Series: Book 2, The Sin Trilogy
Author: Georgia Cates
Release Date: February 9, 2015
An epic tale of revenge and love in a new romantic trilogy from the New York Times best-selling author of The Beauty Series.
Bleu MacAllister is in hiding less than three months when Sinclair Breckenridge discovers her whereabouts. Her former lover, the future leader of a criminal organization known as The Fellowship, resists the tug of his heart heartstrings in her direction. Instead, he opts to watch over his beloved from afar. And she has no idea. But Sin's sacrifice is short-lived. His bonny lass is a hunted traitor. He fears Abram's assassins are closing in, leaving him with one solution for saving Bleu--make her his wife. Marriage seems an easy fix for their dilemma but wedded bliss is brief when the couple finds trouble lying in wait beyond the realm of the brotherhood. Will the original revenge seeker find herself the object of collateral damage?

ARC received for an honest review
"Did you really think you could blow into my life like a breeze and roll out like a stone?"
The second book in the Sin Trilogy and what can I say? It was SO GOOD!
The way A Necessary Sin, the first book in the trilogy, ended broke my heart and left me grasping for more and guessing what happens next. Multiply that feeling by at least 3 times and that's how I feel now with The Next Sin!
What happens to Bleu’s quest for revenge?
What happens to Sin and Bleu’s relationship now?
Who really killed Bleu’s mom?
And like what I predicted in my review on A Necessary Sin, The Next Sin was even more thrilling! Some questions were answered and even more questions came out. I like that this installment began a couple of months after the ending in first book. It made me feel like life still went on for the both of them even though they’re still hung up on each other. It gave me more emotional connection and I appreciate that the author didn’t focus too much on their time apart but we were given an idea on how they spent it trying to forget each other. At least, Bleu was.
The Sin Breckenridge from the first book to this book was more sweet, what’s a better adjective to use? He’s still as loving and protective as ever and how he cares for Bleu and at the same time considering his position in The Brotherhood was admirable. He tries to separate at least his feelings from his personal life to his “work” and I respect him more for always voicing out how his family, with Bleu, is his top priority. It made me all swoony for him.
Bleu is also becoming a favorite heroine of mine from her strong personality and her caring nature for the people she loves, which is not that many but are important to her. She also has that protective streak when it comes to her loved ones, her ailing father (which I’m not ashamed to say that I cried over), her sweet, spunky sister, she wants them happy and safe and she doesn’t think twice to do what needs to be done even if it mean being away from her sister, her only family left. I love her and her personality, it’s not overbearing, just the right amount of feminine sensitivity and strong-will that makes me admire her.
"Any man can see the good inside you. But what you need is one who sees the bad and loves you anyway. That's me."
The Next Sin showed us those sides of Bleu and Sin and just as I think everything is looking up slowly, it crashes down with a couple of shockers! Bleu and Sin are starting to build their own family, their relationship, trying to find their rhythm when it comes to their personal life and the life being in The Brotherhood. The danger, the questions, the friendships. This book is more action-packed and emotional than the first one. The first book did a good job laying out the storyline and the characters, in The Next Sin, the action begins.
Georgia Cates, you did one heck of a job with the last couple of chapters! I was on the edge of my seat, my heart’s beating out of my chest and my thoughts going crazy with guessing and hoping everything’s going to be okay eventually. I’m so glad the wait isn’t too long for the third book!!!

Extra Comment: *waiting waiting waiting*
I’m in the background of Bleu’s life, as I have been for weeks. I have eyes on her at all times, even when they’re not my own. I safeguard her from harm. It’s all I’ve done since tracking my lass down in a small town in Mississippi, right outside of Memphis. I act as her protector from afar and she has no idea. She believes she’s hidden from The Fellowship—and me—but she couldn’t be more wrong. I’m always here, keeping a watchful eye on her and the MacAllister family.
I often need to be reminded that this is Bleu’s world. Every person she has contact with isn’t a threat but there’s an enormous problem with that. I have no idea who’s friend or foe.
I was concerned when Bleu disappeared at the bar with a man earlier tonight. I was on the verge of barging into the back until my lass came out on stage to perform with the band. I don’t think I’ve ever been so surprised in all my life. I knew she played but I never pegged her for a public performer. That doesn’t seem like my Bonny at all.
But I guess I don’t really know the real Bleu MacAllister. I only know the woman she pretended to be.
A Necessary Sin is currently on sale for only $0.99 for a limited time only! The final book is also available for pre-order!
Georgia resides in rural Mississippi with her wonderful husband, Jeff, and their two beautiful daughters. She spent fourteen years as a labor and delivery nurse before she decided to pursue her dream of becoming an author and hasn’t looked back yet.
When she’s not writing, she’s thinking about writing. When she’s being domestic, she’s listening to her iPod and visualizing scenes for her current work in progress. Every story coming from her always has a song to inspire it.
