as a standalone. I have not read the previous books and still thoroughly enjoyed this book. It would probably be even better if you read the first two books, though.

This book is told in two timelines. The first 35% takes place in the past and shows how Hayden and Alessandra fell in love when they were younger. It was an insta love situation that was full of young, first love. Hayden met Alessandra when she was volunteering at his grandmother’s nursing home. He instantly falls hard for her they begin a whirlwind relationship. However, Alessandra is the daughter of a high-ranking member of the cartel. He allowed them to date, but he had different plans for his daughter. Tragedy strikes our young couple, which leads to devastating consequences.

We jump to seven years later, and Hayden is back for revenge. Alessandra has worked extremely hard to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a doctor, but her life is empty without Hayden. Hayden kidnaps her to exact revenge on her and her family. He has changed from the sweet and loving boy she knew into a ruthless businessman with some mafia ties.

There was so much angst for the rest of this book. It was so sad how the actions of others broke them and changed their lives. Alessandra tries to find the boy she loves and make amends for the past. Hayden can't deny how much he still loves her even though he tries to push her away.

This is an amazing and emotional second chance romance. Their chemistry was insane and you could feel that they were soul mates. The sex was very hot, with some Dom/sub vibes.

I will definitely need to read the previous books. I might have been missing more of his brothers' and sisters' stories, and I'm very intrigued.

Read this book if you like:

Second Chance
Mafia Romance
Captor/ Kidnapping Situation
Revenge Plot
Good Boy turned Bad

from the very first book I was looking forward for Hayden & Alexandra's story.

Hayden has intrigued me throughout as he seemed to be the least bad of the entire sinner syndicate but I knew there was more to the story.

Hayden saw Alexandra for the first time in his Grandmother's facility volenteering & he knew she was it for him.

Alexandra was the only daughter of the Mafia Cartel and had the dream of being the best trauma surgeon...

There is an instant pull & falling in love is easy for them..

But there love couldn't withstand the wrath of the dark world that lurked around.

Now Hayden is back after seven years to take revenge for everything he lost but Alexandra knows their love was stronger than this.

I loved the angst, the pain and god I didnt knw Hayden had Dom tendencies.

this book is my favourite in this series & I cant wait for Cameron's book.

[Amanda Mercedes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Okay I should have definitely read the blurb again going into this one because I was initially confused. The first 30% of the book did not match the cover. It was essentially Hayden and Alessandra falling in love SUPER quick at 20 and 18, respectively, and I was like this seems very sunshine and rainbows, am I missing something? And then the /something/ happens, and we do a time skip and I was like.. OHHHH. So yeah, that was my bad. So if you’re like me and the beginning throws you off, don’t give up on it! Also this is the third book. It can be read as standalone, but I can tell context really helps, as I haven’t (yet) read the other two.
It’s hard to summarize this book without spoiling the big event, so I am just going to say these two were severely in love, something happens, time passes, they’re brought back together again, but he hates her and she still loves him. He fights his hatred by punishing her, in a steamy way mostly, except he can’t really bring himself to actually really punish her and ends up panicking if something actually bad happens. Will they ever be the same again?

Thank you Literally Yours PR for the early copy!

Tropes:
-lovers to enemies (to lovers)
-kidnapping/captive
-insta love
-mafia
-second chance
-good boy turned bad

4.5⭐️
Alessandra & Hayden💕
This book has me on chokehold throughout. Started as sweet teenage love story which grew into a emotional, angsty read. Had tears from 30% of the book.

Hayden lost his family because of love , so he grew resentful for the woman he loved.But the things he did vengeance had backfired on him.

Alessandra who spent the past 7 years thinking the love of her died, only to know he was alive all along and planning a revenge on her.

“Whatever part of me that loved you like you were my all, you stomped on it by breaking my heart.”

Hayden has other thing coming he can’t control himself around her.

“She said it’s me or my vengeance.”

“And I will choose what I can’t live without.”

What i loved the most is the bond between all 4 of the brothers together Kieran, Cameron, Cato and Hayden.

Tropes:
Soulmates to enemies to lovers
Second chance
Found family
Angst & emotional

Spice:🌶️🌶️🌶️

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Wow, this book was so good. It was a total rollercoaster. I didn't know whether to like love or hate Hayden. I was so shocked by Fabian and what happened. This book had all the emotions for me, and I honestly couldn't put it down. I love how Alessandra didn't want to give up being a doctor, and through everything that happened, she was so strong. I can't wait to read Camerons story, I know it's going to be great.

