They say a Riscoff and a Gable can never live happily ever after . . . but I’m not done with Whitney Gable.
I’ll never be done with her.

Each book Meghan March writes is better than the last. This one is no exception. The Riscoff’s and the Gable’s have been locked in a bitter family feud for generations. They could never see past the end of their noses to resolve the issues, now an unlikely romance has thrown a kink in the hate.
“I couldn’t help but think about keeping her. Making her mine. Saying f— the feud. My family. Her family. She’s different. She wanted me despite who I was. That meant something to me, and I didn’t want to lose it. That was when I decided exactly how I’d prevent it from happening. I’m going to make her fall in love with me.”
A page turner from start to finish, I can’t wait to see where these two characters will take us in the future!
Meghan is the queen of cliff hangers and angsty characters. Luckily we don’t have to wait long until the release of the second in the trilogy.
Her blue eyes are unforgettable. Ten years. Ten thousand years. It doesn’t matter. I could never forget Whitney Gable’s blue eyes. I’ve been bulshitting myself for a decade if I thought I could.
WOW!
Coming into this story, I was expecting an epic love story the likes of Romeo and Juliet sweeping across the pages. And while, conceptually on some level with the feuding families, it alluded to that ideal, this was a story unique unto itself. Initially, I didn’t learn too much about the feud, except that the Riscoffs were buying out the town of Gable, the name of the family they so hated.
…but all was not roses and sunshine in the house of Riscoff, and there seems to be so much in the inner workings of these families and goodness knows what caused this feud to begin with.
The Characters
I’ve found that Meghan March seems to always write complex and dimensional characters. This story was no different, and it seems that each character goes so deeply that they may never reveal all of themselves.
We focus on Lincoln and Whitney, who share a story that begins from deep attraction, but evolves into something more. Each time they try to get close the more that could be a forever, something comes in their way. Each of these characters is strong, in their own sense, but also vulnerable to distractions and disillusionment from those around them. Whitney faced her own struggles outside of her affection for Lincoln and away from her family. Lincoln struggled against himself and expectations, along with all the secrets boiling within the Riscoff family.
Whitney’s aunt Jackie and cousin Cricket are amazing! They seriously made me laugh out loud and wish I could merit some of their loyalty. Having these two in my corner would awesome.
The Story
I was a little worried this would be too Romeo & Juliet-esque, but I should’ve known better with this author. The story does give the vibe from the Shakespearean classic, but it doesn’t seem to follow the same tragic vein. It’s obvious there is bad blood between the families, but I was hard pressed to get a true answer or even too many clues as to the past between these two families.
There were a lot of twists and turns, secrets, and miscommunication fueling the “tragedy” of this romance, but there is still so much more to this story than just a possible romance and I love that nothing is easily handed to the reader.
Also, HOLY CLIFFHANGER! Gah! I always love reading these stories, but HATE waiting for the next installment! I’m beyond anxiously awaiting the next story in this series!
4.5 holy wow stars! Another awesome world. The tension, betrayal, love,and powerful characters keep your adrenaline pumping. The cliffhanger at the end left my stomach in knots. OMG!! I can’t wait for more!!!
Meghan March completely captivated me with Richer Than Sin, Book one of her Sin Series. It was beautifully written, with a perfect balance of the past and present to push the story along. I am dying to get my hands on the next book in this series. I have to know what happens next.
Though Whitney has come home to lick her wounds and start over, her life seems destined to be entwined with Lincoln. Their families are sworn enemies. Their combustible chemistry is undeniable. She may want to fight it until her last dying breath, but for Whitney and Lincoln, the past has a way of repeating itself. But if Lincoln has it his way, the outcome will be vastly different.
I thought Meghan’s last series was her best. But it just might be this one. Holy cow I loved this book! Lincoln and Whitney are from different classes as far as money, and that means Lincoln’s mother is a witch and doesn’t want them together, even if that makes her son happy. Their families have been feuding for years and years. But when they hooked up, no last names were exchanged and there was an amazing connection there. When Whitney discovers who Lincoln is, she wants nothing to do with him, even though it breaks her heart. The story of their struggle to overcome the odds is amazing!! Can’t wait for books 2 and 3!
The first book in the Sin trilogy-Richer Than Sin was an addictive engrossing novel. This modern-day Romeo and Juliette novel will grab your attention from the start and keep you hooked until the end.
The story was amazing. Told in dual POV and in both the past and present day we are given a good understanding of Whitney and Lincoln’s relationship and the events that lead them to the present day.
These two characters were so perfect for each other. With an instantaneous chemistry that could not be denied they steamed up the pages from the minute the first met.
The secondary characters all added to the story and I have to admit I loved Magnus and Commodore and Cricket and Hunter.
