One word to describe Sinner's Creed; TRAGIC.

This book... This book has ruined me, healed me then ruined me again ten times over.

It follows the life of Dirk, a hardcore nomad for Sinner's Creed MC who knows nothing but death, hurt and viciousness in the world. He has several 'sees' with Saylor, a very innocent, pure women who see nothing but rainbows and glitter in the world (or so we think).

"This is not just a token of my love, but my vow to always be your man. I’ll protect you, take care of you, and devote my life to making you happy. Saylor Samson, will you do me the honor of being my ol’ lady and wearing my patch?”
— Kim Jones (Sinner's Creed (Sinner's Creed MC, #1))

Once Dirk and Saylor finally get a full encounter, both lives change the road that they were traveling on forever. I won't go into too many details even though you will never guess how this book ends but I will say this;

I have read close to five hundred books in my life. And I can count on one hand how many books have actually shredded my heart and made me cry. Sinner's Creed is one of those books. I just got done re-reading the ending (The last ten pages) after finishing the book a month ago, and yes, I cried again.

This is one of the most heart wrenching, gut crushing, soul-opening, tear-jerking books that I have ever read and my heart hasn't been the same since. I think about it all the time. I compare Sinner's Creed to every book I read and it makes me want that one person in the world who can make you see skittles in a colorless world.

Sinner's Creed has forever changed my life and I will both hate and love Kim Jones for as long as I live.

If you're looking for a book to change your life like I promise it will, then Sinner's Creed is the one for you. STRONGLY RECOMMEND.

Sinner's Creed is not only my first book by Kim Jones, but it is also the first book in the Sinner's Creed series. I was instantly drawn to this book with the cover and blurb, and I couldn't wait to read it! When I started seeing some early reviews though, I have to admit I went in search of some spoilers before starting. A lot of the complaints I was seeing in reviews weren't mentioned at all in the blurb, so I really wanted to have some idea what I was getting into here. I will tell you right now, this book will not be for everyone. This book is not a traditional romance story, and there is not a traditional HEA. It is a really great story, but if you are looking for a traditional romance with an HEA, this is not the book for you. I think that readers should know that before starting.

Looking to please his grandfather (the only family he has known), Dirk has lived for Sinner's Creed Motorcycle Club since he was old enough to be a part of it. As a nomad, he travels on club business, never staying in one place for long. But the one constant in his life is the woman who has been in his thoughts for years. Saylor Samson and Dirk had never really met, yet fate was always bringing them together at times when Saylor needed him the most. But with their latest encounter, Saylor is ready to go with him and Dirk is finally ready to take her. Though Saylor's life has been nothing like Dirk's, they find their connection is unlike anything they could have imagined. Dirk knows that he wants Saylor, but if forced to make the choice will he choose his club or his girl?

I really liked these two. I loved that they had such a strong connection that started before they ever really spoke or knew one another. Fate kept bringing them together, and they both knew that there was something strong between them. Dirk had always put his club first, but Saylor was the one person that challenged that. He was protective of her and it was nice to see him really care about her and treat her differently. Saylor was great as well. She was so good for Dirk, and I loved that she accepted him exactly as he was. Seeing them together and watching them get to know one another was really enjoyable. I loved them traveling together and the chemistry between them. They had some really cute moments (like the moments with the Skittles) and then they had some steamy ones as well. But I couldn't get enough of the emotional connection between them.

Overall, this was a great story and I don't want to say much for those that don't want to be spoiled here. I did mention that this wasn't a traditional romance, and honestly I really wish that this book would have been marketed a bit differently. To me, this would have been better as fiction rather than romance because I think a lot of people that don't know what they are getting themselves into will be upset. Readers like romance to be a certain way, and this book is anything but that. I will say though that this book was definitely worth the read, and the writing was fantastic. Kim Jones had me captivated from the very first page, and I couldn't put this story down. Even knowing that I was running straight into a situation that could only break my heart, I had to keep going though I knew that I would be torn apart. This book was such a journey for not only the characters, but also for the reader and I am so glad that I read it. I already know this won't be the last I read from Kim Jones, and I can't wait to read Shady's story in this series next. I think that if you can go into this story with an open mind, that this is definitely a book worth taking a chance on.

Wow. There isn't a blurb worthy of telling you what you'll find in this book and there isn't a review worthy of it either. Amazing. Heart wrenching and sweet. Just so well developed and so well written. I loved every single word, every smile and every tear I had reading this book. READ IT!

 This is a perfect book. Combining the angst, violance, drama and plot twist from a MC background. Blend it with a perfect romance, i am crying,laughing, heartbroken and whole again. 

Dirk is a assasin for sinner creed MC. The first time he lays his eyes on saylor, he is hooked. Saylor is a beautiful, innocence, free spirited girl. Whenever she needs help the most, dirk shows up. 

To me this book is a modern romeo and juliet. It is a really beautiful.

This was one heck of an emotional read. These characters pulled on my heart strings so much. What a beautiful love story. 
Also as a note, this does not have a HEA. Really tragic and emotional ending.

I am very torn. I believe a romance novel requires an HEA. This book doesn’t have one. Oh I know some will argue that it’s a kind of happy ending but I don’t see it that way. I’m not sure how to classify it.
The writing is really good. I loved just having the hero’s POV. It’s not done a lot. The love story is well done but that ending though.
I met the author at book bonanza and she warned me that her books weren’t for everyone.

Really liked both characters. Fell in love with Dirk when he was supporting Sailor through her treatment then cried at the end.

The way Dirk loved Sailor and helped her with everything, puke and shit included as she was going through chemo but none of it changed how he felt about her

Loved that they are together after death. It would have been wrong to make Dirk continue with a life he would not have wanted to live without her.

This book really put me through the emotional wringer, great book!

5 Sinner’s Creed Stars

Wow, this is unlike any MC book I have ever read or will ever read.
It started off slow but boy does it suck you in. My heart is a mess right now. I have so many feelings about Dirk and Saylor and I can’t put them into words.

These characters are all so different but exactly who you expect and want them to be. I don’t know if that makes any sense but in my head it does.

Saylor is the light and Dirk is the dark and everyone else is the shadows and this book shows you that the Dark can become light for the right person. I just am in awe of how this book got under my skin the way it did.

It is not your regular romance by any stretch of the imagination but it still leaves your heart so very full and maybe a little sad too.

Joe Arden, this man narrates the heck out of this book, he may not put the emotion in his voice often but when he does look out because you will be putty in his hands.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*
