Sinclair Affairs #1

Redeemed in Crimson

Rate this book
Sloane Johnson’s life has been planned out for years. Bland, boring, and everything her parents want. When her mother signs her up for a church play, the last thing she expects is to catch the attention of her director’s much older, much more experienced son. But the moment the devil locks eyes on her, she belongs to him. He’s tattooed, gorgeous, and watching her every move. As his obsession grows, she knows he’ll never let her go. And the truth is, she never wants him to. Even if it means losing everything she’s ever known on her fall from grace.

Ledger Sinclair is walking sin incarnate. He’s the kind of man parents warn their children about. Spiraling through one mode of self-destruction after another, his life is one long hedonistic existence. Until he sees her. His angel. She’s as innocent as they come, and he knows he should leave her alone before he drags her into the depths of his depravity. But in an instant, he realizes he would do anything to make her his. There’s no escaping the devil...even if she doesn’t know him yet.

It’s very insta-lust/love. We have a manwhore H and a virginal h who happens to have a bf. Of course, the h’s parents are the ones controlling the h. Nothing new here. Plus the writing style didn’t work for me.

4 ⭐️/2.5🌶️

Okay, let me tell you - this book is filled with all of my fav tropes and I signed up for this without even reading the blurb. 🙈

It took me a few minutes to get into the writing, but once I did, I binged the book in less than 8 hrs.
Sloane and Ledger were written nicely. Ledger was gone from the second he saw Sloane, and that was adorable. 💕

The plot needs some work, but it didn't take away much from the reading experience. For me, Ledger's craziness made up for it. That man is gone completely lol.

Okay Book

Redeemed in Crimson was a solid 3.5-star read for me. The stalking element was top tier—I’ve never seen anyone renovate a house based on someone’s Pinterest board, and it was such a unique touch. I loved Ledger both as a stalker and as a person; he saw what he wanted and stopped at nothing to get it, even changing his whole life to be the man Sloane deserved. Sloane, on the other hand, needed some hard love to finally cut certain people out of her life, and I enjoyed watching her journey. Allie was a great friend who supported Sloane through everything—from the anonymous gifts that met her every need and want, to the ups and downs of building a relationship with Ledger. The emotions and sex scenes were well done and definitely kept me coming back for more.

This is the first in a new series, and this is Sloane and Ledger’s story.
Sloane is sweet and innocent, and she has led a sheltered life, with her life planned out for her by her religious parents. When Sloane’s mother signs her up for a church play, she meets the director’s son, Ledger, who from the moment he sees her, he knows she is his.
This is a well written story which has family, friendships, emotions, trauma, obsession, an age gap, strangers / lovers, stalker / biker, morally gray, healing, undeniable chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining page tuner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

The Angel and The Devil

This is for those who love over the top, insta love with two people who couldn’t be any more different. Ledger fell for Sloane right away. Who would have thought that a church play would bring an angel and a devil together.

Ledger takes Sloane from her sheltered life and does everything in his power to bring Sloane out of her shell. I love the stalkerish bad boy who falls for an innocent and this book gave me that and more. I can’t wait to see what comes next from this author.

ARC Review:

GOD… i need to know where i can get a LEDGER for myself 🫦 I LOVE THIS MAN! the obsession and the stalking was laid out so perfectly he bought her all the books from her TBR, bought her everything she had on her pinterest boards and even built a house for her based on that 😭 also calling her his future wife after he just met her and building a nursery for their babies did something to me.. 😮‍💨

Sloan is our naïve virgin FMC. She is a college student who is stuck in a relationship she isn't happy with with parents who control what she does all the time. She ends up getting signed up for a church program that changes the projection of her life.

Ledger is our self-destructive obsessives, MMC. Owner of smex Club and ultimate playboy. That all changes when he sees Sloan for the first time.

Ledger becomes obsessive and starts stalking our fmc, going so far to break up her and the ex (the ex was a piece of work, so I don't feel bad). Now things are finally looking up, and Sloan has to decide if she is going to go all in with Ledger or do what her parents say.

