Revere

Sigma Sin #4

by Eva Simmons

I didn’t know Jacob Gray was my professor when I fell into his lap on the plane. All it took was a devastatingly gorgeous man twice my age to break all my rules. To teach me how to let go.

How to surrender.
How to submit.

But then I learn Jacob isn’t who I think he is. And it turns out us meeting wasn’t an accident.

The sweeter the forbidden fruit, the more venomous the snake.

Jacob wants revenge, and he’s going to use me to get it.

I devoured this series. was it good? no. was it fun? absolutely.

[Medollga · Rating 2 out of 5]

there was no groveling whatsoever, plus the heroine had really shitty friends ☠️

also, he's 37, she's 20 and still in college, and he TOLD HER to stop taking birth control after a month and a week of them being together? 🤡

5++ stars!

O the webs we weave in our quest to power, prestige and getting what we want. The ice princess herself goes to LA for an internship and to try and cut ties with her past and the House that ruins and devours everything it touches. But you can’t escape Sigma Sin and Patience is beginning to truly realize that.

Falling, literally, into Jacob’s lap changes nothing but also EVERYTHING. Jacob has a plan and a past but his mission changes when he gets his hands on Patience and he will do everything in his power to not only make her his but break those almost impenetrable walls she’s built around her heart.

“You’ve been trained to think that’s a bad thing, but it’s not. Your standards are exactly where they should be, Patience. Never lower them because the right person will meet you there. And when they do, you’ll trust them enough not to be a challenge at all.”

Patience was such a fantastic heroine. She was a survivor with a backbone of steel but I absolutely loved the way she melted for Jacob and let her defenses down with him. The blossoming of her femininity and vulnerability when she was with Jacob was so beautiful. I loved that she was fierce and strong in public and ooey gooey behind closed doors with him.

Jacob, Professor, holy cow. This man had me all kinds of twisted up. The way he obsessed, observed, protected, and dug himself into Patience was exquisite. This man dominated his girl and wanted to own her body and soul in the best ways. He wanted a queen by his side and he built her up at every turn.

Their chemistry? Off the charts hot. HOT! The dynamic was tension filled at first and then exploded into the most passionate and all consuming intimacy. I swear their souls touched.

“Just thinking about you makes me want to cram my cock down this beautiful throat. And when your eyes are on me”—he leans in, breathing in the side of my neck as the toy starts to hum again—“you own my body when you look at me, Patience. You own my fucking soul.”

Trust was such a huge part of this story and I think Eva did a fantastic job at developing their relationship, adding turmoil, then putting them back together despite their flaws and mistakes. I loved the plot and all the twists and turns. But Patience and Jacob’s love story stood out in phenomenal ways that I’ll be thinking about for awhile.

“You are the heart of a star, and I’m the darkness you call home. There is no denying this, Patience. You can resist it, and you can fight me, but you know I’m where you belong.”

I’ve loved this series and I’m honestly sad to see it end. I would have read five more books in this series if Eva kept writing them. If you like dark romance with OTT alpha males and heroines that hold their own this series is definitely for you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

(Contains the following: Professor x Student, Age Gap, Extremely Dark Revenge Romance, Adoration to Hate to Love, She’ll Never Escape Him, OTT Obsession, Overcoming Trauma, Somnophilia & Domination and Submission) 🖤🖤

Thank you for the opportunity to read this early. I have been waiting awhile for this and it was worth the wait.

Patience and Jacob have my heart and are now one of my favorite couples out there. Patience has her ice queen personality thawed out by Professor Gray which just had me kicking my feet the entire time. Their relationship was 🔥 but there was a perfect balance between the plot and spice. It didn’t feel like there was an overwhelming amount of spice which was appreciated.

Jacob is everything and is proof of why older men are superior, it was interesting to learn more about his back story as the book progressed. Thank god he had no plans of letting Patience go 🤞🏽

Patience … now if I’m being completely honest she was 100% bothering me at the end. I just wanted her to listen for ten seconds which took entirely too long to happen. It wasn’t exactly the miscommunication troupe just Patience being stubborn troupe. On brand for her though, still love her.

