Sinner's Salvation is the 4th and final book in the Syndicate of Sinners series. This is an arranged marriage for Cameron, the mayor of Boston, and a member of the Syndicate. He needs to get married for his political ambitions and to form a political alliance since he wants to become a senator. He does not want to get married and is used to his structured and controlled life. He is even more reluctant when he realizes his new wife has a lot of issues. Violet suffers from germaphobia and has locked herself in her room. She is a successful gamer, and she also develops her own video games. Her parents are fed up that she is not living her life, and her father is adamant that she marries Cameron.
They have a lot of chemistry and a push and pull romance. Cameron is very intrigued by Violet the more he gets to know her. Violet has a lot to overcome with her phobias and Cameron as a lot of guilt from his past. I felt their connection, and the sex scenes were definitely spicy.
My main issue was the severe lack of communication between the characters. They got in the same arguments, and it felt kind of repetitive. They would have an argument, she would take things personally, and then she would run off to lock herself in her gaming room. Violet had a lot of insecurities, and I didn't think she needed to be so sensitive. She is jealous of someone from his past that she didn't really need to be so over the top about.
I also felt like she was able to overcome her phobias super fast once she was with Cameron. It felt unbelievable since she had suffered with them for years, and therapy wasn't able to help, but Cameron was able to push her to overcome them. She wouldn't touch people or leave her room, yet now she was kissing, having sex, and giving oral...
All that said, I really enjoyed this conclusion to the series. I love the found family and the bond between the men. The women really accept Violet and try to make her feel comfortable and at home. I think this had a satisfying HEA, and I really felt like these two characters complimented each other well.

I am well aware that this book is advertised as a dark romance with an arranged marriage and a MMC who didn’t want marriage at all, but I think Cameron was the BEST husband material all along.
”I’m not above begging. That’s how much I fucking crave you. Only you, only for you…”
Cameron was SUCH a swoon and immediately became enamored with his wife. Violet can’t be touched without having some adverse allergic reaction but what’s even cuter is that Cameron found a way for her to come past that allowing her the freedom to finally go out and be around those she loved.
A professional gamer, Violet did not disappoint and stood her ground (as she should). I do believe she did what she could with that cards she was handed and I really liked how supportive her family was plus the bonus family she received.
There was slight OTTP/J scenes which had me giggling and kicking my feet. Overall, a good quick read but I was really hoping a more fulfilling ending. Based on the small hints from the other couples, I really want to dive into the others’ books 😮💨.

ok so I have been a fan of this series, from the very beginning. Each Man might have a rough interior but they are a softie from their core for their women. Cameron is no different. Forcefully hitched to a woman who is not only younger but is also a mystery for sake of support in his political career might not be in his bingo cards but he did his best to help her in her phobias and fears. he pushed her in the best way and I enjoyed the found family aspect as well.
I wanted more and more from Cameron and Violet.
I hope we get the second generation stories as well.

I’m giving it four stars but not sure is it should be three or not. I struggled understanding a few things. I thought Cameron definitely needed a stronger woman than Violet. I know the heart wants what the heart wants but with her having so many issues, they didn’t really seem to fit. For me, it threw the story off. Other than that, the book was great.

And I'm late to another series yet again. However, this one can be read as a standalone.
Cameron McNamara, the current Mayor of Boston, is a man of power and influence. He is a member of the Syndicate and the political game is his forte. However, to gain more political power, he agrees to an arranged marriage with Violet Campbell, a woman he has never met before. Cameron doesn't want a wife, but he knows that this marriage will help him achieve his political goals.
Violet Campbell is a gamer and a woman who has lived in seclusion for years due to her numerous phobias. Her father, however, disrupts her peace and insists that she marry the Boston mayor for his own gain. When Violet meets Cameron, she is taken aback by his arrogance, his coldness, and his lack of personal space.
Cameron and Violet are both complex characters, with their own fears, hopes, and dreams. Cameron pushes all of Violet's buttons for her to finally live and Violet surprises Cameron with her direct and difficult questions getting him to open up about his tragic past. Violet's character is portrayed so realistically that it breaks my heart several times throughout the book. However, it was also inspiring to see how she transforms into a strong and independent woman, thanks to Cameron and his family. Cameron's sad background taught him that love comes at a price and Violet chooses to love him without asking for anything in return. It's a battle of wills with passionate deals ending in a HEA.
The author does an excellent job of portraying the protagonists' struggles and their growth throughout the story. The reader can't help but root for them as they face their challenges and overcome their obstacles.
The supporting characters from the previous books are essential to this story as they support Cameron and Violet and are wonderful role models for true love and strong marriages.
If you are looking for a well-written, engaging story that will keep you on the edge of your seat, Sinner's Salvation, is a good choice. I cannot wait to read more of this series.
Thank you to Ms. Borell for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.

