She’ll soon learn that being a princess locked away in a tower doesn’t keep the monsters at bay, they always find their way in.

Nova and her boys turned each other's lives upside down, creating one h*ll of a chaos. This was a fast-paced story with steam, twists, and unveiled secrets. A very secluded girl meets her other halves in the form of four very dangerous guys. It was fun witnessing Nova growing a backbone as her boys slowly shattered in pieces for her. This is a bully / enemies-to-lovers romance. The book is filled with threatening, unruly feelings and so much denial.

This wasn’t an insta-love but the attraction was evident from the first chapter. Still, there was so much banter and push-and-pull between them. Although all sides tried their hardest to avoid any feelings, in the end, the boys were utterly obsessed with their girl, offering her the attention she unconsciously craved.

The writing wasn’t my usual cup of tea. It’s not what I usually enjoy, so I was a bit out of my preferences. I just felt that the story was a bit rushed and rough because of the writing style. It left me confused at times. Still, the story was interesting and fast and I will return for the second book, especially after that cliffhanger.

Holy heck what did I just read?
This book was so much of everything and that ending!!!

One naïve innocent lady (Nova) whose father is the Mayor of the town they live in which he rules with an iron fist. One night she inadvertently gets the attention of the bad boys in town, and this is where the story gets interesting.

The Sinners have a reputation in town for being dangerous and very rightly so, they become seriously and intensely focused on Nova. What ensues is an interesting, angst-filled, and very dangerous steamy ride that ends with a cliffhanger making me want ... no NEED for the next book like yesterday.

Highly recommend this book and again another new author to me, so I will definitely be looking up her other books.

Nova decided to take a late night walk and she stumbles upon a meeting that she watches someone get killed. She tries to run home, but she is chased by The Sinner (Kingston, Cassius, Sebastian, & Jordy) once caught she has a choice to be in their debt or die. She promises to not tell anyone, but the boys need reassures plus they become her shadow on campus staking their claim on their property. The Sinners are on a mission for their freedom to be won back from the man who now controls them. But first they need to gather evidence against him to take him down. With Nova in their beds and pockets they just may have the ammo needed to get exactly what they want while ruining Nova In the process. The crazy part is the mutual hate, and blackmail turns to more than they all bargain for.


This was steamy from the beginning and the way the bombs kept dropping towards the end was crazy. The Sinners were those type of characters that you want to hate, but you couldn't as their past story came into the picture. I think the nicknames they gave her was HAWT like the fact these big linebacker men were all wanting her was amazing and terrifying. The HAWTness between these men was scorching. I have to read the next book because that cliffhanger was a whopper!

Oh holy Wow!! Ok first this is the first book I've read by this author that I know of and holy moly!!! I absolutely loved it.... ok that cliffhanger was a heart stopper but besides that which we all know most of us have a love/hate relationship with those anyway. Because let's admit it they might make us all mad and growly because we have to wait to see what happens if we read the book early. But lord do they get our motor running and heart pumping. And we are left wanting more and what reader doesn't want that? And then those boys the Sinners.  Oh lord yeah they are a$$holes but we all love them especially when they start getting all sweet. And Nova has found her some keepers. Now let's hope she gets to keep them all. I just really need to know what is gonna happen now. So I really do need the next book sooner than later. I also loved that we got all the multiple pov's that was amazing because I live knowing how all of these characters are feeling and what they are thinking.  So hat's off to you Tara you did an amazing job on this book and I am do looking forward to the next book and also to look into your other books!! I highly highly recommend this book!!

Secrets always come back to haunt you. Secrets never stayed buried as much as you try. Then add in the twists and you’re over. Nova never meant to be intertwined with the Sinners. But that’s just what happened. And the Sinners never thought they would want her as much as they did. This book is about lies, secrets and forbidden relationships. It’s steamy and makes you want to get a fan and an ice glass of water. So sit back and enjoy this twisted, dark and forbidden romance. It’s one not to be missed.

Lies, secrets, and deceit all make up this explosive story that will have you going wtf!! When Nova sees something that wasn't meant for her eyes the Sinners set out to make her life a living hell. Nova was never meant to be mixed in with them, but they were never supposed to fall for her either. This book will leave you needing a cold shower because of how spicy and steamy it is. And that cliffhanger. I swear the ending was everything and then some. Run, don't walk, and grab your copy today.

