One of Entertainment Weekly’s Top Ten Romances of 2018! I’m not a good man, and I’ve never pretended to be. I don’t believe in goodness or God or any happy ending that isn’t paid for in advance.What do I believe in? Money. Sex. Macallan 18.They have words for men like me–playboy. Womanizer. Skirt chaser.My brother used to be a priest, and he only has one word for me.Sinner.Sinner is a standalone … and he only has one word for me.
Sinner.
Sinner is a standalone companion to Priest about Father Bell’s brother Sean. You do not have to read Priest or Midnight Mass to read Sinner more
Sean is this story is !! You don’t have to read Priest first but I would. Just makes more sense. Sierra Simone is just amazing. You get the hotness as always but also humor and GREAT character development. A must for me. Highly recommended!
I’m not even going to pretend that I can properly tell you how much I LOVED SINNER, just know that this book was EVERYTHING!!! I FLOVED EVERY SINFUL MINUTE OF IT! I loved the characters…I loved Zenny’s mixture of innocence and assertiveness and Sean’s bossiness and his heart. (Getting this book from Sean’s POV also allowed for a very delightful read BTW *wink) I loved the story, it was completely unique in every way. I simply loved EVERYTHING! Just when I thought it was impossible for Sierra to outdo herself, she produces this spellbinding masterpiece and sets the bar a little higher I can’t get over how much emotion and feeling was packed into this book. One thing I DID expect (and definitely wasn’t disappointed with) was the downright filthiness of Sean Bell, but I did NOT expect the level of emotions that went through me while reading. I giggled, I swooned, I blushed *fans self*, I wept, I hurt, and then I was deliriously happy again #allthefeels
I will admit, I was slightly concerned that the age gap in this book was going to be an issue for me, but once again, Sierra proves that whatever she writes, it will consume you in every way and will make you push past your hesitations. In the grand scheme of things, Zenny and Sean’s age is irrelevant, their love transcended ALL all things. I couldn’t care less about their age difference now *wink*
SINNER is completely and utterly addictive and keeps you glued to the page from the sinful beginning to the beautiful end. And I have to say, Sierra’s ability to eloquently write about some delicate subject manners (God, sex, death, belief and unbelief) and produce a book as utterly beautiful as this, is a true testament to abilities as as author. Well done, well done!
Everyone needs to meet Sean and Zenny… like now! If you’ve never read a Sierra Simone novel, READ THIS NOW! U will not regret it.
**Note: this is book #2, but can be read as a standalone**

She smiles again. “Am I your lover?”
“You’re mine,” I say simply, crawling up onto the couch and over her body.
“For a month,” she corrects.
“For a month,” I repeat.

I will be honest I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this book. But I felt that way about Priest as well and I should have known that Simone wouldn’t let me down. This book was a little emotional for me. I know people are talking about how dirty and sexy it was. But for me it was so much more. Oh don’t get me wrong it was dirty and sexy and filled with Sierra Simone filth. 😉 Simone hits on several topics in this book. From religion, biracial relationships, terminal illness, money, power, status, family, love, sex, finding ones true self and happiness. It was beautifully written. This is definitely a must read!!!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I’m going to unbutton these jeans, Zenny,” I tell her. “I’m going to unzip them. Then I’m going to slide my fingers inside your panties and play with what I find there. Yes?”
“Yes,” she breathes, her stomach quivering under my fingertip, and I make good on my word, slowly working the metal jean button through the buttonhole until it pops free.
Zenny gives an answering exhale— shaky but determined. I keep my eyes on her face as I tug the short zipper down , keeping tabs on her expression, on her comfort. Some embarrassment is normal, nerves are to be expected— but there’s a razor-fine balance I need to maintain between giving her what she wants and pushing her too fast. A month just isn’t enough time to do this properly, to cultivate and tend to her blooming lusts. To awaken her body.
If I could ask for anything right now, it would be a year with her. A year of tutoring and teasing and bossing and savoring her. Even a year wouldn’t be enough.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With a stilted breath, she lowers herself onto the sofa, dark curls like a halo around her head on the cushions and her bra and panties pulling tight against her skin as she arranges herself. And I prowl up to her like a cat, like a predator , like a hungry man coming to a banquet table.
“Should I take off my —” Zenny’s thumbs hook in her panties, but I still her movements with a steely look.
“That’s for me,” I say. “I want it.”
“You want to be the one to take off my underwear?” Her thumbs don’t move, so I squat down beside the sofa and give one little nip with my teeth, which sends her hands up to her chest. And then I keep my mouth at her hip as I speak, letting my breath warm and tickle the skin there.
“I’m not going to take off your underwear. I’m going peel this silk off you like the skin of a fruit, and then I’m going to eat you. I’m going to suck on you like a plum. I’m going to unwrap you like a Christmas present and then you’ll see what a happy boy I am.”

