**I received a review copy of this book in exchange for an honest voluntary review. All opinions are my own and not influenced by my source.**
This was super action packed. Never a dull moment in terms of the plot. It was perhaps a touch over the top but this whole series has been so I expect nothing less. Lots of twists and turns so I liked that I didn't know how it would end.
Overall: I'm still not the biggest fan of Zeke and Siren's romance but I can appreciate their loyalty to each other and how far they are willing to go to save the other. Plus, it was great to see returning characters from the original series and have the build up for the next spin-off!

This is the final book in the series and I’m glad it’s over. The twists had gotten so twisty that some of them simply didn’t make sense. Julian remained a caricature with no real depth and halfway through the book nothing surprised me anymore. Sins were committed and forgiven and committed again so fast it was hard to keep up. Some of the sex was just, really? Now, when everything is going on they’re going to stop and have sex? Rather than keeping me on my toes, wondering what was going to happen, I just got tired of all the things that couldn’t be trusted. Who’s good and who’s bad? Who’s alive and who’s dead? Who killed who? The total memory loss of multiple people was also unbelievable.
I really enjoyed the first series, Enzo and Kai, even though it was dark and twisty. I enjoyed most of this series, but would have been a lot happier with a few less twists and unbelievable turns. This book gets 3 stars and I’d give the whole series of Zeke and Siren 3.5 stars. This book brought it way down. A lot of this book was setting up Langston's series. The author doesn't want us to know if he's good or bad. Unfortunately, the need to create that mystery really took away from the resolution of things for Zeke and Siren.

This is the final book in the Sinful Truths series and picks up where book five left off. The author once again delivers an action packed story with tons of suspense and twists along the way. It's a dark romance that had me on the edge right to the end. She answers a few questions yet leaves you hanging with some new ones .. possibly a new series? I loved this book/series and am looking forward to a new one!

