Murder

Sinful Secrets Series, Book 2

By: Ella James

Narrated by: Nelson Hobbs, Shirl Rae

It should have been simple. Easy come, easy go, and in between, atonement.

She was not who I would have chosen. Gwen was delicate and lovely: a former model with a ruined life, living loudly in the quiet of the Smoky Mountains, healing injured bears. When she laid her hands on me, she healed me too. That's how it began. That's where it went wrong.

I knew she could never be mine. But I sinned. I sinned.

Critic reviews

"Once again Ella James wrote an emotional book wrapped in suspense and intrigue." (Smut Book Junkie)

Not the emotional turmoil the last book was!

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻V from Kansas🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

This story definitely kept me guessing, almost to the end. This author always seems to keep you guessing about the true character of one of the main characters; the Hero this time. At the beginning of the book, you’re led to believe that the Hero is actually the antagonist. She also uses flashbacks, regularly, throughout the book. You have to pay attention or you will get really confused. There is the current timeline and three other timelines, in the past. There is also a few cameo appearances from Kellen and Cleo, from The last book. Barret, the Hero in this book, is the older brother of Kellen, from “Sloth”.

In this story, both the Hero and the Heroine are struggling from PTSD. His is due to military issues and her is as a result of an accident. A lot of this book focuses on their symptoms from their PTSD. In addition, there is an compelling parallel between the H and h’s life path.

This book is kind of a psychological thriller, mystery and romance all in one. And honestly, I was glad that I didn’t cry through the majority of the book, like I did with Kellen’s story.(the last book)

In my opinion, these books would definitely be credit worthy, however, these gems are a gift, for they are included in the Escape Package.

Loved the story but 50% of this was sex.

I really enjoyed the story but when 50% of it is sex filler I get exhausted and impatient for the story.

My perfect ratio would be 85/15 and not every chapter needs full blown sex scenes. It's okay to fade to black.

This is an incredible read

First... IF you or someone you love suffer from combat PTSD, this book although incredible it might be too intense & difficult to read. So beware.

Loved the fact that this book had ties to SLOTH.. very interesting story... lots of twists and turns and unexpected surprises. The character development was very good... I am hoping for character connections in Covet..
