The Sin Trilogy is now available in a single volume.
A NECESSARY SIN: I’ve watched him from afar for years. And he has no idea. I take joy in that.
Through my observations, I’ve learned what makes this charming villain tick. Whisky. Power. Beautiful women. And Sex. Lots of it.
Sometimes you must get into bed with the enemy for the greater good. And that’s what I’ll do; it’s all part of making Sinclair Breckenridge fall in love with me so I can penetrate his inner circle.
There’s hell to pay. I’m a dark horse. The perfect storm. I am Bleu MacAllister. And I’m coming for him.
THE NEXT SIN: I’ve watched her from afar for weeks. And she has no idea.
Bleu MacAllister ran from me three months ago. She thought she could disappear from my life. My beloved believed I’d let her go. Wrong.
Bleu says I won’t find her; she changes like a chameleon. Wrong, again. Some things remain unaltered. She’s still beautiful. Sexy as hell. And I want her more than my next breath.
The circumstances bringing us together have changed. It’s a precarious situation because my bonny lass is a hunted traitor. But I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
She will be my wife. I am Sinclair Breckenridge. And I’m coming for her.
ONE LAST SIN: Sinclair Breckenridge is my husband. We’re up and coming leaders to The Fellowship and parents to be. But my new life doesn’t come easily. Not when long buried secrets––and far more than I bargained for––finally reveal my mother’s killer.
Sin vows to do anything to keep our little ones and me safe, even if his promise means denying me of the one thing I want most in this world. He doesn’t understand it’s the death of my dream. And that’s a problem.
Georgia Cates is a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author—and a former labor and delivery nurse who now delivers swoony love stories instead of babies. A lifelong reader and proud cat wrangler of three, she writes romance with heart, heat, and a dash of Southern charm. Originally from rural Mississippi, she’s married to her best friend and is the proud mom of two amazing daughters.
Holy Moly!!The Sin Trilogy is a series that will have you hooked from the very beginning. I found myself sucked into this story right from the powerful, intriguing prologue and was held captive beyond the last page, leaving me hungry for more.
I did not know what to expect when I started to read A Necessary Sin and I even less expected the story to take place in Scotland where I live. For me, this made the story of Bleu and Sin even more real and relatable ( if this is possible). I knew the places they were visiting, the restaurant they went to, the Scottish slang…I have never read a story that not only was flawless but was also so close to home.
This series has mystery, intensity, passion and heartbreak and once you start reading you won’t be able to stop! It is an unexpected love story that comes from tragedy- Sin and Bonny
Sinclair is the strong ALPHA who does as he wishes with anyone, anytime and anywhere. But as we get to know more Sin, we discover that he is more than the typical alpha, he is a complex character, a total control freak, trusting no-one. He keeps everything close to his chest, making him extremely mysterious and has a dark intensity to him.
Bleu lost her mum in horrific and traumatic circumstances that consumed her, as she was growing up. Her only reason in life is to seek revenge- This drive and passion made Bleu a very strong female characters who is talented, intelligent, skilled and determined to enter the Fellowship.
“Just as a rose is unable to change its color, it isn’t possible for us to alter the past. It’s only once you realize this that you’ll be set free. “
What happens when you hate someone and love them at the same time?
“What I want is for us to fade into each other until we can’t tell where one begins and the other ends.”
The Series is well written and descriptive and I always felt that I was there right along with Georgia Cates characters. Every single book is remarkable, fabulous, breathtaking and outrageously spectacular that they will leave your head spinning.
I loved the characters, the pacing and the twist.
“Bonny will never be just another woman to me. She’s my life. My love. My heart. My everything. Always.”
As one Scot would say, this series was pure dead brilliant! Arc kindly provided by the publisher for an honest review.
The Sin trilogy ends at 67% of this set. The rest is chapters from this aurora other books. See my individual review for all three books under each book.
An epic series packed with heat, action and momentous romance...
