I fled my stepfather, stepbrother, and their boyfriend in the dead of night, abandoning the unholy thing we'd become. But you can't outrun desire. My body still remembers their hands, their heat, the way they made me theirs in the darkness.
Now I'm back, wearing a nun's habit and running the church's parole program. The devil must be laughing, because my inmates are the two men I betrayed, plus the dangerous third they've claimed.
They think I betrayed them.
They want penance. And they know exactly how to make me pay.
By day, I'm Sister Zenaya–their warden, untouchable behind holy walls. By night, three masked men hunt me through the woods, pinning me to trees and altars, forcing me to my knees. They make me surrender my vows, or discover how sinful salvation can be.
They're marking me. Ruining me.
And God help me—I'm starting to crave my own damnation.
Alright… this book didn’t just knock on the church doors, it kicked them in, set the confessional on fire, and whispered “forgive me daddy” on the way out 🔥⛪️
Sinful Little Nun is… chaos. Pure, unholy, goblin-on-energy-drinks chaos.
We’ve got: A father who said “celibacy? never met her” A son who said “I’ll take notes” AND a boyfriend who said “room for one more?”
And then there’s the nun… standing there like a sacrificial cupcake while EVERYONE lines up like it’s a morally questionable buffet.
It’s dark. It’s depraved. It’s the kind of book that makes you pause mid-page and go, “am I… okay with this? …yeah okay keep going.”
BUT LISTEN.
THE PIG’S BLOOD.
AS LUBE.
I— My soul left my body, filed a complaint, and is still waiting for a response. My face scrunched so violently I nearly evolved into a raisin. That scene lives rent-free in my head and it’s redecorating.
And yet…
I devoured this in a single day like a gremlin in a blackout. No thoughts. Just vibes. Questionable vibes. Sinful vibes.
Now my brain is doing Olympic laps around a haunted church while ringing a bell screaming “WHAT DID WE JUST READ?!”
Would I recommend it? If you like your books unhinged, morally bankrupt, and one step away from summoning something… absolutely
Sinful Little Nun is the kind of dark romance that grabs your rosary beads, snaps them in half, and dares you to pray for forgiveness afterward.
From the very first page, this story is steeped in guilt, desire, and the kind of tension that feels both forbidden and impossible to resist. Zenaya is a heroine caught between two worlds her faith and the all consuming pull of the men she tried so desperately to leave behind. Her return to the church should have been a fresh start, but instead it becomes a reckoning with the very desires she thought she had buried.
And what a reckoning it is.
The setup is absolutely irresistible: a woman hiding behind a nun’s habit, a parole program that places her directly in the path of the three men who still consider her theirs, and a simmering mix of betrayal, longing, and unresolved hurt. Every encounter crackles with intensity, and the emotional stakes are just as compelling as the taboo premise.
What makes this book so addictive is the push and pull between punishment and forgiveness. The men are wounded, possessive, and determined to make Zenaya confront what happened between them, while Zenaya herself is torn between resisting them and surrendering to the connection she never truly escaped.
Beneath all the dark allure and masked mystery is a story about trust, guilt, and the question of whether redemption can coexist with desire. The religious imagery and themes of sin and salvation add an extra layer of atmosphere that makes everything feel even more dramatic and emotionally charged.
Sinful Little Nun doesn’t ask permission. It dropkicks the chapel doors, torches the confessional, and moans “bless me” through the smoke.
From the first line it’s pure sacrilege: guilt tangled with heat, tension so forbidden your rosary might actually catch fire. Zenaya thought a habit would hide her past. Cute. She ends up right back in the orbit of three men who’ve been carving her name into their sins. Every encounter is a holy war between run and kneel.
This thing is deranged. Unholy. Feral-raccoon-in-a-liquor-store energy. The church aesthetic isn’t just set dressing — it turns every whispered sin into a threat and a promise. Dark, fast, messy, and morally corrupt in the best way. You’ll catch yourself muttering “I should not be this into this” while your finger swipes the next page like it’s possessed. The tug-of-war between redemption and ruin? Brutal. The spice? Blasphemous.