Meghan March is the queen of cliff-hangers and this one was unbelievable. It was definitely one you would not have seen coming and OMG I need more now.
This page-turner was a fantastic introduction to what is likely to be a phenomenal trilogy. Worthy of more than 5 stars I absolutely loved this novel and I would highly recommend it.
What a first time read for me – as I’m new to Meghan March! Loved the chemistry and dynamic and history with Lincoln and Whitney!
And what a cliffhanger!!
I loved how the past story was brought in throughout the book and the relationship of these characters and those around them!
Can’t wait for Guilty as Sin!!
Meghan March has got to be one of my top favorite authors of all time. Richer then Sin did not disappoint and only made me fall even more in love with this women. Richer then Sin is a second chance love story that was crazy hot, sexy and will pull you into to this intriguing world with just the prologue. Lincoln and Whitney are two people who fell in love with each other but quickly find out that they are from rival families. This story at first sounds so much like your run of the mill Romeo and Juliet story but is so far from that. Meghan March keeps you guessing and every time you think you have everything figured, you find another piece to the puzzle you never even know was even in play. Of course being the queen of cliffhangers this book does leaving with more questions then when you started. I know I wont be disappointed and I cant wait to see where their story takes us next!
Family rivalry, small town scandal, and two souls you can just tell are meant to be. But what happens when everything and everyone seem to be rooting against you? You get a fabulous story full of tension, steamy chemistry, and cautious hearts. Can’t wait to see if Whitney and Lincoln get their happily ever after!!
I love love love Meghan March books. She is always a one click author for me. Whitney and Lincoln were well developed characters. Her side characters make you want to get to know them. Everything and everyone in the book drew you in to their world. My only complaint is that Meghan needs to start releasing all of her series books on the same day because you just NEED to know how things are going to end. Queen of the Alphas and cliffhangers. GREAT BOOK!
Oh Lincoln, he is oh so swoon worthy. This book is the perfect blend of chosing what is right for your family and what is right for yourself and what can happen when both don’t mesh. “Perfection walked out of my life the day you married another man”. I need the next book like STAT. Meghan always has the best cliffhangers and this one is not different!
Lord 5 stars is not doing this book justice at all!! And I can tell that this is going to be one exceptional and phenomenal series that is absolutely going to blow my mind and I can’t wait!!! And I’m already getting started with book one!! From the first page to the last page I fell into Meghan’s world that she had beautifully crafted and did not want it to end!! This book is just to delicious to give anything away!! You need to read every word for yourself and get to know Lincoln and Whitney all on your own. Of course if you’ve read a Meghan March book you will understand this if you haven’t you need to read one and you will so get this!! I highly highly recommend this book!! Now just waiting on pins and needles for the next book!!! Gah!!!! I loved this book!!! – By Tina
So honestly my whole review should just consist fo “Huh, I DID NOT see that coming!” since that’s exactly how I felt when I got to the last page and it’s about all I can actually tell you because in Meghan March style this is a total jaw-dropping cliffhanger!
I honestly don’t know how to feel right now, I mean did that person do something they were’t supposed to? Is that other person just plain jumping the gun? What if that ‘bad’ person isn’t really so bad after all…could that even be possible? What the heck is going on? What I do know is that I really enjoyed these characters. I loved Riscoff’s love for Whitney, that he is never in doubt that even after all this time she’s still the one. I loved Whitney’s desire to just be happy, especially just to be happy in the life she is given. I adored Whitney’s best friend and cousin Cricket, she’s a wild one, lol. I hated her other cousin, I mean what is up with that? I am sure there’s a story for her behavior and we’ll get it eventually. And the Grandpas! They were my favorite.
This is a steamy read that vacillates between he present and the past and is written in dual POV. It’s a quick read with a lot of heart and heat. You will totally be sucked in and wanting more right away. This is one of those series that I want everyone to read right now but at the same time I want to tell you to wait till all the books come out so you don’t have to be like me…hanging off the cliff by one pinky finger! I NEED TO KNOW!
~ HAPPY READING ~
Okay –I have a complete bias as I have read all of Meghan’s books to date and Ruthless King will always be my favorite — but this is an incredibly close second. This is a modern day feud that originated between Lincoln and Whitney’s families over 170 years ago. This book is the most perfect set up for what is to come as I feel I have all the information and background to all the players in the story and I am ready to go for more. Like all books by Meghan however I know there will be a few curveballs thrown my way in the next book.
Truly a magnificent start to what is bound to be an amazing trilogy.
Five bursting STARS! This was a fantastic beginning akin to an old tale I won’t mention right. Fasten your seatbelts people Richer Than Sin is worth every moment of your time. I couldn’t stop thinking about this novel when I was unable to flip pages and found myself sneaking away from reality to dive back in numerous times.
