A fast, short second chance read. Sometimes MC romance can be a little much, but because this is a short story it's very easy to read. Sin and Charlie are also amazing characters, I couldn't put the book down. And it's enough of an emotional roller coaster considering it's a short book. I really enjoyed their story. Though I have not read any of the books in the series, I have no problem following through the story.

3.75 stars--SIN’S SACRIFICE by Ella Kade (Harlow Layne) is a contemporary, adult, erotic, MC romance novella found in the multi-authored DIAMOND KINGS MC series. This is Diamond Kings MC VP Sin Matthews, and art gallery assistant Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Hunter’s story line. SIN’S SACRIFICE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Charlie and Sin) SIN’S SACRIFICE follows the rescue and recovery of Charlotte Hunter. Charlie and Sin were high school sweethearts but Sin pushed Charlotte out of his life knowing that the woman he loved was too good for the life of the MC. Fast forward ten years, and Charlie finds herself sold to the Satan’s Savages, sold as payment for a debt owed. Charlie only knows of one person capable of rescue, so she contacts the man she used to love. Enter Sin Matthews. What ensues is the rescue of, and rekindling relationship between Charlie and Sin, and the potential fall-out as Charlie struggles with a direction in life, and Sin finds himself the target of revenge.

The relationship between Charlie and Sin is one of second chances. Sin Matthews has never stopped loving our story line heroine but the life of an MC is hard, and Sin never wanted Charlie to experience the life he chose for himself. Rekindling their relationship means placing Charlie in the direct line of fire, a line that once crossed, there is no going back. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense.

We are introduced to a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters most of whom are members of the Diamond Kings MC including their president Ruin.

SIN’S SACRIFICE is a story of second chances, betrayal, vengeance and love. The fast paced premise is entertaining ; the characters are enthusiastic and energetic; the romance is provocative and steamy.

Incredible to say that an MC story is sweet but that’s what this one is. It starts nasty, with Charlotte sold in payment of a debt, but when she calls her ex-boyfriend Sin for help, he comes running, saves her, and we start on a sweet second chance story.

Sin and Charlie had been high school sweethearts, but Sin knew she was headed to college and dreams of a career in art. He was headed to join an motorcycle club and knew he would hold her back. So, he dumped her, letting her go to achieve her dreams. Ten years later, she calls in the middle of the night, from a holding of a rival MC, the worst one there is, asking for help.

Living in the protection of Sin’s MC ranch, Charlie starts to see what Sin’s life is like. She knew he had joined the Diamond Kings MC and thought it was a scary club full of scary guys. Soon, she started to realize they are nice, decent men. Then the troubles with the Satan’s Savages start, Sin is determined to protect her and she is determined to keep her independence. Fun games!

I loved this story! It has its creepy MC moments, but this club has better standards than other clubs. They are brothers who would die for one another. And since Charlie is the woman Sin loves, they would die for her too. Since both are estranged from their families, this fills an empty hole in their lives. I was riveted and read it in one sitting, that’s how entertaining it is. I love stories of alpha men who are felled by a sweet woman with a spine of iron! Great story!

Sin's Sacrifice is a short(ish) read that packed a big punch. Did I want more pages?! Absolutely! See, I LOVED Sin & Charlie so much that I didn't want it to end LOL! Sin & Charlie were high school sweethearts, but he decided to make the decision (I wanted to choke him out) for both of them by dumping her because he didn't believe his life joining the Diamond Kings MC would be good enough for her, so he broke her heart. It's been ten years since that unfortunate moment in time, and out of the blue, Charlie calls him as she needs help escaping from another MC. Of course Sin never stopped loving her so he rescues her so maybe just maybe they have a second chance together. Of course this is a MC romance so there's danger & revenge that gives action & twists coming in hot, emotional goodness because of the past, and the heat tying it up in an entertaining bow! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Steamy second chance romance with MC Rival War mixed in.

If you like a short quick read this is a nice steamy good one to grab. You get some drama and action mixed into this fast paced romance.

Charlie and Sin were once high school sweethearts with Sin being from the wrong side of the tracks. These two have a history and fast forward ten years later Charlie finds herself thrown into serious trouble that only Sin can help her get out of. An all out war between Sin's MC and their rival MC starts when they both want the same girl and Sin just wants to keep his woman safe. These two bring a ton of heat throughout this quick read.

You find yourself pulled into this little world watching two people who have still been in love with each other for the last decade finally find a HEA amidst all the chaos they are surrounded by.

This the perfect weekend or summer day read with all the feels and a guaranteed HEA. Grab it and enjoy this quick second chance romance with a little drama/action mixed in. I voluntarily signed up for an ARC to give an honest review with nothing to gain.

Really not sure how to put my feelings into words after reading Sin's Sacrifice. This book had so much going on that there was never a dull moment From the moment Sin answered his phone the action and angst was intense.

I loved everything about this one. Hot bikers, club rivalries, a beautiful damsel in distress, murder and mayhem.....what more could a girl ask for. The chemistry between Sin and Charlie was so strong that I could feel it radiating from the pages.