“He gets what he wants, he xxx whom he wants, and then he lives like he wants—no guilt, no ties, all the success in the world.”
No better way to describe this successful, good looking Bell brother known as Sean.
There is something brutally honest about Sean. He tells it like it is, he has a strong backbone and never loses at anything he sets out to accomplish.
“Ecstasy. That’s what it’s called when saints experience spiritual euphoria, and I’m no saint, that’s for sure.”
When sweet, innocent, almost virgin, Zenny walks into Sean’s life, it’s like a tornado is happening in his almost perfect life. She has one thing that she has set out to do before taking her vows. Her eye is set on Sean.
Can this barely legal young woman be the one to turn Sean’s life upside down? Or is Sean man enough to say No and mean it?
“Credo ut intelligam. It means; I believe so that I may understand.”
I figured out while reading this, that I too needed to believe, so that I too could understand. Or better yet, now would be a good time for me to remember how to pray! Instead, I pulled out my Sham-WoW panties and enjoyed the story!
This is a very emotional journey of a man accepting what life has dealt him. How he chooses to accept that the road he is traveling might not be the one he sought to begin with. But it is the one that is paved for him.

One thing that I’ve come to expect with Sierra Simone books is that I will always get an amazing story with a lot of hot sexy time. Sinner completely blew me away. I never expected to go back into the Priest world and meeting Sean Bell was absolutely everything I hoped it would be.
Zenny and Sean’s story is one of childhood friends reconnecting and exploring a relationship that can’t lead anywhere….or can it? This story is about exploration and about finding yourself. What is important today, might not be important tomorrow. It’s OK for goals to change and for a person to forgive and move on. It’s OK to find your happiness and it’s what every person should do.
This was an extremely moving and emotional read for me. I never expected this story to completely leave me speechless as I turned the last page. Zenny and Sean’s story left me with a huge book hangover and completely in love with their story. It was everything.
I will say now that Ms. Simone has taken us back to the Priest world, I do hope that we will get the other brothers’ stories. Amazing read!
Grab your rosary ladies!!! Sierra had done it again! Sinner is the second standalone book in the Priest series and if you thought Father Bell was sinful you need to meet his brother Sean!!
Money, power and sex is all Sean is looking for. He’s a sinner, that had given up on God and religion many years ago, when his sisters life was ended in the worst way. God couldn’t save her. Sean couldn’t save her. He’s a lost soul. Until he meets an angel.
This book, as all of Sierra’s books that I’ve read, had me feeling so amazed at her beautiful writing. How she takes things that are taboo or uncomfortable to some, and make them a work of art is something I can’t get enough of. To say I’m a fan is a gross understatement.
Sweet Jesus . . . I finished Sinner days ago and I’m still trying to come up with the words to convey just how much I loved it and Sean Bell.
My emotions are still a mess and holy hell only Sierra can mix god, heartbreak and sex and weave it seamlessly into a brilliant, amazing sexy AF story.
I don’t even know where to start with Sean. He’s no saint. He’s a bit bent and hell bent on making Zenny his—in all ways.
But Zenny has other plans. Other goals and wants. Sure she wants Sean, but he’s not her end goal.
But the two of them together bring out the best in each other—and bring out the best of their dark and dirty parts too. They’re amazing. Smart, sexy, fun and hot as hell. But there’s also a much deeper connection between them. Something neither one predicted or really knows how to handle.
I could continue on with all the accolades that Sinner is due. But, honestly, it’s a book you just need to read to experience all the highs, lows and sexy parts because I’m certain my words fall far short of the brilliance written between the covers.
“Credo ut intelligam: I believe so that I may understand”.
Sierra is a delver, diving deep into the abyss of her subject matter and bringing us unparalleled treasures. Her writing style is so subsuming, the entire story just absorbs you like you BELONG there, in the pages. she makes you forget the world, the moment your eyes travel on the words on the first page, you are transported and then firmly transplanted, IN THE BOOK !
No other words to describe how it feels like to read her books except pilgrimage. A spiritual awakening of your senses, till you see the characters right beside you, feel with them, smell them, touch them, love them. It’s transcendental and holy.
She explores two of the worlds oldest mysteries, Spirituality and sexuality. They have been studied in detail since the dawn of time, and still hold mystery. While spirituality is more or less about religion and beliefs,and revered openly, sexuality still is whispered and shamed and owning it puts you in a box.
But Zenobia Iverson or Zenny is very clear in her vocation she has chosen for herself. And before she crosses the threshold, she wants one month exploring her body. So who does she approach with an offer he can’t refuse- Sean Bell !
They have words for men like me— playboy. Womanizer. Skirt chaser.
I’m a sinner with a dimpled smile and perfect hair, and I know how to make sin feel like heaven.
The month is full of sexual and spiritual revelations which astound both Zenny-bug and Sean “The Make Me Doubt Man”
The sex is beyond hot, it’s soul scorching, will set your body on fire, melting your inhibitions and draining your BoB’s batteries multiple times. Which is to be expected of course from a Sierra simone book. She very unapologetically explores sex as a prayer. It’s verbiage,it’s echoes, it’s sounds, it’s feels, it’s moans, it’s sighs, it’s uplifting crescendo, it’s peaceful stupor, it’s soul enveloping euphoria. It’s Orgasm of the Alphabets !!
I’m still starving for more of Zenny’s curiosity, thirsty for more of Sean’s kisses and want to be voyeur a bit longer to their intense passion and forbidden love.
I can’t sing enough praises for the book, it’s more than a book actually, a sermon, a revelation a communion- one sided apparently, because her pen talks and our eyes listen !
The ONE most important thing that I walked away with, from this book is -self acceptance. Being comfortable in my own desires.
It means recognizing that there’s nothing any less holy about your body than there is about your soul, that as long as your body is treated with consent and respect and affection— and that you treat the bodies of others in the same way— there’s nothing inherently sinful about your flesh. About its desires or lack of desires.
I fell in love with Tyler Bell in Priest, his soul charging love for Red Lipped Poppy.
This brother, Sean, is a step further in his fervour and vehemence in his love for off limits Zenny, because “She’s young, she’s Elijah’s sister, and she wants to be a professional non-sex-haver.”
But his life is already invaded, he has no option but to surrender and negotiate peace. He just didn’t count for falling for the invader!!
“I want to build a tower around you, and then build a castle around that tower, and then dig a moat around that castle, and then I want to guard you like a dragon. Burn anyone who tries to hurt you into ash and then scorch those ashes a second time.”
Ahhhhhhhhh to be at the receiving end of this enveloping, obsessive love
I envied Zenny, as much as I loved her naivetè and innocence, I was so jealous of her . The cutest, perkiest, pert pixie of a girl, who stole Sean right from under our noses
So buy this book on release day , open the pages and just forget the world!
Hail Sean! Hail Zenny! Hail Elijah! Hail Sierra! Hail Tyler, Aiden,Ryan, Dad, Mom
Praise the Lord
Let’s all be SINNERS!!!
Amen