Holy mother of everything that's holy. I am addicted, truly and utterly dependant on this series. I'm a massive fan of Georgia Cates—from the moment that I read Indulge I have been hooked on this pretty lady's words and then when I read Dear Agony I just knew that there was no questioning that she has a special talent. She has a way of making her words so much more. I have gone through most of her repertoire and it is shamefully that I have to admit that I didn't actually pick up The Sin Trilogy until Unintended came up for review. I'm so disappointed with myself because I can see this being one of those series I keep going back to time and again.
The Sin Trilogy itself centres around Sinclair and Bleu. These first three books are the foundation for the series which now includes two spin-offs— Endurance and Unintended. These two books revolve around Ellison and Jamie (Bleu's sister and Sin's best-mate and cousin) and Westlyn and Keiran (Jamie's sister and the leader of a rival syndicate). I'm getting so excited just thinking about these books that it's quite possible that none of this will make any logical sense. I'm really sorry for that, but you have to understand that once you start this series there's no going back. You will spend every waking moment wanting more and needing the next book. The anticipation that consumes you whilst waiting for the next book will probably give you heartburn and panic attacks. There is only one certain thing, one guarantee and that's that there will never be enough of this series.
All the books are centred around The Fellowship. A Scottish syndicate of which Sinclair Breckenridge is heir to the leadership. Books 1-3 (A Necessary Sin, The Next Sin and One Last Sin) very much focus on Sinclair's (Sin) and Bleu's love story that becomes intricately tangled with his rise within the syndicate and her struggle as an outsider. I absolutely loved their story, it was sweet, tempestuous and full of the unexpected. Both of the cliffhangers between the books left me on tenterhooks and filled with trepidation. I have to admit that both times I was taken aback by them. I'm not saying that I didn't see them coming, well— the end of A Necessary Sin left me a little bug eyed, I was expecting something a little different. I found myself navigating from one book to the next without a breathing break. Ms. Cates did something to me that left me hanging on her every precious and brilliant word. She had me second guessing my every thought and expectation. There were certain moments when I expected certain big, life changing surprises and I was left slack jawed when something that wasn't even an inkling in my mind happened. This is very much something that I loved about this series. Expecting the unexpected didn't prepare me in any way for all the twists and turns that Sin's and Bleu's journey took. You have this gorgeous element of instant attraction that flourishes into a life changing compulsion and then morphs into brilliant and blinding love. Saying that, there isn't a moment where either Sin or Bleu bury their heads in the sand about what their relationship means, and what made me really love them was that despite the outlook being bleary, they were both determined to push one another so that they could deliver on every promise that they had of being monumental.
This series has such a knack for taking raw and flawed characters and polishing them not so that all the flaws are erased, but so that they are magnified and in doing so they become the perfectly imperfect characters that worm their way into your heart and set-up fort. These characters' flaws are what makes them strong and defined... grounded even. But this isn't just a character development thing. The plot itself is so raw and the whole criminal organisation element is so wrong. Well, it should be, but you find yourself becoming a part of that family and rooting for them. Georgia Cates has really done something special with these characters. They make you see the beauty in the ugly. They are a beacon of hope in a dark and sinister world. And, just when you think you've seen it all, felt it all, experienced it all in the The Sin Trilogy, the standalones take it all to whole new level.
I don't now how she managed to breath new life into Ellison and Jamie's story. By all means Endurance should in many ways be a clone of Sin's and Bleu's story, but Ms. Cates completely surprised me with fresh twists and a plot that is singular and in itself unforgettable and awing...majestic. After everything that happens in the first three books and how it impacts both Jamie and Elli— their involvement in each others' circumstance through Sin and Bleu by all means should dim their attraction, put a spanner in the works so to say, but if anything it almost makes their connection stronger even if the bridge between them is at times precarious. I have to admit that I love these two. Not only because it gives the whole Doctor and Nurse play a whole new meaning for me, but because they have this splendid and momentous story.
