Sinners
Not all who wander are lost...
Tabitha LeClaire searches the kink clubs in San Francisco for the Dom who can push her limits, yet still appreciate the finer points of manners and grace, which she's worked so hard to master. When a friend introduces her to a mysterious masked man, Tabitha thinks she may have finally found her match and eagerly accepts his collar. But she may have made a mistake—as they say, marry in haste, repent in leisure.
Self-made businessman Nathan Battle loves his new little sub. But he can't let her know that. Pushing her to forget her proper manners, he offers her a collar, hoping to keep her subservient to his needs. For now. Because Nathan doesn't do relationships.
Until family issues demand he return home, and he realizes he doesn't want to go without his little slave. And when his mother falls in love with Tabitha, and his brother starts making eyes at her as well, things can only go from bad to worse. Until they hit rock bottom when he finds his brother and his little slave in bed...
Reader note: contains BDSM, spanking, BBW heroine, dominance and submission, wax play, rope bondage, and strong erotic romance elements

Ok let me just start by saying this has been one of the hardest reviews I have ever had to write. I say that because I have attempted to write it multiple times, but every time I have given to much away. So with that being said lets try this again.
Sinners was a book that I connected with immediately. I became so engrossed in it that I was late for a meeting with my daughters teachers. This is book is based on a D/S relationship, so there are scenes that involve light punishment along with bondage among other elements of BDSM.
Tabitha is on the hunt for the one Dom that wants the same things that she is. she wants to be the only sub for him but not full time, so that being known Master Todd a Dom that she has scene with before introduces her to his friend Master B who is looking for the same kind of relationship she is, but he wants a demo before he will agree to try her out.
Nathan Battle also know as Master B is a very well know and wealthy man and he has decided that he wants Tabby so the story really begins. Their road is an interesting one with time away trips for family emergencies and it was not the road that they had not planned but oh what a fun ride it is.
I highly recommend this book it was a book that I was so into that it was read in less than a day. I wasn't able to walk away from it. The only downside was that I wanted there story to continue. J. Richards is a great author that knows how to captivate her audience and I definitely plan on reading her other books in the future.

Oh m f g.
I need to kidnap Mrs Richards and lock her away to write just for me. Either that or she needs to write quicker ;)
Her books always pull me in from the first page and keep me hooked.
It's as much as I can do to leave my kindle to do "every day life"
And this book was definitely no exception.
I love love loved the whole way this story panned out and I'm seriously hoping we may get a book two. *gets on hands and knees and begs*
Please mistress ;)
If your looking for a quick hot read look no further and just one click already you won't be disappointed. Xxx

Sinners is perfect for anyone who is looking for a book that doesn't bother with much small talk and gets to the point right away.
Sinners tells the tale of a Sub looking for the perfect Dom. Eventually, she finds him. But unlike other Doms, he makes her fall in ways she didn't think were possible.
He was looking for the perfect Sub, and found her. But she is unlike others. He is drawn to her, but afraid to get close.
Sinners tells the tale of two people who love each other when they thought it wasn't possible.

Book Review By: Kristy Dean
Author: J. Richards
Title: Sinners
Pages: 133
Price: 4.99
About: This is the first piece of work that I have read from J. Richards. I have to say that it was very well written. It starts off with an action scene, then steps back and explains how everything started and leaded up to the scene, and offers a closing. Yet, I still wanted more. The story is about the BDSM Life style and finding the one person to fill all your needs. I was able to connect with the characters as well as the events going on. I felt like I was right there with them through the twists and turns as their relationship grew. This story does have a few openings in the event that the series keeps going or expanding. I look forward to reading more from this author.
Overview (could contain spoilers): Tabitha has been looking for Dom to fit her in the BDSM lifestyle. She goes to the Kink club in San Francisco where she lives. She knows that she doesn’t have the perfect body, but she makes up for it in her sub zone. While at the club, Master Todd introduces her to a masked friend named Master B. Master B. is looking for Sub who will be his but knows in advance that he doesn’t want a normal relationship outside the club, just a Sub. Master Todd demonstrates how well of a Sub Tabitha is. Master B. Decides to take Tabitha on as a temporary Sub, but soon Finds himself off kilter by her. When Master B. shows his face to her in the private room, Tabitha is shocked to find Nathan Battle, one of the Wealthiest and most Powerful men in San Francisco. But Tabitha decides that she still wants him as her Dom. Later, Nathan has a family issue come up and he takes Tabitha with him. Tabitha gets to see a different side of Nathan and Nathan starts to see Tabatha in a different light. That is until Nathan’s twin brother causes more problems. 8/25/15