Zeke And Siren's Story Centers Around Destroying The Box And Their Enemies To Get The Elusive HEA They Desperately Hope For! Trigger Warning.
Trigger warning: sensitive readers may find some material in this book objectionable.
This is the sixth and final book of the Sinful Truths series, which is a spin-off of the Truth or Lies series. It picks up where book five leaves off, and is best read in series. There are many hidden truths. Most are revealed here, while a few questions arise even as the series ends, leading to yet another spin-off. This book pulls things together and provides a happy ending. The series is very complicated to follow, but a refresher follows.
Siren, a.k.a. Aria Torres, now thirty-three, made a vow eight years ago to Jullian Reed, the drug lord who runs things on St. Kitts and beyond. He is working towards expanding his territory; in book one, he dipped into human trafficking. Siren is tied to him, but she hates him. She hates all men. They have all disappointed her. She works for herself, no matter what Julian thinks. But she must follow his orders and she can never lie. She lures bad men into her trap for Julian, who gains from their demise. She didn't want to deliver the dying man to Julian, but she had no other options. As much as she hoped he was different than the other men, she would never be free to be with him.
Zeke Kane, close in age to Siren, works for the infamous Mr. Black. They are more like family, and Zeke will stop at nothing to protect his family. His immense size and physical strength make him a formidable opponent. Yet for those he loves, he is selfless and sweet. He was rescued from bleeding out from a gunshot wound and drowning in the depths of the Caribbean by a beautiful woman with the voice of an angel. Siren, he called her. He was instantly drawn to her like no other. But her motives weren't altruistic. He had been willing to lay down his life for her but was cruelly betrayed and found himself Julian's prisoner instead.
In book two, Julian wants Mr. Black's location, but after Aria's exhaustive efforts to get Zeke to talk, Julian offers Zeke an alternative. Five rounds of truth or sin, similar to truth or dare. Julian adds the caveat that failure will result in Aria's death. Keeping his truths to himself, Zeke opts for sin in his first round.
Eli Beckett appears to be moving in on Julian's turf. Zeke's sin is to track down and eliminate the one-armed Mr. Beckett, about whom little is known. Julian assigns Aria to accompany Zeke. They discover that Eli Beckett works for Mr. Black. Zeke manages to rescue him from the death Siren believes he suffered and sends him into hiding. Meanwhile, Zeke and Siren struggle with their attraction as they find themselves on opposing sides.
In the third book, Zeke discovers Siren is married and he shutters his heart. Meanwhile, Julian announces that for the next round of sin or truth, since Zeke no longer loves Siren, he will kill Lucy if Zeke fails. Lucy is an innocent from Zeke's youth that his best friends know nothing of, so he needs to know the source of the information. Hugo, Siren's husband, says it was Siren who discovered Lucy. For the next round, the truth Julian asks for is the location of Mr. Black's vault. Zeke is shocked again to discover how much Julian knows, and chooses sin. Julian wants something of equal value, so he gives Zeke less than a week to steal one billion dollars and deposit it into his account. This is too easily accomplished via Hugo's conveniently uber-wealthy parents.
To prove herself to Zeke, Siren agrees to divorce Hugo. Hugo follows through on a clause in their agreement allowing him to sell her in case of divorce. She ends up sold to a horrible man named Bishop. Zeke's price for purchasing her freedom is every last penny he owns, which he doesn't hesitate to pay. Siren, however, immediately pushes him away and the truth of what she suffered remains unknown.
Book four begins by first stepping back one week in time to Siren's captivity. Bishop wants to control her mind, so that even in freedom she thinks of him. He once loved, and suggests if she loves him (Zeke is not named), she should push him away or else she will destroy him. Siren later struggles with this as Zeke seeks to earn her trust and finally bring down the walls that separate them. They address the subject of Lucy as Zeke introduces her and Siren learns more about Zeke's past. Julian eventually calls Zeke in for another round of their game. He chooses sin and is required to deliver Mr. Black's yacht. Enzo Black and Kai thus enter the story and meet Siren. Zeke and Siren envision a future together after the danger they now face passes, and Siren agrees to marry Zeke.
Julian captures Lucy, Kai, and Siren and forces Zeke to choose which one of the three women whom he loves to be saved. He chooses Kai, a mother, as Lucy is dying and Siren has repeatedly told him not to save her from Julian. Kai is returned to Enzo. Zeke races to catch up with Julian but is captured by an unknown woman. Meanwhile, Siren is in a faraway place and agrees to whatever Julian wants in exchange for allowing Lucy's last moments to be peaceful.
Book five opens with Siren and Zeke each in captivity, brutally violated and beaten - Siren by Julian and Zeke by Palmer. Palmer is Lucy's former lover who suddenly shows up on the island and blames Zeke for Lucy's disappearance. Julian and Bishop are working together and bicker over who gets Siren first. Julian wins, claiming he is in charge. But when Bishop gets her, he claims to be in charge and is only interested in her mind. Siren negotiates her freedom from Bishop by promising him a horrible task. Bishop still insists no love is unbreakable but Siren refuses to believe him.
With Enzo's help, Siren retrieves Zeke and all return to Mr. Black's yacht. Zeke and Siren are both so damaged, however, that their future together is uncertain. They have a lot of pain, both physical and emotional, to work through. But Siren made a promise to Bishop that promises to shatter whatever pieces she and Zeke have managed to piece back together.
The final book has the various players trying to locate Lucy's box that contains the cancer virus and associated cure. It represents the power to pick and choose who lives and who dies. This has been Julian and his financier's target all along, and Bishop has teamed up with Julian in this effort as well, as they have many similar interests and it benefits them to work together. Zeke, Siren, Enzo, and Kai are hoping to reach the box first and destroy it.
As the story opens, to save Siren, Zeke has just shot Enzo as ordered by Julian. Enzo manages to go overboard and Kai follows after him. Zeke leaves Siren behind on Enzo's yacht with his friend Langston, who unbeknownst to Zeke, is also Bishop. Siren, pregnant with Zeke's baby, has learned that the dreaded and mind-controlling Bishop is Zeke's good friend. And Zeke agrees to take Julian to Alaska in search of the sought after box with the cancer virus, knowing he will likely never see Siren again.
Alone with Langston/Bishop, Siren struggles to determine if she is dealing with Langston, Zeke's good friend, or Bishop, a dark version of the man that evolved following excruciating heartbreak (presumably from Liesel). She notes that he hadn't hurt her physically and seems to mask his goodness, but he warns her he is not a good man. As truths unravel, his motives remain hazy.
The truths that are revealed are shocking and the action will keep you at the edge of your seat. As usual, things get tense and violent. And Zeke and Siren have great chemistry even in the midst of it all.
Zeke and Siren's story in Broken Anchor centers around destroying the box and their enemies so that they can get the elusive HEA they desperately hope for. The couple put behind any doubts about one another in book five when they were married. They are expectant parents now, so their lives will soon need stability. Zeke is paired with Julian, Siren with Bishop. Zeke, ever the protector, has more to worry about here as Siren is pregnant. He can't protect her when they are separated, and for the first time Siren needs to sit out of the fighting. They get caught up in the power stuggle between Julian and Bishop, which tests their strength.
There are some issues which merit mention. **Spoilers** First, coincidence plays perhaps too large a role. That a new generation happens to cross paths in a deadly game that they are already connected in is difficult to buy into. Second, there is a considerable amount of memory loss, some manipulated and some blocked reflexively, but taken altogether it feels too convenient. Third, Julian knew all along that Siren's memories needed to be recovered so it is unclear what his intentions were when he tried to take Zeke to Alaska and later when he takes Zeke again. The explanation is fuzzy.
Fourth, it is unclear why Julian would make a deal on the box in exchange for Zeke when he already knows Siren has relevant buried memories - and then at the same time Julian believes Zeke still knows the location of the box that Lucy had given him. Fifth, Langston gives a long history of Siren and the box, but it is unclear how he pieced it all together. Sixth, it is unclear why Bishop had Siren make a pass at his friend Enzo in book five, and unclear why nobody questions it once his identity is known here. Seventh, the idea of killing someone Siren loves is extreme and not guaranteed to get results, yet seriously considered along with other extreme ideas. Eighth, it would have been easy to take out Julian and his men when they were on Langston's turf, torture him for info and hack his phone - like the original plan. The drama and broken friendships and trust were unnecessary. Ninth, the motivations of Siren's parents are confusing. They wanted to rid the world of evil but they were out for revenge for being pushed out of a drug and arms trade arrangement. Tenth, Langston mysteriously knows the hidden location of the box and shares it with Zeke near the end. Eleventh, Julian's strange and mysterious affection for Siren is never fully explained although even more questions arise during this final book. Finally, the many coincidences feel almost incestuous, and the choices are often unnecessarily complicated.
Zeke and Siren's final story is a dark suspenseful romance loaded with danger and deception that will finally answer most outstanding questions. Zeke and Siren hope to find their forever but circumstances may put forever out of reach. The book is nicely written. The POV alternates between Zeke and Siren, with a cameo in Kai's POV. The plot is very complex. The characters are well-defined. I rate this book 3.5 stars.