Again, when it came to Unintended I was completely blown out of the water. Again, this story is very fitting with Sin and Bleu's own, however somehow Georgia Cates managed to weave some delicious cheese into the romance which coupled with a brute and super alpha hero and his innocent and yielding heroine made this book unputdownable. This plot is just fabulous, as Shaggy would say— boombastic fantastic! I loved that Wes is in many ways the polar opposite to Bleu and Ellison. You can tell that she has been raised in the syndicate lifestyle where traditionally women are submissive, however that doesn't make her a doormat. I like that when the poop hits the fan she is more than happy get her spade and dig herself out of it. At the same time I love that it doesn't get in the way of Kieran saving her. This is very much a damsel in distress and dark knight in a bulletproof vest romance... I love that despite Kieran's role as assassin does't compromise his conscience. To be honest I loved this about Sin. He was the ruthless leader that still had a conscience. I know I'm not a spoiler girl, but there was one part of this book that still has me laughing and cringing at the same time. I think nI actually blushed when Torri, Wes' mother, walks in on a bit of cowgirl action. It actually made me laugh so hard I may have peed myself a little!
All in all, The Sin series is very much an epic, monumental read. It has all the murkiness and volatility of a mafia romance whilst at the same time having that familial aspect that MC romances possess. Just to be clear this is NOT an MC romance, far from it, it just has an element of the feels that you get from one. Also, can I just say that I'm not really a massive Scottish accent fan, but these men REALLY did it for me. I feel like I need to pay Scotland a proper visit just to make sure that I haven't been overlooking the Scott's men all this time because holly hell they are in a league of their own! I never thought I'd say this, I hope that my Englishness doesn't take a hit, but if it does... I'll take it! Anywho, back to the series— if there is one thing that I want to convey here it's that this is one of those series that you simply HAVE to read. Not just because the plots are phenomenal, but because the characters are inescapable, unforgettable and delicious. I really cannot wait for Lorna and Leith's story in Redemption, and I also really, really...REALLY want Shaw's story. Oh, and Evanna's! Basically, I just never EVER want this series to end!
I really loved this trilogy and seriously it was 4 books for only $1.99... Can't beat that with a stick!!
A Necessary Sin
Bleu MacAllister has been preparing her whole life for the moment when she can avenge her mother's life and the attempted murder made on her when she was a child. She has trained with her father and the police and the FBI all to infiltrate The Fellowship/Brotherhood. A crime organization Scotland. Sinclair Breckinridge is her mark. She will seduce him and worm her way in so she can kill his father.
I LOVED THIS STORY!! I loved watching Sin and Bleu fall in love. Because despite her mission and her need for revenge and justice, she couldn't help but fall helplessly in love with Sin.
The Next Sin Book 2
When Sin finds out that Bleu is not exactly who she says she is, she runs at the end of the last book. In book 2 Sin finds her and vows to keep her safe from the Brotherhood.
One Last Sin Book 3
This book picks up with Bleu kidnapped and Sin being carted off to jail on his way to save her. It's the last book in the series and its all about them fighting their enemies, within the brotherhood and from without. Also its about Sin stepping up and taking over the brotherhood while managing married life. Again loved this series.
Omg, where do I even begin with such a freaking amazing trilogy. Sinclair "sin" is so damn hot for words, he is definitely my book hubby of all time. This book starts out heavy with blue, her story is a tough one and you can't help but admire her strength. She's on a quest that has shaped her into a strong and determined women, but as the story goes on we can't always help the things that happen to us, and bleu is in for an awakening of what fate already has in-store for her, and it not exactly her goal, But oh is it oh so good. Sin an his love for bleu is so delicious, I swear this man made me so utterly hot and bothered I could barely put this book down, I was a junky ready for a my sin fix. This book had everything I love and needed in a good read. Sexy man, super strong women, suspense that kept me on the edge of my bed "literally", and a deep love that just made me have to fan myself. The other characters surrounding the main ones were also i big yes for me as well. I honestly can't wait to read the next in the fellowship. This is a new author to me, and with just reading this book I'm in deep, lol, Georgia Cates thank you for doing what you do best.
It was a good book. But I couldn't develop a real connection to the protagonists. The dialogues were too clinical between the main characters, even the sex scenes felt closed off and sometimes even robotically. Despite romantically expressions it lacked of passion and deep feelings. I can understand and relate to it as part was due to the character personalities but it felt off and left me dissatisfied. Although the storyline, setup and people and their developments were great.