This is book 1 in the Sinclair Affairs Series, and I can't wait for book 2. If you like possessive mmc's with an insta-love aspect, this is the perfect book for you.

While this may have had an “instalove” trope, there was still this awesome slow(ish) burn. For starters I LOVE the dedication page. Ledgers mom is wonderful. The author did a great job making Sloane’s family and Dean dislikeable. I’m not a huge fan of the miscommunication trope but I feel like this book only slightly touched on that. Ledger is exactly what Sloane needed and so is ledgers family. I’m excited for book 2 for sure. ❤️

Dark romance you say? Your girl is a dark romance lover, all you have to do is bait that hook with a dark romance read, and I am all over that bait. I’ll go straight to that shopping list and salivate over what awaits me inside the pages of that book, with no qualms in sight. I’ll read that book in a crowded room full of my coworkers with a blank face and feel no shame. I did, just that with Redeemed in Crimson by T.K. Drake. I ignored all the red flags that Ledger had to offer and added him to my list of fictional book boyfriends. I turned his red flags into green flags! However, with that being said I am not sure if I have become immune to dark romances, but Redeemed in Crimson felt tame in comparison to past reads. Yes, it has dark romance aspects but like I said it seemed to be on the lighter side. Take my opinion on that with a grain of salt if you are new to the genre of dark romance, because what I consider tame maybe extreme to others.


As much as I enjoyed Redeemed in Crimson, a few times throughout the story I found myself cringing from the second hand embarrassment I felt for Sloane’s character. Naive is an understatement when it comes to her character. Not only that but Ledger’s actions at times made his character seem younger than his 30 years of age. Even, with all that being said I did devour Ledger and Sloane’s story in less than 24 hours and I am excited to see what Masked in Deception has to offer.

Redeemed in Crimson is book one in the Sinclair Affairs series and is the story of Sloane and Ledger. This is a strangers to lovers, obsessive, stalker, virgin, found family romance.

Sloane has had her future planned for her since birth, her overbearing parents controlling every aspect of her life. When Sloane returns for her second year of college, she sees a biker in traffic and is enamored first by his motorcycle and then by the grey eyes behind the visor. Ledger sees a beautiful pair of sad green eyes staring back at him in stopped traffic and is instantly attracted to the look for longing he finds there. When fate steps in and Sloane is cast in a church play as head angel, she comes face to face with than man behind the visor and the devil of the play Ledger.

As Ledger inserts himself into Sloane's life, his obsession with her grows and his desire to make her his is endless. Ledger wants nothing more than to care for and take care of Sloane in ways that she has not experienced in her life and devote himself to letting her become the woman she was destined to be. Ledger shows Sloane his full self, the man of fighting, filthy promises and even filthier desires and she welcomes every ounces of the man he is and embraces the desires she herself discovers.

This is a well written, spicy love story with a man with the filthiest mouth but with a devotion that knows no bounds. The care and concern Ledger has for Sloane is obsessive, quietly demanding and speaks to his devotion to the woman he loves. There are some truly unhinged moments but Ledger falls hard and fast and never waivers in his devotion and love for Sloane. The drama with her ex was not unexpected but I loved how the author handled it. While Sloane's parents were atrocious to her, the way Ledger's family accepted and embraced Sloane was perfect and gave her the stability and love she had missed out in her life.

There is a LOT of spice that is well written and hot as Hades but also tender moments of real connection and desire. If you enjoy an obsessive, stalker MMC who loves his woman with all that he is and helps her discover the woman she always was meant to be then this is the book for you.

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

New authors that did not disappoint and pulled me in to devour this book in half a day! Redeemed in Crimson is book 1 in the Sinclair Affair series by and it is HOTTTTTTT! Like burn your kindle to the ground HOT!!! It has everything! A story of strangers turned lovers, an age gap and undeniable chemistry, obsession, a stalker biker and so many emotions with healing and love!