I was kept on the edge of my seat from start to finish.

[Amy [Book Addict Reviews] · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sin and Charlotte have a history, yet neither of them have spoken to each other in a decade. Until Charlotte doesn’t know who else to call.

I loved this world. The Diamond Kings MC is truly a close family and they will do anything to keep each other safe and have each others backs. When Charlotte arrives at the ranch she quickly becomes included in this group.

I love Sin and Charlotte. Despite the years that they have been apart there is still a ton of chemistry between them. You can tell they still care about each other, however, they are also living completely different lives. I loved seeing the reconnect after this time and the protectiveness of Sin when it came to Charlotte. Though, when I got to the end I found myself wanting more of them and their story!

If you’re looking for a second chance, MC romance this is one to check out.

[Kylee · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a second chance love story based in the MC world. Sin and Charlie’s story has a little of everything from grit, drama, chaos and let’s not forget passion. These two have chemistry that not even ten years can diminish. A story that starts off with keeping someone you care about safe and takes a beautiful turn when you realize you can’t deny what your heart as been missing since you walked away. Their story is filled with heat and steam and some witty banter to gave you captivated right to the end.

A short, sweet, and sexy second chance romance with some MC action you won't be able to put down. Charlie and Sin took my heart and I loved reading their story.

[Misty (Reds Romance Reviews) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Charlie was the girl he let get away back in high school, he thought it was for a good reason at the time, but the last ten years have taught him different. She haunts him in his dreams at night and no matter how many girls have came along after her he's never been able to push her out of his mind. Then one night out of blue she calls, needs his help, and he drops everything to save her. Not realizing his heroics might cause a turf war...

Sin's Sacrifice is a steamy second chance romance that packs a nice little emotional punch. My heart was in this one from the get-go, I mean what is not to love about a sexy bad a** biker saving the woman who got away. Sin is the kind of guy that romance readers dream of finding between the pages, he's strong, caring, determined, protective, handsome, and equipped with a heart that only beats for one woman. I loved watching these two find their way back to one another, their story had me swooning the whole way through!! I cannot wait to meet more of the men from the Diamond Kings MC!! Highly recommend this one, it's perfectly penned words are destined to squeeze your heart and leave you thoroughly satisfied!!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.

Sin and Charlette were high school sweethearts, until he let her go to follow her dreams, and he joins the Diamond Kings. When Charlie is sold as payment of a debt, she calls Sin for help, where he does not hesitate to come to her rescue. The chemistry between these two is off the charts and they complement each other perfectly. When a rival MC brings danger, Sin is determined to do whatever he must to keep Charlie safe and protected. This is a well written 2nd chance story, with family, friendships, loyalty, danger, suspense, intrigue, action, and love, which leads to a sweet and endearing page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

[Jackie Wright · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sin’s Sacrifice is Diamond Kings MC VP, Sin Matthews and art gallery assistant Charlotte ( Charlie) Hunter’s journey. This book is part of the Diamond Kings Series but it can certainly be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone.
When Charlie finds herself in trouble it’s her ex boyfriend Sin who comes to her rescue and that’s the start if this sweet yet steamy, emotional second chance at love story. Sin and Charlie were high school sweethearts but he was destined for life in an MC and she was going off to college to study art and he loved her enough to walk away rather than hold her back so will she understand and give him a chance and will she allow him to protect her when danger rears it’s ugly head…..
A captivating, fast paced story with wonderful characters. I will certainly checking out the rest of the series as soon as time permits.

Do you love MC Romances with a mix of second chances? If you do, please give this one a chance, you won’t be disappointed in it. MC romance novella found in the multi-authored DIAMOND KINGS MC series. This is Diamond Kings MC VP Sin Matthews, and art gallery assistant Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Hunter’s story line.

Ella hit each and every emotion that you can think of in this book, I wanted to scream, I laughed and teared up some. She had me on the edge of my seat throughout the book. I loved reading about Matthew and Charlie’s relationship blossoming into something. They have many hurdles to overcome and reading about it was jaw dropping. Were they able to get past the hurdles or was it just going to burn?

4 star review of Sin's Sacrifice (Diamond Kings MC) by Ella Kade
Ella Kade is a relatively new author to me but what I have read I have enjoyed. This is Diamond Kings MC VP Sin Matthews and art gallery assistant Charlotte (Charlie) Hunter’s story , I have not read any of the other books in this series but had no trouble reading this as a stand alone.
This is a second chance at love story and was an entertaining read. It was certainly hot and steamy and although not a long book Ms.Kade packed a lot into it. Sin never forgot the one he let get away and when Charlie asks for his help, he doesn’t hesitate.
The story is fast paced and will draw you in and keep you invested from the first to the last chapter.

[Cinderella (Nysa Bookish) · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love a good MC story and this is my first time reading this author. The story started out smooth and kept me intrigued, but the climax in my opinion came a bit too early. Everything that came after could have been a better build-up to the climax and shown a bit more chemistry between the two characters as it was sorely lacking. Overall, the writing was good, and I hope the author evolves in her future books.