Nope. God I'm tired of boring books. So many things wrong here. First of all I just don't believe it. Nothing the h claims comes across as true. Second, there's is way to much telling instead of showing.
This trilogy was really good. It was exactly the kind of story I hoped it would be. Fast-paced, suspenseful, action-packed, steamy and not overly dark, it geared more towards romantic suspense than gritty mob story. I found the heroine, Bleu Mac Allister, very refreshing and badass. Her mother was murdered and she has hunted her presumed murderer, Thane Breckenridge, with the intention of exacting revenge and executing him. She intends to infiltrate his criminal organization, The Fellowship, and penetrate the Breckenridge’s inner circle. She is a former FBI special agent, with enough experience to execute her revenge plot.
Thane’s son, Sinclair “Sin” Breckenridge is her target. He will be collateral damage in her plan to make him fall in love with her. Sin is brooding, intense, self-centered and dangerous. He is very alpha and oozes sex appeal. As the heir of one the most powerful crime families in Scotland, he lives a life of power and danger, on the wrong side of the law. He trusts no one until they have proven themselves trustworthy.
Georgia Cates weaves a web so deep and complex that you can’t figure what is going to happen next. Bleu is confused by her attraction to Sin, he is a killer. It is absolutely not part of her plan, but she can’t keep him at arm’s length. I loved watching these two characters fall for each other against their better judgement. It seems that the man Bleu stalked for years is not the man she loves, despite his dirty deeds. She can’t hate him and she can’t live without him.
Bleu has become a target amid tensions with a rival organization that has the habit of lashing out against The Fellowship through the women. Sin thrives on control, but around Bleu he has none. In the end, the essence of this book is what we all ultimately love, a hot and sexy hero, who is desperately in love and can't think of anything else other than to worship and protect his woman from everything and everyone. Bleu and Sin’s smoldering romance combines intense passion with intrigue and danger in a fast-paced and enjoyable story. I received a copy of this book from the author.
This is a captivating romance and love story. Sin/Blue grab your attention and keep you connected to them. The chemistry between sin/Blue is palpable. I love their dialogue, their bond, and their total connection to each other. I love the plots and subplots of this book and how the characters connect and relate to each other. This book touches different emotions, anger, it makes you cry, laugh, feel loss and pain. We see the loyalty of the Brotherhood and Family. How vengeance and justice are handed down to get closure to begin healing. Sin/Bleu find their HEA. I anticipate reading the other books in the Sin series. The second book Beauty was an amazing story of secrets, finding an unexpected bond and connection when you least expected it. Realizing love to late. I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series to see what happens next. I recommend reading both of these series.
Overall, this was an interesting, engaging story. I can't imagine how Bleu grew up. I mean she had a great relationship with her adoptive father, but to have survived hearing your mom murdered and then your own attempted murder at the age of seven... awful! I was glad, once Bleu's plan for revenge was in place, that she developed an open mind about who might have been responsible. If she hadn't fallen so hard for Sin and seen how his father reacted to her existence, she might not have realized it wasn't Sin's dad and taken out the wrong person. For a long time, I really thought . I wasn't exactly happy to find out that wasn't true, because that meant there was someone else. But so much happened over the course of the three books. I probably would have been better off reviewing each one as I finished, so I wouldn't forget things. But I didn't. Still, my general overall impression of this series was good, and I kept reading to see what would happen next. If I'm completely honest, I started losing interest right before Bleu , but I'm still interested enough in what might happen between her sister and Jamie to want to pick up the next one.
This series of books was so much more than I was expecting. It was referenced in something I read so I picked it up to check it out my self. The first few chapters were ok, but then.....pow, I couldn't stop reading. Sin is awesome! I love alpha males (or wolf as Bleu would say) that are multidimensional. Bleu has a story that would make an awesome book by itself, but add Sin in and focus on their love story and, wow, you will be blown away. I immediately read the #4 book and am waiting, impatiently, for more stories from my new 'Scottish family'. I'm not a huge fan of mafia type bad boy stories, but I love this one by Georgia Cates. Bravo! I also got my new favorite drink, a rusty nail, from it so double win!
