Sin Too

Sin #2

by S.J. Tilly

-Beth-

It started with tragedy.

And secrets.

Hidden truths that refused to stay buried have come out to chase me. Now I’m on the run, living under a blanket of constant fear, pretending to be someone I’m not. And if I’m not really me, how am I supposed to know what’s real?

-Angelo-

Watch the girl.

It was supposed to be a simple assignment. But like everything else in this family, there’s nothing simple about it. Not my task. Not her fake name. And not my feelings for her.

But Beth is mine now.

So when the monsters from her past come out to play, they’ll have to get through me first.

Girl, this book.

Lemme tell you. I was legitimately laughing my ass off at different parts in this book. My heart also hurt at times for some of the characters. The depth Tilly creates in her characters is so incredible. And the stories she writes are so incredible. I loveeeeee this book even more than the first one. Angelo is definitely my favorite now, too. So thanks for that S.J.
Between the hardships the characters go through and all that it is still a book filled with so much genuine love between Beth and Noah it made my heart so happy to see their relationship develop and expand. And so realistic. Like it was incredible! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I can’t wait for your new series to come out.

I’m not here anymore, I’ve melted

I binged read Book 1 and Book 2 in one day! ONE DAY, y’all!!! Vincent and Sasha won my heart, but Angelo and Beth melted it along with my brain! I can’t with this book hangover.

This book made me feel every emotion I could possibly feel and made me laugh, cry, sigh, swoon and jolt. Everything! Absolutely everything.

A beast of an alpha like Angelo with his tough facade but sweet mushy heart and a badass, fierce and loving heroine like Beth made the perfect combination for a beautiful and intriguing sequel! They were just P E R F E C T I O N!

The love, the action, the family vibes and story full of redemption, hope and true love in allnits forms had my heart pumping fast and my brain reading till 2:30AM.

I can’t wait to read book 3!

This author won my heart already and I want to read every single title she’s written!

Entretenido, chistoso y cute. El misterio no fue la gran cosa, pero estuvo bueno. Justo lo que necesitaba leer.

Y admito que esa confesión de amor si estuvo linda. Pero se nota un montón la diferencia de escritura y manera de crear personajes de la autora que tenía antes y cómo es ahora (obviamente me gusta más ahora), y me alegra un montón que haya mejorado tanto. Creo que su cambio en general se empieza a notar en la serie de la Alianza y de ahí pa' lante amo sus libros y cualquier cosa que esta mujer se digne a escribir 🙏💗.

Another fantastic read by SJ Tilly! The story was wonderful! It made me laugh and made me cry. Her character development is phenomenal - not just the main characters, but the side characters too. Totally gave me all the feels ❤.

Sin Too is a standalone and is the second book in The Sin series, but best enjoyed after Mr. Sin. It is written in first person with dual perspective.

S.J. Tilly is the queen of contemporary and/or mafia-lite romances about big and muscly dudes, curvy heroines, and their mutual horniness. 🤣

I had to refresh my memory on who Angelo was (he was introduced as the MMC’s giant bodyguard and cousin in Mr Sin, the first book in this series, you’re welcome), but I (along with Beth) was very into Mount Angelo. He was *smouldering*. The strong, silent and slightly stalker-ish type who has a penchant for swooping in to save the day.

The story was also fast-paced (she and her nephew are hiding from the bad guys, he’s been tasked with looking out for her but she doesn’t know it, cue horniness) and the audiobook narrators gave good performances.

