M. And Nana Malone continue with the Blake Security team. This time it’s a story we’ve been waiting for, Matthias. In the Prequel Before Sin we get more of a back story of when Matthias was younger. I highly recommend reading it before reading Sin. I have been patiently waiting for this story and I was not let down at all! It’s everything I LOVE about the Blake Security guys!
This story is Powerful, dangerous, chopped full of intrigue and twists and turns that will leave you gasping! Matthias’s character has been one I’ve been intrigued about. Wanting his story. Wanted to know how he became who he is.
Watching his story unfold had me captivated. I couldn’t get through this book fast enough. And the Gemma twist had me more intrigued. I can’t wait to see what happens with the rest of this story. I got to know what happens next! With especially how Sin ended. With that choice Matthia’s made.
Sin is Matthias’s story and this is the book I have been waiting for! From the beginning Matthias intrigued me so I was just waiting for his story and book 1 did not disappoint . The heroine in this book is Gemma and the relationship between these two spans past and present. The way Gemma and Matthias meet is unconventional but yet seems pretty perfect for the two of them. Throughout the book you learn a lot about Matthias before Noah rescued him. The development of his relationship with Gemma and how it winds through his past his excellently written. The interplay between Matthias and his “brothers” is very humorous and you realize how much you love this little family that has been created. The monster of a cliffhanger at the end of this book is absolutely killing me and I cannot wait for the second book! Another well written story! Love these characters!
Wow I knew things haunted Matthias but I had no idea how his past had turned him into a monster that he has to keep chained up so no one sees what lays beneath the surface. His past is coming back to him at full speed and there is only so much h can do to try and deflect from his new family but is it going to be enough. We get to see him in a most venerable way as well as when the monster is full unleashed and go through so tormented time that will leave you nails bitten down to the quick and the ending OMG are you freaking serious!!!
Holy smokes, people, Sin is fantastic! I’ve been waiting for Matthias’ story since I first started reading this series (Shameless). This first part of the duet does not disappoint in any way.
Matthias’ backstory is heartbreaking and explains so much, explains Matthias’ unique personality. I loved seeing him fall in love, and with such a fabulous heroine, the love of his young life. I like her backstory, too, but I have to admit I hated that she was lying to Matthias at every turn. I understand why, but it was pretty upsetting. And then of course, that crazy ending, all brought upon by Gemma’s lies. It blazed in from out of the blue and broke my heart. I am anxiously awaiting the conclusion to the story that is probably even better than the Shameless series.
Wow! I have read all of the Blake Security books up to now (Shameless Trilogy, Force Duet, Deep Duet, and Before Sin) and I can’t get enough of these characters. Sin is Matthias’ story and just WOW!! I always wondered what drove him to become the killing machine he was and what kept him wound so tight. The duet brings his story to life. Once I started reading I didn’t want to put the book down and read well into the night…what an ending…CLIFFHANGER!!! Glad we don’t have to wait too long for the conclusion to this story. His story is intense and filled with emotion, turmoil, hope, devastation, SO much emotion…and barely holding it together…and then not when everything he had been hoping for blows up in his face and he becomes the monster he had worked so hard to contain…just WOW!! M. Malone has done it again!!!
What an amazing story for Matthias and Gemma!
Matthias’s back story has been a long time coming, and more than worth the wait. Gemma has the same background, but finds herself on assignment to take out a target not knowing that he’s the same guy she knew as a kid. Matthias knows the threat is coming and thinks he knows who is doing the sending, but he has no idea – and is in no way prepared – for who is sent to bring him in.
The romance between these two is so raw, so honest, it almost brought me to tears. But the secrets between them are almost insurmountable! The final scene and cliffhanger was nail-biting and explosive, leaving each character in a position where you really can’t see how they’re going to come back from this!
Anytime I get to read about the Blake Security guys I know I’m in for a good time, and this book really delivers on that promise. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for the conclusion to hit my kindle! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
An awesome book. Extremely entertaining, captivating and interesting sexy read. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written with strong characters. I want to read more from this author. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
I don’t even know what to say other than WOW, but here goes. This book has me on the edge of my seat and left me with my mouth hanging open. Not to mention the “Noooo” I yelled at the end of the book.
I have been waiting for Matthias’ story, and it was well worth the wait. I do have to say, under full disclosure, this is a cliffhanger. I hate cliffhangers. But, I can’t wait for the next book.
The transformations in Matthias’ personality and his thought processes are enough to hold your attention. Add in the rest of the group, the surprise, and the intrigue from both ORUS and the Family, and it is hard to put this book down.
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy.