I really enjoyed this series I was hooked from start to finish. It was suspenseful with romance, action and intrigue, and some laughable moments. Sinclair Breckenridge was a hot alpha male, but wasn't over the top alpha at least not with Bleu McAllister.
I loved Bleu's character she was a kick butt tough as nails take no crap former FBI agent. Sinclair was a defense attorney and upcoming leader in the brotherhood of an Irish Fellowship in Edinburgh Scotland.
I thought the characters worked really well together, and the romance was super hot. Even the secondary characters fit right into the story. This was my first read from this author. I will be reading more from her. Give it a go you won't be disappointed. Kim L ~ Wonderful World of Books
This is a fantastic trilogy. All three books together in one set. The story continues through each book. Each book has is gripping, action packed and hot and steamy. The cliff hanger ending on each book, I'm so glad I had all three books. This is such a gripping story, I just couldn't put them down till I'd finished. This book will definitely leave you with a book hangover. The characters were so well written even the secondary characters added so much to the story. This author has a fantastic way of bringing you amazing characters mixed with such a captivating story. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future. highly recommended I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book
This review is from: The Sin Trilogy Bundle: A Necessary Sin, The Next Sin, One Last Sin (Kindle Edition) Best series I ever read!! This book is a must read trilogy it will keep you on your toes!! I was not able to take a break from reading this fantastic book, lots of actions and each characters bring a strong element to the story!! I'm telling you if you haven't not read any of Georgia Cates books don't think about it twice hit download and start reading the book, trust me you won't regret!! Five stars is not even close enough to what this book should be rated!!! It passed to another level of loyalty, friendship and love!!
I absolutely loved these books,everything down to last detail was perfect. As someone from Scotland it's so different to read a book with "Scottish slang" in it. I never expected Bleu to fall in love with sin,as she was so determined to find her mother's killer and kill him. But the charm of the Scottish got to her and she fell for him. There is lots and lots more to these books so you have to read them.
This story line grabbed me right from the start with its intentions of a revengeful child who wishes to right a wrong for a beloved mother. You’re instantly intrigued by the brash Scottish men in power. I like how you are guided through the chapters gaining more knowledge of each character but still dangled bits and pieces keep you guessing. You’ll fall for the bad as well as the good guys.
The best trilogy. Never a dull moment with these books. Just when you think you have solved it and think you know who's the villain, a new twist is put in your path. I could not put these stories down just had to finish reading to the end. A very well written romantic love story. Highly recommend this trilogy.
Love the characters, plot, and writing style!! The author weaves a rich story full of loyalty, love, revenge, betrayal and mystery. It is the perfect combination of erotic and suspense. Do yourself a favor and binge read these books. 5+ Stars!
I loved the sun trilogy so much gripping action and the story between Blue & Sin was fantastic.I loved reading every thing going on with them. Can't wait for Lief & Lorna story now
It's a 5 + . First time reading Georgia cates and will definitely read her other books. It had some grammatical errors . But not worth giving a good review. I would recommend anyone into mafia romance to buy it.
Lost interest about page 300 no true feelings vibe no passion too cold heroine and too easy love from what supposed to be a leader of bad people 🙄can't believe them and I wonder what's all 5star about ? Maybe only story was good but destroyed it by how she write it
This bundle within the Sin series was beyond exceptional! Oh my, it was unbelievably great! I absolutely FLOVE the main characters AND the multiple secondary ones as well! Sin and Bleu are so in sync with each other that I can hardly get over it. And Sin’s parents or Jamie and Ellison? Wow!! If you only read a few authors - Miss Georgia Cates is one of those few you must read. It will be well worth your time!!
Great book couldn’t put it down, so many things happening. I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as I have. Sin is swoon worthy and his relationship with Bleu had me liking him even more. The ending was not what I expected but what a lovely happy ending.
I love this series soo much!! Sin and Bleu are a 4 alarm fire! Bleu is one of my all time favorite heroines. I love how strong she is and how she gives Sin hell.
