Holy fucking shit this starts out with a BANG
So much action! The way this series interconnects with other books/series is perfect. I gotta get my hands on the other series stat! Definitely didn’t take away from my reading experience- just made me want to dive into the world more.
The first book in this series, Sinful sacrifice, was my first mafia romance. And it launched me into a mafia era I never want to leave!
And now Sinful Ruin - I absolutely LOVED Genesis and Julian!
Julian is such an alpha hole. And Genesis is a girl obsessed (and has been for years). She breaks through his steely exterior and soon has him wrapped around her finger.
I loved their history together, and the explosive chemistry.

Oooowwweeeee. This was exactly what I needed to while I’m recovering from this nasty virus I got. It had suspense, it had angst, it had ALL THE CHEMISTRY between Julian and Genesis! YASSS 🔥🔥🔥
I love that Julian has low key OBSESSED with Gen since forever, but stayed away… until he couldn’t! And even though he ‘hates everyone’ he allows her to get away with ALMOST anything 😅 This was such a fun read! I think I’m finally out of my slump!

Unapologetically himself, Julian Bellini is one of the hottest morally gray MMCs that Charity has ever written, and my goodness this man unhinged and delicious, but soooo smoking-hot 🥵🔥 I'm totally in love with him!!
From the very start Julian exudes confidence and says what he wants. Probably the only thing he's unaware of is his feelings, but I'll let that slide, since he's a stubborn man who gets his own way. Or mostly does except where Genesis is involved. She has him wrapped around her fingers from the get-go. Genesis isn't a wallflower by any means. She’s snarky and constantly stands up to Julian. She's one of the few who can. Everyone else isn't alive to admit it. 😂 Julian loves to pew-pew people and yet, Genesis still has goo-goo eyes for him. Like, I said, I do too because this man...is seriously hot, even with all his pew-pewing. 😂
What is the big dilemma in the story - Julian basically purchases Genesis for a million dollars with the intention of making her his baby mama. There is more to it, but her dad had some shady deals that involved Russians and his daughter, Genesis. At the last minute Julian stepped in and bought that contract so it kept her out of the hands of the Russians, which met Julian's needs, but it also gave him a chance at a future. A chance to add more Bellini's to his family line, but for Genesis, she was hoping for a life of love, regardless of what mistakes her father made.
This book is pretty intense, especially with Julian constantly pew-pewing everyone 😂, but to even out his intensity, his internal thoughts are rather comical. I'm also going to say that his intensity totally makes this book worth reading. Hands down. These two also have fantastic bantering, since Genesis doesn't sit back and quietly take orders, much to Julian's dismay. Although to be fair, he deep down, likes her fighting spirit and wouldn't want to change a thing about her.
Sinful Ruin is another one of my favorite Charity Farrell books and I can't wait for more from this world!!
