Ok.
This book didn’t hold my attention like most of the others in this series even though I liked the main characters.

Okay Sin and Tiffany are so adorable. Tiffany is lost without a purpose and doesn’t believe in herself but when her best friend asks her to help the MC with something she finds her calling. I loved watching her journey and seeing how she was discovering herself. Her relationship with Sin was amazing. I loved their story so much.

Holy twists! This book is full of surprises! Sin and Tiffany meet at an MC party, and the connection is immediate and electric. They’re soon in love, but having to deal with being separated by distance. In the mean time, the MC looking to take down a mafia family who deal in human trafficking. That’s when the secrets begin to pour out! Tiffany and Sin’s love only strengthens throughout the story and despite complications, but no one is out of danger yet.
The relationship between Sin and Tiffany is strong and sweet and emotional. Their bond is amazing. Tiffany helps the rescued women deal with their ordeal even as she struggles with her own problems - she’s a strong character. Sin is hiding some things from his past, but his trust in Tiffany is amazing. The world building is excellent, the characters are great, and the narrative is exciting. It’s a great read!
I highly recommend Sin, but make sure to check your trigger warnings. Read it and let me know what you think - I’d love to discuss!

Sin and Tiff sizzle from the very beginning of this entry in the Sinners’ universe. With just one glance these two are hooked, and so too will be readers. This book along with the others in this series all feature the incredible world building and character development that Akeroyd is known for. However, this one also features more twists and turns (and answers to previous books) that will have readers begging for more. I wish I could read this for the first time again just to experience all the feels!

Sin is the most epic book hangover ever. You get lost in the world of this MC. Its also a must read for me.

When Serena Akeroyd puts out an MC romance, I know it’s a one-click for me. She has such a distinct style and voice to her MC stories, truly a one of a kind approach to the MC world. The Satan’s Sinners series has a perfect balance of world building and character development, action and heart- they are page turning thrillers and emotional romances all at once. And Sin more than lives up to my expectations for a Serena MC story.
In this third installment, the story focuses on our title character, Sin, and his budding connection with young Tiffany. We get a glimpse into how their connection was formed- in such an incredibly memorable, humorous, and engaging opener, and we see them confront personal, club, and societal obstacles as they navigate a deepening commitment and need for one another.
I loved these characters. I love how the women in this series are so badass- they have been hurt (or get hurt), and they are willing to be vulnerable- but they are also fighters- strong, unapologetic, self-possessed. And the men, UGH, I love how Serena lets them be emotional, lets them be caring and committed and sensitive, all while having them be the rough and dangerous bikers that we know they are. And, I simply loved this couple- from the first meeting you feel the magnetic draw between them, like two incomplete souls finding their missing piece. They click so seamlessly- the relationship feels explosive and quiet all at once. And, I loved how open both of them were with each other and their feelings. There is TONS of drama in this book- but the drama between them is minimal, low angst. I always love how Serena lets her couples marinate- we don’t have to wait to see how it will be- she lets them find each other early and gives the plot space to explore the relationship while they are together- which is way more interesting to witness.
Serena certainly knows how to bring what we know and love about MC romance -the dark, gritty MC violent danger with the soul searing, frenetic romantic chemistry. But what I love about her stories are the narrative choices that make her MC stories feel more unique and original:
1) First, while each book focuses disproportionately on a particular couple's journey- these books remain true ENSEMBLE tales, with at least 30% of the story (if not more) weaving in POVs from other characters- both those who have already had their story the focus of a book, and those who have yet to star. The series is, in fact, about the Sinners- and Serena is telling multiple sub romance stories in parallel to the larger narrative that is threaded through every book- the MC’s continued role in taking down some shady business in their community. I’d recommend reading all the books in order-you could read it as a standalone, but you’d miss out on the magic of this narrative choice- because you won’t know the individual characters or the stories that are being continued. Without being steeped in the whole series, this might feel like it is a deviation from the romance, when in actuality it is progressing the series as a whole. Such an interesting narrative approach!
2)Secondly, I love how Serena focuses mostly on the intimate moments to drive the story. And, no, I don’t just mean sexy times- although we have plenty of those-SA know brings all the heat. Rather, it is the sweet one-on-one interactions- the daily conversations, the flirty phone calls or texts, the bedroom convos- the simple moments when our characters not only tell us more about who they are individually but tell us about who they are as a couple. Don’t worry- we have tons of MC action and danger, but Serena invests the words where there is the most meaning- the steady, yet passionate development of emotional connection between her leads. The relationships feel stable, grounded, intimate, and authentic because of this writing choice-and this makes her characters more richly developed- more layered and complex.
As always, this book has many twists and turns- contrasting moments of light and levity with darkness and pain. This book, in particular, had some unexpected but powerful moments that had me flying through pages - both in the external action and in the internal relationships, including some very devastating moments. The action kept me on my toes, but the emotional arcs kept me deeply invested. I can’t wait to revisit all the couples again as well as explore the teasers for book 4 Serena careful wove into our final chapters. Sin and Tiff get all the love from me!

These books are a rabbit hole.
Sometimes I just want to skip to the MC that I want to read about but there are so many details involved that you need to read it all… and you will not regret it !

DNF @ 35% Probably won’t be continuing on with the series. Wasn’t interested in this love story at all compared to the second one.