Cannot wait for Guilty as Sin!!!
Hopelessly in love with this book!
Riscoff, Gable….Gable, Riscoff!!
Totally has an element of the Romeo and Juliet vibe but with so much more!!!
Whitney, aka-Blue, is a Gable through and through. Her family name equals nothing but loss and it’s all because of the Riscoff family.
The Riscoff family rules the world in the town of Gable-but what happens when a king takes notice of a servant? I’ll tell you what………….EVERYTHING!
It’s a chance meeting, identities unknown, and a past and present that makes this story undeniably addictive.
Blue is beautiful, smart and branded with the Gable name. She tries to escape, only to have her world turned upside down and then tossed right back into the town (and the man) that is completely forbidden and no matter how hard she tries to forget, unforgettable.
Lincoln, is a Riscoff. He sees what he wants…and he gets it. When his sights are set on Blue, all hell breaks loose. The timing shouldn’t be the most awful and perfect moment written….
But it is!!!!! AND it makes this book what it is……PERFECTION!!!
Completely in love with Lincoln and the man that he is in this story. Can totally relate with the struggles and torment that Blue has been and is going through. The right, the wrong, the need, the want. Ahhhhhh!
You feel it all in every page and I couldn’t get enough!
I would highly, HIGHLY recommend this book! This author just keeps on topping herself with a better read. Each. And. Every. Time! She has a magic about her that introduces me to characters that I fall in love with and think they are it for me…and then brings in another set that makes me fall harder. That said, I never forget those that came before them.
A great quality in an author, right?
Go get this book and have no fear, the wait for the other two aren’t far away. We’re talking mere weeks.
Go get it!! You will not be disappointed!
Meghan March definitely knows how to write a story that draws you right in and keeps the pages turning!
The development of her characters and the intrigue she weaves through her books is why you need to check out the first book in her latest series, Richer Than Sin!
It’s all about who you are and what family you came from in this forbidden love, second chance love story.
I cannot wait to see where Meghan takes this story in the next two books! I know I will not be disappointed and neither will you!
This trilogy is off to a good start. I will admit, I had a harder time getting into this book than I have other Meghan March books. There is a lot of present and past stuff going on and sometimes I got a little lost.
Lincoln and Whitney are caught up in their families feud that has lasted a lot of years. It’s somewhat a Romeo Juliet scenario, but let’s hope it doesn’t play out that way! Whitney married 10 years ago and left Lincoln behind. She returns home with her life in shambles. Lincoln won’t let her walk away from him a second time. He doesn’t care what his family says about it, although he could lose everthing to be with her.
This is book 1 of 3 and I’m excited to see what’s next for Whitney and Lincoln.
My newest addiction! Richer Than Sin grabs hold of you from page 1 and takes you on a wild and steamy ride to the very last sentence! I can’t wait for Guilty as Sin!! #RiscoffandGable4Ever #MeghanMarch #RicherThanSin
A family feud……Hatfield and McCoys…..Romeo and Juliet…..A forbidden romance. Richer than Sin is a sassy, fast pace, quick witted love story full of angst and determination. From the first page to the last, I was completely absorbed in Lincoln Riscoff and Whitney Gable’s explosive, volatile, lustful and passionate off and on again relationship. Told in past and present and dual POVs, we get to see how Whitney and Lincoln found each other, tried with each other and eventually lost one another.
The feud between families was infamous. The Riscoff’s flourished while the Gable’s floundered. And the hatred between the family soared until Lincoln and Whitney met on a faithful night that would forever change them. Even though they had a connection and a passionate spark, that feud between the families was enough to tear them apart and send Whitney into the arms of another man. But 10 yrs later, Whitney returns home alone. And this time, Lincoln is bound and determined to get what he lost, no matter what it takes. Whitney Gable belongs to Lincoln and this time she isn’t getting away.
The chase is addicting and passionate. Lincoln and his determination in getting Whitney to see what they are to each other is sexy and alluring. But Whitney is broken and believes that she brings chaos to her loved ones and the one she loves. But Lincoln knows otherwise and must prove to Whitney that he is the right and only man for her. It’s not gonna be easy with all the baggage from the past. But the past is the past and the future is now and Lincoln is bound and determined to make things right.
It’s gonna be a very bumpy ride for these two. There are secrets and lies to be uncovered between the two families. The ending was quite an eye opening statement…….AN OMG…..NO WAY…..kinda cliffhanger. It just makes me excited for the next book in the series. It won’t be an easy journey I can tell, but it will be one full of angst and explosive sexy times while trying to make Lincoln and Whitney work. And I’m sure lots more secrets will come to light.
A great start to a fun, passionate, sexy enemies to lovers, second chance romance. Bring on a Book 2!!
