I’ve enjoyed every book in the Malone Squared set. This one keeps you on your toes and doesn’t dissapoint.
The men of Blake Security are complex, dangerous, and sexy. The enigmatic Matthias is front and centre, in this introductory novella. It offers a look beneath the façade, depicting a past that has definitely made him the man he is today. An extremely nuanced, well told beginning. I can’t wait to read Sin (there is a stellar excerpt following the prequel).
Knowing a little about Mathias before I picked this prequel up…what a way to hook interest! The flashbacks were a bit darker then I was expecting and sad. Yet the current day moments had me smiling at the closeness of the security group. And Mathias fighting a bad guy with a baby strapped to his chest… well, that’s close enough to Jason Statham kicking patootie while slinging the baby in the carrier to safety:)
I’ll definitely continue on because I want to know what happens!
Come meet the sexy badazzz that will capture your heart and tingle the emotional response . . . see his past and find new questions. . .
Big, bad, sexy, sinfully delicious . . . Matthias in a suit at a wedding and having women throw themselves at him. I felt he handled himself very well. She was a nightmare. He was calm on the outside and used his brain. How could the Malone’s have done anything more to help you fall more in love with the sexy Englishman. I found this prequel, deeper look at Matthias was what we needed to latch on to him and never want to let him go.
This is the prequel to Matthias story and will definitely leave you needing more about him. It also goes into his past. I had been so excited to read his story and it did not disappoint so far.
A Little Taste of SIN…
The Malones have decided to tease us with a little taste before they draw us in and rip through our emotions… Many just want to get into the heart of the story, but we get a taste of our charactres. Learn their history.
Matthias is the quiet, computer nerd that handles all the technology for Blake Security, but he has always left us to wonder.
This prequel novella gives us a look into Matthias and explains why he is one of the most dangerous guys on Blake Security! But getting a taste of his story just leaves you wanting more…
For being a brief introduction to Sin, this boom was entertaining. Matthias was a bit of a mystery. With short glimpses into his past, this book hints at a much bigger adventure in Sin and I’m absolutely giddy. I just know that I’m going to LOVE Matthias by the end of his story. The guy is a total enigma. With a big heart and protective/caring personality…there’s a hint at just how dangerous he is and I can’t wait to find out.
Before Sin is a look into Matthias’ past and understanding of how closed off he is. We also get a glimpse of his Enemies and what he had to do to try to get out. Matthias is my favorite character from the Blake security and I can’t wait to read Sin.
OMG!!! It’s finally Mathias’ turn for his story!!! He’s so adorable and intense and I’ve been waiting FOREVER to hear his story.
This prequel is amazing and lays such a great story for things to come! I’m so excited for his story to be told.
Wow!! Before Sin is the the precursor to Sin, and begins to give you a bit of the background on Matthias Weller, Blake Security’s hacker extraordinaire. We get a look into Matthias’ past, which as we have glimpsed from the other Blake Security books is very mysterious and dark. We begin to learn about Matthias being raised in a community known only by the name The Family. Before Sin starts off at JJ and Jonas’ wedding rehearsal and leaves us in suspense and ready to move onto Sin. Before Sin is a great novella which sets the stage for the bigger story in Sin. Oh, and since this is by Malone Squared you know there will be plenty of laughter and courageousness, even in a novella as short as Before Sin. Happy Reading!!!
Where do I start with this one? This is the story of Gemma and Matthias. Matthias is working with Blake Security, so we do see quite a few folks from prior books.
Holy freaking hotness Batman! The chemistry , general interaction, and history between these two is so intertwined it’s amazing.
I cannot wait to get the follow-up so I can devour it like I did the first one.

Before Sin gives the reader a brief look into Matthias past and a little insight into what he might face in Sin. It’s kind of like a teaser, giving the readers a little taste and leaving them wanting more. I’m definitely intrigued and can’t wait to find out the rest of Matthias’ story. (3.5)
4.5 Stars
What an intriguing look into the life of Mathias. I had been waiting for his story and it was quite the tease. There are so many things that are happening from the past, and from the present, that have me wondering how they all go together. Mathias is going to be a wonderful enigma that I can’t wait to discover! I am so excited to read the first book in the Sin Duet to see how the all clues fall into place!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Before Sin is the prequel to The Sin Duet. So it is short and gives you a taste of what your in for when you move on to the next book, Sin.
They say love is all around. Year, for everyone but me. It sounds crazy, I know. Breaking News: Badass bodyguard for the nation’s top security firm doesn’t know how to talk to women. That’s it folks. I have no game. Luckily my newfound family at Blake Security accepts me exactly as I am. But there are my things in my past, secrets, that I’d do anything to protect them from.
I am so happy to be back in to the world of Blake Security and even more happy that the gang is all here in this prequel. If you have read the Shameless Series you know all about Blake Security and you know who Matthias is. Now you get to find out more about the guy who is closed off and not as open as everyone else who is his “family” now. I assume this prequel is to explain Matthias past and it shocked me. Wow is this guy hiding some serious things. With that said your going to want to jump into Sin the second you close this prequel. Thank goodness the wait is not long until May 29. I can’t wait to find out what is going to happen in this first book. It will be a nail biter for sure.
Five sinful stars! Hot British alpha hero inside.
Holy God of the hot-sexy-British men! Before Sin by M. Malone & Nana Malone is a sinful way to start their new duet called The Sin Duet. This is a short prequel that will give you all the feels of Mathias’s past. Who it happens to be a British. I have a soft spot for British heroes. So definitely this book is a free go for me.
This prequel is to easy you in Mathias’s background, his childhood and all the things that made him the man he is. It will give you plenty of details of him. This is not only a way to introduce you to his world, this is a wonderful way to understand him.
I can’t wait to read more about him! I am sure it’s going to be an intense journey that will leave me and will leave you wanting more! All in this prequel promises another stunning story. Mathias is absolutely my kind of alpha book boyfriend hero.
This is a excellent book. Need to read.
Keep in mind when you are reading that this is a super short prequel meant to entice us into delving into the lead character, Matthias’ upcoming story, SIN. This book gives us much-needed insight into his background and totally accomplished the job of enticing me. I am looking forward to the finale, SIN.
An amazing book. Extremely entertaining, captivating and interesting sexy read. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written with strong, intriguing characters. I want to read more from this author.
I gave this book five stars because it was terrific. I was always wondering about Matthias. He is an interesting man. I feel like I really know him. I can’t wait to learn more.
I have been looking forward to Matthias’ story from the very first book in the Blake Security series and this quick glimpse into his past is awesome.
It’s a quick and exciting read that gives you just enough to know where Matthias comes from and understand a little bit of what shaped him. All it does it make him even more interesting and hot.
Before Sin has made even more excited to begin the Sin Duet series to see where the story goes.