While I did enjoy seeing the side characters, majority of them were irritating me. I just feel like they could’ve been a better friend to Patience, but that’s just me. Although, I did not read the other three first, so I will be going back and doing that. It may change my mind on my previous statement about the other characters.

That aside, I really enjoyed this and it was 4.5 read. The only thing was the ending kind of felt a little rushed, but other than that absolutely loved everything about this. Eva Simmons doesn’t disappoint.

[Angelina · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was an intense, emotionally heavy read that pulled me in more than I expected. The professor/student dynamic between Patience and Jacob immediately sets a dark, forbidden tone, and the story doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable themes.
The relationship is built around dark secrets, pain, and both emotional and physical abuse, with Patience and Jacob carrying deep scars — not just emotional ones. Their connection is messy, unhealthy, and raw, shaped by trauma in ways that are often difficult to read but feel honest within the story.

[princess ౨ৎ · Rating 3 out of 5]

firstly thank you for allowing me to arc read, i am always so honoured to read for eva simmons, and this series is very very special to me.

the first two books are two of my holy grails, they are everything to me, EVERYTHING!!!! and alex and mila are my family too, i feel so honoured to have been able to arc read most of this series. i knew from the jump though that this book might not be for me, because my dislike of patience was a consistent theme in all the books, but i needed to see the story follow through and just hoped and prayed she had growth.

sadly, i continued to dislike her despite learning her story, i feel like it made me dislike her even more, the kind of person she is, miserable, emotionally abusive to friends and family, selfish, uncaring of others feelings, is a very triggering kind of person for me and i found it extremely hard to look past those characteristics despite knowing they stem from extreme trauma. i just felt like she was so horrible and miserable to everyone around her and used her trauma as a justification to herself for how she acted and it just sickened me honestly. her behaviour is too similar to abuse ive faced and i think thats why i just couldn't move past it.

i enjoyed seeing the story progress on and i think it was so heartwarming to see she does have growth but the damage has been done for me. i know this WILL be someone's cup of tea, i know there are people who can critically read something and keep their bias out of it, but patience is my enemy 😔😔😔

3/5 because the story was interesting and engaging when i was able to push my dislike for patience out of my mind, and i loved learning about jacob and seeing gideon and their weirdo mom get what they deserve.

i still love and respect eva sm and i WILL be reading more of her books

5 ⭐️/2.5 🌶️

This was hands down the best book in the entire series! I freaking loved every second of it. Jacob and Patience have officially stolen my heart, they’re easily my favorite characters from the series now.💕 What a perfect way to wrap things up!

I’m honestly a little sad it’s over because this world and these characters have meant so much, but wow, what an ending. From the earlier books, I knew Patience’s story would be hard to get through, and it absolutely was. That girl has been through so much, yet she remains strong while still allowing herself to be vulnerable when needed, such a beautifully written balance 🙌🏼

And Professor Gray… phew! 🥵 That man is everything. The chemistry between him and Patience was intense, emotional, and just right.

Without giving away spoilers, I’ll just say this, the plot, the writing, the emotions — everything hit perfectly. This book is worth every second of your time. I can’t wait to see what Eva writes next!

Trope: Professor x Student, Secret Society

[Kiani · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved how this book concluded the series & I eat up a professor student dynamic. Jacob & Patience had the best chemistry & their tension was HOT. Jacob had me so shook I’ve never read a dark romance where the MMC only calls her baby…it’s my newest obsession because I was SWOONING

The spice in this book…next level…so good

This is fast paced so the forbidden really lacked & the ending was far fetched. I also think the decision the FMC made in the end made no sense but I really was vibing this whole book. I loved the secret society and how everything got wrapped up

[Sarina Vega · Rating 5 out of 5]

“Your fate. Your future. You are the heart of a star, and I’m the darkness you call home.”

THIS SERIES IS..FUCKING FANTASTIC!!! It’s a bittersweet end to this series. I’m sad that it’s ending but I’m also excited with this banger Eva ended it with.

