The wait was a longer than expected but the twist and turns with this book reflect the extra time that was taken!! Once again M. Robison has drawn us to this couple of Damien and Amira, left us hanging and now has provided us a story that shows love has its own time line and forgiveness doesn’t come easy. Damien and Amira’s story is not for the faint of heart but that in the end the skies never lie. Another amazing story from this brilliant author and even a sneak peak into what comes next!!
There is a reason that M Robinson’s reader refer to her as the “Queen of Angst”and she lives up to that name with this book. There are time that I hated and loved both Damien and Amira. My heart broke for both of them. As ruthless and cold-hearted as Damien was, I still loved him so much. YOu will feel every emotion from every character in this book!! Another amazing book from M. Robinson. I highly recommend this entire series .
The crazy, drama filled world of Damien and Amira. Damien doesn’t care who he hurts as he works his way to the top having been shaped by his experiences in Cuba. Becoming a DA gives him more power in his career yet on the inside, he is lost, having walked away from Amira. When she resurfaces, it is with a bang. What an amazing twist as we see this strong, confident Amira who can give Damien a run for his money. Given the world they live in, can these two find forgiveness and embrace the love that they share? The surprises keep coming which kept me glued to my Kindle and my heart racing as I devoured every sexy, gut wrenching, all-consuming moment. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
I have just finished a book that WILL BE on my top of 2018 books. Last November, I began El Santo and thought – who is this man Damien? Is he a man or a monster. But through the beauty of M. Robinson’s writing and storytelling, I fell in love with a monster. A man who was trapped in a life he never asked for. El Pecador begins where Ms. Robinson left off, she left us hanging and picked it up with an absolute BANG!
The love story of Damien and Amira is nothing as you would expect, guns, and mobsters, District Attorney’s all mixed into the most dynamic and compelling relationship that spans 20 years and countless obstacles. Wrapped in lies, secrets and 2 seriously strong people, as the story continues and the layers are peeled away, you will be entrenched and rooted in their lives and you will never want to leave.
As I have always expected from M. Robinson, I read a story that was nothing as I expected. Her evocative writing style and storytelling ability have once again entranced me. Be prepared to binge read this book, be prepared with tissues and alcohol because you will surely need both. If you think about grabbing an oxygen tank for the MULTIPLE OMG moments, yes MULTIPLE. The twists and turns are abundant, the feels are endless – from sadness to elation, to surprise to absolute euphoria – Monica Robinson has once again blown me away. The epilogue is a perfect ending to a tale that will forever be in my soul.
Top read of 2018!!! My heart is still dealing with all the emotions. The Queen of Angst has outdone herself. The angst in this book is on a new scale. #TeamDamira This duet couldn’t have a better conclusion. Expect the unexpected. Just when you think you know what is going things take a different turn. Enjoy the ride! I know I did
The queen of angst strikes again. This book will have you on a roller coaster of emotions. You thought you knew Damien before but you haven’t seen anything yet. The way she writes will have you feeling all the emotions that the characters experience. This book may be her best one yet. You can definitely tell she puts her all in this book and it shows. So if you loved Damien in El Santo then you will love him in El Pecador.
Just when you think you finally have have gotten through one of M. Robinson’s books without shedding a tear, BAM! She gets you! The emotional roller coaster she takes you on is unbelievable! Loved this book!
What an absolutely amazing read! Once again I bow down to the Queen of Angst!
What Damien and Amira have is beyond a connection or chemistry, its the passion between these two that is so hot and beyond anything I’ve ever read before.
I don’t want to say to much and give anything away. Just trust me and read this book and yes, you have to read El Santo before reading El Pecador. You won’t be sorry. You can tell M. Robinson put everything into writing this book.
Do yourself a favor and one click now!
I love M. Robinson and she is one of my favorite go to authors and she doesn’t disappoint.
Oh, what can I say about El Pecador, there are so many words on the tip of my tongue that can describe Damien and Amira’s story. Amazing, beautiful, breathtaking are just a few that you will have you on the edge of your seat, going round and round never wanting to get off. You are pulled into Damien and Amira highly emotional journey with twist and turns that you never saw coming. M Robinson has connected with her characters on the charts of unknown that you feel everything they feel. The adrenaline rush you feel while reading is something that very few authors can do. It is heart stopping!! There are plenty of times during El Pecador where you will be left speechless. This is by far one of her best books that I have read to date and will be at the top of my list for favorite read of 2018. Be prepared, she has the title of Queen Angst for a reason and if anything El Pecador will show you that you that she is proud of this title and will not let it go.