Part of the Syndicate of Sinners series each can be read as a standalone with an overprotective sexy and the one who captures his undivided attention so make sure to 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 along the way. Cameron sexy as all get out public face of the Syndicate with the clean record on the outside the mayor of Boston headed straight for the senate seat but winning the senate seat might be an issue since the public seem to require their senates to be married, family men so he is pressured into a marriage he never wanted but knows he must despite dealing with his own demons from his past and so Violet is chosen to be his wife in name, face in public only. Violet is sweet misunderstood often due to a childhood illness leaving with phobias that forced her to hide herself away from the world when she did go out she hid behind different wigs, clothes, becoming one of the top gamers in the country but when she is married off to a political figure her entire world is turned upside down she is forced out of her comfort zoned and now has to face each and every one of her fears rather she wants to or not her new husband isn’t going to allow it any other way. The magnetic pull was there despite neither of them wanting the marriage yet they pushed each other to face their fears together making it bearable all while falling for each other as well as dealing with an attack on the Syndicate one they can’t see, don’t see coming but they (the syndicate) must stand together, stand strong, but is it enough for these two to see what right in front of them, will they realize sometimes the one standing next to you is the one that helps you heal, that helps you fight all your past demons, and can they find happiness somewhere along the way of all the shenanigans?

Violet Campbell profoundly affected by severe phobias. Her life, constrained to the confines of her computer screen, is a vivid portrayal of someone grappling with extreme social anxiety and averse to even the slightest physical contact, including from her own family. It's a challenging scenario, especially considering her father's high-profile political position and his growing frustration with her condition.
On the other side, we have Cameron McNamara, a dynamic character who serves as the mayor of Boston and a successful businessman. Cameron's world is one of ambition and detachment, particularly from romantic entanglements. His reluctance to enter into an arranged marriage with Violet, purely for political leverage, is palpable and sets the stage for a complex relationship dynamic.
Initially, Cameron's character was difficult to empathize with. His lack of understanding and patience for Violet's struggles was off-putting. However, as the story unfolds, there's a remarkable transformation in his character. The interactions between Cameron and Violet, initially strained, gradually evolve into a deeper, more genuine connection, which becomes one of the book's most compelling aspects.
Violet's character arc is particularly noteworthy. Witnessing her discover and embrace her inner strength, overcoming obstacles she never thought possible, is inspiring. Cameron, initially dismissive, plays a key role in this transformation, challenging and supporting her in equal measure.
Overall, this novel excels in its character development. Both Violet and Cameron undergo significant growth, making their journey not just a romantic one, but also a journey of self-discovery and mutual understanding. The narrative is well-paced, and the emotional depth adds to the compelling nature of their story. This book is a commendable read for those who appreciate character-driven narratives with a blend of romance and personal growth.

I was supposed to have read this book for a few weeks now but life got in the way and I had to leave it behind.
I hated it but it was necessary since I wasn't able to function.
But once I got my hands on this pretty, all bets were off. lol
Bianca Borell has a way with words that will capture your soul hostage and won't release it for a second.
I love her books and I'm always eager for more.
Have you read any of her books? I advise you to go for it.
Sinner's Salvation is her latest release and it's the fourth book from the Syndicate of Sinners series.
Have you read the first three books? Just go do it now and only then read this book.
Trust me, you won't regret it.
This book explores the lives of Cameron and Violet.
Cameron needs to get married to upload his career. He doesn't want love or a relationship but a wife on paper only.
In comes Violet. The perfect wife to upload his career and that's it. No need to include feelings or emotions but it's easier said than done.
What's not to love in a dark book, full of drama, secrets and so much more??'
Nothing. Nothing at all.
This book was perfect in every imperfect way.
Loved the push-and-pull game. The hate and not hate scenes... And the hot stuff... Jesus, I'm still blushing.
But of course not everything was perfect, because we had some serious issues portrayed in this book.
How can you overcome all your problems, and phobias in order to be yourself?
How can you be free from the shackles that bind you if you can't deal with what's inside your mind???
It's not an easy task but with the right people in your corner, everything can happen.
This book was the perfect addition to a series that's becoming my favorite and I need more... so much more.
Amazing book Bianca. You are on fire hun.