[Sissy's Romance Book Review · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sinner's Redemption by Bianca Borell is book Three in the Syndicate of Sinners Series. This is the story of Alessandra and Hayden. Hayden and Alessandra feel in love but was torn apart. Now in their present about 7 years later the misunderstanding is coming back full force. This is a interconnecting read so it does help to have read the previous book.

[♥ WishfulMiss ♥ · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was not expecting the emotional whiplash this book gave me! Maybe it's because it's been a while since I've read a revenge romance like this one.

Alessandra and Hayden meet when they are young and their first love is everything pure and innocent. It was almost too sweet how they instantly fall in love but I was swept up in the same breathless excitement of their first love. Of course their budding romance is overshadowed by Hayden's family drama and Alessandra's mobster father.

My heart yearns to yell, I'm all yours. An open book. Read me, devour me, just never put me on a bookshelf, discarded and forgotten, catching dust.

When Alessandra is made to choose between Hayden and his family, she tries to call her father's bluff and unknowingly greenlights a tragedy that will break her whole world.

Fast forward 7 years and Alessandra is surviving but not really living. Until she sees a ghost and wakes up, kidnapped by the man she loved and lost, only he isn't the same trusting man she first fell for. He's a twisted, guilt ridden, power hungry man that only lives for one thing, revenge.

There is seriously so much back and forth, hot and cold treatment from Hayden that I was climbing the walls by the end. I get that what he had to live with was so sad and unfair and just crazy but his twisted treatment of Alessandra was too the top. And the worst part was that Alessandra just took it, happily even!

I'll take the punishment. I have been dying to be punished.

These two were so broken and desperate to make amends and beg for forgiveness that it was all encompassing. There was so much grief, anger, hurt and blame that it overshadowed the romance. Sometimes things were so bleak, I honestly didn't know how either of these two could possibly exist together or reclaim their lost love.

Maybe if we break each other for good, we can finally escape this wretched connection. Love died long ago, hate will die too, and then I can find my peace.

This was not the type of read I normally pick up because it's so twisted and honestly just a debbie-downer with the overall depressing emotions that flowed so freely. When the MCs are more sad and self-deprecating then they are growing, loving and being happy/content humans, it's hard to warm up to it all.

An unforgiving past traps our love.

Luckily Hayden finally has an epiphany and he is able to finally overcome his inner demons. Props to Alessandra for holding out so much. She had some really intense emotional scenes that almost broke me! And special mention to Hayden's Grammy. She was a rock and possibly a saint for learning to forgive after all she lived through and for calling out Hayden when he was being his most obtuse!

Part of the Syndicate of Sinners each can be read as a standalone with a overprotective sexy and the women who captures his attention regardless if he wants her to or not so hang on and double check that you are buckled up, dangerous men, alpha’s personified, possessive, oh, gorgeous, brooding all the makings of a story consisting with three D’s (dark, delicious, and dirty) 😊. There will be suspense, betrayal, death, darkness, secrets reveled, violence, hope, forgiveness, and maybe even love (ALL THINGS TO EXPECT FROM THE MAFIA WORLD). By the time you’ve figured out who is who and what is what, you’re already hooked, and you may as well give up the fight and prepare yourself for an all-nighter! CAN’T SAY YOU WEREN’T WARNED!!!!! Let start of you want to give both of their younger selves a hug sexy as all get out Hayden and sweet Alessandra fell in love when they were younger she was the sweetest girl volunteering at the nursing home where she met his grandmother. Spending time with each other allowed them to fall for one another her father being who he was allowed her to spend time with him considering she was the daughter of a member of the cartel but we all know girls have one purpose the value they bring to their father nothing more or less her father had other plans for her life but neither of them could have foresaw where it was all headed. Fast forward years two fully grown adults now life has taken them both down different paths Alessandra has worked hard to become the doctor she dreamed of becoming but her life is empty, she is lonely and she thinks about her friend Hayden daily never imagining their paths would cross again in the way they would. Hayden is out for revenge against her, her family reasons unknown to her but he shows her he is no longer the sweet boy she loves/loved he is a ruthless man just like her father someone she doesn’t like especially seeing he kidnapped her to exact revenge for something she had no parts of or no knowledge. She tries her best to find the boy she once knew but can he get her to forgive him considering he hurt for things she didn’t do, things she knew nothing about, will he be man enough to admit his feelings for her, to be honest with her, to be honest with himself, will they both get the answers they are after, does he find it in him to forgive, to understand she didn’t make the decisions, can she see past him being just like her father, and is there happiness for these two?

