Audio Review
The “What If” girl holds the keys. I couldn’t wait to listen to Michael’s story. This has been the best series and I have loved each siblings story and getting more and more clues to solving the mystery behind their father’s death. This didn’t disappoint the only sad part is now the series is over. I don’t typically re-read or listen to books but I will with this series, they are that good.
Michael has been the protector and the broody brother but come to find out there are reasons behind his mood and her name is Annalise and she is the one that got away years ago and he has never really gotten over her. When she shows up again she will do more than heal his broken heart, she holds the keys to solving the mystery of his fathers murder.
Fantastic book, the heat and emotion between these two is heart melting and throw in the little clues that pop up as they talk and we get closer and closer to finding out what really happened and who was involved.
The all star cast of Sebastian York, Vanessa Edwin, January LaVoy, Jonathan Davis, Scott Brick, Shane East, Savannah Peachwood, Sean Crisden, Maxine Mitchell, and Brian Pallino were amazing to listen to. Everyone did a great job.
I loved this book, I loved the entire series and I highly recommend it. It is definitely one of my all time favorites and one I will listen to again.
The full story has finally been revealed for the Paige/Sloan family. It was one crazy journey but one that was excellently written.
Michael had been the strong, supportive oldest brother throughout this series and it was great to finally get his story. His was an emotional second chance romance that ended up impacting his world more than any I would have imagined. I really liked the enduring love Michael and Annalise had. They met in high school but their story spanned eighteen years. They both gained a lot of life experience and were different people from when they first met by the time they get their second chance. But there was this feeling about them that just seemed meant to be.
Their romance was blended so well with the mystery unfolding. This whole series was a great mix of mystery, suspense and romance and I highly recommend it.
This is the perfect conclusion to Ms. Blakely’s exhilarating and sexy Sinful Men series! I loved every romantic, sensuous, and heart-pounding moment. This second chance romance reunites Michael Sloan with his “What If?” girl, Annalise Delacroix. They met and fell in love while Annalise was a foreign exchange student in Las Vegas. When she had to return home to France they vowed to stay close and make their relationship work. When they are torn apart by time and distance, they are forced to go their separate ways with broken hearts. Now years later Michael receives a letter from Annalise that she will be in LV for work and would like to get together. Their reunion ignites the long dormant feelings they both harbor and their desire to explore the “What If’s”. They remember their wonderful connection as young adults but now as bolder, dirtier, and more passionate adults they fit even better than before. But is that enough for two people who don’t want to risk another broken heart and who still live on different continents? This is a very exhilarating, romantic and sensuous love story that was brought to life flawlessly by a very talented cast of narrators. Sebastian York, and Vanessa Edwin were so perfect as Michael and Annelise. York nailed Michael’s devotion, his thoughtful, and protective nature, and his romantic yet dominant side so perfectly. He had me in tears as he made me feel the rebirth of their love and the struggle to protect themselves. Edwin’s portrayal of Annalise as a strong, loyal, and caring heroine, really tugged at my heart as well. They drew me in with a nostalgic and personal feel of their written letters, deep terms of endearment and the speaking of french, especially in the throws of passion. Their banter was fun, their chemistry was off the charts and I absolutely loved them together.
Ms Blakely expertly weaved a suspenseful mystery arc throughout this series. I was so enthralled in the flashbacks that revealed the events leading up to Michael’s father’s murder. With the revamping of this story, there were more twists and turns, with extra character point of views that were so riveting, it had me totally engaged as it picked up speed to it’s thrilling conclusion. I cannot express how much I loved this whole series, along with the wonderful multicast narration. The character’s were all so intriguing, genuine and honest that I hate to let them go. This is definitely an exceptional series that shouldn’t be missed!
This is the fifth book in the Sinful Men Series. The story continues where the third book left off. This was my most anticipated story in the Series. Michael and Annalise’s story is beautiful and sexy, but also suspenseful and filled with twists and turns. This is an epic conclusion to the Series. Sebastian York and Vanessa Edwin as Michael and Annalise did an amazing job with the narration. The multi cast is wonderful: Scott Brick (John Winston), Johnathan Davis (Luke Carlton), January LaVoy (Laura Reece), Savannah Peachwood (Becky), Sean Crisden (Thomas Paige), Maxine Mitchell (Dora Prince), Brian Pallino (special appearance), Samantha Cook (Mindy), Jason Clark (Lee Stephano), Lili Valente (Bianca Rosa), Tim Paige (Marcus), Zacchary Webber (Colin), Shane East (Sanders Doyle). I appreciate that each character has his or her own voice throughout the Series. I highly recommend this Series!
My Sinful Love
By: Lauren Blakely
Narrated by: Sebastian York, Vanessa Edwin, January LaVoy, Jonathan Davis, Scott Brick, Shane East, Savannah Peachwood, Sean Crisden, Maxine Mitchell, Brian Pallino
After listening to the first 3 in the is series, I had so many unanswered questions. Not only did Lauren Blakely answer them all, but she wove the most passionate of romances into the story. We get to know the last of the Sloan brothers, Michael and his second chance at finding love with Annalise. These two are incredible together! Michael is just swoon worthy and his undying love for this girl, even years later emanates from the story. He knows what he wants and he isn’t going to let her get away. Annalise has some things to work through, and I love how she gets advice that changes everything. Fantastic romance, but that is not what I really love about this book. It’s the history. The flashback scenes of what happened to Tommy, how all the characters, like Sanders, Luke, Dora and Tommy are all interconnected and how things all came to fruition. It’s suspenseful and so gratifying to get the answers!!!! Loved every minute of this series and how Blakely reimagined it!