The story follows Ledger and Sloane. He’s 30, she's 20. (I LOVE a good age gap) He is an over the top, obsessed, possessive, sweet, passionate, I could keep going with descriptive words! He owns a s$x club with his best friend and has never found the “one. Sloane has been through it. No confidence, manipulated her whole life, treated horribly by her parents and struggles with accepting she is lovable and deserves it! It's such a great story of both these characters learning how to love, facing their pasts, following their hearts. The passion, when I say it’s HOT, I don't think it’s even the right word to describe it! Their chemistry is just ridiculous how well they come together. The scenes, omgggggggggg🔥🔥🔥

There is also a great cast of friends and family that bring so much to this story!

This book had all the feels! I cried, I laughed, it makes you feel so much emotion. Nothing better than a man that will be vulnerable enough to openly cry with the emotions he feels! These two couldn't be more different but they came together so perfectly! The devil and the angel. I am diving right into my ARC for book 2, which is Margot and Jack’s story and I can't WAIT for this one! GO READ THIS BOOK! It’s so good!

I'm swooning so hard right now 💖

Her life was never hers. Every choice made for her, every word dismissed, every opinion silenced, every smile mocked, every dream crushed. Her happiness? Nothing but a joke to those who should have protected her. It wasn't hers. It was theirs to toy with 💔

Until he came along.

He was a man wrapped in secrets, yet none of that mattered when it came to her. He’d spill them all, break every rule, risk everything, and cross every line just to make her his 🖤

He saw her beautiful green eyes, the saddest gaze he had ever encountered. That single moment led to another, where they finally met. "The right eyes," he whispered, recognizing her instantly. He fell for her so badly, so completely, that he started envisioning a future with her - the warmth of her hand, the way her laugh would haunt him, the quiet moments that would tie their hearts together forever. A life he never dared imagine without her in it. She was his, even before she knew it 🖤

But not all love is easy. Obstacles rise, hearts are tested, secrets threaten, and every step toward each other feels like a battle they can't afford to lose 💔

A 5☆ read, and he's in her cage. She's in his... and trust me, this fight ends in sweat, gasps, and surrender. In the cage of desire, he doesn't hold back, and neither does she 🔥🙈

⚠️ Sure, we're obsessed with our bad boy biker, but this book explores heavy and intense themes that might be triggering to some readers. Read with care. Your mental health matters 🌼

ARC Review: Redeemed in Crimson by T.K. Drake

This is the first novel in the series and what a way to start! T.K. DrakeRedeemed in Crimson is a dark and addictive age-gap romance that mixes obsession, temptation, and redemption in a way that had me hooked from the very beginning. I devoured this book in less than 24 hours because I simply couldn't put it down. T.K. Drake dives head first into morally gray territory that added a 🌶️ level to this book that was 🔥💦.

Sloane is the picture of innocence living a quiet life being the dutiful daughter with no plans for anything beyond what her parents envision. Enter the tattooed, broken, and dangerous, motorcycle riding, baby boy her parents warned her about, Ledger Sinclair🫦. His obsession with her is giving all the red flags we love to ignore, you know the ones. The kind that make you lean in closer even when you know you should run the other way, as he slips fully into stalker mode.

Although, I have read darker romance books than this one, some of the themes here may be too dark or intense for other readers, so make sure you check the trigger warnings. If your like me and believe the more trigger warnings, the better, than this book will absolutely keep you intrigued.

Overall, if you enjoy morally gray heroes, obsession, and romance that toes the line between dangerous and tender, Redeemed in Crimson is one to add to your TBR. I can't wait to see what the next novel will be about.

Sloane’s life has been mapped out for her by her parents- go to the college they chose, go the church they chose, marry the boy they chose. She doesn’t get a say. But then she meets Ledger and every thing changes. Ledger is danger and sin and everything she should avoid. Plus, you know, he’s her stalker. But they cant stay away from each other. Sloane is all Ledger has ever wanted, before he even knew he wanted it and Ledger is exactly what Sloane needs to break from the expecting set on her. But can such opposites really work long term? Not to mention the age gap! Or will they crash and burn, destroying themselves and each other in the process?