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕?
Alessandra is a girl who spent her childhood in her father's secluded kingdom, shielded from the outside world. She never had any friends and received her education at home. Her one and only wish is to become the finest trauma surgeon. She began working at a nursing home for the elderly, where she took care of Hayden's grandmother.
Their love story was like something out of a fairy tale - love at first sight, head over heels in love with each other. They were inseparable until Hayden and Alessandra's world came crashing down.
On the flip side, Hayden is determined to do whatever it takes for their love to thrive, even in the face of Alessandra's disapproving father. But then, everything takes a dramatic turn.


𝑴𝒚 𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔:
I may be relatively new to the world of dark romance novels, but this one truly captivated me. If you're a fan of stories where friends turn into lovers, then enemies, and if you relish in the whirlwind of emotions and heartache, then this book is a must-read.
When I initially started reading, I was expecting a sweet love story, but what I got was so much more. This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster, and I couldn't help but form deep connections with the characters. It was truly an extraordinary experience.
Now, let me introduce you to Hayden, the ultimate book boyfriend. His transformation from a kind-hearted boy to someone with a darker edge due to the tragic loss of his family is nothing short of remarkable. Their love, forbidden by Alessandra's father, ultimately led to their untimely demise. After seven years of torment, Hayden buries his emotions deep within himself, all in the pursuit of revenge.
And then there's Alessandra, our compassionate protagonist. She endured seven long years grieving the loss of her first love and finally summoned the courage to challenge her father's oppressive rule.
What I loved most about this book was watching the characters grow and adapt throughout the story. Despite the immense pain of losing their families, they somehow managed to find a new sense of belonging and camaraderie on their journey.
The author deserves praise for skillfully portraying the intense chemistry and electric tension between Hayden and Alessandra.
Lastly, a heartfelt thank you for providing me with the ARC

This was my first book by Bianca but it will not be my last! This book took me on a ride and I was all for it! I went into pretty blind except for the tropes so I had somewhat of an idea and what it was about but I was not expecting THAT!

The beginning of the book was such a cute little romance between Hayden and Alessandra! But I think it signifies our youth and how naive we can be! Alessandra and Hayden are polar opposites. Hayden has to help his parents to get by while Alessandra lives in a mansion because her father is a mafia don.

Alessandra and Hayden met after she was a medical student taking care of his grandmother. She began to get close with Hayden and even his family! Her father could see that but he stayed in the background. Alessandra wanted to go to medical school to become a doctor and her father insists she focuses on her studies. Her father allows her to see Hayden for a limited amount of time until he drops a major bomb.

He tells Alessandra she will be having an arranged marriage with a gentleman named Raul who is also part of the mafia world. Alessandra tries to fight it but she speaks with Raul and they come up with a plan. He doesn't want a wife or a family, he wants the empire. He says if she does what she says, he will help her get back to Hayden.

They finally are reunited but not for long as her father finds both of them. He brings them in and expects them to pay for their betrayal. He makes Alessandra make the ultimate choice and it leads to Hayden never forgiving her.

Fast forward now it is seven years. Alessandra has gone about her life but hasn't moved on from Hayden and Hayden is expecting his revenge. He seeks Alessandra out and wants her to feel the hurt he was faced with all those years ago!

I don't want to give too much away..but wow this book was a page turner! I couldn't put it down and I had to know what happened next! There was suspense, spice, and angst! Such a great book!

I don't know from where to start.... This was for sure a magical read for me and I did wish to keep the book to myself as I turned cruel enough to not share Hayden.

Hayden and Alexandra are two lovely souls coming together but then their fate.... misleads them from their destiny. I suffered from lots of mixed emotions from this book and everything is completely worth it.

Hayden - He is superb sweet and caring but one incident that happens in his life makes him turn ruthless. But maybe that's all for the good in end. I did love the angst he showed. I am pretty sure no one can loath Hayden even if he is a monster.

Alexandra - She was completely stubborn and strong, made sure to fight for what she wants and that one thing which I loved so much about her is loyalty.

