Squire

Sinner's Mark MC #5

by Sinclair Kelly

I have five men at my back...

Until I don’t.

The woman who was okay being alone has gotten used to warm beds and safe arms. Now that everything is once again cold, I’m ill equipped to handle what lies ahead.

Facing evil is one thing. Recognizing it in a face that is unexpectedly familiar is another.

There’s only one way to survive this new nightmare—lock away the emotions that have slowly crept back into my heart, and let the Avenging Angel once again take the wheel.

She’s our only hope of getting out of this alive.

Squire is the final book in the Sinners Mark MC series, a medium-burn reverse harem romance featuring darker elements. Please check my website for trigger warnings.

What a finale for Remy and her men, there’s plenty to keep you turning the pages in this book 😅
After the shock reveal of who Colt really is and why he’s out to get Remy she has minutes to make decisions that will determine her future and the fate of her men who are all separated from her 😖 thankfully Remy has a core of steel that has only become stronger now she’s pregnant and has a real opportunity for a future life with her men 😍 we see a real character development in Remy with how she balances her Avenging Angel with this new softer side 💪 love though that she maintains that sharp and slightly psychopathic mind though (you have been warned ⚠️) she is out to get her revenge and nothing is going to stop her 🔫
Her men really put all differences aside in this book to fight beside Remy and show her what she can have 🥰 they also push her to her limits on some seriously 🔥 scenes! Everything is drawn to a conclusion and answered in this HEA for the crazy Steele twin 😁

i can’t believe the series is finally over 😭 i loved this series. 𝑺𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒓𝒆 is the longest book in the 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒓’𝒔 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝑴𝑪 series. the other books in the series are each just under 200 pages, so, each book is a pretty quick read and easily digestible. especially if you want to binge the series.

𝑺𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒓𝒆 picks up right where the last book ends. i would definitely check the trigger warnings for this book bc it definitely felt darker than the others and some on page stuff happens to Remy. and some torture by Remy to bad people. the author does list the specific chapters in case people need to skip. hopefully she doesn’t ruin corn dogs for you 😜

“𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘺. 𝘐𝘵’𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦’𝘴 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘐 𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘪𝘵.”

Remy has 5 men who love her and would slay her demons for her, but their love doesn’t magically “fix” her. they help her work through her trauma, and are always aware of her life limits.

i loved that the epilogue comes full circle to Christmas time 🥺 and without spoiling anything, i loved that her lifestyle “choices” were adjusted, and didn’t completely end just because of the change in their family dynamic.

but also all the men in this series giving Remy the respect that she deserves *chef’s kiss* even the ones outside her men. everyone knew she was a badass and treated her like it.

i love the omegaverse books the author writes, but i hope she continues with motorcycle club books.


🏍️🔪 thank you Sinclair Kelly for an eARC of this book 🖤

Such a fantastic conclusion to Remy and her men's story!! Sinclair Kelly didn't hold any punches and gave us the HEA we could have hoped for and more. Remy is out for blood to protect those she loves, her dual sides warring as she prepares to end things so that she can love her life full of love with her men and family at her side. I loved this epic conclusion full of action, spice, rage, fear, love and more.

OMFG every hook in this series was just sooo good and kept getting better and better. Remy to the M@$&er Fing rescue ! If you didn’t already love her In This book you definitely will ! She is the epitome of a bad @$$ the queen ! Love all her men, swoon, it’s violent but I loved it as they get what they deserve! So sad there is no more and the end but loved the conclusion and epilogue ! Most highly recommended series !

[Haste]

Really sweet series, but I don’t like twin books. Although the men didn’t actually do anything sexual with “Etta”, Saint and the guys were willing to give up their dream of being with Remy, and let her go because Ace needed to marry Etta. The feelings they developed were for Remy, but it still rubs me the wrong way that they thought they were developing feelings for Etta, and were willing to all share her and forget about Remy. Saint was the only one of the four actually able to tell the difference between Remy and Etta. They say that if Etta had been there instead of Remy, that they wouldn’t have fallen in love with her, but I doubt that. It just bothers me that Saint was willing to let Remy go and say goodbye to her, and form a life/fuck her sister instead.