Ok so this is the book that made me utter the words ‘technically he’s been stalking her but he’s been really cute about it and he’s not doing any harm. He’s actually so sweet with it!!’ I’m not even ashamed because not one word is a lie! Ledger is right up in the Book Boyfriend list. Yeah, Sloane annoyed me a bit with her jealousy and childishness but I had to keep in mind she was only 20 and incredibly sheltered her whole life. Was Ledger a bit much, renovating the house the same night he met her just so it was exactly what she wanted and planning a nursery? Yes probably but again- he did it in such a cute, sweet way I would forgive this man anything!! Overall, I loved every single second of this book and I can’t wait for more from this series!!

Ledger is the devil in disguise; he’s a billionaire, brutal in the ring, and utterly consumed the moment he locks eyes with Sloane. She’s the angel in his inferno, the light he wants to possess, protect, and ruin in equal measure. Ledger doesn’t just fall for Sloane, he implodes into her world with fists, fury, and filthy devotion.

Sloane is only 20, still shackled by her controlling parents and a sleazy boyfriend who treats her like a placeholder. But Ledger sees her as sacred. Untouchable. Until he touches her and then there’s no going back. He drags her into his world of underground fight rings and shadow-drenched sex clubs, but never without wrapping her in the kind of devotion that borders on madness.

This book is a fever dream of obsession, betrayal, and redemption. Ledger’s love is filthy, fierce, and all-consuming. He’s the kind of man who’d burn the world just to keep her warm. And Sloane? She learns that sometimes falling from grace means finally being free. Ledger makes her feel worthy, accepted, and loved.

The spice is unholy. The drama is relentless. And the love? It’s the kind that leaves scars in the absolute best way. If you love your romance with claws, chaos, and a man who’d burn the world for his angel, Redeemed in Crimson will leave you wrecked in the best way.

A huge thank you to T.K. Drake and Luna Literary for the early copy! It was a deliciously dark, emotional and addictive read!

Overall:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Redeemed in Crimson is exactly the kind of whack wild morally grey romance I live for: age-gap, obsession, virgin FMC, bad boy biker with a millionaire edge, family/faith issues that go deep. Sloane Johnson has spent her life doing what others wanted her to be—safe, quiet, obedient. Enter Ledger Sinclair with his tattoos, his night-club, his bad boy rep, and his capacity to call her an angel, renovate her house according to her taste, start building a life for her she never thought possible. He’s over-the-top, stalkerish in creepy-romantic ways, and for a girl who grew up with very strict rules about how to be, that level of intensity is terrifying and enticing all at once. Casting for the church play where she’s “Angel” and he’s “Satan” (idea courtesy of his mom) is a symbol of light and dark, innocence and sin because he, Ledger, is sin-ful devotion in so many ways. The relationship itself is rushed in some places, the lust burns, Ledger is unhinged with love (read Pinterest boards, hacks her phone, ex-boyfriends who must be evicted). But at every red flag is a moment of his care in small and big ways—in prayer, protection, acceptance from his family, blood and family ties, the wound of watching Sloane fight her own limits. It’s not for everyone, but it’s messy and messy in an extremely addictive way. I laughed, I gasped, I cringed, I swooned. This is dark romance done with fire.

If you like your MMCs OTT and unhinged, then this is the book for you! Redeemed in Crimson is the first novel in the Sinclair Affairs series and what a start it is! Sloane Johnson has lived her whole life under her parents watchful gazes. She never disobeys them, making her the perfect fit to be cast as the Angel in her local church play. Once Ledger Sinclair sets his eyes on Sloane he knows that she's the one for him. The tattooed, bad boy, s3x club owner quickly becomes obsessed with innocent Sloane. Casted to play Satan in the church play by his mother, Ledger grows more attached to Sloane and the connection between the two of them is undeniable.

For me, these two characters immediately fell in love. I enjoyed how obsessed Ledger was with Sloane and found their banter entertaining. The things that he does for this woman are impressive. The commitment and dedication that he has to her was 🙌. I liked seeing Sloane come out of her shell and blossom. I really enjoyed Blanche, Ledger's mom. She was the comic relief that I needed. She was their unexpected cupid which was cute. The spice in the book was high and crazy. There were some things that happened that blew my mind 🩸🤯. I can't wait to see what is in store for all the characters in the series!

Thank you to T.K. Drake and the Author Agency for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of Redeemed in Crimson.