I received this book as an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion. I would give this book 4.5 stars.
Where do I even begin? Let’s just say that this book will capture you the minute that you start reading it. The way that the author introduces you to the character makes you feel as if you have known Tabby forever. It should be illegal how hot this book is. I made the mistake of trying to start this book on my lunch at work and found out a few things…. One it will make you not want to put it down. Two, way to steamy for the office; it had me looking over my shoulder like I did something wrong. Three, it had me breaking some speeding limits just to get home so I could finish it.
I don’t like to give away what happens in books during a review but I can tell you that the way that Tabby and Nathan meet, had to be one of the hottest scenes I’ve read in a while!! Nathan is the sexy rich Dom who loved his woman being BBW! Big girls are sexy too! They both agreed that they were just looking for just a sexual relationship and nothing else but we all know what will happen!
The only thing I did not like in the book is that we didn’t get Nathan’s POV. I would have loved to dive in his brain to see what Mr. Battle was thinking. Other than that, I really, really enjoyed this book and would recommend this book to anyone who loves this genre!

Another amazingly HOT read from Jennifer!!! I have yet to read one of her books that I havent fallen in love with.
SO Sinners... Yeah I didnt even read the blurb until after I finished the book.. Does that tell you how much I love J. Richards books? HAHA.
Tabitha and Nathan are not looking for a relationship of the traditional sense. They want a DOM/SUB one without the neediness and everything that goes with relationships. Basically when they want to act out a scene or scratch that itch they call each other. I loved both the characters.
Tabitha takes her sub role very serious and even when Nathan pushes her the first night she doesnt back down. After that first night its a few days before they see each other again. Than a few weeks. Finally Nathan just seems to not be able to stay away and asks her to accompany him on a business trip. those plans get derailed and he must return home to his family's plantation in SC.
What happens after they spend time around his family? Can Nathan keep their agreement for a dom/sub relationship, let her go or does seeing her with his mother and around his family make him want something more?
I absolutely recommend this book if you are looking for a short, sexy, melt your panties with a little bit of hold your breath what just happened moments. BRILLIANT JENNIFER JUST BRILLIANT!!!!

Sinners by J. Richards is a hot panty melting 5 stars.
You get pulled into the book right from the beginning.
Tabitha is looking for the right Dom at club Kink. She is introduced to Master B, who is looking for the right Sub. Master B decides to collar her temporarily to see if she is exactly what he is looking for (Dom - Sub relationship nothing else). When Tabitha finds out that Master B is Nathan Battle,one of the wealthiest men in San Diego she is shocked however accepts his offer.
As they move forward things start to change. Master B invites her to go to London however they are diverted to his family ranch in the states due to his fathers illness. Tabitha instantly falls for the ranch and his parents. On the first night at the ranch something very unexpected and shocking happens that really threw me but really added a great twist.
Sinners doesn't end on a cliffhanger, however it gives me hope that there is a possibility of seeming more of Tabitha and Nathan.
I really enjoy reading J. Richards books. They draw you in and her writing is great, you feel like your right there experiencing it with them. Warning: This is a read you definitely don't want to read in public. There are some very hot scenes that are guaranteed to make you blush.

I received this from SHP for an honest review. This is not the first book I have read from this author, so I knew I was in for a real treat. I just love BDSM stories and this one is pretty hot.
Tabitha LeClair was not like most subs. Most subs that hang around the club are like a stick figure. Tab had all the curves in all the right places. Though she did not mind playing with different Doms she longed for one thing and that was a steady Dom. She was happy to meet Nathan. Problem was she was falling for him and that was not part of the agreement.
Nathan Battle was this handsome successful business man. He was one that did not do relationships. He longed to find the prefect sub that would be at his beckon call when needed. The first night when he met Tab he liked what he had seen. She seemed everything he had wanted. Someone willing to meet his needs, obedient, and with no strings attached.
Can Tabitha keep her heart for falling for Nathan or will her heart be broken? This is a great BDSM story and I enjoyed each and every little smoking hot steamy part..LOL

This book is by far the best J. Richards has written. This is my third book to read by her and I will continue to follow her.
Nathan Battle is a sexy, smirking Dom that will soak your pantira and leave you panting. His firm hand and soft heart will make any smut lover swoon!!
Tabitha is a strong woman just looking to prove her worth. She's completely relateable to the every day woman, with her sexy curves and confidence
When Tabitha and Nathan meet there's instant chemistry that makes you feel the emotions of the characters. I'm right there with Tabitha as Nathan is counting down to "blast off" and when she's a guilty emotional wreck.
Sinners is an amazing stand alone that I could re-read a dozen times!!! Thank you for sharing Battle and his sexy smirk with us!!