A chaotic but beautiful finale to such a great series. My emotions were constantly up and down; I was laughing, crying, cringing, smiling like a fool, fanning myself and cheering for their happily ever after. I cannot describe how happy I am that Remy found herself in all the chaos, learned to trust again, and got her vengeance.

As always I love talking about the characters. Remy, the woman that will never leave my head. I truly get why the guys are obsessed with her, I am too and she’s not even real! This woman endured what no one ever should; yet she took that pain and trauma and turned it into something good. Now, I say good because that’s what I view it, others may not feel the same way; but she is morally grey and I love her for it. Which makes this ending so much more meaningfully beautiful. Remy has found her peace, her happiness, and how to truly live. Her past no longer weighs as heavy as it once did. Buttttttt, doesn’t mean she doesn’t get stabby when she needs to. You can take the girl out of the serial killing, but not the serial killer out of the girl.

And her men: Ace, Saint, Trip, Rogue and Squire. Her husband, her jokester, her calm, her big man, and her best friend. Each of them loves her fiercely, there is not a single thing on this planet they wouldn’t do for her. They saw her dark and damaged heart, and embraced it. They did not shy away or try to change her; instead they stood by her side and help her exact the revenge needed to calm her inner demons. Not only that, but they also allowed her to trust, to be vulnerable, to be submissive, and showed her unconditional love. She had some of those things with Etta, but the men brought something out of her she never knew existed.

For the storyline, everything came full circle. From book 1 to now it all flowed so well and allowed the readers to get captivated and invested in the story. I was constant cheering for Remy and her men to come out on top. Issue after issue was thrown at them, battling between life and death, it was never ending. The storytelling and plot kept me at the edge of my seat and enthralled with every word. I also hope the substory of Etta and her harem gets explored in their own series! I’d read it in a heartbeat!

Overall, I am obsessed with this series. Book 5, Squire, is the perfect wrap up. It had everything you good want in a good book. I am officially a fan of Sinclair Kelly and will be reading more of her work!


⚠️ STOP HERE IF YOU DON’T WANT SLIGHT SPOILERS AND THEN A MAJOR SPOILER ⚠️



Slightly spoiler? We learn in book 3 that Remy is pregnant, so that parts not a spoiler. But slight spoiler ahead: I was smiling like a damn fool at the end of the book seeing the men and Remy with their daughter. The epilogue and end of extended epilogue were so stinkin cute! I would like bonus chapters of their lives for the rest of eternity.

Big spoiler: One thing that I don’t know if I entirely followed correctly or was a ‘plot hole’ was making Colt look like the Avenging Angel. Everything made sense about the set up; the files, his FBI clearance helping cover things up, and the “fee” transfer. The only thing that confused me is “fee transfer” would mean Remy was his victim/target. But the Avenging Angel’s victim’s were bad people with a long list of transgressions. Remy would not have a long list of transgressions, so why would the Avenging Angel go after her? Like I said, maybe my brain just didn’t follow it all but that part was slightly off to me.

Squire is the fifth and final book in the Sinner’s Mark MC series by Sinclair Kelly. You will definitely need to read books one through four prior to reading this. The story picks up quite literally where it left off in book four. They aren’t very long and I was able to read about two a day before diving into book five.

This is a reverse harem series that started off with a marriage arranged with hopes of bringing two MC clubs into legitimate business together sans crime. Our FMC Remy quickly learns that many of the officers of her new club, Sinner’s Mark, are of the sharing variety, and she’s not entirely opposed to the idea. They become a close unit, but someone is out to get them. We finally have answers for who has been attacking them, and get to see Remy and her guys dole out some justice. As the series progresses the vi0lence gradually increases. Remy gets her revenge and she does not hold any punches.

This one was just alright for me. I enjoy this author’s writing style but I think the reverse harems with more than 3 or 4 guys are a little too busy for me. I had a moment I mentioned to my partner that a lot of RH series where the men aren’t intimate will have some random moment near the end where for some reason two of the guys will just start going at it during group scenes with zero build up. In many instances it doesn’t work. There was a moment like that here (they don’t ‘go at it’ but there was something that happened). While what occurred was on par for one character, there was never any discussion of it beforehand and I was kind of disappointed that I was right lol. I’ll probably skip the RH next time but will still return to this author in the future.

