It was wrong to stay together … but we couldn’t stay apart.I’ve been with my share of women, but none touched my heart and fired my senses the way she did. Her smile enticed me. Her caresses teased me. Her body aroused me.And yet, it couldn’t last. There were too many years between us. A gap we couldn’t breach, and we broke it off. No. I broke it off. And I’ve regretted that decision ever since. regretted that decision ever since.
Now she’s in danger, and there’s no one else I trust to protect her. But the more time we spend together, the more I want her back. And all I know now is I have to keep her safe—and despite both of us knowing better, somehow, someway, she will be mine again.

A must have in the Blackwell-Lyon series!
Hot, hot, and oh, did I mention HOT?!?! Julie Kenner never disappoints when I am in the mood for a fast, sexy read.
3.75 stars–SEXY LITTLE SINNER is the third instalment (and novella) in J.Kenner’s contemporary, adult BLACKWELL-LYON erotic, romance series focusing on the men and women who work for Blackwell-Lyon Security. This is twenty-five year old,Kerrie Blackwell and forty year old, Connor Lyon’s story line. SEXY LITTLE SINNER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. There is a slight cross-over with the author’s Stark series.
Told from first person perspective (Connor Lyon ) SEXY LITTLE SINNER follows the second chance, rekindling relationship between twenty-five year old, Kerrie Blackwell and forty year old, Connor Lyon. Kerrie and Connor share a past; a prior relationship of which Connor ended, in most part, due to their age difference and the potential of becoming a burden upon the woman he loves but Blackwell-Lyon’s new client is desperate to uncover the who and how of the theft of proprietary information, a investigation that requires Kerrie and Connor to pretend to be a loving couple. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Kerrie and Connor, and the potential fall-out as Connor continues to deny his feelings for Kerrie, forcing our heroine to make plans for the future, alone.
SEXY LITTLE SINNER is a fast paced story of second chances; a story of betrayal, secrets and lies; of heart break, resolution and intimate surroundings. Kerrie Blackwell continues to reinforce her attraction to Connor by insisting they remain friends (mentioned 42 times), a friendship that pushes all of Connor’s buttons including his need to protect the woman with whom he has fallen in love.
We are reintroduced to business partners Pierce Blackwell, and Cayden Lyon, as well as the introduction of Leonardo Vincent Palermo, a former military buddy of Pierce. The premise is intriguing and entertaining; the characters are colorful and energetic; the romance is steamy and intense.
“—how the hell are we supposed to get over each other and slide back into being just friends if the air crackles every time we’re in close proximity?”
I’ve been enjoying the Blackwell-Lyon series, but it’s this one I’ve really been waiting for. I’ve been seeing glimpses of this couple in the previous stories and I knew there was some tension between them that I wanted to take a closer look at.
He’s older than her. The gap is too big, at least in his head. He broke up with her thinking that it was the best thing he could do for her. But, tell that to his heart. He still wants her…
She understands his reasons for leaving her and what they had, but that doesn’t make it any less painful. She’s been a good sport, playing nice, not jumping him like a tree. Though they both know that’s exactly what she wants to do. He’s also her friend and she doesn’t want to lose him completely, so she tortures herself by seeing him and knowing he can’t be hers.
The tension is so thick you can cut it with a knife and I just wanted to throw some water on them like a couple of fighting cats. Or, maybe throw a lit match so the sparks between them would ignite and they wouldn’t be able to deny the truth any longer. He needs a wakeup call that will make him realize that age is just a number and she’s the best thing that ever happened to him, before it’s too late! How long will she be around to tempt him before some other man comes along and takes what he let go? Or, danger. That could work too, right?
The investigative side to this series is very interesting and I had fun doing my armchair profiling. The action and suspense is almost as entertaining as the passion between the couples. I thought this would be the last book, but I’m excited to report that there will be at least one more mystery to solve. The line forms here…
I love a second-chance romance. Add in the best-friend’s little sister along with it and I am in reader heaven!
And that’s exactly where I found myself reading Sexy Little Sinner. Through the other books in this delightful, fun, sexy, smart series, we’ve had glimpses of the relationship between Connor and Kerrie. Seen that there was still something simmering between them, even though Connor lived in Denialville for way to long.
I loved that Connor finally shed his wariness . . . though, the green-eyed jealousy monster definitely helped with his decision. He’d been in love with Kerrie for years, but didn’t feel worthy of her and her youth. And most definitely didn’t feel worthy of her love.