This is the conclusion to Damien and Amira story and nothing is held back. You wanted answers to the cliffhanger from El Santo, well you get all of that plus some. Just when things are going to work in their favor, M throws you a punch that at the time you don’t think you can recover from. There is no stone left unturned; there are times you need tissues; there are times you need to get up an walk away because let me tell you she is going to put you through the ringer. And be happy that she has left you in a puddle on ground.
OMG! I don’t even know where to begin with this book! I LOVED every minute of it! This is El Santo Book 2. You must read El Santo in order to understand what is going on in El Pecador. With that being said…. El Pecador runs the gamut of emotions (i.e. angst, love, passion, pain, suspense, action) and so much more. I think I have whiplash from all of the twists and turns. lol. Amira is now my favorite H out of all of M’s books. I love that she is strong, takes no bull, kicks butt, and loves with all her heart. Damien is probably the my favorite “hate to love him” out of all her heroes. You will hate him but you’ll love him in the end. He’s sexy, cocky, possessive, loyal, bad but oh so good, takes no prisoners, no holds barred, and loves will all his heart! Get ready for Damien Montero ladies! Swoon!
“Our connection.
Our family.
Our love.
Meant nothing to him in the end.
The man who saved me.
Raised me.
Protected me.
Loved me.
Left. Me.”
Monica wears the Queen of Angst crown well. She has earned it. lol! My best advice when reading this book is to expect the unexpected! Monica does plot twists and suspense like no other! It will leave you wondering, “What did I just read?” but in the best way possible! Her plots are always gripping and gritty. They keep you hanging on to EVERY word! It will devour you whole! She breaks your heart and gets your tears every time but always puts it back together. She NEVER disappoints! My favorite thing about her books are the feels. She has you feeling every emotion! It is so real that I feel as if I am living the story with them. I LOVE Monica’s books and this one exceeded my expectations. 5 stars do not do it justice! I fear that I will have a book hangover for a long time. Thank you Monica for taking me on this journey with Damien and Amira!
5 stars isn’t enough to rate this emotional rollercoaster ride. I was left emotionally drained and hung over after reading El Pecador. M Robinson just has a way of making you fall in love with each of her characters even if they are good or evil. And El Santo was the perfect beginning of Damien and Amira’s story and El Pecador was the perfect conclusion. Their story was one that was written in the stars.
This couple didn’t have it easy by any means. They have to fight for their HEA. And their battle is one of twists and turns that you don’t see coming. There are scenes that will have you wanting to scream and throw your reading device while cursing M’s name. And then have you coming to tears with emotional moments, that will have you wanting to take these characters away from M until she can promise to end their suffering.
I can’t wait for the next book by the Queen of Angst.
Oh WOW! what a roller coaster this book was. So much emotions. So intriguing. I’m so invested in Amira and Damien, I don’t know how I can pick up anther book after this? I took my time reading this. I took in every moment, every situation, every pain and struggle. But in between all the hurt, there was so much LOVE. I’m in.. I cant even explain what or how I’m feeling.
The background to this story hit home. It was nice and refreshing to read a twist to such a crazy and real life issue. This is such an epic conclusion to El Santo. Just when I thought things were good, or that I had everything figured out, BAG, twist! the author kept me on my toes with this one.
I so loved and enjoyed this story. Everything was super good. It was different for me. The story line blew me away, Totally a great escape. This was my 2nd book for this author, but I so look forward reading more from her. she gave me so many feels. her writing style is really good and really touches and sucks you in.
M. Robinson is a must-read author for me. She is known as the Queen of Angst for a reason and angst is my kryptonite. I have devoured nearly all her books for that reason! She takes her readers on journeys in every book she writes that will twist and break their hearts until the very last minute.
In El Pecador, the conclusion to her Saint-Sinner duet, she does that and so much more. If you read the first book, El Santo, and you need too, as this is a continuation of that story, we were left on a huge cliffhanger and I needed to see where it would go from there.
As with most of her books, this story spans decades and will have you at the edge of your seat from start to finish. Damien and Amira’s journey was full of obstacles at every turn. Some they made for themselves and others were put in front of them by others. You know they are meant to be together, but will they ever truly find a way to each other?
El Pecador was full of intrigue, lies, deception, suspense and romance. I had no idea where it would lead and how it would end. My heart! What an emotional roller coaster this story was! Another amazing read by this author!