The author did an excellent job with the story line and characterisation. My favorite part is that, she bought the best emotions. Losing one of our family member at a time is not easy but when Hayden losses all of his dear family members in a go...... I wonder how much he suffered. That grief was beautiful brought out in the book.

My eyes tear up.... My heart beats faster.... My stomach dips..... Every page in this book made sure to have all these effects on my body.

P.S:- Hayden is the fictional man I am really obsessed with.... I don't even want to share him with anyone but then, a part of me would also love it if the world gets to meet this amazing man. Don't miss him....

A superb awesome book that is filled with lots of spicy scenes like a decadent dessert, It's rich, It's satisfying and left me wanting more.

Thanks a ton for providing an ARC of the book @Booksprout and @BiancaBorell I am superb thrilled to claim Hayden as my husband.... I loved every look and corner of the book and devoured it.

With a lot of pressure on her shoulders to become the worlds top surgeon, Alessandra didn’t live beyond the books she was studying from, until Hayden. Two people pulled together by something a little like love at first sight, right till the very moment their hearts are torn away.

“𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪,”

The threat of losing her changes Hayden. Sneaking around is no longer an option, he wants her and there’s nothing that can tear her away from him this time, he’ll make sure of it. He’s ready and it’s time for all of them to pay, even her.

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤 𝙣𝙤 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙞𝙣.“

Finding out about Alessandra’s reasons for being a doctor, gutted me, throw in Hayden’s family opening and I had my heartache kit on standby; that did nothing however to prepare me for all the emotions this book dragged me through, every up, every down, I was captivated then the spice hits new heights and suddenly I was d*ckmatized.

Hayden and Alessandra’s background story is one that is so painfilled and traumatic it’ll suck you in and put you through an emotional wringer before spitting you out at the end. They were each other’s first loves but given who Alessandra’s father was their love was doomed but still they tried until Alessandra was forced to make a choice no one should have to make let alone a teenage girl and especially not by someone who should only love her and want her happiness. Years later Alessandra is merely functioning, her career as a doctor the only thing she has in her life when the past comes back with a vengeance in the form of Hayden. Gone is the boy who once loved her with everything in him and the man he now is looks at her with nothing but hatred in his heart for her and the choice she made and determined to make her pay.

Sinner’s Redemption was the best book in the Syndicate of Sinners series by far. With an underlying plot that runs concurrent with the previous books so some of the story will be familiar to readers, this book had everything, intrigue and lust, angst and pain, love and hatred and ultimately revenge. But as much as Hayden hated Alessandra he couldn’t keep his hands off her and the chemistry between them was palpable. Who would’ve thought the teenage Hayden would end up so dark and dominant. There’s nothing I love more than a possessive hero and this author delivers one in spades here! Alessandra repeatedly tries to find some remnant of the boy hidden in the dark man he has become but every rejection breaks her just a little more. With one book left in this series I honestly don’t see how Bianca Borell can possibly top this one but I can’t wait to find out what she has in store for Cameron.

[Danielle Graves · Rating 4 out of 5]

This can only be described as a tragic love story. Starting with young love - sweet and innocent before tragedy turns it into something much darker. Hayden and Alessandra's story was full of heart and hurt as we watched them go from friends to lovers to enemies. It was an emotional whirlwind full of angst and raw, gritty emotion and I think the author did a brilliant job.

Hayden is out for revenge, and the only way he feels he can achieve that is to destroy Alessandra and hurt her. As we follow his journey of destruction, it's clear to see he's hurting himself just as much as he hurts her because as much as he wants to hate her, he loves her too. Alessandra is full of guilt and she struggles with the man Hayden has become because the boy she loved is gone, but she loves the man more even though it hurts. The dual POVs really helped convey both characters' pain as they tried to come to terms with how their lives and relationship had ended up.

It was easy to see why Hayden couldn't get over Alessandra. She is an amazing character, which is why it was great to see such wonderful relationships she developed with sideline characters as we know she never really had anybody when she was younger. At times we could see other characters trying to get through to Hayden as they could see clearly that he still loved Alessandra even if she didn't believe it and she needed those people to champion her.

There was another storyline running alongside the main story which ties in with earlier books in the series and I thought it was cleverly written and gave enough information to follow and understand without having read the earlier books in the series but having read this one I'm definitely going to give them a read and I look forward to Cameron's story too.