Heads up: one scene made my soul attempt an out-of-body exit and my entire face fold like week-old laundry. I’m still haunted. Still obsessed.
I devoured this in one sitting, no brain cells, just unhinged chaos, bad decisions and wondering how deranged my brain must be.
Forgive me Father, because I’d absolutely commit this sin again and again.

Sinful Little Nun was dark, addictive, emotionally chaotic, and impossible to put down. Samantha Barrett has a talent for creating morally gray relationships that feel both toxic and deeply emotional at the same time.
The atmosphere in this book was incredible, holy guilt mixed with obsession, betrayal, temptation, and dangerous devotion. Zenaya’s emotional conflict added so much depth beneath the spice, and the chemistry with the masked men was absolutely next level.
Also, seeing familiar characters reappear throughout the story made the world feel even more immersive. Samantha Barrett truly created her own sinful universe at this point.
This book was such an incredible read that I found myself completely engrossed from the very first page. You are introduced to Naya, Korbin, Davin, and Braxton, each with a complex history. Naya grapples with her faith as the men from her past resurface, each bringing their own form of justice and stirring desires she ought to resist. As secrets, lies, and betrayals come to light, Naya reveals her own transgressions. Four years later, after seeking refuge in the church, she returns to the town she once fled, now serving as the nun for the local parish until a new priest is appointed. Her mission is to oversee a new rehabilitation program for inmates, unaware that Braxton and Koby will be her first charges!
Zenaya takes over the church when father Van Pierce leaves. One day she hears a voice she thought she’d never here again. Davin is her stepbrother Korbin’s boyfriend , he walks into the church and announces to her that her step brother and stepdad Braxton will be joining a program for the church. They were in prison for four years and blame her for sending them away. Now they want revenge. She’s sitting in the church steps and hears someone crying for help in the woods. Little does she knows when she gets there , she finds three men wearing devil masks n robes. Hmmm I wonder who they can be lol. Now things start to get nasty. Loved this book.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Yeh!! Another great instalment in the Malevolent Sinners series. My only complaint is this smutty, hot, sinful read was not long enough!! Zanaya ran before her lovers could be hurt, but it wasn't enough and her Step Father Braxton and Step Brother Koby were put in prison! Four years later, having sought the solace of the church, she returns to the town that she ran from as the nun for the local parish until a new Priest could be appointed. She was there to run the new rehab program for inmates, not knowing that Braxton and Koby would be her first charges! A fast paced story, as Braxton, Koby and Davin seek revenge on the woman that ruined their lives for four years. Separating the lovers due to lies being told! Being a nun does not stop you having sinful desires, as Davin threatens her for her lies and betrayal towards them!
Please forgive me, Father, I don’t think this role is for me and if the three of them are back together, I fear I won’t survive. They are going to ruin me for what I did.
And ruin her they did!! As much smut as one can indulge in whilst reading this sinfully dark romance in one sitting! Masked strangers in the woods, taking what they want from their sinful little nun! And when you read the intro to this book, you will realise how true those words are!! This book is HOT!!
"Be a good little sinner and hold this book in one hand while you play with that p*ssy like a good little girl with the other"…
Yeppers an addictive read and like all of Samantha Barrett's book leaves you longing for more!
Sinful Little Nun was dark, addictive, and impossible to put down. Samantha Barrett perfectly blends taboo romance, revenge, and obsession into a fast-paced story full of tension and intense chemistry. The religious themes and masked men added such a twisted, atmospheric vibe that kept me hooked the entire time.
Zenaya’s emotional conflict made the story even more compelling, and the spice was definitely next level, Overall this was a super entertaining dark romance that delivered exactly what it promised.