This is the last book in the series, and I do recommend reading them in order. Siren and Zeke’s story continues, two broken people trying to heal each other and find happiness. Other always seem to be intent on ruining that for them. Will they finally get what they dreamed of? Fast-paced read with intense chemistry lots of twists and turns and action packed. I was hooked from beginning to end. I loved it!

Finally a conclusion to their long story. Maybe if had read the original book first and not the spin offs I would have appreciated the secondary characters more. Oh well. This was an action packed book. yes there was drama but not as much as I was expecting. And I finally have all my questions answered. At the moment I am just truly happy that the series ended.

If you have been following along in Ella Miles Sinful Truth Series, then you'll need to read this 6th and final book in Zeke and Siren's story...it will knock you for a loop! This is NOT a standalone, the previous books need to be read before this one to understand everything that has happened so far, which is ALOT!!!
Never expect ordinary or easy in a mafia oriented romance like this one. Dramatic scenes, violence and criminal craziness are always just a heartbeat away...this is what you can expect to find between the pages of Broken Anchor, along with great characters to either love or hate...
This suspense filled book will keep you guessing with its many wild twists and unbelievable turns, from land to sea and even from the sky. It's hard to tell who are the bad guys to avoid or the people you should trust with your life. Pay attention to the details or you might blink and miss an important plotline!
All I can say without letting any spoilers ruin your reading experience is... this is another one of Ella Miles over the top, edgey romances that ends with a bang. Sin or Truth???

