Shipley's Sins

by Jen Simmons

Malcolm’s secret love for his brother’s girl has the power to destroy their strong bond. But the love these two brothers have is too strong to let anything come between them. After thirteen weeks in boot camp, Malcolm returns home with his brothers to heartache and despair. His need to protect his family intensifies his determination to succeed in the military and has him forming bonds and relationships that could ruin the very family he strives to protect.
As his continued secrets turn to sins, he makes decisions that will alter the very life he cherishes.

All Sal wants is to be with the love of his life, Clara. After losing his mother so young, he holds Clara close to him as they start a life together. Sal equally loves his brother Malcolm, but will the love tangled between these three lives be the destruction of their relationship? And will Sal and Malcolm’s bond survive the years of secrets and sins between them?

Clara has had enough pain and loss in her short eighteen years of life. The fear of losing someone else she loves causes her to keep the love she has for Sal, and the devoted friendship she has with his brother Malcolm, close to her heart. But will the decisions Malcolm make to protect Clara and Sal be the very thing that tears them apart? Can their love for each other stand the ultimate test and survive the continued suffering their lives have always endured?

Shipley's Sins starts right off where the first book ended. Then it came back around to there the first book started. I had so many emotions while reading it, I literally cried when malcolm lost his bestfriend/ brother and girlfriend at once. And cried again when he thought he lost clara also. I just wanted to hold him. I personally liked it better then the first. BUT you NEED to read the first one to fully understand the 2nd one and to feel complete with the story.

Shipley’s Sins is a must read! This story sucked me in from the start and I could not put it down! I laughed and cried; was overjoyed and heartbroken; I was shocked and surprised. If you enjoyed Shipley’s Secrets, you will absolutely love Shipley’s Sins! If you haven’t read either one, what are you waiting for? Get your copies now!

4.5 stars

If you haven't read book 1 then you should otherwise you won't get the same feelings. Everything changes and if you thought to know what was next, then you're wrong. This story is so emotional, more than the first I'll dare to say. But I loved the ending and how the author makes us wonder what are they up to.

This is book 2 and it picks up exactly where Shipley's Secrets left off (book one). The connection with the characters was still there so much that a little over half way through the book the Author has me bawling like a baby until the end!!. For me these are all great signs of not only a great book but a great Author because making the reader feel is hard to do. I was sad but really happy with the ending! I do hope the Author can do the same for me in future books. If you don't buy book 1 and book 2 and love them you are crazy. This has got to be my favorite 2 book series of this year.

Book 1 was amazing, but this one was even better. The emotional journey with the characters will leave a lasting impact. The character development is so strong, you find yourself feeling everything they are. This is one you will stay up way too late reading because you have to know what happens.