📖 Squire, book 5 in the Sinner’s Mark MC series by Sinclair Kelly, is available now.

I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

[Carol Rupprecht · Rating 5 out of 5]

The fifth and final book in this series is finally here and let me tell you, this book has been such a riot to read. The ups and downs have been crazy and I feel Sinclair balanced out everything within the storyline pretty well. We had bits of action mixed in with traumatic happenings. Revenge and packages of “packages” wrapped up in pretty little bows. Mystery with a side dish of humor. So much support and trust in the relationship. New gardening hobbies! I mean we've got it all. Oh, and we cannot forget the steamy scenes. See, we're checking all the boxes over here! This was definitely a fantastic way to wrap up the series and I couldn't be happier. Everything seemed to come full circle from where we first started on Remy's journey and I think this was a well deserved ending for Remy and her family. It was different in a way that I don't often see with characters, an adaptation to a new life without forgetting the old one. Loved that for Remy.
But now that her story has come to an end the real question is, will we see a series for Etta, or perhaps a novella for Aunt Charlie? I'm here for all of it and would love to see any of the characters introduced in this series again. Except for Colt. He can stay where he's at just fine.

[Booktrovert_reads_romance · Rating 5 out of 5]

We made it to the final book! The road to get here with Remy and her guys was hard, but man was this everything I could have wanted for the finale.

Remy is so real. She has been through so much & just like in real life that trauma stays with her & she has to work through it. Everything doesn’t just magically turn into rainbows and I absolutely love that about Sinclair’s books!

I have loved the character development throughout this entire series! Sometimes, when a series centers around one group of characters for this many books you hit a point where your like enough is enough lets get to the HEA already, but I truly never felt that way with this entire series. She could have made it last for another few books and I would have gladly gone on that ride with her! 😂

I don’t want to give anything away but if you love…

🖤dark romance
💛why choose
🖤strong characters
💛healing from trauma
🖤ALL the steamy moments 🫠

…then you absolutely need to add this whole series to your library!

[Stacey Foss · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an incredible ending, The Avenging Angel showed up with a vengeance to protect her family and her men. I loved how fierce Remy is and how her men stand by her through and through. She will do anything to protect those she loves and they will stand by whatever she chooses to do. When the truths are revealed bout Colt and who he is to Remy and what he plans to do your heart starts pounding. It will keep you on the edge just waiting for the next twist to fall and the next plan Colt has to take Remy down to come into play. Her men know when to push her to her limits and when to show her their sweet side. This book was action packed, full of twists and the steam oh my lord did it have steam. The ending was perfection and the Revenge was bitter sweet, loved every second of it. I was given this book as an ARC for my honest review.

[Jens_Book_Cubby · Rating 5 out of 5]

Squire is the fifth and final book in the Sinner's Mark MC Series. It is a dark, contemporary, reverse harem, MC romance with a traumatized FMC and a serial unaliver. It has action, intrigue, steam, emotion provoking moments, and so much more.

This was an amazing ending to this series. Remy is determined to get revenge for herself, one way or another, and she will not let anyone take that away from her, no matter the circumstances. Remy is a terrific FMC who shows great character development throughout the series. I truly loved her, the way everything wraps up, and her HEA with her men.

The writing, pace, flow, and plot of the story are excellent, as are the characters, storyline, storytelling, character development, relationship development, and world building. I loved this series and would absolutely recommend it.

[BobbiJo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Am I sad that the Sinner’s Mark MC Series is over? Yes
But was Squire the perfect ending to the series? Absolutely

This book had me going through all the emotions from frustration to swooning, angst to sweating from the spice. I love how the guys accept Remy for who she is, not trying to change her, just protect her.

I also really appreciated that Remy wasn’t just fixed instantly of her trauma just because she fell in love. We get to see the guys helping her with her trauma a lot in this book, I was so here for it. Those moments also led to some hilarious spicy moments that helped release some tension from those triggering moments.

