What happens when the one you want is the only one you can't have?

My name is Sevin.

Homeschooled and sheltered by my ultra-religious family, I was always taught that lust was a sin.

Elle was the girl who'd been carefully chosen for me.

After a long-distance courtship, I'd be moving into her family's guesthouse so that we could get to know each other in the months before the wedding.

Boundaries were set: no inappropriate touching, no kissing, no sex before marriage.

I'd accepted those rules and my fate.

Until I met the one I wanted to sin with.

That was when restraint became a problem...especially since THE ONE wasn't Elle.

It was her sister, Evangeline.

You know what they say about best laid plans.

My name is Sevin, and I have sinned.

Told in alternating points of view, Sins of Sevin is a full-length standalone novel.

Contains graphic sexual content and harsh language.

Only appropriate for adult readers

age 18+.

5 EMOTIONALLY SINFUL STARS

**I received an ARC for an honest review.**

This book is by far my most favorite of Penelope Wards, ever. I think I have said that about each and every book that I have read, but this one takes the cake. It is filled with so much more than I thought it would be and it definitely surpassed all of my expectations going into it.

This book contains so much emotion right from the start. It is just packed with so much that I don't even want to mention because I do not want to give any spoilers. But I will say that I am in love with Sevin Montgomery. I will say that he is so much more than the man we meet at the beginning got this book. I will say that it has been awhile since I have connected so fully with a male character and he takes the cake.

As I write this review, I am still reeling a bit from the ending of this book. I can still feel the lump that was lodged there pretty much the entire second half. I am still going through everything that happened and still processing it and keep loving this book more and more.

This book is definitely one of my most favorite reads of 2015 and I can pretty much feel the book hangover coming on.

If you are a Penelope Ward fan then this is a MUST READ. If you have never read a Penelope Ward book before, then this is a MUST READ. If you have never read a book before, but love an emotional and satisfying story then this a MUST READ. So, in my honest opinion Sins of Sevin is a MUST READ.

Excerpt

SINS OF SEVIN

He quietly followed me into the dining room, carrying the flatware. The tension in the air was thick as he walked behind me around the oval table, setting down silverware after each plate I’d put down. It was like some weird game of musical chairs where awkward silence replaced the music. The hairs on my back stiffened. We weren’t saying anything, but it was as if I could feel the weight of a thousand words along with the heat of his body so close behind me.

When I noticed he’d just put a fork where the spoon was supposed to go, I switched it. “The forks go on this side, actually.” My hand was shaking. I couldn’t believe how little control I had over myself.

Noticing my nerves, he suddenly placed his hand over mine and whispered, “Stop.”

Chills ran through me. My heart started to beat faster. My nipples hardened. I hated my body for responding to him with equal amounts of fear and lust.

I turned to him, his hand still over my knuckles. It felt like I couldn’t breathe as he just looked at me.

My mother’s footsteps caused Sevin to move his hand off mine with lightning speed.

Mama entered, and we continued setting the table as if our stolen moment hadn’t happened.