If the earlier books were an early indicator,I would’ve said that I wasn’t going to like Patience. She’s icy ,defensive and judgmental. She also hated Sigma Sin with a passion and judged them all by what she saw. Patience wasn’t afraid to speak her mind. But I have to say she rose up to become one of my favorite FMC’s. Her backstory explains it all. Jacob saw her. All of her. And loved every part of her.

Patience wanted to escape from her life for a bit, so she could stand on her own. Make her own decisions. So off she goes to California for a summer course. Enter Professor Jacob Gray with his brilliant mind which she is impressed by .These two were drawn to each other immediately from first sight. I loved watching this relationship blossom. The way Eva reveals the full story of this series, was so beautifully written. She didn’t leave any questions unanswered. I loved it all. I do hope Maddox gets a book, because he certainly left me intrigued. I highly recommend this entire series. Every. Single. Book. Is amazing.

Tropes: dark, age gap, secret society, revenge, professor x student, academia, overcoming trauma.

Thank you so much Eva & The Author Agency for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I am FERAL for a forbidden professor x student trope and I ate this book up with no crumbs left behind. I love the Sigma Sin series so much and this one was everything I hoped it would be. I’m obsessed with Jacob and Patience. Their connection was so strong from the moment they first met. I loved how he constantly challenged her to open herself up. She had so many demons she was batting and he helped her overcome so much. Jacob is hot as fuck okay. This man had me sweating. He has secrets of his own and honestly I was on the edge of my seat the whole time trying to figure out how everything was going to go down. So many things are revealed that we got snippets of in past books. It was suspenseful and I was hooked from start to finish.

Thank you so much Eva Simmons and TAA for this arc!

[Kasey · Rating 2 out of 5]

Loved the first 3 in the series but this is the weakest for me.

In the others, I felt the absolute obsession. This one just fell flat. Literally nothing happens for the first 46% of the book. They go to LA, she meets the professor, and they have a few conversations in between classes about serial killers. Majority of the book was Patience having the same few thoughts over and over and over again in her head. It was soooo repetitive.

I can’t even count the number of times patience ‘lifted her chin’, is your neck weak? Does it keep tilting down and you have to manually bring your chin back up? Girl get that checked out.

I didnt feel any chemistry between the characters. They both felt like they were just going through the motions. I felt more chemistry between Kole and Violet and all we saw of them was just what Patience was describing.

I was so looking forward to a hot professor dark romance, so that’s a bummer.

[Cristina]

Well… the h didn’t work for me. She comes off as aggressive for no reason. I get she has baggage but not everyone deserves to be treated badly because she thinks they want something from her.

Infinity stars for Patience Lancaster and her Professor Jacob Gray ❤️
♾️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♾️

There is only one word to describe Revere and that is phenomenal. My mind was blown, my jaw was dropped, my heart was beating out of my chest with every sentence read and I felt every emotion I possibly could in the span of 24 hours. This book was utter perfection. In true Eva fashion, she snatched up my heart and I don't want it back.

Patience Lancaster has been accepted into Professor Jacob Gray's highly esteemed summer internship program in LA. She went for a bit of freedom and to learn from the best. But what she didn't expect was to fall right into the lap of sin itself.

I have been eagerly anticipating Revere for months and it did not disappoint. I was most excited for Patience to get her own story. Her "Ice Princess" personality shown in the previous books was definitely melted away by Professor Jacob Gray. Their chemistry was 🔥! It was so good and I devoured every letter, word, paragraph, page, and chapter like I haven't eaten for the past few weeks.

The obsession, the jealousy, I loved it all. I highlighted so much while reading and I loved that there was so much to learn about both Jacob and Patience. Secrets are unveiled and truths are exposed. I love how Jacob made Patience feel comfortable and accepted in her own skin. He didn't want to change or control her. He loved her for who she was 😭. Patience was strong and independent but Jacob was her safe place. I just wanted to hold and protect her, but Jacob had all of that covered 🤭. And Jacob was just commanding and dominant and oh so sexy 🫠. And I loved seeing him around Patience, just giggling and kicking my feet at every little flirty comment. And every time Patience bit back, oof, so good.