Is this going to be a re-read? Probably not. But it was very entertaining and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Mehhh/ big giant bodyguard type H & small curvy phys therapist/ not jp

This one I debated reading and I skimmed a lot of it not gonna lie. I kinda hoped Angelo would be a bit more dominate and aggressive being this giant head of security guy- but… it just didn’t so for me. Overall I liked the story but anyone who knows me, knows I need an aggressive H. I prefer OTT but don’t always have to have it, but I need my men to demand what they want, and take it. Not really just wait around and give space- F that, make her forgive you….. anyways…

Some things:
-H is Angelo from book 1 but this is can be read without book 1 but helps. He’s head of security and described as a big hulk like dude.
- h is a physical therapist, whose newly gotten custody of her teenage nephew and kind of on the run bc some bad dudes were after her brother and ex boyfriend
-I liked the h and Noah and really all the side characters I just ended up skipping alot
-There was alot of misunderstanding “he just left so he doesn’t want me” “oh she’s acting like she wants me to go so I should just leave” …. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🙄 and he goes. And he gives her space… I don’t like space y’all… NO Space!!
-Not Ow drama but it looks that way, but it’s not, at all. Really no drama Besides their angst bc they dunno what the other thinks or their taking time, and giving space ugh lol.

I won’t read the next bc I honestly don’t care to learn about John lol 😂

Sin Too

SJ Tilly is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine!
This is book 2 of the Sin Series. I loved this story about Beth, Angelo & Noah! Seeing Sasha, Annie & Vincent again was the icing on top!
Beth, Noah & Angelo's story is unique. The instant attraction is pure happiness! Read this series now!

Well it’s not her best i liked the first one better but anything till i go out of this reading slump


But for real I keep picturing Angelo as the hulk from how big they keep saying he is

4.4 stars.
Not my favorite from this author, but I did really enjoy the characters.
Especially Beth and Noah’s relationship development. So. Fucking. Sweet.
And Noah and Angelo? *swoon*
I loved that.

The rest of it wasn’t as heartwarming and perfect honestly. Noah’s relationships were really the ones keeping me hooked and making the book kind of special.

I still liked Angelo and Beth together. But they just didn’t have the same connection as some of my favorite couples from this same author have.

Este no dio en el blanco.

[Maria Elena | pagesofmaria · Rating 5 out of 5]

Angelo had alpha-levels of intensity that did things to me on a physical and spiritual level. What a man! And Beth was an amazing female lead. I loved her (and Noah) since the very first page. Their chemistry was so good that I inhaled this book rather than read it. I think I melted every time he called her “baby girl”, which delivers differently coming from him seeing that he’s a giant of a man. Seriously, I loved this book even more than the first one! I also really adored Noah’s character. He’s Beth’s 16 year old nephew, and a promising hockey player. His scenes with Beth were filled with such unconditional love and emotion, and I adored his dynamic with Angelo. (I wouldn’t mind having a spin-off novel set in the future about Noah. Maybe with Annie? I just love both their characters so much, and I can see them fitting well together as adults. Bookish gods, make this happen!)

Sin Too was steamy, fun, emotional and intense. It’s the second in the Sin Series, but you can read it as a standalone as long as you don’t mind being spoiled some details from the previous book, Mr. Sin . (But please read that one, too!)

Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy. Opinions are my own.

I finished this book smiling like a middle school girl who just received her first kiss on the cheek from a boy she’s smitten with! And I mean.. blushing hard reading the epilogue!!!!!!! Please. I want me an Angelo.

I thought the first book was good, but oh my goodness. This book was soooooooo good! 4.75 ⭐️— ONLY because I thought the ending was kind of similar to the first book.

Beth & Noah are such sweethearts!! Beth is a SURVIVOR, ok?.. I loved the way the way they started to get comfortable around each other.. from hugging.. to finally saying I love you!

ANGELO?!? I loved him from the first book!! And what a hunk of a man 😆 Filthy rich. Funny. Kinda possessive. HUGE! — when I read the first book, I knew I wanted to immediately read his book!

Ok update.. I gave it 5 ⭐️😂 it’s just too good.

Ready to read the third book!

I’ll finish reviewing later, I need to take a breather 😮‍💨

Another PERFECT book by Sj Tilly! She writes MEN.

