Title: The Sinner
 Author: Shantel Tessier 
 Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ 

I really have enjoyed these standalone dark romances by Shantel Tessier that are all in the same world that follow individual characters. The Sinner follows the story of Sin and Ellington. Sin and Ellington grew up together as next door neighbors and now both attend Barrington College. Sin is a Lord and has decided that he will do whatever it takes to make Ellington his lady. 

But Ellington is on the list of ladies that Sin can choose from and so he decides that no matter what he has to do whether it's kill, steal or blackmail anyone and everyone to have what he wants most. But nothing is as it seems and there's so much going on behind the scenes that Sin isn't aware of and is working against Sin and what he wants. 

Ellington didn't have a normal childhood especially after her father died. Elli's mom is a lady and her father was a lord. So when her father died, her mom remarried to a different lord but he wasn't trying to be a father at all. Elli suffers at the hands of so many and Sin doesn't find out until the damage is done but it makes Elli the perfect match for him. Will Sin be able to save Elli from the past and present? Will he be able to have her when all is said and done? 

This story was so dark and smutty. I loved everything about Elli and Sin. Their story was hearts and flowers but more chains and pain. I love Sins obsession with Elli and what he does to show her that she belongs to him. He doesn't let her self destruct and instead protects her. 🖤i

*Changed my rating from 3,75 to 3/5⭐️*

The trauma is strong in this one.

I have so many questions after this book. I'm not sure what I feel about this Lord-universe because I find it to unrealistic. Aaanyways, give me Tyson's book right now.

It has never taken me this long to read a book before and it's all because I had to take a break every other page. This book is dark. Read the goddamn TW if you have any!

Elli could be stronger. I think if you want very strong FMC Shantel's books aint for you. Elli has lots of trauma tho, so some of her behaviour is explained. But she don't have any money of her own? Couldn't she really just run away? Is the Lord's power that strong?? So many questions. I'm also starting to think the author writes weird stuff only for shock value 🤔 And the misogyny and sexism in this book is through the roof. You are warned.

3/5⭐️