And this was definitely the spiciest Sigma Sin novel and I was not complaining at all. Not at all. I loved every👏 single👏 minute👏 of it. And to shine a bit of spotlight on my favorite side character, Maddox. He got a bigger role in this book and I was ecstatic about it! I love this crazy chemist so much and he's just insanely awesome 🥰. And I also enjoyed that tiny Twisted Roses cameo!

Eva always manages to catch me by surprise. Her characters are so unique and her plot twists always steal my breath away. I'm always amazed by every story she writes but this one really took me by surprise. I enjoyed guessing what was going to happen next. It was thrilling and satisfying. The ending of this book was absolutely perfect. It just warmed my heart. And that extended epilogue 🥹. That brought tears to my eyes. It made me so happy to see my favorite couples happy. It's was the cherry on top to a perfect ending 🍒! It's the end of an era and I can't wait for whatever masterpiece Eva comes up with next!

Thank you so so much to Eva Simmons and The Author Agency for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of Revere!!!

I can’t believe this was the end of the Sigma Sin series, and bittersweet it was. Eva saved the best for last. This was one of the best series I’ve read in the past year and I loved everything about it.

It’s hard to believe we could like Patience when we saw how she was throughout this series. The Ice Princess, the one who hates Sigma Sin and everything it stands for, the one who speaks her mind. But, I think she was my favorite fmc of this series. She has a tough exterior and is strong, but Jacob is the only one who accepts her as she is and simultaneously breaks through her defenses.

We know Patience and her brother Alex went through a lot growing up and she just wants to get away from what she has known her whole life and stand on her own. Jacob is her professor and a brilliant minded man who she looks up to. These two are like magnets and just get each other. So much happens in this story and we finally get the full picture. I love the epilogues too because it was wrapped up in such a neat bow that left me satisfied. I’m sad this is the end but I hope Maddox gets a story, even if it’s a stand alone. He’s interesting that one.

Thank you to the author agency for providing me with a ARC

First thing first is if I see age gap count me in!! And add professor/ student 😮‍💨 I AM HERE FOR IT 👏 literally my top favorite tropes ever to read.

This is my first read from this author and Eva Simmons did not disappoint.
I need to read the rest in the series now, I also like how it’s not a connected series so you can read any order.

I really enjoyed this book, it was so fun and a quick read too (328 pages) I love books that make me giggle, swoon and deliver some damn good spice. This book did just that for me, and honestly just had me constantly wanting more. With these tropes I ATE THIS BOOK UP AND LEFT NO CRUMBS 🤭🤭

Patience and Jacob’s chemistry was OFF THE CHARTS!!! It was just coming alive through the pages. They are literally the definition of a power couple! Gosh even the tension between them is EVERYTHING😮‍💨🥵
If you want a book with good spice along with secrets then this book is for you.

I will eat up a Professor x student relationship books and this was no different and probably my favorite of the year I loved it so much and I couldn’t get enough of them. Patience hates Sigma Sin real bad and she thought she finally found someone who wasn’t connected but well she thought wrong, Jacob is the ruthless sigma sin interrogator

Jacob oh Jacob don’t you have some secrets, Jacob is the older professor who see patience as his pawn in his game. The obsession this man has had me giggling and kicking my feet.

I love how the series was building up to this book it was just amazing, the relationship with these two was amazing the obsession they have with each other is just incredible, the emotional roller coaster this book had me in oh wow

Patience is known for being the “ice princess” of the group but she’s so much more than that, I love her down bad. She has been through so much

The chemistry and tension with these two was everything especially from their first meeting. And don’t even get me started on the spice oh my I couldn’t get enough had my fanning myself

The love of my life Maddox was more involved in this book and I lowkey saw it coming 30% in, if you know me you know I freaking love Maddox

The found family in this book is just amazing and the extend epilogue was everything I needed and more

You had me at “the sweeter the sin… “

Dark, delicious, and devastatingly addictive. Jacob Gray is the kind of villain you ache for.

I devoured Revere in one sitting and I am still reeling. Eva Simmons doesn’t just write romance, she crafts emotional warfare disguised as seduction. This final installment in the Sigma Sin series is a filled with tension, betrayal, and submission.