Just WOW! This is the beginning of Matthias’ story and it is as explosive as he can be. Ever since the reader was introduced to this character, you just knew that sparks were going to fly when his story finally came to light. Matthias has been restraining himself from letting out the “monster” inside of him and would do anything to protect his new family at Blake Security but there is someone threatening everything and everyone he holds dear. Can he keep it together or will he lose himself to his past? This is one story that will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. It does end in a cliffhanger but that just keeps you revving your engine for the next installment in this amazing series. I highly recommend this book and cannot wait to read the next part of Matthias’ story.
I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.
An emotional, turbulent, electrifying convergence of past and present. Matthias has lived a life of survival, devoid of normalcy. The former ORUS agent is now a valued member of Blake Security. He is determined to eradicate the evil enterprise that governed his childhood and haunts his present. His determination to demolish them has set a course of events that could be cataclysmic, not just for him but his Blake Security family. Gemma is on a mission that is life or death, for her and her dearest friend. Having infiltrated The Family she has to complete one more assignment, before striking at the inner sanctum of the nefarious organization. What happens next? You definitely have to read this story…but be prepared to wait with bated breath, because there is a thrilling cliffhanger. I can’t wait for part 2!
Excellent contemporary romance with violence and a cliffhanger. Matthias now works for Blake Security but he knows that the killing monster inside him keeps trying to get out. He avoids becoming attached to anyone. His past with the violent Family is out to kill him and it’s in the form of Gemma/Gigi has come back to haunt him. I received a complementary copy of this book and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading the future books in this exciting series.
I gave this book five stars because it was awesome. I just love reading about the Blake Security team. Gemma and Matthias were truly the perfect couple. I was so scared for Gemma when Matthias learned the truth and now Matthias is on the war path. I can’t wait for the next book. Good job ladies!
What did I just read? My heart is pounding and I need to know how this story ends! Matthias’s past is catching up with him and Gemma might just be collateral damage. That she can affect him in a way no one has ever been able to scares him and all it takes is one little push for his inner monster to appear. Can the monster be contained long enough to fight what is coming for him? I found myself rooting for this couple, even if I secretly wanted Matthias to get with Ariel from the Cheeky duet books.
Oh my! What in the world is going on with Matthias? Such a fast pace book with lots of emotion. I can’t wait to see how this one turns out.
Mathias is a man with a complicated past and can be dangerous if not handled carefully. He is also a bodyguard and one day a woman comes into his life that needs help(or so it seems) and for some reason, he is drawn to her. He is not sure why he is drawn to her, but he is and it scares him because he thinks with his past he will never fall in love or have a woman in his life. Gemma comes into his life to cause trouble at first and then she finds out that she is part of his complicated past and it makes things complicated for them both. She has job to do and so does he. Then he finds out what he thinks he knows is the truth about her and his inner beast comes out and who knows what will happen
You will not want to miss this amazing book. It is going to draw you in from the first word and keep you hanging in till the last word.
Ex-ORUS agent turned bodyguard Matthias Weller has been slowly dismantling the Family’s empire ever since they sold him to ORUS and now they want him dead. ORUS agent Gemma Boyd is working undercover with the Family and has to carry out one last job, kill a target, before getting to Father and rescuing her friend Sabine. Gemma’s assignment becomes complicated when she realises her target is Matt, the boy she loved and lost. Matthias is overcome when he finds out Gemma is Gigi, the only person he’d loved who had loved him back. What happens to Matt and Gemma’s happy reunion when Matt finds out about Gemma’s mission with ORUS?
M. Malone and Nana Malone deliver a funny, suspenseful and steamy story that you won’t be able to put down. I can’t wait to read Sinful, Book 2 of The Sin Duet to find out what happens next.
Another fantastic Blake security installment. This one is Matthias’ and has his past coming for him. Love finally learning of his background and his relationship with Gigi. Major cliffhanger that left me with my mouth open!!! Can’t wait for the next one!
Mathias has to be my favourite character from the Blake security world. I’ve waited more or less patiently for his story, and I wasn’t disappointed in the slightest. This is the darkest of the series so far, beautifully crafted with fantastic characters. This is a real page turner. Can’t wait for the next installment. I voluntarily received an ARC of this book.
Mathias knows how to be unpredictable, he just hasn’t figured out how to be vulnerable. Danger haunts him, emotions scare him, but love hides beneath the beast in his soul. He’s a good man with a complicated past and a heavy heart, struggling to bury his demons. What happens when the darkness is unleashed and the past invades his present? Sin idles at red alert. The depth of emotions are hard to fight your way through. Gemma and Mathias are cool to the touch, but hot to the senses. SIN burns as it reveals and heals as it breaks.
Wow! This book blew me away! I couldn’t put it down! I can’t wait for Sinful to find out what is going to happen next!