What's not to love when you receive a new book?
And what not to freaking love when it's a genre you adore?
Yeah, I was on cloud nine when I downloaded this book.
And to top it all it's a book from a fantastic author and a series that I can't get enough of.
Bianca Borell has this raw writing that will take you to places you won't imagine.
The darkness is there, as well as the desire... Boy, are these books spectacular!!!!
Sinner's Redemption is her latest release and the third book from the Syndicate of Sinners series.
And what a series...
This book explores the lives of Hayden and Alessandra.
These two fell in love when they were teens. Their love was so strong that they thought it would last forever until it didn't.
Fast forward 7 years, these two reencounter again, and let's just say that things weren't as they thought and that...
Jesus... What a rollercoaster this book was.
I'm still shaking and sad that it's over.
What gives me more peace of mind is that we will get another book from this series and hopefully a bit more about these two.
I'm amazed by all that happened.
Loved the chemistry they shared and was super hot and bothered with some scenes...Dayum, let's talk about hotness...
It was a race against time, lol, I didn't want to stop reading, and at the same time, didn't want this book to end...Let's talk about craziness...
Loved the darkness that surrounded this plot as well as the true love time couldn't erase.
Overall it was another amazing story that left me on edge waiting for the other shoe to drop...
Amazing book Bianca, and I can't wait for more...
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I am absolutely breathless after that.
Well Hello Bianca, I absolutely loved this book and what a great writer you are. This book literally took my whole being and wrung everything out of me and then slowly it revived me. What a roller coaster.
This was a dark romance and was worth the torture haha..
We first see two people young and how they fall in love. It was sweet and beautiful. Alessandro a Mafia princess and Hayden totally opposite from a poor family (🙊)
But they didn't let that be an issue, unfortunately her horrible father doesn't approve. A lot happens and you will need to read for more Info. After all that her father gives her a ultimatum and that shatters Hayden heart.
Then we get to 7 years later.
My heart hurt for them both but for Alessandra I felt extra empathy. She was just a living shell of who she used to be. But Hayden doesn't see that, he is still on a warpath to hurt her and make her pay for his pain.
He was so cruel and possessive at the same time. No matter how much he says he hates her, really it's just a mask over his love for her. You know what they say, 'Love Conquers all'.
Despite it all Hayden can't keep his hands off her. The sparks still fly like the fireworks when they are together.
Will this be the case for these two? Or will Alessandra be too broken to ever forgive and love again? Can Hayden look past his vengeance?
Book was traumatic, pain, intrigue, loss, lust, angst, love and so so Spicy.
I am a fan of Bianca now and will be reading the other too once I can free up time. Also look forward to book 4 in series.

We met Alessandra, a daughter to a cartel leader and an eighteen years old sweet girl who dreamed to be a doctor. She volunteer at a nursing home and one day she met Hayden, and they fall in love at first sight.

Usually I was skeptical with fast paced book but I just love how they knew instantly that they’re it for each other when they first met. It’s very sweet, sunshine and rainbow but I feel like we just get started so I’m anxious when I think about the possibility for the rest of the book. Especially when we meet things with Alessandra’s father and his plan. After the incident, Alessandra and Hayden meet again after seven years (yes you heard it, seven freaking years!) but things are not the same anymore. She still grieving and in love with him, but Hayden has other plan for her. It’s hard to write this review without spoiling it but please get ready for the rollercoaster read.

The part where they have to make choice between the past or the future breaks my heart. I know it’s not easy for both of them especially for Hayden. We also get to meet cameos from other books in this series and I really enjoyed the drama and the bond between Hayden, Cameron, Kieran and Cato.

This book was unputdownable and I managed to read it in one go. Really recommended!

This may be my first time reading and reviewing a book for Bianca and to say I am blown away is an understatement. This book is written with such realism, and the feels you get as you turn the pages goes straight to your heart.
It was love at first sight for Hayden when he meets Alessandra at his grandmothers nursing home.
Alessandra, the daughter of a cartel boss has led a very sheltered life and falls for Hayden instantly. She cannot believe her luck that someone would even look at her, let alone love her. Two halves making one! The passion between these two is off the charts hot!
The love they have to fight for is worth it, but a decision made in the heat of the moment destroys their love and lives as they know it!
Alessandra is led to believe through her decisions that she is a widow and had lost Hayden and his family forever, due to her Cartel boss father. 7 years later Hayden is back for revenge and to make Alessandra suffer due to the past decision she felt she had to make.
I just loved the layout of the story, the beginning being their meeting and falling in love, then the present....7 years later when Hayden reappears.
The angst and despair felt through the pages feels real and you just want to tear Hayden apart as he inflicts pain and torment on Alessandra.
Does love prevail? How can Alessandra bring back the boy she fell in love with from the edge when he has had 7 years to perfect his revenge?
A worthy 5 star must read.