From the moment Patience Lancaster literally falls into Jacob Gray’s lap on a plane, I was hooked. She didn’t know he was her professor. She didn’t know he was twice her age. She definitely didn’t know he was using her to get revenge. And yet, watching her unravel under his gaze, his control, his secrets was intoxicating.

Jacob Gray isn’t just a grumpy, morally gray professor, he’s a calculated predator with a vendetta, and somehow Simmons makes you want him anyway. The power dynamics between Jacob and Patience, the age gap, professor/student, predator/prey are handled with razor-sharp precision. Watching Patience go from resistance to surrender, from trust to betrayal, was heartbreaking and exhilarating.

The writing is lush, lyrical, and laced with venom. Every line drips with tension. When Patience learns the truth about Jacob’s motives, it’s like the floor drops out from under you. The submission scenes aren’t just spicy, they’re psychological. You feel every shift in control, every flicker of doubt, every gasp of surrender.

And the ending? No spoilers, but it’s earned. Painful, cathartic, and unforgettable.

If you love forbidden romance, dark academia, and villains who make you question everything, Revere is your poison. And I drank every drop.

A huge thank you to Eva Simmons & The Author Agency for the early copy!

[Katie · Rating 5 out of 5]

The epic conclusion to the Sigma Sin series is here and I am both elated and sad. Patience's story has been teased over the last couple of books and I could not wait to dive into her forbidden love story with Jacob!

When Patience gets into a summer study program in LA, she has no idea that Professor Gray is none other than Jacob, the man she ran into on the plane. What she also does not know is that Jacob has secret reasons for wanting Patience to be on that plane and in his classroom.

I loved finally getting into Patience's head after seeing her actions from other POVs. She has such a "ice princess" facade, so I loved seeing how she is so much more than the mask she is forced to play. The banter between her and the Professor was perfection, and I loved seeing her walls come down and the ice begin to melt. I also could not get enough of Jacob and his obsession of Patience. As he got to know her, his protective instincts kicked in and I was feral for more. He fell for Patience as she was and the moments were he made her feel comfortable in her own skin, scars and all were magnificent.

The layered way this story unfolded and tied into the other stories was perfection. I ended up reading this book in one sitting. The chemistry, the push and pull and the suspense melded together beautifully. I am forever a Eva Simmons fan, and this series ranks as one of my favorites of the year.

Thank you so much to Eva and The Author Agency for the early copy of Revere! I am so excited to see where Eva will take us next!

This series genuinely got better with every single book, and this one completely sealed the deal for me. I mean… a professor x student, age-gap, enemy’s daughter trope? ☺️ That combination alone had so much potential, but the execution was perfect. I already knew from the previous books that Patience’s story was going to hurt and it absolutely did but what stood out most was her strength. I admired how she never backed down from her own beliefs, especially regarding the Sigma House, and how she stayed true to herself until the very end without letting her friends influence her decisions. It honestly hurt to read how everyone kept calling her an “Ice Princess,” and how she pretended it didn’t affect her at all. That emotional distance she maintained just made her character even more heartbreaking and admirable. And Professor Gray… wow. He was everything🤭The tension between him and Patience was hands down the best in the entire series 😍 argue with the wall. The chemistry was intense but the spice never felt like too much which I really appreciated. Now, Declan… I love him. Truly. But in this book? He drove me insane. Handing Patience over to the professor, fully knowing she’d be used as a tool for revenge against her father, all in the name of “Sigma House loyalty”? Absolutely not. Especially considering she’s his wife’s best friend, the fact that this wasn’t even addressed properly really bothered me. So yes, Alex punching him was well deserved. Overall I’m so glad I read this series. The first book was honestly awful to me, but this one, along with the second, made it completely worth it. A powerful, emotional story with incredible tension and a heroine I won’t forget anytime soon.