𝙊𝙣𝙡𝙮 in the pages of a book can red flags look green—and wow, Ledger proves that point in the best way. My god, if you love an over-the-top obsessed man, you NEED him in your life. From the very first page, Sloane and Ledger’s connection is immediate and immense—we’re talking full-on insta love—and it works so well here.

What I loved most is how good they are for each other. They bring exactly what the other needs, helping to heal wounds both old and new. Ledger might look like a bad boy with all the tattoos, but deep down he’s a 𝘵𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘭 cinnamon roll who will melt your heart. At the same time, he sets Sloane’s life on fire in the absolute 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 way, giving her safety, space, and the confidence to explore her deepest desires.

The chemistry between them? Explosive. The angst? Sharp enough to cut. But the heart and healing? Absolutely glorious.

😇Innocent FMC
🖤He stalks her
🌶️Adult Club
🏍️Biker MMC
This book was one of the spiciest reads that I have read so far this year and I loved it! We have our innocent FMC and to appease her parents, she has agreed to go to this church (even though she doesn’t really go that often) and she is cast to be in the Christmas pageant as an angel, and guess who ends up being the devil in the pageant ? The super sexy, older biker that she saw just a little bit earlier. He is described as super tall, Viking-like, tattoos, very much a bad boy with a checkered past, oh and he also owns a smex club. Out innocent FMC is stalked by our sexy MMC and he pretty much gives her no choice, but to be his.
This was such a hot book! You have a complete sexual awakening for our FMC and if you were looking for something to get down and dirty with, this is definitely the book for you. I also liked all of the side characters. I want to know so much more about Ledger’s sister and also his best friend who was pretty much raised as his brother. We also have Ledger’s biological brother who we briefly meet in the club participating in some very interesting activities that I would love to hear more about.
I can’t wait for the next one.

4,5 rounded up to 5 stars because of how unhinged Ledger was. The two Es in 'obsessed' definitely belonged to Ledger. Just read and you know what I am talking about.

What made this book missing the half star to be a perfect 5 stars was because of the plots slash the dramas. Gosh, they were so cringey for me. I hated that Sloane was often childish and couldn't stand up for herself. Her being immature actually understandable because of her age and the outcome of her parents failed parenting, but still I couldn't let it go. Hence, the missing half star.

I loved the found family trope in this book. I especially loved Blanche. I hope I could be a cool mom like her. Also can't wait for the next book because the couple have been throwing clues throughout this book everytime they were in the same scenes.

The spicy was definitely spicing. So freaking spicy it was blowing hot fire. Please read the trigger warnings because some of the sex scenes might be not for everyone.

I said it already but I will say it again. Ledger was so unhinged. He was beyond obsessed with Sloane. It was actually funny how obsessed he was with her. I actually laughed so many times because of his antics. I loved him so much.

Tropes: breaking kink, stalking, sex club, virgin FMC, obsessed MMC, age gap, insta-love, period play

Sloane has always been the “good girl,” living by her parents’ rules and dating the man they approved of. Until one night she locks eyes with Ledger, a Viking-like biker who instantly changes everything. Obsessed from the moment he sees her, Ledger hacks her phone, installs cameras and remodels his home to match her taste. He’s possessive, relentless and determined to make her his, even if it means rewriting every rule Sloane has lived by.

Ledger is that rare mix of golden retriever devotion and unhinged obsession. Every extreme thing he does is about making Sloane happy, and when they’re together, the sparks are electric. The spice is scorching. Ledger’s filthy mouth and Sloane’s willingness to surrender make for scenes that are hot, raw and addictive.

The third-act breakup didn’t land as hard for me, but the reunion more than made up for it. When Ledger begged her to leave because he wanted her too much, and she simply said “Hurt me”—it sealed him as one of the most memorable MMCs I’ve read in a while. A steamy, intense romance that kept me hooked and I’m keen to see what comes next with Jack’s story.

To go with my earlier teaser, he’s my review-

Redeemed in Crimson by T.K Drake is an age gap, stalker, biker MMC, instalove romance. It’s book one in the Sinclair Affairs series.