Sinner’s Redemption is book 3 in the series and I loved it! It’s recounting two time lines the past when Hayden and Alessandra had an insta-love connection but fate wasn’t kind. This story is full of angst, longing, chemistry, and need. You desperately want and you are enthralled with the plot and story!! I loved the first two books but honestly you really could read this one with the others… but I highly recommend all the books as they give you layer upon layer to help build the world around you. But each of the stories give all the feels, the hunger, the want, the desperation of the characters as the navigate in the story. Their sad pasts are so emotional and beautiful you can clearly see what leads Hayden to be so protective of his younger sister. But this second chance romance will leave you not only breathless at times but the end oh all the warm fuzzy feels! But that’s all I’m going to say so I don’t spoil things!!! Go read this book! Cannot wait for the 4th book!!!

I completely forgot who Hayden was and then realised this was the third standalone book in the series! Then, I realised what was happening in the first half of the book was Hayden's past. And it was amazing! Every chapter, I would wonder when would things finally go wrong between Hayden and Alessandra, and when it did, I knew there was no turning back. I actually stopped at that part and had to take a few hours to calm down before continuing reading. This is because I knew if I started reading the present day chapters, I wouldn't be able to stop until I had finished the book. And I was right again; I finished the rest of the book in one more sitting.

I have no words for how wonderful this book - this WHOLE series - is. It's just brilliant book after brilliant book, and every single one has amazing grovelling, emotional, angsty, and sensual scenes. The 2 main things I loved about this book were:
1. the heartwrenching scene just before the Present Day chapters (not going to spoil it)
2. the scene where Alessandra kneels before Hayden while he's tied to the cross and then proceeds to do what she did. God, my heart hurt so much for them both. I couldn't stop rereading that part. It has got to be the most emotional, most heartbreaking scene I've ever read. I loved it so much!

I cannot wait to see what Cameron's book will be about.

Thanks to Booksprout for a copy.

Sinner's Redemption in the Syndicate of Sinners series is an emotionally charged rollercoaster ride that seamlessly combines elements of mafia romance, a captor/kidnapping situation, and a revenge plot. This book takes you on a journey through love, loss, and redemption, making it a captivating addition to the series.

From the very first book Sinner's Obsession when we were introduced to Hayden and Alessandra I was intrigued and wanted more, and this book did not disappoint. Let me set the stage for you. Hayden crosses paths with Alessandra, the only daughter of a powerful mafia crime lord when she's volunteering at his grandmother's facility. They have an instant connection and fall in love. However, tragedy strikes altering the course of futures.

Fast forward seven years, and Hayden is out for revenge and Alessandra is deeply affected by their past.

The chemistry between Hayden and Alessandra is electric, and their connection is undeniable, even as they navigate the complexities of their changed lives. Alessandra's determination to find the boy she loves and Hayden's struggle to reconcile his feelings with his quest for revenge add depth to these characters. The intimate scenes are passionate and steamy, with hints of Dom/sub dynamics that add an extra layer of intrigue.

While this book can be read as a standalone, it leaves readers intrigued about the previous books in the series. This is a must-read for fans of second-chance romance, mafia romance, and stories that tug at the heartstrings.

OMG! Initially i thought “SINNERS PERDITION” would be my favorite but then this one …this one got me good. Its never an easy task to read a Trilogy and be hooked to every book more than the last.

The minute i finished “Sinners Perdition” i knew i was inlove cauz the storyline was soo good and so captivating. But then we met more of Hayden and Alessandra and I was dying to know their history/ more about their love that almost didn’t seem like love. It felt like there was so much more to the story and now i know why!

“LOVE TURNED HATE”
Or so i should say which is waaay better than enemies to lovers. Like you still love them but its no longer the sweet shinny kind of love; its a stronger more dangerous kind of love….half way in the book takes a turn that will leave you mouth open.

The way @bianca.borell intetwined all the three books letting you join the dots on all the missing pieces in the first two is still beyond me. I LOVE LOVE THIS BOOKS!