Remy and her guys had a long hard road to get to their HEA, but Sinclair Kelly delivers it beautifully.

[Richelle Zirkle · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was the finish I hoped for for these wonderful characters. Remy is still the amazingly strong woman I’ve loved and watched grow from the first book. Her trauma is still very real, but she has multiple partners who support her now and help her slay her demons. This one doesn’t pull any punches as Remy finally confronts multiple enemies determined to take her down, but she isn’t the Avenging Angel in name alone. She’s prepared to back up her name with action. I loved that when the odds were stacked against them, they were able to recruit some loyal help… And I hope we get to see those faces again in the future. I am eager for Etta’s story now. That dynamic seems more promising than ever now that it’s been teased!

[Renee · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

This is the final book in the Sinner's Mark MC Series. Remy and her guys have been through a lot. We have learned who Colt really is and that was shocking in and of itself. We also know the reason he is out to get her. All five of her guys really love her but right now they are all separated from each other and really going through it. I love how she was willing to so whatever she had to to take care of the family she is building. I love that these guys really stand by her too. There is so much to love in this book and I feel like if I tell you a lot I am going to give something away. You will devour this book. It is the perfect ending to this series.

[Elisabeth · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fitting finale

Endings for series are tricky. Often they feel too drawn out or rushed, like the author lost track or got bored with their story, but thankfully that wasn't the case here. The pacing for Remy and her family to figure things out and take down the true villains behind all the bad happenings was actually quite satisfying!

You get the run of moments: the violence, the spice 🔥, and a lot of sweet and nice , with the MC crowd. Remy really owns her light and dark sides to tear back her HEA from those who would want to take it away. If you tend to be easily queasy, the violent parts can be quite violent (but in most cases with the Avenging Angel, you know the punishment fit the original crimes).

[Nicole Polson · Rating 5 out of 5]

this series will probably always hold me hostage!

I can not even begin to describe how hard this entire series held me. It’s so hard to review this for just one book. You do have to read the whole series to get your HEA and it must be read in order. The level of insanity that this woman was put through was just so intense that I was on pins and needles for her throughout the entire series. In this final book it all comes to a head. The peaks and valleys of this story finally come to a final turn and we get one last twist in the dark that thankfully leads us to our HEA. I will never regret picking up the first book in this series. Hands down on of the best written stories I’ve ever read. Check your triggers and enjoy!

[Daphnne · Rating 5 out of 5]

The way I have been looking forward to this book is hard to put into words. On the flip side I'm also sad because I have loved Remy and her men and their story. This final installment was everything I wanted it to be. Full of twists, action, Remy & Saint's brand of crazy, all of the sexy times (these were on fire 🔥) and full of unexpected sweet moments. I loved all of appearances from Etta, her men and some surprises. Remy got the ending she deserved after everything she's endured and it was beautiful to see.

This series is definitely going to be on my reread rotation because I'm going to miss Remy, Ace, Saint, Trip, Rogue and Squire something fierce.

🖤🖤🖤

This book! 🖤 This story! 🖤 This series! 🖤 What an epic ending to one hell of an awesome series. I am totally fangirling over Remy. I love both her badassary side and her soft side. Sinclair Kelly wrote a true kickass fmc. All 5 of the guys made my ovaries come alive again. Their love and devotion, wow we'd all be so lucky in the real world to have Saint, Rogue, Trip, Ace and Squire in real life. Some of those positions they had Remy in made me wonder if my arthritic hips could handle that kind of delicious punishment. 🥵
Squire made is a brilliant conclusion to the series, leaving me totally satisfied. You have gotta read this series y'all!

What an ending to a series I absolutely ADORE!!!

Squire is the 5th and final book in the Sinners Mark MC series. This is a dark why choose romance. Make sure to check the trigger warning.

I have been all in with this series since I read book 1 and this ending was everything I was hoping it would be and more!!! But I am also so very sad it's over! I know I will be rereading this series A LOT!!!

