seriously romantic: sinner by sierra simone

sierra simone goes back to the world of priest in sinner. the bell family still grapples with their faith. and now their matriach is dying of cancer. sean, older brother of the former father bell, has taken on most of the caretaking. but he's still trying t hold true to his hedonistic lifestyle.

when he meets a mysterious woman named mary he's intrigued and only the fact that he's called away to his mother's bedside tears him away from an almost kiss. what he doesn't realize until later is that mary is actually his closest friend, elijah's much younger sister, zenobia "zenny" iverson. and zenny is well on her way to entering the novitiate.

sinner explores the lines between faith and the forbidden. the levels of angst for sean are many. he feels like he is corrupting an innocent. and he struggles with the amount of life he has on innocent zenny. but she is also wise beyond her years. her faith at once gives her a naïveté and a maturity to handle adversity.

i loved priest and midnight mass, while i enjoyed sinner. the struggle between faith and love is zenny's, but this book is told from sean's perspective, which while compelling doesn't have the same level of angsty forbidden love as the first books in this series. but it's still crazy hot and emotional. this series is so good.

**sinner will publish on march 15, 2018. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of sierra simone in exchange for my honest review.

I’m not a good man, and I’ve never pretended to be.  I don’t believe in goodness or God or any happy ending that isn’t paid for in advance.

What do I believe in?  Money.  Sex.  Macallan 18. 

They have words for men like me—playboy.  Womanizer.  Skirt chaser.

My brother used to be a priest, and he only has one word for me.

Sinner.

EXCERPT

“Zenny,” I mumble against her lips, some valiant part of me recognizing that this is far, far beyond the kiss she asked for, and also recognizing that I’m going to come all over the inside of my Hugo Boss suit pants if she keeps it up.  Even through the clothes, I can feel her heat, her shameless rolls hinting at where she goes soft and wet between her legs.

Fuck, I want to see it.  I want to see her pussy.  It’s suddenly all I can think about, all I can want or crave, just one glimpse, just a peek.

“I want to see your cunt,” I say hoarsely, lifting my head.

“My…cunt?”  She says the word like she’s never said it out loud before.

“Yeah.”  My voice is so ragged right now, so desperate, and fuck, I’ve never felt this frantic before.  Like I’ll actually combust if I don’t get this one thing, this one small sight of her secret place.

She lets out a shaky breath, her hand dropping from my lapel to her skirt, which she slowly rucks up to her waist as I devour her lips once more, as I bury my face in her neck and kiss every sliver of skin exposed above her collar.  I bite at her ear, at her jaw, my hand finding hers as it pulls her skirt up, so that I’m helping her do it, that we’re doing it together, this forbidden act, this forbidden revelation. 

Her forbidden body.

That word, forbidden, spikes through my mind, bringing with it equal spikes of lust and fear.  Because yes, it’s fucking hot that I shouldn’t be kissing her, I shouldn’t be begging to see her most secret place, my hand shouldn’t be covering hers as it slides up her thigh—but it’s also bad.  Bad even for Sean Bell. 

Bad, bad, bad.
