Sin by Kelly St. Clare

4.0

How can you not love Sin? I was a fan during the fights, specifically I fell in love at his reaction to being KO'd by Olina. Having a novella dedicated to him was PERFECT to really bring his personality into focus though.

I think I REALLY loved him though from this moment in Oscalis, where he thought Olina had a man in her bed AND demanded (as her valet) she change into purple robes.

He thought over what he’d just seen.
Olina . . . the twinkle in her eyes, the cheerful grin.
Stomach dropping, he looked at the bed behind him, taking in the sight of the disheveled sheets. His breath whooshed from his lungs as he nearly doubled over in. . .shock? Anger? Heart-wrenching disappointment? Sin’s mind whirled so quickly, he didn’t know what he felt.
“Your king arrived last night,” she called.
A sharp inhale caught in his throat, and he coughed a few times. She rounded the screen dressed in the pale purple robes. Much better.

Then, she informed him about her choice. His mind exploded and I loved him AGAIN.

"Hell, there were tears balancing on her lower lids. And yet, something bloomed in his chest. The weight in his stomach when he saw the rumpled sheets had disappeared.
He needed to be sure.
“You’re giving all of this up.” He gestured around. “Your title, your people, your power . . . to be with one man.”

But he never lost his vulgar charisma, charm, or dirty mind.

“Dear Blizzard, I do not discriminate against the Inner and Middle rings. I’ll enter any ring—as I like to say.”
Ice spat out a laugh. “That’s a good one.”
“Thank you.”

I could go on and on.... and ON about Sin, but I'd just bascially be re-writting the book in my review so I'll stop here and admit I'd die for Sin.

The end :-)