I just finished this and i think y’all should definitely give this three a try and thank me later😉

OMG! Wow, I was absolutely astounded reading this book it was awesome, the story was exhilarating and the characters were so captivating. This story was about Hayden and Alessandra, Hayden fell in love with a girl he met he knew they were meant to be forever, he was being watched he just didn't know who it was. Alessandra is the daughter of a mob boss, her father told his men to shoot him. These two they lived and breathed each other, he bought a place for the two of them and they never got to live together. She became broken her husband was shot dead, she left her father's place to never see him again. She was living in the house her husband bought for them while she was working at the hospital, she was dead on the inside she could never date again. This book was so emotional I cried so much while reading this book, I thoroughly enjoyed.

My absolute favorite of the Syndicate of Sinner’s series so far! It’s teen angst, first love passion, horrific tragedy, and a second chance all rolled up into one stunner of a book.
Hayden and Alessandra fell in love young but after a ruthless and unnecessary play of power they’re ripped apart by family and the choices that they have both made. Seven years later Hayden, now a brutally ruthless and powerful man of his own, has come to Alessandra for his revenge. She is given the opportunity to make a choice and she stays with Hayden until the choice is made. But neither of them has ever moved on, the love is still there in its own warped form, and circumstances change faster than either of them planned.
So, so good. Their history is totally heartbreaking and it’s so frustrating and sad to see them trying to figure out how to move past anger, hurt, betrayal, and grief. Well worth all the hard stuff for the ending and it is pretty great to see Hayden and Alessandra just totally accepted into the Syndicate family.

Wow!! I knew this story would be intense but my goodness!! The heart break, the love, the pain, blood and sweat; so many things happened during this book!! This author knows how to write a suspenseful dark romance!!

I knew the story of Alessandra would be a bit epic but my goodness I didn’t realize the intensity would be through the roof! I was so excited but also scared because I knew what was coming but I couldn’t help to wish for different! I really really became to love her.

Now, I already loved Hayden but my goodness did that love become so much more and then shatter a little with Alessandra and get become overwhelming. Hayden has been to hell and back and my goodness I don’t understand how he kept going but wow. Wow, is the only word I can use to describe it because I’m obsessed with these two.

I loved this book so much and each chapter I couldn’t read fast enough but also wanting to prolong everything. I knew what was coming and I gasped in shock because I never saw that coming. The ending is everything and I couldn’t help but cry!! I’m so ready for the next one!!

Sinners Redemption is the third book in the Syndicate of Sinners series. This one was so good! I could not put it down! Sinners Redemption is probably my favorite in the series! I absolutely loved the main characters, Alessandra and Hayden, and their story! Their love story is one of my absolute favorites that I have ever read. It had everything insta love, heartache, second chance, and a whole lot of spice.

When Alessandra and Hayden first meet each they fall fast and they fall hard. Then Alessandra’s father gets in way and makes her make an impossible decision that tears them apart. 7 years later it all comes to a head and Hayden has to decide if their love is stronger than his revenge.

This is a super spicy dark mafia and second chance romance. If you haven’t read the first two books in series I highly recommend them they are all good and are interconnected.
This one did not disappoint! I can’t wait for the fourth book!!

This is book 3 of the Syndicate of Sinners series, but can be read as a standalone..

I enjoyed this book, the beginning starts off with both characters as teenagers & falling into love with each other. (it was so cute) ♡ The way Alessandra and Hayden met was absolutely everything... This is more of an insta-love which normally I do not enjoy, but their love was beautiful.

7 years later, Hayden is back for revenge after what happened between Hayden and Alessandra due to her fathers B*llshit decisions.... I was SO mad.... I was angry at Hayden, for taking out his anger at Alessandra and blaming her, it was understandable. (kinda.. I felt for him) ♡

Their comeback was beautiful, I couldn't wait for them to be together again. ( their chemistry was ❤️‍🔥)

I don't want to spoil it, but this book was good.. ♡ It had it all. (The writing style threw me off a bit, but nonetheless it was a good book.. I'll continue reading more from this author. ♡

What to expect:
❤️‍🩹Second Chance
❤️‍🩹Dark Mafia
❤️‍🩹Insta-Love
❤️‍🩹Revenge
❤️‍🩹Forbidden Romance
❤️‍🩹Dual POV
