Avail Yourself Sin Conceived By Jess Michaels Released As Hardbound

super steamy novellas wrapped up in one lovely package, I admit I am normally not a fan of the novella, but I loved that fact that all three stories were interlinked through the characters.
All three stories are very hot, It was easy for me to become wrapped up in the emotions of these characters and wish for them the happiness they deserved.
I highly recommend this wonderful erotic read!

My Rating:,ofstars

Sin for me reads more like a novel rather than a collection of novellas so I'll review it as a whole.


It starts off with Bianca and Hawk, the connection between them being her late husband, also Hawk's best friend, Her husband Oscar was a real ass, introducing his virgin wife to all sorts of depraved sexual acts while keeping his best friend away from her because he sensed a true attraction between the two of them.
Despite him, they still became good friends and platonic partners in crime,

The sexual relationship develops about a year after his death when Bianca proposes her outrageous bet in order to win back money she lost to Hawk while gambling.
Hawk proves himself a worthy adversary, mostly because he has wanted her since they first met, Bianca, on the other hand, I wanted to strangle because her freedom was more important to her than Hawk, Needless to say, they overcome their differences and end up marrying each other,

I like Bianca's character better in the second part, The Sweetest Sin, It seemed that she and Hawk were a lot more alive there, although it focused on Hawk's older brother Landon and his secret wife, Julianna.
This story I liked a lot more than the first because the hurt between them was a lot more believable, I love the way Jess Michaels handled the two main characters in this story!

Landon is typical male in his view of Juliana's "betrayal" while poor Juliana acts as expected of an abused child and woman.
Thankfully Landon sees his errors before his wife is completely broken,

In my opinion, the steamiest part was saved for last, Sin is the ultimate bad guy, planning the destruction of the man who played a big part in the death of his father by intending to hurt him in the way he thought would be most painful by forcing him to sign over his youngest daughter and Juliana's sister for ten days of seduction.
The plan backfires though. The girls' father couldn't care less and Evelyn herself was very happy to find out that Sin was the man who wanted to ruin her!

Apparently Evelyn had been writing erotica for a very long time, all with Sin in the starring role.
She intends to make these ten days the most memorable of her life, which is really disconcerting for Sin! This acceptance of her predicament and the resolution to make the best of what she has makes her the strongest character of all.
I think this is what makes Sin see there is more to her than he first thought and change his mind on his plan for revenge.


This is a novel that I have read and reread multiple times and totally enjoyed! I love it when a family comes together.

star: I hated it and I regretted reading it
Jess Michael's is a master at writing steamy erotic historical romance.
So when I saw this "Sin" bundle of erotic novellas I couldn't resist even though I do not normally buy novellas, The characters in each story were linked to each other through family bonds, so they built on one another, I was very happy that I took the leap of faith in JM, Each novella was incredibly steamy hot and the stories were emotional and heartfelt, The characters definitely got under my skin and I cared very much for them all to find their happy endings, I would most definitely recommend this trilogy! that was really good, Alternate/new cover edition for ASIN BOHDU
