It is the first spinoff of The Fellowship world introduced in The Sin Trilogy: A Necessary Sin, The Next Sin, One Last Sin.Although Endurance may be read as a standalone, I recommend reading The Sin Trilogy first if you wish to have a full understanding of The Fellowship world. The choice is yours. (An ebook bundle set with all three books is available at a discounted price.)Each Sin Series Standalone Novel will feature a different couple.No cliffhanger. HEA

Endurance is a spin off from the Sin Series. It is the story of Jamie and Ellison.
I am confident when I say that everyone was rooting for Jamie and Ellison to get together. Their chemistry is off the charts! Their relationship is intense.
Although Endurance is a standalone it is best to read the Sin Trilogy first because it lays the foundation for the characters. You will not be disappointed. Sin is an amazing series full of mobsters, agents, traditions and hot Scotsmen!
Back to Jamie and Ellison. ..As I said earlier, lots of intense chemistry. Jamie & Ellison have a lot in common. The Fellowship has its rules, rights and traditions. It is Jamie’s birthright. Ellison has no idea that her sister, Bleu, married into such a lifestyle until she is told and must decide to stay in Scotland and be claimed by a Fellowship member or leave forever.
Jamie, the “mob doctor” is immediately attracted to Ellison. His attraction to her grows even more so when he discovers her intelligence and talent as a nurse. They are thrown together and just click as a team. But Jamie feels unworthy of Ellison. He tries to stay away.
I really loved the continuation of the Sin Series. We get to see Sin, Bleu, as well as many other characters. The last part of the book really shakes it up! The story goes crazy! Twists, turns and oh no! And I loved it!
Hurry up 2017 so I can get my next fix!
5 stars!

AMAZING!!!! That truly sums up my feelings about this book. I absolutely LOVE Georgia Cates writing!!
What happens when you love a woman but you don’t think you are good enough for her??
You get a lot of angst but an outstanding love story. That is what Ellison and Jamie’s story is. I was sucked into to their lives and felt everything they felt. My heart and emotions went a wild rollercoaster ride with these two.
Endurance is the fourth book in Georgia’s Sin Series but is a complete standalone. It can be read without having to read the first three books, but I wouldn’t recommend it. This storyline takes off from where the first three books finish. Yes it is a completely new couple in this book, but we do meet them in the previous books. Also there is information that you get by reading the previous books, that I think will help the reader along in this story. Although I will say Georgia does an amazing job filling in as many blanks as she can in this book so the reader isn’t lost. I just feel that to fully appreciate this couple and their backstory, a reader should read the other books.
I loved that she wrote this book in Dual POV and that there isn’t a cliffhanger. We get a complete story with this book. I loved that she does set up the story for the next book in this series, that comes out in 2017. I am excited to see where she takes the new couple 😉
As I said before this book is based on Ellison (Bleu’s sister) and Jamie (Sin’s BFF and fellowship brother). We met them in the previous books. Their story starts off where the end of One Last Sin ended. Ellison has decided to stay in Edinburgh and to do that she must join The Fellowship….but to do that she must be claimed by a Fellowship member. She wants it to be Jamie. Jamie has been in love with Ellison for a while now and would love nothing more than to claim Ellison and make her his wife. But because of the path he has chosen in the Fellowship, he doesn’t feel he can protect her the way she needs to be protected. So as you can guess, this brings on some serious push and pull between them. Will Jamie ever be able to feel worthy of Ellison?? Will he claim her as his and make her his wife and a member of The Fellowship?? Will Ellison be able to change Jamie’s mind?? You need to read Endurance to find out the answers to those questions.
Another reason I would recommend reading the Sin Trilogy (Bleu and Sin’s stories) is because we see both Bleu and Sin a lot in this book. I feel this book would spoil their story if it is read first. I loved that we get to see Bleu and Sin after their story ended. I love continuing past couples so we see how they turn out down the road. Plus I wasn’t ready for their story to be over after book 3. I also liked that we got more of Westlyn, Leith and Lorna in this book.
So if you are looking for an angst filled love story that will captivate and intrigue you all the way through, then you definitely need to read Endurance!!!