Cameron McNamara is a member of the Syndicate and the current Mayor of Boston and although he doesn't want a wife, he agrees to an arranged marriage to gain political influence and power. When he meets her she is nothing like he imagined and they agree to be married on paper only and she will support him with his goal of becoming a Senator. Violet Campbell has many phobias and has lived in seclusion for years until her father disrupts her peace to insist she has to marry the Boston mayor for his own gain. She can't stand Cameron as he is too arrogant, cold and has no concept of personal space. But at least, they agreed on one thing: No touches. No kisses. No intimacy.
Behind closed doors, there’s no need to pretend their marriage is real. But every day, his wife surprises him. Cameron yearns to uncover the woman she hides behind the mask. Every night, her husband unravels her and Violet begins to crave more of her husband. What started as an agreement, is turning into something none of them saw coming.
I loved this story with the struggle for Violet to fight past her phobias, the way that Cameron tried in his way to help her, and the way over time their relationship was becoming less distant and more friendly (even if there was also an undercurrent of hate in there). Their passion was electric and all-consuming and I'm sure could have been seen from space. They did seem to have a communication problem when it came to feelings but I think that barrier was removed after a dramatic event. This was easy to read and the feelings (although not always comfortable) were easy to feel and understand. There is plenty of mature content in this story with some BDSM-like behaviours.
I received an ARC of this book in return for an honest review.

Violet struggles with germophobia and often locks herself in her room, building a career as a pro-gamer. She be ridden with fear, panic and social anxiety at times but underneath it all is a sassy and fierce woman.
Cameron Carrie’s ghosts with him and can be impulsive. He believes he is callous but might actually be the one who feels deepest. He likes control, is quite calculating as he helped maneuver the previous couples, and can be ruthless.
Violet and Cameron definitely have a tough road ahead of them, neither wanting to be in the arranged marriage but also contending with their thoughts and feelings toward the other. Violet has a lot of insecurities but she also will push Cameron’s buttons. Cameron in turn has a need to protect Violet, keeping her locked away, but also wants to push her boundaries and help her overcome her phobia. There are times when they both are at an impasse with the lack of communication or unwillingness to shed all their layers for each other and constantly making tit for tat deals, but we see they both have a lot of room to grow with, for, and beside each other as we observe their feelings deepening. Their push and pull romance is a journey that concludes with a satisfactory HEA.
Moreover, we continue to see the bonds between guys, between the women, and between the pairings. You can really send they are a tight knit group, a found family, and will so anything for each other. We also have some threats to the Syndicate and while I would have liked a bit more detail in the narrative for this, the suspense kept me interested enough to want to see what happens.
Overall, this was an interesting read!

First thing to say, no, I don't want this to be the end and say goodbye to these characters!
Second thing, it's about time Cameron got his own book.
Quite simply, because Cam has been my favorite character since volume 1.
Bianca Borell, you must be fed up with me, for all the messages I send you. But I want to thank you for answering me every time.
This final volume does Cameron complete justice. It's just perfect and it's better than I expected.
The demons that haunt Cameron are numerous, but little by little, he manages to free himself from them, but not alone.
Thanks to his best friend, Kieran, but also thanks to Alessandra who is always there, when he needs an attentive ear. If she no longer likes surgery, Alessandra can always become Cam's regular psychologist. And I'm sure she would be well paid ;-).
But above all, the person who manages to move Cameron forward and towards a better future is Violet.
And Violet is his wife who has a lot of demons herself, but who manages to beat them thanks to Cam and his family.
Violet was a very interesting character who broke my heart on several occasions. But I loved seeing her become a strong and independent woman little by little.
Bianca Borell, you have a talent for writing your characters so that they are real and endearing. In a few words, a few pages, you can make me feel tons of emotions.
This book is simply perfect and I'm really going to miss these characters.

