Those Sinclairs can be so Clever!
This is #05 in the The Sinclair’s Series.
HEA with No cliffhangers!
These are about the members of the Sinclair family. The characters are all involved in each others lives and stories so I would HIGHLY suggest you read them in order.
Content Advisory:
There is sex, dirty talk, and lust fueled cursing.
The Sinclair cousin’s audiobooks are going in order from oldest to youngest, as the middle child is up next. Julian has been seeding his tale for a while now. Time-line wise, this starts during the Epilogue of the last book. Just know that even in real life, what happens in Vegas never stays in Vegas.
Julian Sinclair is the actor in the family. Despite having money and the ability to make connections that way, he refused to use any of it. He struggled and scrapped while hiding his identity so he could “make it” on his own merit. Why struggle when you don’t have to? It’s more about who you know than talent in Hollywood anyway. Don’t be obnoxious about it, but you shouldn’t hide it either. Julian has a lot of guilt over neglecting his family while he was hyper-focusing on his career. He would of been able to of seen his parents more than he did if he had used at least a little of his money to buy plane tickets occasionally. We all take it for granted that we have time for later, but you never really know. Today might be all you get!
Kristin Moore has been working at Shamrock’s Bar and Grill in some capacity almost all her life. Her mom was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis while she was in grade school and she has been picking up the slack ever since. This touches me quite deeply as I too have MS. Kristin is going in the opposite direction as Julian. She doesn’t want to miss any time with her family, but it is at the cost of her personal life. She is conflicted in her feelings for Julian. Its a bit love, hate smothered in insecurities.
Everything between these two, up till now, has been four-play! There are lots of twists and turns for this pair, but it’s so delicious to watch it play out! As with previous titles, there is lots of set-up going on for Xander’s story. There has been a mystery surrounding their parents death, and I’m very anxious about the details. It’s been held for his book, which is next. This Series is so addictive!
J.S. Scott keeps knocking it out of the park!
Elizabeth Powers has narrated all the titles in this series so far. At this point, she IS The Sinclairs!
Normal speed was fine, however I listened at 0.90x. It worked better for me.
Scarlet Cinderella and Prince Hotshot have their happily ever after. This series touches all types of life problems and differences. As soon as I finish one I’m ready for the next book.
Julian Sinclair is a megastar, Oscar winner, billionaire and sinfully sexy. Why would he want a small town, red headed, chubby medical assistant like Kristin Moore. That’s what she keeps asking herself while keeping him at arm’s length. Having sacrificed her whole life to make sure her family is safe and cared for, Kristin has never taken time for herself. Julian sets out to make that happen by kidnapping her and taking her to a friend’s wedding in Vegas. There ended up being two weddings that weekend. One of them hers and Julian’s. Only she doesn’t remember. Julian finally reveals all and asks for three months to try to convince her his feelings and the marriage are real. Can he do it? Will she stay?
I like this series. All the characters are likeable, unique, personable and charming. J.S. Scott crafts a great story that is enjoyable and entertaining reading. I’ve read the entire series and look forward to the next book, Xander’s story.
Easy,quick reading
Kristin and Julian prove that sometimes there are some things just too amazing to stay in Vegas. Kristin is the definition of all work and no play. With her family and work obligations at the end of the day she can barely make it to her bed nevermind plan anything more adventurous. The only bright spot in her monotonous life is her ongoing feud with Julian Sinclair. That man really gets her temper up and her motor running. When he shows up to kidnap her for Tessa and Micah’s wedding in Vegas he will not take any excuses! Julian knew from the moment he laid eyes on Kristin that she was different than every other woman whom came before. Her fire and passion coupled with her beauty and innocence enraptured him. He is not letting her deny this any longer and what better place to give in than the city of sin. Turns out being in Vegas with access to booze and a quickie chapel will make for a fast courtship. Now Julian will just need to convince his bride that this wasn’t a drunken mistake but the perfect step towards forever.
Good
3.5 stars. I loved the characters, strong stubborn h and sweet sexy H.
The story can be read alone but reading the other books would help to know the supporting characters and also to know the background of the two main characters better.
It was a cute, simple, somewhat predictable and sexy read.
Julian and Kristin are perfect together. He literally has to whisk her away from the bar to his private jet to get her to go to Vegas with him for his brother’s wedding. Mix in motion sickness and a freak out before they even get on their way and he knows he is a goner. Vegas has a way of getting out of hand when they have too much to drink and once home and weeks later when Julian shows up with the news they married in Vegas and an annulment is not an option and she is stuck with him. He is all in and now just has to convince her. When a Sinclair falls, he falls hard. Another keeper!
Enjoyed this book very much. It was the first one in the series that I read so I read it again after reading the entire series from the beginning. It’s probably my favorite though that’s a difficult call.
It took me a bit to like Julian Sinclair. His assumptions and dictatorship towards Kristin didn’t endear him to me in the beginning. And, Kristin’s constant disbelief in herself and Julian got annoying. However, overall I liked the story and all of the characters of Amesport.
A nice love story. A little boring at times. I even skipped over a number of paragraphs. But all in all it wasn’t a bad read.
fun read
This just like any J.S. Scott book is absolutely amazing. I had a hard time putting this book down. It’s definitely worth the read.