GIRD YOUR LOINS ADRENALINE JUNKIES **4.25 stars**
“How far am I willing to go for love? Too far. How much am I willing to break? All the way.”
This heart-pounding finale to the Sinful Truths series is bona fide hair-raising adrenaline rush with a blowout ending, in which Ella pulls out all the stops with a number of “did she really go there?!” moments. She writes terrific escapist, adventure/action/romance with enough erotic scenes to keep you squirming and testosterone-laced alpha standoffs to make your eyes pop. Our beloved characters are all caught up in life and death situations in a ticking time bomb scenario filled with twists and turns that left me unsure of anything I thought I believed. And believe me, she’s got some surprising tricks up her sleeve in this story, but my lips are sealed. There’s something valuable they all want, and whoever gets it, wins. More than a few monkey wrenches are thrown into the finale, along with duplicitous characters that make us question who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. Is friend foe or is foe friend? Importantly, who is Bishop really and what is his game plan? That one will keep you guessing. The girls are always just as fierce as the boys, and we’re going to find out just how strong Kai and Siren are when it comes to their men.
I still love Zeke best – that man knows no bounds when it comes to protecting those he loves and risks the impossible and his life every time as the weight of his powerful force is aimed squarely at saving Siren in hopes of getting their deserved HEA. But, he finally finds himself backed into a tight corner with few options against ruthless Julian and his nasty bag of tricks. Even if the odds are stacked against Zeke, he’ll fight to the end for his wife and unborn child – so noble.
This all boils down to Enzo’s clan being a family, and aiming their collective force at outsmarting their enemies. For me, this bunch is all the best colors in the crayon box and always deliver lots of “ooh and aah” moments. Yeah, yeah, I know most of what they do is realistically impossible, but they aren’t supposed to be ordinary like you and me. And what would all that tension be without some really hot sexual relief? I love the OTT stuff and Ella’s writing style that whisks me away on these extraordinary adventures, always leaves me hopelessly dangling on the edge of an impossible cliffy, and then leaves me happily dazed and smirky when all is said and done. The tradition of this series continues with a springboard into another possible spinoff – bring it on! – and an ending that will leave you exhausted and sated. It’s always sad to end one of Ella’s series, but still left with excitement for the next one to come.
“In a game of truth or sin, we all chose sin. The truth broke us. Sin saved us.”
“How far am I willing to go for love? Too far. How much am I willing to break? All the way.”

The tradition of this series continues with a springboard into another possible spinoff – bring it on! – and an ending that will leave you exhausted and sated. It’s always sad to end one of Ella’s series, but still left with excitement for the next one to come.

The BIG question to ask…. the ONLY question to ask: Is Langston friend or foe?
The next question to ponder will be: Is blood really thicker than water?
You’ll get all the answers with all the plot twists and revelations as you turn the pages. But not so fast there. Just because you find an answer, or think you’ve found the answer, just keep reading because that answer you thought you found just may be a twisted delusion.
🤯 FRUSTRATIONS:
... Julian is a joke and it makes no sense why Zeke, Siren, Kai and Enzo give him so much credence. They could take him out easily and find the person calling all the shots. After all, the head honcho called Julian a couple times … while they all were in the room … and they didn’t stay tied up for long. Get the phone and you get the source… then it’s bye, bye Julian.
... I skimmed way too much to get to the action, the real plot line, which was not the bedroom acrobatics.
👁 OBSERVATIONS:
… This is not for the weak of heart. There are things throughout the book that can make you cringe. For me, it was all the unnecessary F bombs and bedroom gymnastics. I was interested in the real storyline and that half of the book just got in my way. So, I skimmed over those parts.
… The first series, Taken, was more action and plot. I wish this one with Zeke had followed suit.
… Siren’s loss of memory was pretty far fetched and implausible, as were several events in this story. However, this series is written to entertain, not to be real. So instead of reality based fiction, this series teases you with fantasy based fiction.
… Throughout the book, we are made to wonder about Langston. You’ll need to read this to find out if he is good or evil, but maybe he’s a little of both? I’m guessing we’ll find out a lot more this fall when his story gets told.
... In the end, Zeke's money is on his girl . He's loyal through and through.

Broken then beautifully restored
Broken Anchor (Sinful Truths Book 6) by Ella Miles is a wonderfully well written conclusion to her Sinful Truths series. When this saga started, I had no idea how much devastation, devotion, darkness and utter destruction it would entail. On the flip side, to combat the evil plaguing Zeke, Siren and their family, it has been filled with stolen moments that are sweet, seductive, honest, real and ultimate self-sacrifices time after time. I loved these heartfelt and deeply emotional connections as well as the loving, teasing and moments of levity when Zeke and as well as the loving, teasing and moments of levity when Zeke and Siren can forget, get lost in one another to flirt, banter and learn more about one another.
As the plot has been on-going, this book in its conclusion and resolution was as anxiety inducing as it was inspiring that good would prevail. The characters and their actions had me holding my breath while on the edge of my seat! Plenty of action to round this series out, held my attention captive from the prologue to the epilogue. I simply could not read fast enough turn the pages as quickly as I wanted as I was desperate for Zeke and Siren to finally put an end to all their antagonists for once and for all.
Overall, a heady dark and suspenseful romance that wove a tale with twists and surprises magnetic characters and a magnificent HEA that will not be soon forgotten.

