Sins of a Rebel

A Rebel's Havoc #1.5

by Brooke O'Brien

A previous cover edition for this ASIN can be found here

USA Today Bestselling author Brooke O'Brien brings all the sexual tension and forbidden vibes this brother's best friend, rock star romance.

Kyla Cole is my best friend’s sister, which makes her completely off limits.

She's sassy, sweet, and has a body made for sin.

All these years I’ve kept her at a distance. I’m not blind. I notice the way she looks at me, her lingering stares from across the room. If her brother had any idea about the things I’ve dreamed of doing with her, I’d never make it out alive.

I’ve heard it countless times. No one like her could ever possibly love me.

I warned her to stay away from me, but she’s never been one to listen. The more I’m around her, the harder it is for me to remember all the reasons why.

We’re playing a dangerous game going down this road.

I’ve never been one to play by the rules.

Author's Note: Sins of a Rebel is an optional prequel novella to Tysin and does end with a cliffhanger. You do not have read it first, but it does help the storyline.

While the rest of the A Rebels Havoc series can be read as standalones, if you prefer to read in order, start with Brix as the stories do interconnect.

🟣 no promises made so no cheating…but…expectations after the deed…?🧐
🟣 oh well, he did warn her…🧟‍♀️

Him:
- when she catches him red handed mid ménage à trois
- on the very couch they spent the night together
- “You should’ve known what you would be walking into when you showed up here unannounced.”
- “You should’ve listened to me the first time I told you I’d only break your heart.”

Then he proceeds to touch the h (intimately😉) with unwashed hands
Then she proceeds to let him
Then her body betrays her and he’s wound up already, so….#doingthedeed
Then she leaves…
The he lets her leave…
Until the next instalment…

the world would be a better place if men went to therapy

[Cindie Wenger · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow, just wow! I truly admire Kyla’s strength and determination when she finds Tysin cheating. I love that she truly walks away and doesn’t allow herself to be used any longer. Tysin He’s a real piece of work. I’m sure he has his reasons which we will find out later but for now… He is just wrong totally wrong. Can’t wait to find out what happens next

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

I absolutely love Kyla and Tysin’s story. It is spicy, angsty, and bringing the forbidden vibes from the start.

The two of them have a ton of chemistry and a connection. They have known each other forever. Kyla’s brother is best friends and bandmates with Tysin and she is completely off limits.

This is a quick read and really provides some insight and background into Kyla and Tysin’s history. I can’t wait to continue their story in Tysin and see what is in store for these two.

If you’re looking for a brothers best friend, forbidden prequel novella this is one to check out.

[Lori · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! This is a great teaser for Tysin and Kyla's story. Just a few chapters and it's HOT!!! Can't wait for the next book to continue this story.

[Josmely · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was the perfect teaser for the next book!!! It left me wanting more, I wanna learn more about tysins past, if they are gonna finally get together.

I admire Kyla for being able to walk away from him when she realizes that he's only taking from her and not giving her enough.

[Renee's Reading Nook · Rating 5 out of 5]

I could not put this down at all. It was so good. Kyla is so head over heels for Tysin and it made me so happy to see them together. The fact that he continuously wants to keep their relationship a secret so her brother doesn't find out is a big red flag of where this going. Include the fact that he believes he not good enough for her and it becomes much less happy. Even with all of that I still give it five ⭐️. The spice was amazing too, Tysin is one hell of a dirty talker 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶!

[Geri Stoikova · Rating 5 out of 5]

Totally a five star ⭐ read
Sins of a Rebel by Brooke O'Brien is a great prequel to Tysin and Kyla's story . The story has everything that you expect from a rock star romance - all the feelings, angst and hot 🔥 and spicy moments. Tysin is the ultimate rock star in the making with his ups and downs , loyal and messed up in the same time . Kyla is smart , strong and sassy . She takes the chance to be with the man she loves even though that leads to heartbreak . She has the strength to leave and never look back . She's totally my hero . And I can't wait to read Tysin to see what happens next .

[Tinkerbell · Rating 4 out of 5]

When I’m writing this review, I’m already half way through Tysin. And let me tell you, when Brooke says you have to read SOAR first, she is not joking.

It only has 10 chapters, but my God … they are enough to make me feel all kinds of emotions

As it’s only a prequel to Tysin, it’s a short story and so is my review ☺️

We obviously find out that Tysin and Kyla starts having a fling behind her brother’s back ( who is in the same band as Tysin)
He is one of the many reasons why Tysin thinks he and Kyla doesn’t have a future.
All he can offer is s*x and nothing more.
He does warn her that he would only break her heart but she doesn’t listen.

Oh but she should have …

Go and grab Sins Of A Rebel now and make sure you preorder Tysin too. It’s coming to KU on 23 September

[Brandi-Lynn Weiser · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved reading Brix and was anxiously waiting for Tysin’s story.
Tysin is best friends with Madden, Kyla’s brother, and have known Kyla since they were kids. He’s in the band Rebels Havoc with Madden and Brix. Kyla’s always had a crush on Tysin, but to Tysin she was off limits because she was Maddens little sister. But 2 years prior everything changed between them and they both gave into their feelings. Tysin never admitted his though and left her thinking she was just another good time and broke her heart. Not knowing she was also keeping a secret.
Now 2 years later, she’s engaged and also agrees to go on tour with Rebels Havoc for 3 months. It’s only 3 months right, what can happen? Everything!
This was a really good book and when Tysin finally opened up to Kyla about his past and let himself stop thinking he wasn’t good enough, that was the best part. I can’t wait to read Trey’s story next and I’m really excited for Madden’s.