I definitely went into this blind. And what I mean by that is I’m starting the series at the fourth book and then I’m looping around back to the first book. Patience is(was) a spoiled rich girl who doesn’t trust easy and has wall high it would take forever to climb. And Jacob is about to shake her world up and bring those walls down. He wants revenge on her father. Patience is a bit of a b***h but she has her reasons and that’s her business. Her parents are a piece of work. That momma of hers is crazy with a capital C. Patience thinks Jacob maybe the man for her because she thinks he is safe meaning he has nothing to do with Sigma Sin. Jacob hides his crazy in plain sight. His original goal was use Patience against her father but now he’s had a taste and is hooked. He said she is mine now. Our girl gives this man her trust( which we know wasn’t the move) and then he broke it. Miss mama found out he was a Sigma Sin in a horrible way I may add, and she was done with him. Jacob is not giving her up so easily. All types of secrets are spilling now and I’m eating them all up. Honey when I tell you my jaw dropped when I read a certain part. The last 15% of this book had me and Petunia shooketh. I’m so happy for Jacob and Patience. They compliment each other so well. I’m especially happy for my girl Patience, she found her happy and she deserves it all. I’m hooked, I’m so irritated I didn’t start this series sooner. Revere was amazing, Jacob is my favorite. This story took me on a ride that I wasn’t prepared for and not ready to get off. Thank you Eva, I will be adding this series to my shelves.

This book was an emotional rollercoaster. I felt so bad for Patience. Her mom has tortured her all her life (the religious psychosis made me want to punch her mom) and she absolutely hates sigma sin so of course the one man she falls for is more entangled in her life than she ever expected. And the secrets 😭

I can’t believe the sigma sin series is officially over. I’m definitely going to miss this fictional world. This is one of my favorite dark romance series ever. Kole and Alex will forever be my favorites. I could read Saint over and over again

This book was hard to rate for me. I really enjoyed the plot but I just didn’t feel the connection between Patience and Jacob. It felt like they got sexual things started much quicker than they should’ve, it seemed like it came out of nowhere. With how stubborn and strong willed Patience is how their sexual relationship began didn’t fit her character imo. She literally came into his office to complain about her grade and he’s like you didn’t really come here for that did you. Idk I just didn’t care for it and then after that they were pretty much inseparable so for most of the book I didn’t feel that connection which sucked because again I really liked the plot and I liked Patience character a lot.

With that said I still really loved this series and absolutely recommend it if you’re looking for a good dark romance series.

[Catherine · Rating 4 out of 5]

Patience was never my favorite character from the beginning. I assumed she had more trauma than what was obvious with her brother Alex and his trial. In this book, we finally see how she was treated by her parents, especially her mother. It explains a lot about her character. It's easier to understand why she hates Sigma Sin so much and why she is always perfectly controlled and disciplined. Her mother didn't allow imperfection. Going to LA for her summer internship is the most free she has ever felt. Patience allows herself to enjoy life, which includes enjoying the attention of her professor Jacob Gray. Someone she believes is outside of Sigma Sin and its influence.

We know from previous books that Jacob is the man Declan wants to become president of the Sigma Sin Council. They need someone in charge to bridge the gap between the campus fraternity and members around the country. As the Interrigator, Jacob is both feared and respected, and he has a grudge against Patience's father. He intended to use her against her family until he met her and realized what they had in common.

It's interesting that the girl who did everything to avoid and get away from the fraternity would end up with the man destined to rule it. I also love and feel so satisfied that she ended up with everything her mother could have wanted after he mother spent her entire life resenting Patience and telling her she was worthless.

I’m so sad this series is over. This has been an amazing series! I loved that it ended with Patience and the Jacob aka the professor it felt very fitting. Eva did an amazing job with the book and series. Each book had been amazing.

Patience is in the way to spend the summer in criminal psychology class. Patience and Violet are doing the summer program together. Patience ends up next to man on the plain that ends up being her professor of her summer class. Patience doesn’t know it but Professor is involved in the world that Patience hates.

Patience and Jacob were amazing! I loved there story so much and it was everything I needed for there series. Patience hasn’t been my favorite Female of this series but learning her story and watching her grow as a character made me love her. Eva canny write a bad book and will make you love each character.

Patience is guarded, smart, and untrusting for good reason. There’s so much buildup to her story in the other books that I thought this one could be my favorite in the series. Instead, it’s my least favorite of all her works I’ve read.