[Gsmitty · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sin's Sacrifice by Ella Kade is a second chance romance that absolutely tugged at my heart strings! Sin and Charlotte are WOW.

It's jam-packed with action, drama, mystery, intrigue, loyalty, love, devotion, and chemistry that sizzles!

Sin is hardened, is focused on his work and his brothers, and facing his past is a whirlwind he doesn't quite know how to manage.

Charlotte is sweet as can be, stuck in a difficult situation, and doesn't know what to make of the man from her past, the man that was once her everything.

It's fast paced, it's captivating, it's a wild ride! So, hop on and hold on!

P. S. Definitely going to need to check out these other brothers and their journeys to HEA.

[Amanda Davanzati · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sin’s Sacrifice was a quick, steamy, enjoyable read. If you like second chances, MCs, and steamy dirty words this book is for you!

I love getting to meet these characters, Sin and Charlotte. You could definitely tell they care for one another deeply even with a complicated history. This group of characters in the Diamond Kings MC world is definitely like a family. They put each other first and are there no matter what. This book definitely held true to an MC as readers would know.

I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the other characters of the MC. I think other reader should give this book a try.

Sin’s Sacrifice is a motorcycle club, second chance, romantic suspense story. It has all the elements we expect from an Ella Cade book. It is a pretty short, fast-paced read with steamy, erotic passages and a happy ending. The characters are easy to empathize with, despite my difficulty believing a young woman with a sheltered upbringing would easily settle down with a group engaged in criminal enterprises. I believe the message is that love conquers all. It is definitely worth the read. I liked it and you will too. I am voluntarily submitting this review after reading an advanced complementary copy of this book.

In Sin’s Sacrifice Charlie needs help she calls the one person who she knows will be there for her Sin. Sin tries to keep Charlie away from his MC lifestyle at all costs to him but when she calls for help, he goes to her even after ten years apart. But in order to save Charlie Sin will need his MC brothers help with another MC who claims Charlie as their own. But force together will bring up old feelings and make them face their past together. Once everything is done, they will find out their hearts still belong to each other. Even though this is standalone in the Diamond Kings MC series I recommend reading rest of the series.

We have wasted so much time.

Sin is in a MC called Diamond Kings. And Charlie is an assistant in an art gallery she loves. They have been separate for ten years. Sin pushed her away because he wanted to have all her dreams. He felt he was no good enough for her. Charlie boyfriend sold her as payment for a debt he owed to a rival motorcycle club. She called the only person she knew could save her, Sin. Both characters are awesome. The sex sense are numerous and over the top, these two love each other and Sin finally admitting it. I couldn’t put this short book down, I love the story!!!!!

[Nedra81 · Rating 4 out of 5]

An enjoyable quick and steamy read! Ella’s writing style has always been enjoyable and easy to read, which is evident right away with this novella. MC stories are normally longer, but Ella gives just the right amount of information for the reader to enjoy this second chance romance.

Sin and Charlie were what motorcycle life was made of. The sacrifices made on both their parts, the emotions felt from both POV’s, and the betrayal aspect was intense! But, Ella cannot write a story without steamy erotic romance, and she nails it once again! Excited to see what the side characters are up to in their respective stories!

[Petra · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sin’s Sacrifice is part of The Diamond Kings Ranch series, written by various authors.

This was a quick read for me. I liked Sin and Charlie together. And although he broke her heart ten years ago, he did so for a reason. But after he comes to her rescue, the feelings they still have for one another can’t be denied.
It’s set in a bikers environment (Diamond Kings MC), and there is some violence as well, but overall it’s a really enjoyable story with a few steamy scenes. Loved the epilogue!

I received an arc of this book and this is my voluntary and honest opinion.

I really enjoyed this really quick second chance MC novella. It was fast paced and I liked both the MC's I'd love to know more about the rest of the club and there's not a lot of angst in this, despite how much I feel like there should have been a touch more. I like this author's work and this was exactly what I needed today. I volunteered to read and review an early copy of this. All opinions are my own.

Sin's Sacrifice is a hot second chance novella set in the Diamond Kings MC, Sin is sinfully hot, and the King's dark and dangerous VP, Charlotte , is the art gallery owner that stole Sin's heart all those years ago in school, but he was the one to break her heart when he ended their relationship, now Charlotte is in danger, and she calls the one man that she never stopped loving, the heat is back on the danger growing but this time Sin is not walking away, the secondary characters of the MC were as intrigue to the story as Sin and Charlotte, as we got a glimpse of the men behind the Diamond Kings MC.

[Ashley Carr, LSoR · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and it won’t be the last. She sets her second chance book in the already established Diamond King MC world. Charlie and Sin were high school sweethearts but Sin realized club life wasn’t for a girl like Charlie. They lost touch but she was never far from his heart so when out of the blue she calls him in a panic he drops everything to protect her. Him and his club go above and beyond to save her from a rival club. Will they get that second chance at love they’ve been denied?