[Gabby Cherenfant · Rating 5 out of 5]

Okay, this is my first 5 in a HAWT minute. I don't give 5 stars out loosely, it doesn't happen like that

this book taught me the meaning of love. I forget a lot of times what "I Love You" means, I thought it was something people say when they like each other acquaintances even. But it isn't like that at all. One has to be worthy of your love; it doesn't get said or passed around until the time is right and when you mean it. Anywho, this book was very beneficial to my life and my future as well. Although I will (probably) not find a man like Angelo (ngl I really hope I do lol) I can see the good qualities in someone else, and I'm only 15 years old but I'm way older in maturity and I need to remember to take life slower and not rush things. From the way things happened in my life, it caused me to grow up really fast but this book helped me remember that not everything is cupcakes ad rainbows but it's life and bad stuff will happen but it's up to you on how you navigate that, and that's my TED talk folks🤣

So, Noah just adds so much to the book that we didn't know we needed, like thank you Tillyyyy. it sucks so much that Beth couldn't watch him grow up but I feel like this book just makes up for lost time!

ALSO Can we all agree that Vincent is Nero in a alt world?!?! Bro is so iconic ✨

Gosh this book was so freaking good, like i'm flaburgasted. I need more of this frfr. But yeah, that's my review of this amazing book.

S.J. Tilly’s dialogue is what keeps me cruising through her books. It’s witty and real and really helps make the story. She fleshes out every character with such detail, I have no trouble picturing them in my mind. Don’t get me started on Angelo ;)

[Vicki (athousandbookishlives) · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m completely obsessed with this story… these characters… and SJ Tilly.

I was hooked from the very start and couldn’t get enough of the relationship dynamic between Beth & Angelo! This book had me squealing and giddy over how absolutely ✨delightful✨ Angelo was

There was the perfect balance of angst, drama, laughs, and romance! I couldn’t get enough and I never wanted it to end.

As always Michelle Sparks & Aiden Snow completely nailed their performances and brought these characters to life in phenomenal ways in the audiobook! (Dual narration)

You see I like to read about huge men a lot. And what If these huge men are written by one of my favorite authors in the world?
Can’t wait to dive in book 3.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Spice: 🌶️🌶️/5

I don’t know how S.J. Tilly does it, but somehow the stories and the characters keep getting better and better!

I was so excited when I learned this book was about Angelo. I loved him in the first book! Angelo is Vincent/Mr. Sin’s cousin. They have a brotherly bond and are really close. Angelo is head of security, and another thing about Angelo is that he is big… like really big… 👀

This story is about Beth and Angelo. Beth has been through it. She’s a survivor and is trying her best to make a fresh start with a new place, a new job… and a new crush?
Angelo is a big, hard man - but, on the inside, he is just a big softie. He’s kind of possessive but in a way that made my heart ache. That man is the definition of “swoon-worthy”.
Angelo and Beth’s chemistry is incredible. Their push-pull was perfection and the spice was so hot! The passion, angst, and just the emotional aspect of this book were incredible.

This is a romance with so many layers. And again, I was hooked from page one. The story is well-written, and the characters are just sublime. I love it when a side character becomes a bigger part of the story without taking any “space” from the main characters, and S.J.Tillly masters this to perfection.

I highly recommend it if you want to read a softish romance, with some spicy and darker aspects intertwined. So so good!

i was excited to read this after finishing Mr Sin earlier this month, but the fact that i had to force myself to actually finish it bothers me so much especially since i love reading about other members of the same group or family so this was just disappointing

I love rereading a book to find out it wasn’t as good as it was the first time bc now my tastes has matured

100 Stars! Sooooo Incredible!!!

This is amazing! Angelo and Beth are the perfect couple. Their back and forth is hilarious. She gives just as good as he does. The uncertainty even of their relationship at times was funny, because they are so perfect for each other!! Angelo is a huge hunk of love. He comes off all tough, but he is a wicked softy for Beth and Noah and I loved every second of it.