Zenaya thought she was doing the right thing and ran away 4 years ago but now she is back and there is hell to pay. She thought running away would make everything better but only made everything worse. Now her Step father, step brother, and his boyfriend want her to repent.
Sinful Little Nun is just that, SINFUL! This is a short, fast-paced, dark, forbidden, second chance journey. Zanaya, her step father Braxton, step brother Koby and Davin come back together when Zanaya leasts expects it. They take us on a journey of revenge, manipulation, angst and some deliciously spicy moments. It's a fantastic addition to the Malevolent Sinners. Forgive me Father for I have sinned, in the very best way.
I loved this! It's Zenaya & her guys' story & it was all you could expect & more! There're some things that happened; assumptions & mistakes were made. When they reconnect with her, it's with vengeance on their minds. But none of them can resist the pull & all realizes they still have deep feeling for each other. Secrets come to light & betrayals are revealed. The spice was absolutely filthy!! Recommend this novella & author!!
This was such a great read, that once I started I was hooked and there was no putting it down. This book moves along at a pace that is perfect for the way that the story moves. It has characters that no matter what, you will love and you want to be there for them. This book does not disappoint. It is a must read that needs to be at the top of your TBR list, there is no doubt about it. This book screams to be read.
"Father, please turn a blind eye to the events of this evening. I must sin in order to win."
♡Sam really said "Let me convince you sinners to go to church..." This was a quick & filthy why choose dark romance filled with obsessesion, some family bonding & of course sinful revenge. I can't wait to see what comes next!♡
Sinful Little Nun is book five in the Malevolent Sinners series and this taboo, dark and dirty little tale definitely lives up to its title. This fast paced story can be read as a standalone within this series and holds nothing back so be prepared to jump straight into scenes that are off the spice chart filled with masked men and a nun that does way more than pray!!! If you like short and sinful stories on the darker side then you should check out this series!!!
No matter what she was going to become or do Naya, couldn’t out run or forget her very hot and lets forbidden past with Korbin, Davin, and Braxton. Step dad, step brother and their lover. Becoming a nun, they believing she has betrayed them… the drama, angst and steam roles off the pages. Now their warden Naya has no chance, the men want revenge and it will burn your toes. The secrets, lies, and betrayals all come to light. What will win revenge, steam or forgiveness and pure heat.
A lot of sin is happening with a nun, stepbrother, step-dad and friend. Misunderstanding is an understatement. 3 masked men have their way with a nun. They know her and want to punish her for something she had no control over. This is a short, sinful and hot read. Never disappointed with Samantha Barrett books. Short or long, doesn't matter.
Sinful Little Nun by Samantha Barrett had me hooked from the start 😮💨 I absolutely loved the taboo romance and how addictive the whole story was. These shorter books keep my attention so well and make it impossible to stop reading “just one more chapter.” Now I’m counting down the days until Chase Me Daddy because I already know I’m going to devour it
Sinful Little Nun by Samantha Barrett is the story of Zenaya. She’s a nun and works with inmates to help them through their paroles. But, she has left her life behind. There are things happening around her that she can’t control and excite her…but, she can never admit it.
This was a fast read…and is yet another Why Choose story from this author. Good read…but, predictable! 3.5 stars
This is a quick steamy read in the Malevolent Sinners series. Zanaya is set to run a rehab program not realizing who she works run into. Braxton, Kobe, and Daven. Masked men are always a plus! I definitely recommend this scorching hot book!
If you have yet to read anything by Samantha you’re missing out. The dedication will always start the chokeholds and the acknowledgements are def something you don’t want to miss
Are you into nuns or been curious? Well here you go and I promise you won’t be disappointed
I could not put this book down! If you want a book you need to read with one hand then this is the book for you! Absolutely can’t wait to see what Sam writes next!
Another quick read with smut, mask men, three men, a nun, and past that wasn't they fault. I love seeing other people from this series and how they all work together in different ways.