We All Fall Down is a RH starring Nova and The Sinners. Nova is protected by her father and just about everyone around her. Until
one night she witnesses something she wasn’t supposed to. Enter the Sinners, 4 untouchable bad boys that fall hard for her. There are a lot of twists and turns. And times I felt a little disconnected from the characters and story. I did enjoy the characters, storylines and steamy scenes! I’m excited to grab book 2 and see how it all ends.

(Arc provided by ds book promo)

This book was filled with secrets and a couple of plottwist that I was not expecting. Even though the writing itself wasn't my favorite I was still able to really enjoy the book.

This is a enemies to lovers reverse harem. The relationship between Nova and her guys really sweet in the way that everyone fell in love little by little till they just couldn't hide it anymore. That being said the book wasn't sweet 😭 BUT everything that the guys did to her from choking her to "marking" her she loved.

The real romance didn't start right away which I really liked cause it made the book not feel rushed at all. There's also a lot of stuff going on plot wise so you are never going to be bored. I spent the entire book trying to figure out what was really happening and what everyone was hiding.

Definitely going to be reading the next book!!

This was so good from the first page leading up to that explosive cliffhanger ending this book had me on the edge. This is my first book by this arthur and wow did she bring her A game. I swear I'm still reeling from that ending it was just so good.

Nova Cohen has found herself mixed up with the 4 bad boy's known as The Sinners...Kingston, Sebastian, Cassius, Jordan. She was a witness to something she shouldn’t have seen and now she has 4 shadows who follow her everywhere. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time she was never suppose to be there. So they come up with a plan, but what happens if it backfires? You'll just have to read it and find out what happens and get ready for the next book "We End With Us" I know I can't wait.

I was hooked on this book instantly. I couldn’t put it down, it had me wanting to know what was going to happen. All the secrets keep you guessing right to the end. And that cliffhanger has ready to dive into book 2!
I loved all these guys, especially Cass. I want to know more about all these guys, particularly Bass and Jordy. But I’m excited for things to heat up between Nova and King. He was the only guy holding back in this book and keeping her at arms length. Can’t wait to see what happens next! I’m wondering if maybe there’s more to what happened to her mom, and I’m also wondering if just maybe her dad wasn’t really the bad guy. I’m a little suspicious about Grant too.

Rating: ☆☆☆☆     Spice: 🌶🌶🌶

Angst: 💔💔💔

Cliffhanger? ✅️

Do I recommend it? ✅️ 

Trigger Warnings: ☠️ ☠️ ☠️ 

Tropes: dark why-choose romance, enemies-to-lovers, romantic suspense 

Nova Cohen took a walk in the rain and witnessed something she was never supposed to see. The Sinners of Harling Hill were dangerous and known by all in the small town. Kingston, Cassius, Sebastian and Jordan were not blood-related but they were brothers all the same. All four were brought together by tragic pasts. They all knew the mayor's daughter, Nova. They never expected Nova to be there that night but now that they have her right where they want her, it will be interesting to see how the game will play on from here. They will be her shadows while the cards are played. Will all five of them be able to keep their hearts out of the way?

This was an exciting read from start to cliffhanger finish. The suspense had me on the edge of my seat as I turned pages until the sun came up. I loved the banter, especially the nicknames. This was the second book where the male character called the female character "Pup" and I am officially in love with that pet name! I loved the constant push and pull. I fell hard for Cass, Bass and Jordy but I don't know what I think of King yet. Nova was way too naive and I really wanted her to get a more developed backbone. The last few chapters had one twist after another. Some of them were predictable while others weren't but all just as exciting. I especially loved that we got everyone's POVs. I'm still highly invested in this story's outcome and highly recommend giving it a try. This is my honest opinion, freely given.

Ahh this is my first book by Tara Lee and I'm so happy to say I adored it a lot! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and completely fell in love with Nova and The Sinners; Kingston, Jordan, Cassian and Sebastian 👌🏽😍

I'm a sucker for the enemies to lovers as ya'll know by now and the way it goes down in this one is amazing! These guys may have started as her enemies or more like bullies to keep her quiet about what she saw them do but Nova unexpectedly becomes their everything! And despite wanting to hate them, she starts to fall in love with them too 🤭

I looved starting to discover softer and sweeter sides to all four guys but only towards our girl Nova! Their pet names for her had me completely and holy smokes are they burning hot together! 😌💕

This one's filled with angst and tension which is EPIC! Suspense, secrets and twists with light the room on fire worthy steam is only the beginning and I'm already halfway to being wrecked by these five!