4.5 stars! Read and reviewed for Sultry Sirens Book Blog.
The M in M. Robinson must stand for “Make me cry”; I totally understand why she shortened it to M.
If El Santo is the history lesson, than El Pecador is a crash course rollercoaster. The no brakes moment while riding on the highway…
El Pecasdor is truly a sinner. And his sins come to bite him in the ass big time! The past and present collide in a way that will change his future. Let’s not forget cameos that will make you smile and your heart stutter.
Damien is not innocent. He isn’t nice. You won’t know whether to like or hate him but you will easily fall in love.

El Pecador was a crazy, wild ride filled with twists and turns. It defied so many things but I can’t deny that it was enjoyable. It was action packed, angsty and had hot sex scenes.
My fave part was the characters. I loved the transformation Amira underwent, she was so fierce and strong in this part not that she wasn’t those things before but it was in a different way. I also this other side to Damien that we got to see, the one where he wasn’t afraid to show his emotions. I absolutely adored that.
There were glimpses of secondary characters that have me so very intrigued especially the ones from Lost Boy. I can’t wait to read that book.
I definitely recommend this duet.
ARC provided by author in exchange for a honest review
I have been impatiently waiting for El Pecador since the second I finished reading El Santo, and it was worth every second of the wait.
I knew that this book was going to be a rocky ride, but holy heck M. Robinson!
I don’t want to give anything away or spoil anything for anyone, but just be prepared.
Be prepared to be shocked. Be prepared to be angry. Be prepared to be sad.
Be prepared for lots of WTF moments and for the unexpected.
I will say that I had a love/hate relationship with not only Damien, which was expected, but also with Amira. Her story really did take a turn that I was not expecting – then again, this is a M. Robinson book – I should expect the unexpected by now!
Run, don’t walk to get your copy of El Pecador – you need this sinner in your life
El Pecador picks up where El Santo finished (so you need to read that book first) and the angst starts building from the first page, with the action quick to follow. I lost count of how many times my jaw hit the ground because of the crazy and unexpected twists M Robinson threw my way. She had me reeling on more than one occasion.
I finished El Santo with a lot of mixed feelings about Damien but in true M Robinson style, she had me falling back in love with him within the first few pages of El Pecador. This is the perfect conclusion to Damien’s story as far as I’m concerned and as much as my feelings about him swung back and forth multiple times throughout the book, he’s without a doubt one of my all time favourite characters. I truly love to hate him and hate to love him. I didn’t know if I wanted to kill him or kiss him most of the time.
Amira is my new girlie crush. She turned out to be everything I hoped and so much more. She’s an amazing character that I absolutely loved. I had no idea how much her character was going to grow and change from the start of El Santo to the end of El Pecador and she couldn’t have been any more perfect.
Full of twists and unpredictable turns this book definitely kept me guessing what was going to happen next. M Robinson has always been my queen of angst and this book further cements that. As usual with this authors books the emotions come thick and fast. I went from hatred to head over heels in love and back to complete hatred all within a few pages. I got so mad I had tears in my eyes and I had to put my kindle down and have a breather. El Pecador is a whirlwind from start to finish, from the emotions to the action, it’s literally non stop, hit after hit and I couldn’t get enough of it. I highly recommend this duet. It’s got everything a book should have.
The Queen of Angst strikes again. So many feels, twists and turns. I couldn’t out it down. I laughed. I cried. I cursed M. Robinson to hell, only to get the HEA like always.
Wow what an amazing ending to this duet. I am speech less. Full review to come as soon as I can think again!
Highly recommend!
This is the second book of a series so first of all go read book one first El Santos. This book starts right off where El Santos ended. Very angst, intense, heartbreaking, but mostly love. Damien I felt his character more in this book. Damien pores out his feelings to us readers we get to know a different side to him and I loved that. Amira is now truly a woman and wow has she changed! Amira is what every woman wants to be strong, determined and very stubborn but wants to be loved. There are some twist and turns and it gets your thoughts running wild which I really loved! Definitely a amazing series that everyone should read. 5/5 stars *Reviewed by Sweet & Spicy Reads
Finally!!!!! DIOS MIO!!!!!
I feel as I have been waiting for book 2 for a long long time. Perfection can never be rushed and let me tell you that El Pecador is exactly that PERFECTION. Damien and Amira’s story has angst for days people! Definitely a MUST READ!
Let me just say that those last few chapter HELLOOO PLOT TWIST!!! I’m so reading this again
Can’t wait for Noah
