A Necessary Sin by Georgia Cates Release Day Blitz





Bleu MacAllister is consumed. A horrific childhood incident has caused every decision in her life to revolve around bringing a monster to justice. With years spent studying The Fellowship, an organized crime brotherhood of liars, thieves, and killers, Bleu will rely on her skills as a special agent to cut Thane Breckenridge off at the knees. But walking hand in hand with retribution means risking collateral damage, in the form of Breckenridge’s son Sinclair—until Sin becomes so much more than Bleu bargained for. She’s always known this undertaking would place her life in danger—she never imagined her heart would be as well.












EXCERPT:


Sinclair Breckenridge’s POV:


“I’m in the business of boundaries and limits. I’m aware of what mine are and how far I’m willing to go to get my job accomplished. It can include lying and sometimes stealing.” I wait a moment for driving the last nail into the coffin. “And perhaps the occasional killing.”
“How do you feel when you do those things?”
“Powerful.” I purposely choose that word because it’s the one she used to describe how she felt when she brought Duff to his knees. I want her to see just how similar we are.
She watches out the window for a minute before speaking again. “Do you like the way it feels?”
I can’t lie. I get a high from it. “Very much.”
Another minute passes. “Okay.”
What? “Just … okay?”
“Would you like me to be horrified?” she asks. “I can do that if it would make you feel better or improve your opinion of me.”
She’s no fucking Pollyanna. So I guess there’s no reason for her to pretend to be. “No. Okay works for me.”
I’m not sure if I should be disturbed by her lack of appall. It feels like a double standard to be shocked by an absence of dismay.
My God, has the pot met the kettle? “I wish I could get inside your head.”
“No, you don’t,” she says. “My mind is a dark place to be.”
I think I may have met the perfect woman. In her eyes, I’m not a monster at all.

Kim's Review
5 stars

Blue MacAllister’s life is filled with tragedy.  Her mother was murder and she was left for dead.  For years she has been consumed by bringing her mother’s killer to justice.  She and her adoptive father had a plan but time was running out for her father so they had to put their plan into action.  After years of training Blue is finally going to meet her mother’s killer face to face but will she be able to carry out her revenge or will she suffer the same fate her mother did?

I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.

Blue is a headstrong very determined woman who only focused in her life on getting revenge for her mother’s murder.  She told her father about her plan when she was a young teenager and everything she has done in her life has been for the purpose to carry out the plan.  Her father may not be happy about what his daughter is about to do but he won’t let her go in blindly either.  They spend their time together working in their plan but when her father is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Blue starts the plan to infiltrate The Fellowship and get close to Thane Breckenridge.

Sinclair Breckenridge is the oldest son of Thane and next in line to run The Fellowship.  He keeps everyone at a distance and let no woman see or have his heart.  He knows what is expected of him and that he is seen as a killer but that is the life he chooses and he isn’t ashamed of who he is.  He o best mates Jamie and Leith have always been there for him and they know all his secrets. 


I loved Georgia’s Beauty series so when she had this one coming out I couldn’t pass it up and I wasn’t disappointed.  The chemistry between Blue and Sin hit me hard and I couldn’t get enough of them.  The fiery, no holds bar attitude that Blue has not only is refreshing.  She is a woman who can take care of herself and will do anything to get what she wants but she also has a heart too and wonders if she can excuse her plan.  Sin is used to getting what he wants but when Blue makes him work for it, he sees what he has been missing and wants more.  These two were made for each other but others disagree.  The twist and turns in the plot kept me guessing what was going to come next and who was to actual person that killed Blue’s mom.  Sin’s Uncle Abrams kept me wondering what he was really up to and why he did what he did.  Of course this is a trilogy so were left wanting to know what happens next.   I can hardly wait for the Next Sin to come out February 9th.  If you’re looking for a series with suspense, drama and lots of romance then look no further!!

Gabby will do anything to save Pax, but what happens when she’s the one who needs saving?














The Gloves Off Series



A FIGHTER'S DESIRE - PART ONE 


Two is always better than one. What would you do if you were given the chance to spend the night with not one, but two fighters? Would you do it? Could you open yourself up to the pleasures they offered and do exactly what they said in order to pass on to the next round? It was common knowledge that Ryley and Camden Jameson, well-known MMA fighters and identical twins, were just as aggressive and passionate in the bed as they were in the ring. The only problem was that if you didn’t pass their test on the first night, then you didn’t proceed to the next round. They loved a good fight, and that's what they got when they met Ashleigh Warren. Ashleigh knew what was going to happen when the twins approached her with a proposition, and needless to say, she knew exactly how to handle them … or so she thought. The rules had changed, and in order to get them both she had to first spend one night with each and last until they were done with her. It was a proposition she couldn’t refuse, but she knew it wouldn’t be easy to win. However, it was one that she was going to enjoy. 


A FIGHTER'S DESIRE - PART TWO 



When you’re told to stay away from someone or something it only drives the urge to go after it more. In this case, that was exactly what happened. For years, Gabriella Reynolds—younger sister of MMA’s Heavyweight Champion, Matt Reynolds—was warned by him to stay away from his fighter friends; she deserved better and they would only break her heart. Did she listen? Yes, for a while, but temptation can only consume you so much until you fall into its trap. There’s a certain fighter she’s interested in, and it just so happens that he’s her brother’s best friend, the only one that is completely off limits to her. However, she’s not the only one fighting temptation. Tyler Rushing can’t deny his attraction to her, but he’s afraid she’ll want more and he can’t give that to her. When he finds out that’s not the case … everything changes. Secrets can be dangerous, but they can also be thrilling and intense. Gabriella and Tyler have no choice but to keep their time together a secret … and it’s a secret that’ll stay with them forever.

TYLER’S UNDOING



She was what he wanted … but she was also his undoing. Through mutual understanding, Tyler’s secret affair with Gabriella Reynolds has come to an end. It’s a decision that not only saves their friendship, but it’s one that will change his life forever. For the past couple of years, Tyler Rushing has been known as one of the UFC’s most memorable and sexy heavyweight fighters. Now he has the chance to win the title and claim the fame he so deserves. He has everything he could ever want until Kacey Andrews walks through the door of his gym, wanting nothing to do with him. Keeping his eyes off of her is a challenge; there’s an innocence about her that draws him to her, and he’s not going to stop until he makes her his. Little does he know that Kacey Andrews isn’t a stranger. She’s a part of his world; he just doesn’t know it. It’s a secret she’s worked hard to keep hidden. Kacey spent years trying to get away from the fighting world, away from the man who’s hated among the MMA elite … her brother, Kyle Andrews. Unfortunately, she’s brought back into it when Tyler’s relentless battle for her heart wins her over, drawing her in. The only problem is that secrets never stay buried forever. In the end, Tyler has a decision to make, and it’s one that can possibly destroy his and Kacey’s life … forever.



RYLEY'S REVENGE

Goodreads


UFC Middleweight fighter, Ryley Jameson, swore it would never happen again. He was done with his ex, and over the pain she’d inflicted when she left him. At least, that’s what he tells people. Maybe if he says it enough, he’ll begin to believe it himself.

Regretting her decision to let Ryley go, Ashleigh Warren comes back into town and confronts him. Holding only one secret back, she puts the rest on the line and asks for a second chance. Too bad he’s not going to let her off easy.

Camden Jameson loves his twin brother, but his jealousy runs deep. They may be identical in looks, but that’s where the similarities end. When Ashleigh comes back into Ryley’s life, Camden has the perfect opportunity for revenge. Two birds, one stone.

A journey to the Dark Side affects them all, but only one feels the true sting of revenge.
