Fall From Grace
Ready for more Sinclaire brothers? From bestselling erotic suspense author Katherine Hawthorne comes the highly anticipated dangerously sexy enemies-to-lovers standalone!
A teenage love affair gone horribly wrong.
After tragedy destroyed my family, my father became my cruelest adversary. To solidify his position, he vowed to sell me off to the most heinous criminal in his organization. I vowed to do everything in my power to destroy him.
An unholy alliance too tempting to resist.
In one soul-shattering night, my attempts at finding justice resulted in the loss of countless lives, forcing me into bed with a devil far more dangerous than my father. Seduced by his power, the thirst for vengeance darkened my soul, blurring the lines between good and evil.
A man who would stop at nothing to own my soul.
He called himself my knight in shining armor. I called him a monster. I told myself I despised him yet was helpless against the explosive chemistry between us. Surrendering to temptation, he consumed me completely, his desires as dark as my own. Ruthless in his attempts to possess me, I realized too late his every move had been calculated, forcing me into a decision that would forever bind us together. One that would either prove to be my salvation or my ultimate fall from grace.
Author’s note: Beware! While reading enjoyment may be enhanced by first experiencing the Sinful Surrender Quartet without spoilers, Fall From Grace can be read as a complete standalone. This book is intended for mature audiences due to explicit language and sexual content.

This is brilliantly written. I became emotionally invested in this story. The opening of the book sets the stage. It is intense, frightening, intriguing, and sinful.
Grace. Her name says it all. She is beautiful, passionate, feisty, and bold. Her love will lead her many dark and dangerous places. Her connection to Knight and Petrov is complex, and the lies and betrayal that follow her lead her on an insane journey.
There is so much more to be told of this story, and I can't wait to read more.

My Review: This is my first time reading a book by Katherine Hawthorne and I really enjoyed it. Fall From Grace is full of passion, mystery and suspense. I must admit in the beginning I was a little confused as to what was happening. The story kind of jumps around a bit. As everything unfolds we discover 3 men in Grace’s life; Knight, Kade and Petrov and she is attracted to each of them for different reasons. Their true identities aren’t revealed until later and the journey to those discoveries are full of lies, betrayal and danger. Grace is a great heroine but a little too stubborn and fights her feelings a little too long. I wanted to see Grace happy and in love longer. We get a happy ending for her and her H, but I wish it came a little sooner to really enjoy it to the fullest. With that being said, I highly recommend this book and I’ll be checking out other books by the author very soon.

4 1/2 Stars!!
What a compelling storyteller! I loved the way this author was able to capture the dark emotional romantic pull that Knight/Kade had on Grace.
His obsession and uncertainty with her added an edge to their relationship that was filled with romantic intensity.
Grace’s continued betrayal by all who were close to her and her strength to endure it all for her sister showed her inner character and grit.
Super steamy scenes as this potent couple steamed up the virtual pages of my e-reader.
A dark and satisfying read.

This book is a wonderfully complex twisted suspenseful romance story with a Hot alpha. He is protective, dominant, possessive but loving with a big heart. The female character is also super strong, stubborn, loyal and protective over her sister but doesn't trust anyone. There are so many dark twisted turns, my head was spinning. This couple sizzles together and they are super hot. Their connection and sex scenes are exhilarating. So great!!

This is a standalone book however if you read the author's series 'Sinful Surrender' there is a cross over of characters. The author writing style is instantly engaging and she has a brilliant skill where she is able to further heighten the intensity of a high pressure scene in the book. I literally was racing through the pages to find out what happens next, very much like reading a movie scene.
The steamy scenes in the book are plentiful and match the urgency of the main characters story lines. I immensely enjoyed this book and am looking forward to seeing what the author does next.

This was such a good read. This book offers a captivating blend of intense emotions, drama, darkness, steam, suspense, romance and danger. The characters are intriguing, the chemistry sparks and you will find yourself anxious and eager to keep reading. I thought Grace and Kade's story was amazing. I am posting an independent, impartial review.

Grace's whole life is wrapped around keeping her sister Juliette safe. Safe from her father, safe from the evil men involved with her father. To do this she will be sold to a man chosen by her father. When she meets Knight, the attraction is crazy. Sudden tragedy throws everything up in the air. Who can she trust? Can she fix this? There are about a million layers to this story. It is so good.

The story starts on a dark note that haunts Grace throughout. Encountering (the Dark) Knight was passionate and enlivened. Then the darkness paid another visit. Back and forth. Round and round. Grace is surrounded by dark. Of course, the exceptions are the two people she has only familial love towards - Jason and Juliette and she's secure in that feeling. ...And then all h breaks loose. The story is riveting and the action is intense. The best part, though, is the ending. It's a heart melter. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

My goodness!! Katherine Hawthorne didn’t waste any time, she just jumped right into chaos!! Lies, deceit, twists and turns! Exciting and intense! The chemistry between Grace and Kade was off the charts!! Such a fantastic story!! Unbelievably awesome!!
April 28, 2020
My head is spinning, nothing is straight forward that's for sure, Grace a mafia princess has no choice she has to marry who her father says but double crossing is the normal it seems Grace wanted to take her father down, then she met the one she was promised to, and all she done was was put a target on her back. Steamy, suspenseful romance with so many twists absolutely a must read. I voluntarily reviewed this book.