I picked up this book because a friend of mine said I Had to read it... What better endorsement can you get right. I was in the middle of another book but I downloaded it and thought I'd take a quick peak... I finished it a little after One AM, I could not put it down.
Can we say Holy Hot, Wow, Nailed it!!! This book should come with a Warning to the husband or boyfriend in your life (Real or Battery Operated), because the Heat Level is off the charts!!! Nathan and Tabatha are on fire together, but I wouldn't mind a a little sample of that :)
It isn't often I find an author that I can say I have to stop and read everything they wrote, but I'm heading to Amazon now :) Happy Reading!!

Super-hot BDSM related romance that ends with a HEA. Tabitha is looking for a master and Nathan can’t find the perfect sub for him. When they do meet sparks fly as they take each other to new heights. Their attraction to each other continues to grow creating an insatiable need for one another even though they agreed to only having a dom/sub relationship. While leaving for vacation a tragic turn of events changes their vacation plans. While visiting his family home something unexpected happens and Tabitha struggles to overcome it. I loved this story and the characters. I recommended reading this book.

OMG Nathan Battleeeeee.... he is a strong sexy Dom and Tabitha is an adorable sub. She was a little chubby and I really liked that. It made her very real and such a fun character to follow. As for the love scenes... whooo!! They were steamy! I especially liked the kinky club scenes that involved public display and multiple Doms. It really gave an insight into the world of a submissive and we also got to see Nathan's softer side with some hot romance. I couldn't stop reading this book and can't wait to read more from this author!

ARC given in exchange for an honest review with SHP.
I have read 2 others of J. Richards' work, and really enjoyed them. Her books are steamy BDSM novels, that are quick type reads. This is of the same ilk, but I found it hard to connect with this story. The writing is well done, but the 2 main characters didn't speak to me. I couldn't get a hold on what Nathan Battle was supposed to be, personality or looks wise. A good steamy read, but I preferred her other books to this one.
This book took me 2.5 hours to read.
I recommend it if you enjoy: Delilah Devlin, or Dixie Lynn Dwyer.

Omg I wished I could give this book more then 5 stars it is awesome and it is so hot the story and characters Lord have mercy. if you read any other book make sure it's this one I can promise you will love it just like I did. Thank you so much J Richards for giving me the opportunity to read and review your books you are an amazing writer.
August 24, 2015
Sinners is a book you will not be able to stop once you start. Tabby want a long term Dom. Enter Master B he wants her and she agrees only one problem he has a mask on. No matter the chemistry has already started. This is an extremely hot read you will have to see for yourself.

I loved this book it starts off with the present day, then flash back to show the reader how Nathan and Tabitha became and item. Well written the plot twist with Theo, Nathans twin was interesting. If you want to get your kinky on this is the book to read.
June 12, 2016
I received a free copy for an honest review. I loved this book, it was amazing and sexy, I could not put this book down. J Richards is an amazing author and I have not read a book by her that I have not absolutely loved.
September 3, 2017
Loved this story of Battle and Tabitha. They each want someone that allows them to continue their lives uninterrupted. But find that the more time they spend together, the more they want of each other. Another wonderful story by J. Richards, she never misses with her books.

I was hooked from page one. I honestly didn't hope for a HEA at the onset of this story; I was so pleasantly shocked by its twists and turns which led to the perfect final scene.

Boy oh boy! This is one amazingly hot book - you may want to read it in private as you're sure to get hot and bothered! This is a nice, easy to read, low angst book that I really enjoyed. This is the second book that I've by this author and they were both really good, so I'll definitely be looking out for more of her books in the future.
Submissive Tabitha, and Dominant Nathan are both looking for a committed BDSM relationship. They just a partner for sex and play, they are not interested in an emotional girlfriend and boyfriend type of relationship. They both take dominance and submission seriously and seem like a perfect match. But when something traumatic happens they begin to realise that emotions have become involved after all.
I really enjoyed this book, the BDSM scenes were great and there was a decent story to back it up. Four stars.

This story sounded so good that I couldn't wait to read it and hoped that it could meet my expectations. Well.....Let's just say it did and more!!! I freaking loved this book!!! I absolutely couldn't read it quick enough and even when it ended I wanted more. Richards does an amazing job keeping you hooked the whole time and you can't help but fall in love with Tabitha and Nathan. To say the story was hot would be an understatement.
If you enjoy stories that contain BDSM and explore dominance and submission I would definitely recommend this one. This was one steamy read! :)

What a great read! I fell in love with both Nathan and Tabitha. Another steamy story from J. Richards who writes amazing books about the Dom/Sub relationship that gets me all fired up.