But Kerrie wasn’t having it any longer. She knew she couldn’t keep living with hiding her love for Connor. Hoping he’d come to his senses at last. And I cheered her on from the sidelines! I loved seeing her try to spread her wings, try to protect her heart, and try to move on.
And I absolutely loved when they finally got it together. And came together in the end. Seriously swoony. And I cannot wait until Leo’s story is told next! ~ Missy, 4.5 stars
True J. Kenner style, this book was just amazing! I could not put this one down!
Follow the story of Kerrie & Connor. They were together but Connor doesn’t want to hold her back because he’s so much older then her so he broke it off. Only problem is the chemistry between them always brings them back together!
Their story is hot, and the author through her words, makes you feel a part of the story, and it gives you all the feels! 5 tons of amazing stars for this one!! Grab this asap!
I was provided a copy of this book so that I could leave an honest review.
Another great book. This book is from the Blackwell-Lyon series. It can be read alone but there are some past chartacters who are in this book too. It is nice to have the books link like that. This book was a quick read that hooked me from the get go.
This book is about Conner and Kerrie. I loved their age gap story and how it ended well. I can’t wait to see what comes next.
Sexy Little Sinner by J. Kenner is Blackwell-Lyon book #3. All of the books in this series have been fun and fast and this one was no exception. Kerrie and Connor have been present in past books and this one featuring them was a great addition. This book brought aspects of age difference and issues with Kerrie being the little sister of Connor’s best friend. The feelings between them were undeniable, yet the hang-ups that they have to get over gives them real hurdle to jump over.
Overall I liked that Kerrie and Connor got their book and their happily ever after. This story really brought things full circle for the characters in this series and was flirtatious, sexy and romantic in it’s own right. I very much recommend Sexy Little Sinner by J. Kenner, and all the other books in this series, if you are looking for a quick, hot read.
(I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book I received for free from the publisher in exchange for my open and honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.)
Sexy Little Sinner by J. Kenner is an amazing and phenomenal read. This is the 3rd book in the series of The Blackwell=Lyon family which I have not read the other ones, but after this one I need to go back and read the other 2. Conner and Kerrie’s story is different. My different I mean, you have the whole, cant date because she my best friends little sister but also because it has an age gap. 14 years basically. Well through this whole book, we see the tension these both have together and both would love to be a part of one an another, but they just cant bring themselves to it. Especially Connor. But it all changes when they go undercover, together. That’s when things start changing and it starts to get steamy.
YOu can feel the sexual tension between these two, now all it is, will it be taken care of? Ofc you also have the drama, and suspense through the whole story.
This is such a fun story about 2 friends who had a relationship but Connor decides to break it off with Kerrie because she is over 10 years younger than he is. She is also the younger sister of one of his business partners and the office manager. Even though they both have feelings for each other Connor feels that he is doing what is best in the long run for Kerrie since he doesn’t believe in marriage and knows that Kerrie deserves a husband and family!
When Connor and Kerrie has to go undercover as a couple to try and get information on a bad guy, it is so funny and hot what they had to do undercover. After the assignment is over, Kerrie decides that she needs to move on and in order to do that, she needs to move away. Connor gets some advice from his brother, another partner in their company, about his belief of marriage. Connor must get to Kerrie in time to tell her about his feelings but their undercover assignment could put Kerrie in danger.
This is such a fun read. I really enjoy the undercover assignment part of it so you should read to find out what the assignment entails! Another great story in the Blackwell-Lyon series!
A fast paced, heart scorching read that had feelings galore. Be ready for an edge of your seat second chance romance from Julie Kenner.
Connor broke up with Kerri for legit reasons but his heart and below the pants want her back. Kerrie understands the logistics all too clearly, but working together doesn’t help the situation… until an investigation throws them together. Can they keep it professional?
As per all Kenner books, really enjoyed it. Loved the banter and the red-hot chemistry. well done Julie!
5 How Long Can He Resist Her Stars!!
I’ve been waiting to see what the deal is with Kerrie and Connor because there’s been a niggling in my mind since I read the first book in this series…and I was RIGHT!!! There’s so much more to them than co-workers, but they kinda, sorta hid it well.
Connor is of the mind they can’t be together because of their age difference, fourteen years, oh and the fact that she’s his best friend’s little sister, but that doesn’t stop Kerrie. She knows in her heart Connor is the man for and she’ll do whatever it takes to get her man.
What neither expect is that she’ll be in need of the investigative services of Blackwell-Lyon. This of course spurs our man to protect his woman. Oh and these two are magic together. Their hot and sweaty and sheet gripping and loud together. I loved every minute of it.
