Sinful Lessons

A Dark Forbidden Mafia Academy Romance (The Syndicate Academy)

By: Bianca Cole

Narrated by: Marie Hawkins, Troy Duran

I chased after a monster, and now I’m not sure I’ll survive his wrath. Gavril Nitkin is renowned for his dark and depraved ways.

After years of crushing on the hot, sadistic, and intimidating professor, I finally try to reel him in.

Big mistake.

The man isn’t human, he’s a beast.

And now I’ve got his attention, he won’t leave me alone.

He’s mean, tortured, wicked, and possibly insane.

There’s a change in the way he looks at me.

He looks at me with a simmering inferno burning in those unique hazel eyes.

Misbehaving is the best way to get close to Professor Nitkin.

My countless appearances at his door open my eyes to some rather twisted facts about myself.

I know I should quit him before I end up broken beyond repair.

The problem is, once I’m hooked on him, I can’t quit.

I fear he’s already too deep under my skin.

As graduation approaches, the more important question isn’t whether I’ll survive his wrath, but whether I’ll survive the heartache of having to walk away.

As a monster can't have a heart to give, but I can’t help but hope that this monster isn’t beyond repair.

Sinful Lessons is the third book in the Syndicate Academy Series. This book can be listened to as a standalone and has a happily ever after ending. This is a dark forbidden student/teacher romance story and has dark themes, hot scenes, violence, content some listeners may find upsetting, and bad language.

I absolutely LOVED it.

I have always enjoyed theses kind of books. I like the idea of a Syndicate Academy. The best part of this book was Troy Duran. He was the perfect Gav. Marie Hawkins also did well as the female narrator! All in all you can’t go wrong with this audio book. Five Stars across the board on this one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

loved the mmc voice Troy!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

love every book in this series...so glad these are DUETS...great book... can't wait for the next onr

Not my favorite book of the series

The story began and ended well. There was a lot of repetition about how horrible he was, it got a bit boring hearing it over and over again, actions sometimes speak louder than words. I think more description at times would have made many scenes better. Feels as though there’s a lot of loose ends still to be tied up. Overall not the worst book I’ve listened to …

Spoiler alert:

I’m not a fan of cutting & blood play & almost stopped listening when that started.
