MY BEAUTIFUL SIN
J. Kenner
Release Date: January 26
I missed book one - I know it does seem to be a habit with me - Even though I missed them and their earlier combative moments (which I can garner from My Beautiful Sin must have been epic)and their unveiling of the truth I was easily able to catch up and get lost in the story.
The emotional connection between Ellie and Devlin felt almost tangible. They compliment each other, a balance of the wills if you will. The story itself has all kinds of twists and WTH moments. Definitely kept me engaged.
Ellie is a bit of a piranha - once that girl gets her teeth into something she is not letting go until she has it down to the bare bones. Sometimes it seemed her laser focus caused her to miss important clues. With Devlin's past, you can only guess that he is not on board with her "investigation" but in no way is he going to risk losing her again. Which leads to a lot of smoke and mirrors from him.
Devlin's character is one of those that fits almost perfectly in the BBF box. He has that mysterious dark past. He is demanding and rules his world with an iron fist. At the same time, he is all marshmallowy when it comes to the woman who holds his heart.
I was going back and forth on who was the antagonist - I am usually pretty good at putting the clues together - turns out I was off a touch - I do love it when a good twist is unveiled. I am eager to see how they handle this "problem" and I am wanting to go back and catch up on how it all started