[Summerlynn83_reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a novella I didn’t know I needed! The slow burn/push and pull between Tysin and Kyla was had me completely engrossed from the first page. Their chemistry was steamy and connection made me swoon. However, I wasn’t prepared for that ending or my immediate heartbreak.
Thank goodness their story isn’t over because although I loved the strength that Kyla showed when faced with her nightmare I still feel like there is so more these two characters need to show me and I am ready to read it.

[J.p · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great little tease to Tysin and Kylas story. Glad to read a little bit about their background. Best friends younger sister forbidden romance but that doesn’t stop these two. The heart wants what the heart wants - even if it gets broken into a thousand pieces. Doesn’t end on a cliffhanger as such as it’s a prequel to Tysin the next book after Brix. Teaser worth reading imo. Seriously hot chemistry.

[Abi · Rating 5 out of 5]

THAT ENDING. I'm glad I got an ARC for Tysin early because I need to move on from that cliffhanger, woof 😮‍💨

[Sheila Schoenauer · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is definitely one way to make me wanna read more. I'm looking forward to Tysin falling to his knees and finally admitting he's in love with Kyra.

[Jenny · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book, I've enjoyed every Brooke O'Brien book I've read. Normally I read HEA books but Brooke warned this wouldn't be one. I can't wait for Tysin to come out next week!!

[April · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this intro into this couple’s story. I’m one of those readers who always wants more about the characters. I live for the backstory and drama.

[Court Small · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you like the main characters’ back stories and want to know what came before…this is a MUST READ before picking up Tysin. So glad I read this first as it definitely enhanced my reading experience of Tysin.

[Sherrie Watkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sins of a Rebel is an Optional Prequel Novella to Tysin and does end with a Cliffhanger. You do not have to read it first, but it does Help The Storyline. I can’t wait to Continue Their Story in Tysin and see how Their Hea unfolds. All the Angst and Forbidden vibes had Me hooked from the Chapter! I'm really hoping Tysin Redeems himself cause I see so much Love in him just trying to fight its way out. Loved this backstory insight.. I Love these characters and can't wait to Read more.. DefinitelyYour Next 5 ⭐ Read..

[TELA666 · Rating 4 out of 5]

A quick read to set up the history between Tysin and Kyle for Tysin. I liked that the focus was very much just on the couple and the plot wasn't needlessly drawn out. Kyla also wasn't written to be a naive doormat.

[Samantha Hickey · Rating 5 out of 5]

I cant wait for more of Kyla and Tysin!!

Sins of a Rebel is an optional prequel novella to Tysin.

Kyla and Tysin have wanted each other for the longest time, but she is off limits since she is his best friends little sister.

When they finally give in, it's HOT and the connection between them is intense, but it has to be a secret.

Kyla doesn't want to be a secret, Tysin doesnt think he deserves her and when Kyla catches him in a compromising position, she gets her heart broken and leaves.

I cant wait for more!!! I love the A Rebels Havoc series and Brooke always knocks it outta the park!

[Donna reads Romance · Rating 5 out of 5]

Tantalizing and Addictive!

This prequel to Tysin’s story is gripping, alluring and engaging!!
Tysin and Kyla’s story is consuming, heart wrenching and intense.
OMG these characters are positively addictive and hella sexy!
This little teaser into Tysin is so naughty and entertaining.
Brooke I am loving these two!! First it was Brix and Ivy and now we have another couple that’s going to tear us apart and then leave us breathless.
Thank you for sharing such a remarkable book with us🥰

[Lori · Rating 5 out of 5]

This novella is a prequel to Tysin in the A Rebels Havoc series and should be read in between Brix and Tysin. It is not required reading but please, please, please read it because if you don't Tysin will NOT be the same, I promise you. The chemistry between Tysin and Kyla is so hot it burns you on the page! Brooke O'Brien is totally amazing. The heat between her main characters is incredible. I can't wait to read the rest of her books!!

[Darlene Palmer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story is a slow start of push and pull between Tysin and Kyla.
What a great introduction to who these characters are.
The story (a great prequel) steamy at times, you can visualize their feelings but you can't the heartbreak.
This story will keep you chomping at the bit for the full story in Tysin.

[Desiree · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW this a great teaser. I couldn’t put it down and I couldn’t wait to start Tysin. So much emotion and angst. They clearly care for each other they have off the wall chemistry. If only they would sit and talk about the hard stuff. They are perfect together they fit.

[Danielle Robbins · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sins of a Rebel is the prequel novella for Tysin and Kyla. These two have wanted each other for years but Kyla is off limits because Tysin is best friends with her brother Madden. The push and pull between them was great. Looking forward to reading their book!

[Fiction Vixen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rating: 3.5 ⭐

Tysin is a red flag and Kyla is colour blind...
But I still loved it... I am going to start this whole series now. Cz im curious about Brix and Ivy...

P.S. if this happens to you in real life run the other way never look back. 😂😂

[Kristen Miller · Rating 3 out of 5]

This novella was ok. It set up the story for Tysin (which I enjoyed a lot more) I think Tysin was just a huge dick at the end of the book which didn’t sit right with me. But I get that he “had to” to set up the actual story

[Caroline Burt · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great insight into Kyla and Tysin back story. I read this before Tysin as I thought it would help me get to know the characters better. Fantastic short and steamy read... Enjoy

[Nerdy Norie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm so hooked! I cannnnnnot with Tysin right now! I love when a book has you all emotional like it was your bestie who was upset by her man! lol! I can't wait to see what happens in Tysin!