And who is attacking the syndicate and their leaders??? You will need to read this steamy saga to see what happens...I voluntarily read this book through an Advanced Reader Copy.

Wow, this book places you in it's grip from the first page. Violet, a phobic recluse has secrets that she keeps to herself. She doesn't like interaction and definitely has a "do not touch me" policy. She has remained within her families home for 6 years and she has a life within the 4 walls of her own room, never having to leave.

4.5/5 ⭐️
“In my universe, there’s only one star, you. I live for you. Everything I am is yours.”
This book is a heartbreaker that puts you back together by the end. I always swoon for the male main character, but this time it's all about our fearless Violet 💜. Cameron McNamara is a powerhouse aiming for more, and the only way to get it is by having his wife by his side as he sets his sights on becoming a Senator. On the flip side, Violet's got her own fears – touch, the outside world – and she's been living in her gamer haven. But everything changes when she steps out of her comfort zone and ties the knot with Cameron, even if it's just on paper.
Cameron and Violet face challenges at every turn. Right from the start, Cameron's protective nature helps Violet break out of her shell, but little did he know that she would also heal him from the guilt he carries everywhere.
Bianca nails writing about broken heroines and delves into the daily struggles they face with their mental health. What hooked me the most is the found family Violet has and their unwavering support through it all.
For me, this book was absolute perfection. It beautifully illustrates how love has the power to heal even the most broken souls.

Phobia is no joke and in this book when the female main lead suffers from Germaphobe, the author didn't rush fast telling out of blew when she meets the Male main lead all that disappears. I like how she took the story and way it bloomed better in my heart as a reader.
The book can surely be read in one sitting but then I wanted to devoured it really slow, couldn't afford to miss VIO and CAM really soon.
Definitely a treat for all the Mafia Romance lovers who adore the Arranged Marriage trope as well. Till the last page of the book you can look and adore the twist and turns as how the suspense travels is really enjoyable.
Cam - The man who didn't have any interest to marry can't stop himself from admiring her. Suddenly she's all she wants and the way he speaks to her made me stunned with lots of awe-ness.
Vio - She's superb adorable. The woman never fails to surprise anyone as like how the little children in the book calls, 'Hero' she is indeed that with a smart brain which she used to draft strategy as a Gamer as well.
Overall, the book was so soothing for me and comforting as well.

I was so anticipating Cameron’s book from the beginning and Bianca did not disappoint. Although this book has a different vibe than the rest, it was perfect. Violet lives in fear and hasn’t left her home in 6 years. She’s a professional gamer and also develops these games herself. She doesn’t let anyone touch her and dresses up in wigs, gloves and black clothing only. Cameron is the mayor and hope to be Senator and eventually President. The two enter in an arranged marriage/marriage in convenience in hopes of helping Cameron get to his goal in life, as Violet is the Governor’s daughter. We all know Cameron is the most volatile, the leader of the pack and has a lot of demons stemming from childhood. He is also part of the Syndicate, with his 3 best friends, and they rule the underground world. Together the two help each other break down walls, fears and discover an unbeatable bond.
This book was so emotional, endearing, frustrating and I couldn’t put it down. This was a great end to the series and I enjoyed them all.

I devoured this book in a day. I am sad that this is goodbye to these characters. I have enjoyed the series.
Violet has a phobia that has kept her inside of her home for 6 years and a life inside the 4 walls of her room that she hardly has to leave. Those 4 walls are her safe space. Cameron is running for senator and eventually President and agrees to marry Violet for convenience only.
I felt bad for Violet because her life was getting turned upside down. Forced to marry, talk with others, be near others and eventually we find out why she had a phobia. Violet and Cameron getting married was a way for them both to heal. They both have broken souls and they helped each other repair the damage of the past. Cameron was thoughtful but pushy at the same time with getting Violet out of her comfort and being able to be touched.
They both hate and love each other so much and equally. In the end they both grew so much as an individual and as a couple. Violet and Cameron knew what the other one needed and knew what to do to break those walls down.

