Blurb: Samuel “Sin” Taylor doesn’t know the difference between sex and intimacy, but maybe that’s not his fault. He grew up in a world where it was easier to get physical pleasure than to find love. But as a prostitute working the streets, Sin thinks he’s finally found his true calling. After all sex is the one thing he’s good at, right? But when Isaac enters his life through mere coincidence, Sin finds it a relief to be someone other than Sin.

How long can he keep up the charade?

Review:

I know I must sound like a broken record when it comes to reviewing Kol’s books, but seriously, time and time again, I can count on them to wring out a plethora of emotions. Whether part of an ongoing story, or stand alone stories, each one contains similar attributes that put Kol’s writing in a class of its own. Often taboo in nature, they leave you feeling almost bad about how much you liked and enjoyed reading them.

Here, we meet Sam, or Sin, as he is called. He has created the two separate personas to separate the different aspects of his life. My heart immediately fell for both of them as they each struggled to understand the other, albeit unsuccessfully as the lines began to blur. As more and more crumbs are told, Sam/Sin’s story becomes clearer to us, while becoming less so to Sam/Sin. Every time Sin sees a tiny chance of carrying on his life as Sam and being able to finally give up his life as Sin, something happens to pull him back.

Sam/Sin goes through so much in this short span of a story. I was cheering him on, wanting to save and hug him and punish him all at the same time. Sometimes a character pulls you in so much that you spend time trying to understand and comprehend what you just read about them, long after you have closed the book. This was one of those instances, and that is one of the reasons why I am such a huge fan of Kol’s work.

He is a master manipulator when it comes to weaving a story. As with every Kol book I have read, nothing is totally as it seems – right.to.the.very.end. Yes, the books are all on the shorter side, but they are packed with intensity. If you have not done so already, I urge you to read the free story, Daddy. What is told in just a few pages there completely sets the tone for Sam/Sin’s life and might give you just a little better of an understanding into his mind.

Overall Impression:  I loved it!