There was noooo chemistry. No buildup. No angst. No groveling. No yearning. It was all insta-lust and with how fast they fell into each other, I cringed multiple times. Like, you’re gonna tell me he’s your professor who’s 17 years older than you and you accidentally fell into his lap and all of the sudden you let your guard down and trust him within the week?!?! GIRL YOU DON’T KNOW HIM. And he’s the DEFINITION of red flags, which she ignores, despite being as smart as she is. There’s betrayals in here that needed at least SOME groveling by MULTIPLE characters and it never happened, leaving me unsatisfied. I liked the extended epilogue (kinda?) but there’s also no intentions of a 2nd gen series so it’s just kinda all thrown at our feet for nothing.

At the end of the day, I was bored and it gave me next to nothing. There were a couple parts I did enjoy & I do like the FMC so it gets 2⭐️ instead of 1⭐️ for that reason only.

Revere by Eva Simmons 5⭐️
ARC from the author agency

Patience, girl did you even stand a chance against Jacob Gray!?!? 😭😭The Sigma Sin series immediately became a forever favorite for me, and every single book, every plot twist, every character and their secret motives, made me even more obsessed. Finally, we end with Revere. Throughout all the books, Patience is closed off and you can tell she’s hurting, but she just locks it down. The threads were woven from the start, and her collision with Sigma Sin was inevitable. I loved Patience and I’m so so happy to have a look into her mind in this story. She’s a great example of how those who appear the strongest or most hardened are really desperate to be soft and safe. From the first introduction of Jacob, I’m kicking my feet IM SORRY!!!!!! He was soooooo smug and hot Professor goodness I’m sorry ok I cannot help it. THE RULER!!!!!!! I love a good revenge plot and this one….the twists, the turns!!! 👀 my jaw hitting the floor at the end just had me shook lol. The Sigma Sin universe is so intricate and mysterious, and of course I loved to see my babies from past books pop in 🥹 this series is *chefs kiss* and if you’re looking for some major character development, sexy AF possessive men, and insane plot twists, this series is a must. don’t get me started on the bonus epilogue I’m still emotional!!!!!! 😂😂😂 thank you to Eva, I am so grateful we exist in the same timeline so I can read these books 😂😂🖤 thanks to The Author Agency for the early ARC!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Revere is book 4 in the Sigma Sin series, releasing 11/14/25!!!

I am obsessed with this series! This is the last book of the Sigma Sin series and it was so good. Although I hate to see the series come to an end I think this book wrapped everything up really well.
I absolutely loved Patience and Jacob and have been waiting for Patience story. Without giving too much away in the earlier books Patience is made out to be a stuck up girl but after reading this book you find out there is way more to her and her reasonings for feeling the way she does. Also! Although I love all the other couples and characters I kind of thought they were bad friends after seeing Patience POV!
Jacob is everything. This is probably my favorite professor x student book!
There are so many twist and turns, I couldn’t put the book down.
I recommend this entire series especially if you like dark romance and secret society vibes!

Rating ⭐️: 5/5

Holy cow! I just finished Revere by Eva Simmons and I’m still processing all I read. This was such a good book and a perfect ending to the Sigma Sin Series!

I freaking loved Patience and Jacob together. Patience needed someone to care and look out for her and Jacob was that man. All his secrets though! Whew! Just when I thought I had the story figured out BAM! Another twist, turn or secret was shown and this just added to the storyline so much! I really liked how Alex and Mika’s story runs concurrently throughout Revere too…seeing them and the rest of the gang together was nice. Don’t miss the bonus epilogue for a glimpse at the gang in 10 years’ time as well.

Thank you to Eva Simmons for the ARC of this book.

Arc read 🖤🖤
5 stars ✨
Spice 3.8/5 🌶️

I had a feeling from the previous sigma sin books that Patience had a fuck ton going on in her life to cause her personality to be the way it was. This book gave us a chance to look into her past and see exactly why.

Not gonna lie, I was excited and extremely intrigued by Professor Jacob Gray. Especially from the flashes of him in Atone 🥵 I already knew he would be excellent. Dare I say this was my favorite sigma sin book? that decision is huge considering I loved all of them!

I lovedddd this boook as I love all of Eva Simmons books and so happy I can be apart of her journey. 10/10 recommend to anyone who loves a good dark romance series!