Let's get into the final book of the Syndicate of Sinners series. This is a thrilling ride! 😁 My anticipation for this book was off the charts because I needed to know whom the infamous mayor would be matched with. Cameron and Violet pairing was unexpected. She wasn't the partner I foresaw for him, but she proved to be precisely what he needed—a refreshing contrast to his world. The slow burn between them is electric, marked by palpable chemistry.
Cameron, the public face of the Syndicate, finds himself pressured into a marriage of convenience with Violet, who battles severe phobias. Both characters are complex with their own struggles.
Watching Cameron and Violet confront their fears and open up to each other is emotionally moving. When Cameron's structured life clashes with Violet's confined world, we got a beautiful push and pull situation that created tension between them. This added to the overall enjoyment of the book.
This is a fantastic conclusion to a series filled with suspense, romance, and characters that stay with you.

Violet doesn’t leave the house, although she is a successful gamer and creates apps. She panics when she tries to leave due to germs, so she’s given up.
Cameron can’t believe that he’s being forced into a marriage, particularly with someone with issues that he’s been told Violet has, he will make sure that changes.
Both Violet and Cameron have issues, Cameron wants to fix hers and know why they are there in the first place, but Violet doesn’t want to let Cameron know and wants him to open up as well. One thing Violet learns quickly is that she’s not bothered by Cameron’s touch, and he makes her feel safe.
One thing Cameron isn’t good at is communicating his feelings, believing he can’t be loved. While he knows he can’t live without Violet, he doesn’t let her know clearly thinking he’s actions say enough. All Violet wants is to hear those three words to know that what she’s feeling she isn’t alone in but Cameron can’t seem to say them, leaving her wondering if she’s good enough, so she decides to take matters into her own hands.

Arranged marriage between a powerful man and a no-less powerful woman with her own unique set of struggles. Definitely not a story I've seen before.
Cameron is powerful, successful, and capable of getting anything he wants. Violet is brilliant, strong-willed, and suffers from a few conditions, including agoraphobia and germophobia. When the two are set-up in an arranged marriage, neither was happy.
The thing about Cameron that made him so appealing was not only his status as a powerful and dangerous man but also his curiosity. He doesn't like Violet. He doesn't want Violet. Yet, he's curious and fiercely protective.
Violet is so stubborn and, to a degree, self-centered, that it's off-putting at times. Her character growth takes 2 steps forward, and 4 steps back, over and over.
The story itself was great. The sub-plots added a lot, and I wish we could have seen more detail into them, but that would have made a long book even longer.
I definitely recommend.

This was a good mafia read, especially if you're a fan of arranged marriage tropes. These two characters were absolutely opposites of each other, and I just couldn't see how they would end up fitting with the other. But Bianca made it happen. My only complaint is the lack of communication between the MCs. She complains constantly because he won't open up, which is absolutely true, but then when he does try to talk to her, it usually ends up with her storming away and locking herself up in her gaming room. He refuses to talk about himself, unless she's giving him something in return, and he absolutely abhors feelings and emotions. They're relationship is definitely more on the volatile side, but eventually they both start to understand the other a bit better. Compromise is a beautiful thing when it's put to work. Overall, this was a good mafia read with lots of spice, lots of action and lots of morally grey male characters.

Have you ever been so afraid of germs and the outside world that you never leave your room, let alone your own house? If so, then you can relate to Violet. Something happened in her childhood that made her terrified to be a functioning adult. With the occurrences of Violet's past came lots of guilt. Her parents were desperate to help her, which is how Cameron came into her life. Violet's father arranged for Cameron and Violet to be married, not only to help Violet conquer her fears but also to help Cameron climb the proverbial political ladder.
Both Cameron and Violet were against the arranged marriage as any normal person would be in today's day-in-age. However, Cameron knew he needed the backing of Violet's father, who was also in politics, to make it to the Senate. He vowed to protect her at all costs and promised he would never touch her, physically or intimately.
However, like any good romance, circumstances changed, and they both were in for the surprise of their lives.

Sinner’s Salvation is the fourth and final book in the Syndicate of Sinner’s series and by far my favorite of the whole series!!!
Cameron is the current mayor of Boston. He finds himself in an arranged marriage he can’t say no to…one that offers him more power. While his soon to be wife comes with many struggles…:one he wants to break her from all awhile dealing with his own demons.
Cameron and Violet is hands down my favorite couple in this series. Cameron just reeks power while Violet is so much more in the inside than what she gives out on the outside.
Bianca Borell definitely gave us her best! She had me turning page after page wanting to know what happens next. This is a series that I’m sad to see end but honestly loved every book. Even though this is apart of a series it can be read as a standalone….however, I suggest you read every book. Each couple brings a whole new story to this series!