This is the final story in Zeke’s and Siren’s journey! It starts up where book five left off…Zeke left Siren with Langston, or Bishop. Is he really evil or is it all a game? He is not willing to take that chance…he escapes Julian and goes back to find Siren. From there, it nothing but constant action~ It will be a guessing game as to who is evil and who is not! The betrayals will go more than skin deep…it will be enough to destroy the toughest of the tough…the deaths will take a toll as well. Those who come back from the dead will also cost others! Julian’s financier will be a SHOCK to everyone! EVERYONE is after one thing…the box that contains the virus and cure that has cost so many their lives and money as well~ What and who will it cost in the scheme of things to come? Will Siren and Zeke ever find the life they are desperate to have? Ms. Ella Miles continues to keep her readers in thrall with her Black series~ We cannot escape the sins, lies and truths as these people continue to experience the worse and best of all three! It will be a continuous struggle until all of their enemies are put away…including the personal demons they fight! Next up, will be Langston’s and Liesel’s stories…I received this via Booksprout and am leaving a voluntary review.

A dramatic conclusion to the series!
by sewsummore
The last book in this series brings closure to the readers who have been following Siren and Zeke's twisted romance. Now that it had finished, I must admit to feeling sorrow for the end but happy that they finally were free to love each other fully and without restraint. All the books in this series grabbed my attention from the start. The many of the characters appearing were from the earlier series written by this author. I enjoyed reading about what had happened in their lives after their series had finished, and many of them played a significant role in this book as well. In Ella's books, there are always twist you do not expect, and this book is no exception. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the entire series, and I look forward to reading more of her books as they become available.

First let me say, I was given the privilege of being able to read this ARC and wanted to give my honest review. These are Zeke's thoughts and I'm quoting them because they sum up these characters so well as bring tears to my eyes. "We've all hurt each other in unforgivable ways while protecting those we hold dearest. And that's the way it should be. None of us hold grudges for what Enzo did to protect Kai. What Langston did for Liesel. Or what I did for Siren. In the end, we protect our own. We all do what has to be done to protect the love of our lives. We are all a family. And we fix our mistakes." Or is everything as it seems? I didn't think I'd make it through. So many twists and turns. So many emotions with all the drama and angst. So many truths or sins. My heart is still pounding and my hands are still shaking. Once again Ella Miles has given me a phenomenal book and one terrific ending to an awesome series.

This is the final piece of Siren and Zeke's story. You must read all these books and in order to get the whole story and have a full understanding of it all. This couple's journey has been a complex, steamy, action packed, complicated, dramatic, suspenseful and emotional adventure filled with jarring twists and more than a few WTF! moments along the way. All I can say is that you can expect pretty much the same from this final book. While I enjoyed this series, I found myself at that point where enough is enough. Maybe that is because there was just one too many straw to break the camel's back or it could simply be the world we are all living in at the moment but one way or the other my patience was stretch too thin and in the end I just ended up glad it was over. This is my independent, impartial review.

In this book we find that Kai and Enzo are picked up after Zeke shoots Enzo and he falls into ocean. Kai dove in after Enzo, but they find that each are wearing Kevlar vests so a bullet wouldn't penetrate if fired into chest area...so Zeke actually saved them from Julian Reed....but Zeke has to leave a pregnant Aria on the ship with Langston and go with Julian to complete his contract...then finds that Langston and Bishop one in the same and his best friend Langston instantly became his worst enemy next to Julian...everyone looking for box hidden by Kai containing a deadly virus which will decimate humanity...but all is not as it seems and maybe Kai isn't person who actually hid the box away, but another in their group...but you will need to read this thriller to see what happens...I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

The final chapter in this series and what a blockbuster it is. The first page takes you from the last book, and it's explosive. You think one thing, then two pages later you think, no, it can't be. It's such an emotional book and series for that matter, the depth of Ms. Miles writing is spectacular. Lots of cameos of old friends and there is definitely more than one evil to take down. A total page turner, total mind bender, totally unbelievable the journey that I went on. It was an absolutely thrilling adventure. Don't start it before you go to bed, otherwise you won't get to bed! Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.

Excellent end of this dark romance
Volume 6, spoiler volume 5
This is an excellent last part, very well written, always turning to psychological games, to abuse against Zeke and Siren, betrayed in every way, but who still support themselves now that they are virtually married and that she is pregnant. All their enemies are present again and you never really know who is manipulating who against whom.
However, beyond what Julian and Langston are looking for, one point seems inevitable to the couple's survival: kill Julian Reed whoever helps them.
In short, the story is always full of tension, with some parts very difficult to read due to the abuse.