Challenging my thoughts – bringing joy to my soul
This was my first Sierra Simone book after hearing so much about her and her New Camelot triology and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed what could’ve easily been a book solely written for the shock factor and taboo nature of the topic at hand. Sinner is the second book in Sierra’s Priest series but I read it fine as a stand-alone and didn’t feel the previous book and novella in the series were in any way spoiled. Sean Bell is the lead in the story in every way – the book is about him, written entirely from his POV, and it’s his character growth and development that made me fall in love with this book.
What surprised me most about Sinner was the fact it actually challenged my atheist beliefs and helped me to further understand why people (including some close friends of mine) can believe in a God despite all the terrible things that happen in this world. And this is the first romance novel that has ever done that for me so I thank Sierra for being able to integrate a very topical and often controversial issue into what is a beautiful, steamy and sexy book.
And I will admit that this book does deal with taboo issues that will likely make some people feel uncomfortable, there are definitely moments that are there for the shock factor and the sex scenes are incredibly hot, steamy and erotic. But these things became a part of the story itself and didn’t detract from the overall story about a man who lost his faith long ago and is coming to terms with the fact he may need it once again.
I’m so very glad I took a chance on this book and on Sierra Simone. I look forward to reading more of her books in the future.

Where to begin to describe Sinner? I feel there are so many things to say and I won’t do this book justice with my review. I feel like all I’ll be good to say is read this book , read it because this is not only about sex or even about God, this is about respect, about finding your way, to find peace, to be you and not what you think you want to be.
I need to say that I didn’t give 5 stars because as I did with Poppy in Priest,I had trouble with Zenny and how she acts sometimes. The women in the Priest series are not my fav’ characters but the men are out of this word, so charismatic, so beautiful inside and in need of something or someone to rely on so much that I couldn’t put the book down.
Sean Bell is thirty-six bitter man when it comes to God and his belief. Living a life in sin hasn’t been a choice but more so something that came to him. Never questioning his life, things are about to change fast.
I was immediately captivated by the turn this book took because it caught me off-guards and I had no idea what would happen. I was expecting to have a forbidden and highly sexual book but I really had so much more! It was forbidden, it was sexy and hot as hell but it was also very emotional and heart-breaking. Sean was a complex character and Sierra depicts his persona to the point! Told in Sean’s point, I got to experience all his struggles and questions, all his guilt and suffering, all his love and compassion, all the things he has to give and offer but never did.
Now I’m ready for the rest of the Bell bunch, because there will be more right?