I’ve been obsessed with these friends and I fell in love with their women so when it came to the final guy I knew it would be special! What an amazing read that had me from the beginning!!
I couldn’t put this book down and it had everything to do with Violet! She was something else and had so much mystery!! I loved that she was such an intense gamer!! She was everything in a character I could want… except during some parts where she was blind!
Cameron was someone I couldn’t wait to see who crawled under his skin. He was intense, unhappy and more of a mystery than the others. I wasn’t sure what all he went though but now I love how things unfolded.
This book has so many parts where I couldn’t really understand Violets issues but once her mystery was revealed it all fell into place. I had so many moments where I cheered for her because of her accomplishments!! What a story for everyone to read!!

Bianca doesn't disappoint with Cameron and Violet's story. She hooks you in from the beginning, turning the pages until the end. Violet is a gamer and game designer and keeps herself isolated in her room and from meeting people, being a germophobe from trauma in her childhood. Violet's father coerced Cameron into marrying her to further their political careers. Cameron is not happy he has been betrothed to a woman with issues. Cameron is part of a syndicate with his three friends and keeps that separate from his political aspirations. Even though Violet has a range of fears and issues, Cameron is determined to get her to break through them and rejoin life. However, he has issues and fears Violet can see through them and keeps pushing him.
I received an arc from Booksprout for my voluntary honest review for NNBB. You will enjoy this book if you love a mafia romance with lots of angst and action.

Cam and Violet are polar opposites, and bring the very best out of each other in this book. The sass and confidence amongst the trauma and phobias she’s allowed to fester only made me love her more.
This story did come off a little more realistic in terms of the arranged marriages, where both sides were literally marrying/marrying off in order to achieve something. In Cameron’s case, his motives were all political, not caring about impressing poor Violet in the beginning.
There were so many memorable scenes, and many that had me rolling on the floor. The chemistry, and the character development was great and this will be up there in terms of favorite reads of 2024.
Borell wrote a wonderful story that delivers in terms of the story with just enough spice to give you the perfect payoff once sparks fly. The characters have depth that allows you to differentiate between them, and understand the stark differences and why.

Cameron & Violet.
A arranged marriage for Violet is the most difficult thing to do as she doesn’t like being touched. Cameron isn’t considerate about that as he feels she should face her fears. The two share a fun banter but also battle their inner demons.
Cameron & Violet both have had difficulty childhoods. I’d say Cameron’s is traumatising. Both really do fight for their relationship.
Aurora, Alexandra, Chiara become good friends to Violet and it’s always welcoming to get updates on previous characters.
I got annoyed at Violet’s parents their wanted her to marry to get out the four walls of her room and live her life and when Violet’s life finally takes a turn for the best they want her back home!!!!!
This book is no matter what one has been through they can overcome it with the right person in their life, with some TLC, lots of love from people who want the best for you and ones who love you.

I am so excited to share my thoughts on Sinner's Salvation by Bianca Borell. This book is the fourth and final installment in the Syndicate of Sinners series, and it did not disappoint. The story follows Cameron McNamara, a man who doesn't want a wife but is forced into an arranged marriage. The plot is full of suspense and romance, and the characters are well-developed and engaging. I found myself rooting for Cameron and Violet as they faced their challenges and grew together. The author's writing style is immersive, and I couldn't put the book down. However, I did feel that the pacing could have been improved in some sections. Overall, I highly recommend Sinner's Salvation to anyone who enjoys a well-written and captivating story.

This is Cameron and Violet's story. It is book 4 in the Syndicate of Sinner's series. It was a great ending to the series. Cameron has been the one pushing everyone else together with their true loves but doesn't believe in love himself due to his father. When he goes through with the arranged marriage with Violet for his political career he doesn't think it will go anywhere. It does and they both are scared. As you read you'll love the book so much you can't put it down. You should read the other three books in the series first so you understand what's going on and who the characters in the book are. There are a lot of triggers so please only read if you are ok with triggers. The author doesn't need any negative reviews due to your not understanding or dealing with triggers.- Kristina