This book is everything I didn’t know I needed. It has mystery, intrigue, sadness, happiness, humor but most of all LOVE! You get to see Vincent and Sasha from book 1 again and meet Angelo’s Mom, who you can tell takes to Beth and Noah immediately. You see Angelo want to do everything to protect Beth. You see Beth who has been to hell and back and moves to Minnesota to start fresh, try to navigate her new life of being a surrogate Mom to Noah. You see Noah who is so sweet and such a good kid, trying to protect Beth and fit into this new life. It is amazing.

Noah was my favorite part of the book. I cried so hard reading everything he is going through. SJ wrote him so perfectly. I would love love love a second generation series for Noah and Annie (Vincent’s daughter) because they bring such heart to these books in the Sin series. Noah literally has been through so much, and he takes to Beth and wants to protect her as much as she wants to protect him.

This was more than just a beautiful love story, this was a found family, genius, fun, on the edge of my seat, smiling ear to ear story. Angelo will have you drooling. Beth will have you wanting to reach in the book and hug her. Absolutely incredible! Every S.J. Tilly book I read is my favorite! And this is definitely at the top of my all time favorite booklist. So good!

"I have a job for you. There's this girl."

Gawwwwd, this book was good. I loved the first book in this series but this one maybe edged it out a little. Angelo, the huge, muscled bodyguard type kind of stole my heart.

"'You're not going out there so some perverted stranger can get a taste of your pussy. No.' I pour another shot and tip it back. 'You can ride my dick, get it out of your system.'...I will rip the limbs off any man that tries to touch my fucking woman."

Well that, and Beth get kidnapped. I love kidnapping stories. Girl gets taken, alpha guy freaks (and realizes his feelings), then saves her with all the tenderness and the worry and the care. Ahhhh, I want to be kidnapped and saved like that. I know, totally messed up, but I love it.

Then you add in the story of Beth's brother, her boyfriend, her nephew, and Uncle Enzo. It's just so good. There is an alpha security expert, hurt girl, orphaned teenager, kidnapping, roofies, suspense, mystery, hockey, dogs, and some seriously hot sex.

Book 3 comes out soon and I can't wait.

Okay it’s official, I love Sj Tilly. Not in the I love her writing way but more in the I’d read the scribble of her signature on a receipt because that’s how much I love her way.

Was this my favorite book by her? No BUT this girl could do absolutely no wrong and I will stand by that until I’m proven wrong. My intent to read her entire backlist gets stronger by each day.

The crumbs we got in the last story for Angelo got me so excited to read his story. The way he is describe holy mother of god. Angelo is tasked with the request to simply watch out for this girl while she is at work, little does he know she is his exact type and keeping his well planned distance becomes harder by the moment. We get some amazing body guard, protector moments with this book and I couldn’t have been happier.

Beth is a girl on the run (one of my favorite types of girls) with her nephew when push comes to shove and Angelo slowly inserts into her life. I loved the tension between them in the beginning and the scene in her office wow wow wow. This book was so cute even with the slow impending doom crushing you. It had some good Christmas vibes towards the end which I adored.

If you see me start the third book tomorrow, no you didn’t.

[Carolyn Norman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book started slower than the first one probably because it had a more detailed backstory. But once it got started it really took off. So much so I sat for 5 straight hours and read because it was that good!

Beth is the FMC whose boyfriend and brother are killed in 2 separate car accidents hours apart. She finds out she has a teenage nephew that she’s never met because she and her brother are estranged. Once they’re lives are threatened, she moves from Philly to Minneapolis to be near her Uncle.

Angelo is the MMC and is Vincent’s Head of Security at Mazzanti headquarters. He was part of Mr Sin which is the first book in the series. Angelo is smart, kind and 6’8” and 350 lbs. His Uncle Enzo asks him to watch over Beth when she’s at work without letting her know.

- of course the deceit is found out AFTER Angelo and Beth get involved
- of course the romance is hot, heavy and very sexy
- all of the characters from Mr Sin are prominent in this book
- the relationship between Beth and her nephew Noah is interesting to watch develop
- loved the “mafia” twist and how it affects Noah, Beth’s and Angelo

I really liked this book. Moving on to the last one in the series.
