Series: The Sin Series #5
Author: Georgia Cates
Blurb
Captor becomes lover…
I’m a marksman. Mobster. Deadly assassin.
My job is to protect my brotherhood, but that isn’t my only responsibility.
I’m Kieran Hendry, the up-and-coming leader of The Order, and a new duty calls. I must take a wife.
A wife I don’t know.
A wife born into a position at the top of The Fellowship hierarchy.
A wife who will forge a strong alliance between her brotherhood and mine.
A wife I don’t want.
I knew next to nothing about Westlyn Breckenridge when I abducted her, but I quickly discover that she’s intelligent, strong, defiant, selfless. And beautiful.
One night with her is all it takes for me to see that she is no typical Mafia princess. I’m hopeful this arranged marriage won’t be the miserable union I imagined it to be. But convincing my intended to give us a chance won’t be easy when she sees me as the enemy. The brute who kidnapped her. The vile fiend who threatened to do as he wished with her body.
It’s true. I am all those things. I had cruel intentions. But everything has changed. My affection for her is unexpected. My love, unintended.

This series.. this author... I just.. I'm so in love with these books and these characters. I'm so in love with this world that Georgia has created. However, I will say, I think she may have spoiled us with Bleu and Sin. With those two, we had that slow burn. The 3 books to hate, relate, and love these characters. To obsess over them. Because, let's be honest, they're obsessworthy. But with Keiran and Weslyn, we didn't get that. So in a way, this almost felt rushed to me, choppy, too quick. I felt cheated. I wanted, no I needed, that slow burn, that slow build up, like we had with Sin and Bleu. I needed it! I needed to love Kieran as much as I loved Sin. I mean he's the next leader. He's the alpha male. We're supposed to hate him for the things he has said and done. We're supposed to hate him for the things he says to Wes, but.... like Wes, I found I couldn't. In the story, Wes spends some time trying to figure out why she loves him the way she does, with the foundation they had. But then she realizes, who cares?! why does it matter. And honestly, it didn't to me. You want to know why? When we got to see Kieran around other men in The Order, he was different. But when he was with her, when she was the light to his dark, we got to see him be vulnerable. And we only get to see him be vulnerable with her. Even when he has to be strong for her, even when she's hurt, he's vulnerable for her in front of her family, all for her. But when he had to step up, when it came to her protection, at any time, he didn't hesitate. Not for one second. And when you have an alpha male character like that - who's hard and rough and stern, but vulnerable for his woman, and loyal, nothing else really matters . Because that my fellow readers, is what this whole series is about. These strong, alpha, amazingly killer (literally) men, who are only vulnerable for their women. And when they're vulnerable, they're sweet, they're different. And it's nothing short of beautiful.
That is the one word i would use to describe almost every book in this series, beautiful. The writing. The storylines. The characters. The relationships. The alliances. The growth. The depth. Everything... This book, and all the others, are freaking amazing. The series, and the author, are hands down one of my favorite of all times. ALL TIMES PEOPLE, all times.

Excerpt
Kieran
Hendry makes me feel like a woman. A desired woman. His words, the way he looks
at me, his body language. Everything he does is a huge turn-on. Yet I hate this
man. Loathe him. But damn, he has a way of touching me that makes me forget
every logical thought in my head. It doesn’t make sense to me how I can despise
him and at the same time respond so strongly to his touch.
It’s
my body reacting to him, not my head. It must be hormones and sex drive. Those
two things combined have the power to make people do things they wouldn’t
normally do.
“You’re
trembling.” He grazes the back of his fingers down my cheek and my stomach does
some kind of flip. “Do I frighten you?”
I
look away because I can’t tell him that it isn’t fear giving me the trembles.
He
grasps my chin and forces me to look at him. “Do. I. Frighten. You?”
“No.”
He
rubs my bottom lip with his thumb. “Then what is it?”
I
shake my head.
He
leans in for another kiss but stops before his lips touch mine. We’re so close
I can feel his breath on my mouth. Just like last night when my body turned to
mush.
I’m
quivering and my breath has become more rapid. I may even be a little
lightheaded.
His
bottom lip grazes mine, but he still doesn’t kiss me. “I’ll back off right now
if it’s what you want.”
I
don’t want him to back off. I also don’t want him to know that I don’t want him
to back off. Feels too much like giving in to something I’m not supposed to
crave.
“I’m
going to kiss you.”
I’m
his captive. We made an agreement. I must submit without a fight per our deal
to maintain Ellison’s safety.
Yeah. Keep telling yourself that,
Wes. Maybe if you say it enough, you’ll start to believe it.
His
fingers lace through my hair and he holds me prisoner when he lowers his mouth
to mine. I open, giving his tongue an invitation to come inside. The two meet,
and together they become erotic dance partners with Kieran taking the lead.
I’ve
only had one very forgettable kiss in my life. But this kiss… I could live a
million years and never forget it or the way I feel right now.
He
stops, his lips hovering over mine. His breath warm against my skin. “More or
stop? Your decision.”
He’s
asking me to venture further with him. My body says yes, but my head tells me
that one more step will take me to a place I shouldn’t go with this man. I’m
twenty-three and being kissed for the second time in my life. I don’t want this
to stop. “More.”