Sloane has led a fairly sheltered life, her religious parents control every aspect of her life including her poor excuse for a boyfriend Dean. When she meets Ledger her entire life changes…

Sex club owner Ledger is out on his motorcycle when he catches a glimpse of the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, after bumping into her again at his mother’s church play he becomes obsessed with her, now he’s found her nothing will stand in his way of making her his.

This book was great, who doesn’t enjoy some romantic stalking?! Ledger was crazy, he saw Sloane and decided she was his, he stalked her, sent her gifts, hacked her phone, the list goes on. He was brilliant! I ate this up, I love an unhinged MMC and Ledger was definitely unhinged. He was obsessed with Sloane but oh did he love her.

If you’re fan of instalove, a obsessive and possessive MMC and approximately 90% spice this definitely one for your TBR. I love this sort of book, not too sickly sweet but not too dark.

4/5⭐️

So many tropes and they check all the boxes!

Over the top, unhinged... that's the mood for August and Ledger totally fits the bill as he becomes obsessed with good girl Sloane. Dear, sweet Sloane who never steps out of line and always listens to her parents until she meets s3x club owner Ledger.

You wouldn't think being cast in a Christmas pageant at a church would somehow lead you to an instalove, over the top, spicy, and unhinged relationship, but that's exactly what happened here. Are you hooked yet? Good, you absolutely should be.

And the spice... there's so much spice. I'm not complaining. Some days, you just need and want a lot of spice. Bad boy breaks the good girl out of her shell in so many different ways.

Dark romance

This is the first book in the Sinclair Affairs series and it follows Ledger & Sloane’s love story.

I really enjoyed this book! Insta-love is one of my least favourite book tropes but Redeemed in Crimson was done so well and I loved it. Ledger and Sloane’s connection was so intense but in the best way.

I haven’t read a dark romance book for a while and this book reminded me why I love the genre. It was so much fun, and it gave me Haunting Adeline and Kill Switch vibes.
This book will be perfect to read in the upcoming spooky months I feel 🎃

The things I disliked about this book were Sloane’s parents and Dean. They were absolute trash and my feels against them were so strong. Every time Ledger would speak out against them, it would give me a bit of joy. However, this makes me love RiC even more because of the strong feelings it made me feel.

This book’s written incredibly well and I read it all in one day and it was so fun! I’d recommend 100% 🤍

This is my first book by this author and for the most part I liked it. I didn’t care for Sloane, I think it’s unfair to task a new person with the crimes of the old. I kept forgetting she was only 20 and Ledger was 30. The plot was kind of all over the place and I don’t really know what this book was supposed to be about. Also, trigger warning should’ve included cum retrieval, there was a lot of it and those who are uncomfortable with it may not want to read this book. I wanted to gag several times because I just find it repulsive. The next book in the series will follow Margo which anyone in the book can find out with all the Easter eggs the author layed out. Also, randomly at the end the “daddy kink” came in, it was so awkward. I guess I expected more for this story, him being a biker became an afterthought. Also, he’s considered morally gray and I struggled to find out why. I’d read another book by this author but I would not read this one again, I’m hesitant to continue the series.

I just love a golden retriever mmc in a dark romance. You can't help but love Ledger. Especially going through his inner monologues right after he meets Sloane. I don't usually like the reformed playboy trope but this was done so well. You never once questioned his loyalty. And thank god cause I was rooting for his crazy self the whole time.
Even with the levity of the joking and how their relationship started. Both character had emotional depth and trauma to work through for their HEA.

I loved the foreshadowing to the next book being Margot and Jack. Cheers to book 2!

Thank you T. K. Drake and the Author Agency for the eARC of this book!

Sloane and Ledger

I don’t have any words to describe this book. This is a masterpiece for me. Gosh can I have Ledger for myself. He’s perfect book boyfriend. The way this book was written. From starting it intrigued me and I had to finish this book without catching any sleep. The spice of this book was spicing 🥵. I’ve really enjoyed this book and I’m gonna re read this one again.

Read trigger warning before starting this book cause there’s few things might be not for everyone.

Can’t wait for the next one.