WOW so much going on in this story. At first I was confused but then it all came together in my head with all the different characters and players. The chemistry and sex scenes were sizzling and off the charts hotness. A lot of mystery and suspense, a romantic thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next surprise.

Fall from Grace is sinful and intriguing
*** 4 1/2 Stars ***
Having discovered Katherine Hawthorne's writing with the Sinful Surrender Quartet I was really looking forward to a bit more of the Sinclaire brothers in Fall From Grace. The author did not disappoint with the story. Yes it can definitely be read as a stand-alone but if you really want to get into the whole world and you have the time then reading the Sinful Surrender Quartet beforehand will enhance this story.
Fall From Grace is a well crafted and written story which grabbed my attention early and kept it until the end. The characters are well developed as the author has blended suspense, danger, romance, drama, emotion and a whole lot of hot and steamy sexual chemistry. This was a real entertaining book to read and a definite recommendation.
I received an ARC of this book from the author for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

This was my first time reading this author's work and I enjoyed this book immensely. It was a steamy, suspenseful and well edited book that kept me engaged throughout it all. Grace was a smart and resourceful woman who loved her sister dearly and had a difficult upbringing. Knight was sexy and protective but whose side was he on? The chemistry between these two was off the charts and I fell for Knight like a lead balloon. He was definitely swoon worthy.
The twists and turns in this book will give you whiplash and trying to figure out who is good and who is bad will keep you guessing and switching sides right up until the end of the book. You will get some surprises for sure! This is a great thriller with a steam factor that is super hot! I give this 4-1/2 Sexy Suspenseful Stars!

This book is amazing! It’s got suspense, action & romance all in one amazing story. Grace is a strong independent woman who isn’t sure who to trust but can’t help the feelings she is developing for Knight (Kade). Grace and Kade complement each other and have amazing chemistry together even if she doesn’t want to admit it! I loved reading about the Sinclaire brothers again and am really hoping we get to see more of them! Once I started this book I had an extremely hard time putting it down. Grab this book today you won’t regret it!

A Fabulous story full of palpable suspense, intrigue, deceit, betrayal, lies (so many lies!), lust and love. I loved this story for its massive depth of each of these things and how they played with my emotions and my mind. This author wrote a brilliant, captivating story that I was unable to put down. I hope that Juliet’s story is still to come and is written along a similar timeline because her story is begging to be told. The sense of family that comes from his side was beautiful, supporting, loving and intense with emotions while her’s is the exact opposite. The scenes between them held an intensity that gave me chills. Great storytelling. Recommend

Wow, what an epic ride that was!!
This book had me gripping my kindle with suspense the whole way. I couldn't read this story fast enough.
Both Kade and Grace were deep, interesting characters that I liked from the beginning. Their chemistry jumped off the screen, it was that electric. It was enjoyable seeing their relationship grow throughout this book.
This story had me hook, line and sinker from the get go. It was full on from the start with twist and turns the whole way which kept you enthralled until the very end.
This was my first book by this Author and it makes me want to read more of her books.

★ Swept along in another Sinclair Brother erotic suspense ★
—>>> Separate scenes and many interesting characters come together to form a suspense-filled story which will sweep you along with all the love/hate, enemies/lovers, good/evil contrasts in thoughts and deeds. It was an equally engrossing followup to this author’s Sinful Quartet, and we get to revisit with a few of those characters as they come together to help Knight when he needed it most. Of course, it is filled with betrayal, lies, and danger, balanced with the consuming

Wow! This is a intense emotional twisted steamy sensual romance with loads of suspense and drama with criminal families turning on each other and at the heart is Grace and Knight/Kade. She is the daughter of a casino owning father who sold her in order to gain more power and Knight/Kade is working undercover for the DEA and is the purchaser of Grace. There are some very intense sexual scenes in this story with Grace and Knight/Kade fighting for control. This is one book that I could not stop reading just waiting for the next twist to happen.

Intense 5 stars - Sh!++y family makes for a very intriguing story. Grace’s parents, Jason, Petrov, Juliette and Knight - who is telling the truth? So much betrayals, secrets and deceptions. This is a good standalone book after the Sinful Surrender books. The intensity of feelings between Grace and Kade is palpable on the pages of the book. Steam level is high but the scenes are not that frequent. Could never have too many Sinclair brothers! Who’s next? [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]

Grace and Kade are a powerful, explosive couple, they have so many layers to their characters both individually and together. Grace figured her father was the cruelest human being she knew, she was wrong. Kade is willing to help Grace seek her vengence on her father but he has demands of his own. Is there a price too steep to pay? This story is a must read. The Sinclaire brothers are from a previous series but no where needed to be hooked and love this book. A true gift for storytelling. Enjoy!

Definitely worth reading everyone!
So many twists and turns in Grace's world, involving pretty much all who knew her and Knight /Damon/Kade lol
Saw a few twists coming but you definitely got to have focus on this book as there are many details you might miss if not!!
Really want to read about, Juliette, Rafe, Alex and Bella...?!!