Holy craziness!!! This was my first read from this author and I’m blown away!! I couldn’t take my eyes off this book!!

Nova is a young girl who seems pretty naive, despite what she claims. While she seems like the untouchable and sheltered girl, she’s very feisty and I loved her taunts towards Kingston!

I loved each and every moment with these characters!!! I didn’t realize the amount of love I would have for them until I kept reading!! So many different names just flooded my brain and turned me on! Each one took control of my heart along with Nova’s!!

This book has so much potential, but unfortunately I'm left feeling indifferent.

The tropes are something I enjoy. Dark romance, RH, morally grey men, stalking. But it could have been executed better.

I think the part that really lets the book down is the editing. Sometimes it was difficult to understand who was talking and when there was a change in scene or time. Also, the spicey scenes could have been done with a little more detail, such as where bodies were positioned.

I did feel as though the 'twists' were super obvious, but that doesn't bother me.

Not sure I'll be continuing with this series.

Wow what an ending 😳 there was so much deception and mystery. I couldn’t put their book down reading and getting lost page after page. Kings revelation was mind blowing, I had an idea about Santiago but didn’t think so many people were involved. Fantastic, can’t wait for the next book.

“I think falling for you could be dangerous.”
“Yeah?” He breathes. “But isn't that half the fun?”

Naive and innocent, Nova is the mayors daughter who runs the town and keeps a strict hold on his daughter.
Sick of her dads rules Nova heads out one night and see something she shouldn’t.

The sinners are an unruly group of guys (King, Sebastian, Cassius and Jordy) Everyone knows not to mess with them. When they spot Nova they threaten her silence and claim her as theirs.

They decide to use Nova’s access to her father to get information to gain their freedom. It was suppose to be just business but no matter how hard they try, they cannot fight their feelings for Nova and they become obsessed with her. Nova can no longer deny her feelings for them and gives herself to them.

This was a fast paced, spicy read with lots of twists and turns. The Sinners are the bad boys we all love to hate. The arc that I received was an unedited arc and so the spelling mistakes and errors threw me off a bit when reading but the spicy scenes more than made up for it.
I enjoyed reading this and look forward to reading the next book.

O sinners

Wow, I did not expect all those secrets. Seems like as soon as you figure one thing out, a new twist comes out. I love Cass he is a favorite. Bass and Jordan are just the right mood lifters. And king, I just hated him at first, but he grew on me. Nova was so sheltered, so she was easy to take advantage of I. The beginning, but it's good to see her grow more confident. Can't wait to see how everything plays out in book 2 with how all the secrets come out

Nova has come upon something she wasn't supposed to, now the Sinners are out to make her life a living h***. Cass, Bass, Jordy, and King are a mission and they need Nova to help them complete it, but in the mist of that they slowly try to break, but she won't be broken, but they also start to catch some feelings for her and her for them. With them leaving her in the dark, she makes it a mission to find everything out, but will the truth be any better than the lies she has been told. Will she fall for all them or lose them all? Will they tell her truth or will it be too late? When finds out everything will she forgive them or leave them all? I was a little put off with some of things in this book, but the emotional twist, the action, and each new page I was pulled in and was left with so many emotions I didn't want that ending and was not expecting it all. It totally blew my mind and left wanting more. I can't wait for the next.

This is the first in a new duet, and my word, what a story this is! Nova is the daughter of the town mayor, and when she is in the wrong place at the wrong time, she is a witness to something she should not have seen, which has her firmly in the sights of the bad boys in town, who have a reputation of being dangerous. This is a well written enemies / lovers, reverse harem story, with angst, danger, suspense, twists, lies, secrets, truths, and leads to an unpredictable and steamy addictive page turner. I cannot wait to read the conclusion!
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

WOW Couldn't put this down The Sinners are the elite of the school and have secrets.

Nova is the Mayor's daughter and becomes their property what will happen when she finds out the truth.

Nova and the sinners (Bass, King, Cass, and Jordy) are all running from their secrets.
While Nova was a witness, the Sinners claimed her as theirs, and with all the twists, turns, and side streets this book takes, they are not giving her up.
In true fashion this book does end on a cliffhanger that has you on edge waiting for the next one.
I received an ARC, and this is my honest review.

I don’t normally write reviews when they are not favourable, but this one, the timing was disjointed, moved too fast in parts, not well explained or described in others. It had potential- but it fell far short. That ending was fast, felt rushed, and doesn’t really feel like there is much left to know really.