This ensemble of narrators is incredible. Each one gave something to the performance, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sebastian York as Michael always gives me that coming home feeling. Vanessa Edwin just never ceases to amaze me, and the ease of going from a French accent to American is flawless.Sean Crsiden nails Tommy. Each time he began to speak, I was drawn into the past. Add in Tim Paige, Jason Clarke, January LaVoy, Jonathan Davis, Shane East, Samantha Cook, Maxine Mitchell, Savannah Peachwood, Scott Brick and Brian Pallino and I was just loving their own narrations and then the conversations! It’s so much fun and very entertaining.

It’s been an action-packed ride to reach this last book in this four-part series, and My Sinful Love carries the torch with aplomb. This is the conclusion to the story of how the Paige-Princes became Sloans and what really happened the night their father was murdered. It’s been eighteen years since the events that left them all but orphans.
This was a compelling story from the very first page, full of drama and mystery, and of course the sassy banter and sexy scenes that Lauren writes with such ease.
This was Michael and Annalise’s story. Annalise Delacroix was the girl who got away. She and Michel were sweethearts before his father’s untimely demise. But, they split afterward and now, years later they meet again.
Annalise is now a widow, and if Michel wants to win her back, he’s going to have to go all out and open up to her. He’s got a battle to win her heart again and it’s one he’ll face head-on. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes in this story, and does Annalise unknowingly hold a clue?
I really enjoyed this book and how it ended. Lauren brought all the characters and loose ends from the previous three books and tied them up in a neat little bow.
Stunning conclusion to a fascinating conspiracy mystery!
Michael, the eldest of the Sloan siblings, reunites with his first love in this beautiful, emotionally-charged romance that also wraps up the investigation into his father’s murder. High school sweethearts, separated by too many miles and too many years, reunite as adults, but are they ready to take a chance on each other? The love story between Michael and Annalise was fraught with tension yet balanced with so much love and history. I thoroughly enjoyed the way their reconnecting helped uncover some long-forgotten, yet pivotal, details that blew the investigation wide open.
And wow, I never expected this mystery to blow up into such a vast conspiracy! The author brilliantly tied in clues from the earlier books that didn’t even look like clues at the time! To say I didn’t see the ending coming is an understatement; I had absolutely NO IDEA of the depths that it went to.
I was so happy to see all the Sloans get their HEAs and, finally, have all the answers and justice they deserved regarding their father. The multiple POV approach is used very successfully, giving us all the angles so that we, too, have all the answers we want. A few chapters were flashbacks from the father’s POV, and those were especially poignant to read.
While this, like the earlier books in the series, is a standalone romance, because all of them follow the murder mystery they definitely should be read in order. As a set, they’re a fascinating look at crime and family dynamics, and I highly recommend the entire series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
My Sinful Love, Book #4 in the Sinful Men Series is a sexy, emotional, and suspenseful romance that will have you hanging onto every word! It is told from present-day to the past, and back again. This is Michael Sloane and Analise Delacroix’s story.
She’s the one who got away. She knew me before my father’s murder. Before it changed me. He has never forgotten his first love, Annalise. After his father’s murder, their relationship didn’t continue. It’s years later and Michael never fell in love with anyone else. Annalise did but after her husband’s passing, they are both single. The road should be clear right? Not so much. Michael has secrets he is keeping. Analise is still dealing with her husband’s death. If he wants a chance with her, he’ll have to fess up but Annalise just may hold the key to his father’s unsolved murder. Their chemistry is still strong and undeniable. Can they get past the obstacles that stand in their way to find a way to be together again?
This book is the culmination of all of the books in the series. She keeps us on the edge, gripping our seats, needing to know what happens in the end. Lauren Blakely does a fantastic job of revealing who is involved and how the situation started. The secrets are revealed in an unexpected manner that had my jaw dropping open. I could not put this book down. It was the perfect ending.
***ARC generously provided in exchange for an honest review.***
This is has been one of the best series that I have read and enjoyed. Lauren always pulls me in with her storylines and characters and this story was no different.
All of the siblings had their turn to tell their stories, and now it was Michael’s turn to shine. His was a true love, second-chance story. While reading the series, Michael has always intrigued me. I just knew his book would be great. When Michael was younger, he had a connection with a french exchange student named Annalise-his one true love. When Annalise had to go back home, she and Michael tried to stay in touch. But it was hard and they did lose their way. However, they do reconnect much later in life. I really really loved Michael and Annalise together. Their story was a true romantic story. It was about two people who were meant to be together and were able to find their way back together. Life took them on a detour but they were able to get back on track. That Michael Sloan is such a sweetheart. Not only was this a story about love but there was also a mystery in the background throughout the series. Throughout the three previous books, we have been getting new information to a tragedy that affected the whole Sloan family. Well, in Sinful Love we get the last significant details that will finally solve this mystery. And it was intense!
Lauren really delivered in this book to the Sinful Men series. The twists and mysteries surrounding this family were woven together perfectly with the love story. I was so engrossed in this book. I couldn’t read fast enough to see what would happen next. This was such a thrilling ride. Lauren never ceases to disappoint me. Her books are always a nice breath of fresh air when I need it. Overall, this book was fantastic.