The final chapter of Siren and Zeke’s adventure, at least for now.
Their love story will be put to the test once again, they will hide things from each other again and take many risks in order to protect the other and save the world in the process.
But despite the secrets and deceit, it is clear how much they have evolved in terms of trust. Although they know that the other is lying, they know that it is for their own good, and it is something that both characters do often.
There is something that amuses me with these characters and that is that they are all experts in farewells.
I can't wait to read the story of Langston, aka Bishop, and what he went through with his girl to end up heartbroken.

This puts the exclamation point on a fantastic series! I love all of Ella's series but this one is by far my favorite. I couldn't put it down! I love Zeke and Siren! There are so many questions heading into the final installment. It picks up right where book 5 left off with Zeke saying goodbye to Siren in hopes of saving her. Nothing comes easy for them when all they want is to be together and be free of their enemies. If you like dark, romantic mysteries that keep you on the edge of your seat, you need to read this series! In fact, start with the Truth & Lies series. You are introduced to Zeke and many of the characters that appear in Sinful Truths.

A great conclusion to the Sinful Truth Series! The last book had me super anxious to read this one and I was engrossed the whole time I read it!
Langston plays a huge role in this book which I love! He really kept a mystery about him that kept you guessing whether he was good or bad.
I enjoyed the book so much. But I do wish we could have gotten a chapter from Enzo & Kai during the "final battle" as I'm calling it.
I'm excited to read the next spin off of the Truth or Lies series and see more Langston & Liesel! Eeep!

I loved this whole series but I was hesitant to read Broken Anchor after the ending in Fallen Love. I was worried I wouldn't like how it ended up but I'm so glad to say it went a different way and I LOVED Broken Anchor! Zeke has always been my favorite and he deserved a happy ending after all the crap he had to go through. It was really enjoyable to have so much of Kai and Enzo in this book, they all deserve to be together, like the family they are. I highly recommend this series if you like suspenseful dark romances. They are expertly written and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Plenty of heat to keep it exciting too!

What a journey right until the end
Broken Anchor is the sixth and final book in the Sinful Truths series and boy oh boy is it a way to finish up. This entire series has been gripping, suspenseful, mysterious, duplicitous, dark and filled with all sorts of twists along the way. The real question in the end is do Siren and Zeke get their HEA, in what ever form it takes for them. All I can say is that just as with the previous five books in the series this last keeps up the intense story-line right until the end.

This series has exhausted me -- it is hot, fast paced and filled with twists and turns that you'll never see coming. The first book I started was the one prior to this one and I had to go back to the beginning so before you start -- start at the beginning of the series. You'll need to know all the obstacles these two have overcome so you can appreciate the ending even more. Excellent series. I highly recommend starting when you know you can finish because you won't be able to put these down. There is always another twist, always another turn. Truths are lies and lies are truth. You won't know which way the story is going next. Awesome Read!

Love, betrayal, loyalty, friendship, family...where does it begin and where does it end? I am so impressed with the world that Ella has created with the Zeke, Siren, Kai, Enzo, and Langston I am at a loss for words. The conclusion to the Sinful Truths series is a fantastic rollercoaster ride. If you are like many others looking for that escape from reality then you need to check out this series. If you have not entered into this world yet, be prepared to have your emotions toyed with and your head spinning. Ella did not disappoint with the conclusion of Zeke and Siren's story.

This is the final book in this series and we pick up right where we left off. You will be on the edge of your seat with this one. I read this in one sitting I couldn’t put it down. It’s finally Zeke and Siren’s turn for happiness, they so deserve it, but as always there are people trying to come between them, but can love conquer it all? I sure as hell hope so!! Their story is action packed and full of suspense you will be sucked in immediately. A great series, loved it. I received a copy of this book.

I love this series. All the problems, lies and just stubbornness finally came to an end. This was the best way to end this series. The truth was finally revealed. No one else needed to suffer anymore. The losses were great but overall the people that mattered the most were still there. I laughed, cried and got angry so many times with this book especially because it really all came together the way it is supposed to.

What an incredible finale to another wonderful series! There are so many ups and downs, twists and turns, I was turned upside down trying to figure out what the truth was! Oh, the lies, lies, and more lies, but the purpose of the lying is to get to the truth! Filled with heartbreak, Zeke and Siren will finally reach their well-deserved happiness, but at what cost? And is Langston really Bishop, is he friend or foe? When you think you have him figured out, he does a complete turnaround! I can’t wait for the next seri, which will be Langston and Liesel’s story.
