Blurb
I wasn’t given a choice. Not when I did my first line of cocaine. Not when I became a single mother. But I changed, and every decision I’ve made was to protect myself and my son from my weaknesses—and my past.
Until Jude came along and made me question everything, even my own secrets.
The sins I carry with me can never be discovered. Life handed me broken bits of people and left me to construct my own world, and it’s too fragile to take a chance on Jude Mercer.
We write our own stories.
We build our own prisons.
We weave our own lies.
We commit the sins that bind us.
EXCERPT
“Maybe he was already as tightly wound as me, but I can’t help but squirm under his possessive stare. I ignite that ferocity. I’m the storm that unsettles the peaceful blue pools of his irises. And realizing that vanquishes my fear. Because I’ve undone this man.”
“I want to say something but my mouth is empty. Before I can find words his lips find mine instead. He crashes against me, and I’m powerless against his force. He’s washing me out into the unknown and I don’t care if I drown.
My body shapes to his as his hand slides under my ass, lifting me from my feet. I coil around him, instinctively pressing the core of my want against his groin. A low growl vibrates through him and his arms bind me closer.
I want as much of him as he’ll give me. It’s the only need I’m capable of processing and I open to him, allowing his tongue to stroke across my teeth and then massage over mine. It’s an invitation and I RSVP by tangling my fingers into his hair. I grip it tightly, desperate to possess him as fully as he has me.”
When he backs into the kitchen table, we both spring into action, unbuttoning and unbuckling as quickly as our impatient fingers allow. Wiggling off my jeans, I return my attention to his body. I trail my palm over the swirling black ink and then I lunge forward and sink my teeth into his skin.
“Christ, Sunshine,” he grunts, but before I can register it as a complaint, he’s pushed me flat against the table and unsnapped my bra. I move to slide it off and my wrist knocks over a box of crayons.
Our eyes lock as they scatter to the floor and before I can raise the white flag, I’m back in his arms. Jude kicks open the door leading to the garage.
“I’ll fix it later,” he promises, sweeping me out the door. Twirling me around, he barricades it with our bodies. “Hold on.”
“I wrap my arms around his shoulders and cling to him as he frees his dick. I feel its heat prod against my belly. His whiskers scratch against my cheek as his mouth slants toward my neck. “I can’t be patient,” he warns me.
“Don’t be,” I beg.
He doesn’t need coaxing. His hand slips between my thighs and shoves my panties to the side. My bare back smacks against the wood as he thrusts into me. Jude’s chest smashes against my breasts as his weight overwhelms me. I lose myself to the rhythm. To the crash and the ebb. There is only each stroke, and the glorious, violent inevitability of being abandoned and filled.”
Review
Jill’s Review
What can I say about Geneva Lee’s The Sins That Bind Us? I was drawn to the gorgeous cover and intrigued by the blurb. But as soon as I cracked open the book the raw honesty of the words gripped me and held me captive.
Addiction: Addiction is such a damn touchy subject. You bring it up and people get all squirrely. People are afraid to admit to addictions and needing help. Your mind goes down that deep and dark path – drugs, alcohol, ruining lives. Now the truth us, hell yeah that does happen. But addiction also comes in all shapes and sizes. A key line in this book that resonated with me was: Everybody is an addict; we all have our drug. And seriously how true is this statement? We joke on blogs and in book groups about being #1click addicts… but ummm… how many of you have taken a good, long hard look at your ereaders and your TBR list lately. I’ll fess up! I have over ONE THOUSAND books sitting UNREAD on my Kindle!! WTF?! No way anyone can’t say that isn’t an addiction! I have a real need to click on books. It is what makes me feel good, it is a habit, and let’s be honest there is no way I will be able to read those books before I start adding more to that pile. Hence the issue. There are a ton of things that can be addictions… some more detrimental than others.. but if they start to impact your life, then it is an issue. And let’s also be honest, most of us have had addiction touch our lives in one way or another. either we have experienced it ourselves or we have walked the path with a loved one or friends…
Geneva Lee tackles this head on in The Sins That Bind. I don’t want to tell you too much, because I feel so strongly that this is a book you should go into kinda blind and just experience. You should live through the book and be able to feel everything.
What I will say is that the characters are real. And we all know I love my characters real, raw and flawed. And seriously how can you have a book that deals with addiction and NOT have this be the case? I fell in love with the characters and was rooting hard for them. I appreciated their struggles and loved watching them come together and muddle through their lives.
The story was heartbreakingly beautiful. It will make you feel – the mark, in my opinion of an excellent book. It will make you think. It is a story of forgiveness, love, loss, hope, faith, reality, second chances, family and starting over. This is not a pretty story but it is a necessary one. There are twists and turns along the way. It is a story that needs to be told. And it was done in a way that will leave a lasting impression.
I can’t put into words how highly I recommend this book.
I received a complimentary copy of The Sins That Bind Us in exchange for an honest review.