Remy and her guys HEA is incredible, the twists, the action, the spice, it's just all around perfect and I need everyone to go read this series and fall in love with it as much as I am!!!

Sinclair Kelly never disappoints!!!

[Mindy · Rating 5 out of 5]

As soon as I saw the title in my email, I couldn't wait to dive in. I can't believe this is the end of remy's story. It picks up right where it left, and omg, this series takes you for a wild ride. Remy is so strong she keeps on fighting no matter what is thrown her way. I'd love to see how she has grown throughout the series and how she's healing. She is so she is so fierce, and she protects those she cares about with everything she has. I'm sad to see that this series is ending. But that being said, it was an incredible series. Sinclair, kelly did a phenomenal job, and I just love it.

[Sue Harbers · Rating 5 out of 5]

What I loved about Squire the most was the fact that Remy took the bull by the horns and, despite all the pressure she was under, she took care of business all by herself. She solidly proves that even when she’s vulnerable she can take care of business. The guys are amazing of course but this was probably one of the biggest challenges for them as well, being that their hands are tied and they have to wait in order to be able to help. I especially loved the epilogues, it helped make saying goodbye to this incredible group a little easier!

[Melissa Howse · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this series so much that I dreaded finishing Squire and saying goodbye to this world. Remy's character had so much growth and healing in this series from her five guys and I loved them all. Squire brings forth all the trauma from the Steele sisters past and they are able to get the revenge needed to slay their demons and get their HEA. Sinclair Kelly spins this tale into a beautiful trauma that kept me laughing, crying, biting my nails and never wanting it to end. Read the trigger warnings and enjoy the ride!!

[Jessica L · Rating 5 out of 5]

Squire is the powerful conclusion to the Sinner's Mark series, and it absolutely delivered. Each of the men brought something unique to the table, and watching their bond deepen with a badass heroine like Remy—who’s endured unimaginable trauma—felt raw, real, and deeply emotional. Sinclair Kelly masterfully wrapped up Remy's journey, giving her the happily ever after she deserved. I couldn’t wait to see how her story ended, and it did not disappoint. A gripping, steamy, and satisfying finale to an unforgettable RH MC series.

[Rachel Stephens · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can't believe it's over. I was so excited, but also a little sad. However, book 5 didn't disappoint. The author brings us a great conclusion for Remy and her guys.
Remy is a force. She continues to prove it and she grows along the way. I loved her.
I can't forget her men though, because I loved each of them too.
This book had action, twists and turns, delicious spice, and more!
There was also some humor throughout and lots of emotions.
I loved it!!

[Jennifer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a series a long time in the making and now that it’s over, I’m so sad! But the Avenging Angel delivered her vengeance and then some! And her 5 men stand by her side the entire time… not trying to fix her or heal her but to support her and her demons. This book is definitely darker than some of the others, but it was justified. I loved the ending… Christmas time again… just how it started. Miss Kelly definitely nailed it with this one. I’m so hoping we get Etta’s story next!

[Jen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Whooo! That was definitely worth the wait for this book. Remy and her guys finally got their HEA(or as best as a serial killer can get). Some parts were a bit brutal but I think that is what I liked most out of this book. The bad guys were getting what they deserved and boy did they get it!

Now that Remy’s story is finished I wonder if we will get one for Etta. That is a book that I will definitely want to read❤️.

[Ally · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well then…. It’s been awhile since I read the rest of this series, but I don’t recall it being quite so graphic. I just can’t give this more than 3 stars due to my lack of enjoyment because of that. Just a heads up that like 7/10 of this book is REALLY graphic murders and degrading sex. There’s also sexual assault of the FMC (not by the MMCs). I’d honestly give it a 1 in terms of enjoyment, but the writing itself is still on par with the rest of the series.

[Katie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such a fantastic series. I have loved this series since book one. So happy I finally get Squires book. I’ve been waiting for this one. Loved reading about Remy and her men. This book had the perfect ending. Loved all the action and steam. This is definitely going to be one of those series that I can reread over and over again. Highly recommend reading. I was obsessed. No spoilers here.
Definitely a must read!!!