I love how we get to see another side of the guys at Blackwell-Lyon and how much they really do want the best for each other, even if at times they don’t agree with how things go! Seeing this man who’s all alpha fall in love so completely made me smile because if anyone deserves the kind of love Kerrie can bring into his life it’s Connor!
Ms. Kenner is and will always be a go-to author for me and once again I devoured her words and cannot wait for the next book in this series!!
This little world gets better and better. This has been my top fav out of the 3 book series. Its a forbidden love story and it’s told on his POV, which I love!
He thinks he’s too old for her and just will end up being a burden to her. He fights what he feels and wants, believing he’s doing the right thing by pushing her away! He struggles with what he feels, until he cant hold back.
I loved Kerrie. Love her personality. she’s young but she clearly knows what she wants and what she feels.
Its a cute treat. I enjoyed their story and hope I get more of the Blackwell-Lyon company world. J Kenner always writes the best story to enjoy and get lost in.
Damn this book was off the hook! Most definitely a must read!
Conner and Kerrie are amazing. They both have this great chemistry and love for one another. However Conner feels that being just friends is what best for Kerrie. Conner and Kerrie’s friendship will be tested in their work journey. Will they remain friends??? Must read to find out!
I voluntarily received an ARC for an honest review
I couldn’t put this one down! Kerrie and Connor, loved these two. And even though this was told in Connor’s POV, I fell in love with Kerrie first! She was so direct with Connor, she knew what she wanted and she went after it. Such a great strong female character. This is my favorite from J. Kenner’s Blackwell-Lyon books!
Five little sinner stars!
Wow! Let’s start saying that this book was my kryptonite. It has all the elements that make me swoon: steamy sexual tension, age gap between the main characters, tempting and raw romance, passion and a little dose of suspense. Sexy little Sinner by J. Kenner is a sensual and addictive read that worked perfectly for me because this book adds action, deception, true feelings and the story unfolds brilliantly. It was a quick read but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t pack a mighty punch of ardent temptation.
J. Kenner penned a sexy and enticing book where there is no denying that it will captivate you from the beginning and you will want more and more because that’s the effect that her books have on her readers. You don’t read J. Kenner’s books, you devour them because they are so damn good and her writing invite you to let free your inner sinner little girl!
Kerrie and Connor are characters that you will love instantaneously. Their chemistry is intense and unforgettable. Connor trying to do the right thing was sweet but didn’t feel right. Giving up on the intense attraction would make him miserable because he just never expected that doing the right thing was going to hurt like hell. He was foolish to think that Kerrie deserved more than an old man like him when all she wanted was him.
Kerrie is my heroine because she had a patience of a saint. She respected Connor’s decision even though she didn’t like it. It hurt her to not have him but it will hurt more if he lose Connor. She accepted and waited because she already knows that he is the one and she wasn’t going to push him. Connor must realize that they are mean to be together.
Something that was delicious to read was Connor’s POV because I could feel the struggle he had because of the years of difference between him and Kerrie. At some point I wanted to punch him on the face and scream at him that age is only a number.
This book was a perfect addition to the Blackwell-Lyon Series. I can’t wait to read the following books because I can’t get enough of these men and their friends.
Connor had a lot of women but only one that was special and the one he loves, Kerrie, but there is one problem she is fifteen years younger then him. He doesn’t want to be a burden and then he brooke up with her and they became friends. But he just can’t stay away from her and when she is suddenly in danger he knows he make the biggest mistake in his life, bud is it to late for them ? Another fantastic book from a fantastic author. It was exiting and so sweet. I had a smile on my face most of the time. The chemistry between the two of them is so strong and you just know they are ment to be together. I loved every single minute of it.
I have really enjoyed the Blackwell-Lyon book series and have always been curious about this couple. I found that this story really dove deep into the relationship between these two characters and the struggles that they experience. I really enjoyed the way this story played out and could not get enough of them. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Sexy Little Sinner is a fun fast paced steamy read with some danger and action thrown in. This is Connor and Kerrie’s story and I loved the banter and interactions between these two. This is a wonderful story with a cast of great characters that you won’t want to put down.
This was a quick read that I read in one sitting. It gives me a little of everything; heart, heat, and suspense. I like the troupe best friend’s little sister so I knew i would enjoy this one. Connor fights it with all his might, but their chemistry is hard to ignore. Kerrie has a lot of gumption that serves her well when it comes to Connor.
