Sins Of The Past ...
Rowan Harper thought being with a vampire would keep her out of harm's way. But true evil lurks in the darkness, and not even her lover, Gabriel, knows all of its tricks.
Rowan may be his Promise, the one woman who can save Gabriel's soul, but the two of them have a long and complicated history that Rowan is only now discovering--complete with old enemies who will stop at nothing to make them suffer.
When Rowan is abducted and forced to witness unspeakable violence, secrets of the past begin to unfold. Secrets that show Gabriel's best friend Aleksei in a new light.
Will the truth destroy all three of them or bind them more tightly together, and if evil prevails, will it be Rowans's soul that ultimately needs saving?
I had no clue what this series was about, and that can be tough when you get to a book three in any saga. But the author does an excellent job keeping me up-to-date with the present, while not dwelling too much from past stories. From what I could tell anyway.
A good mix of action and dialog keeps the pace and forward movement of the characters. There's a past between the main two but I never felt left out on what that was. Our leading pair seem to be really solid, though it took them some time to get there. With more trials and tribulations to come! As you would expect with any great PNR.
Some awesome bad guys playing around in the tale also help keep the reader on the edge of their seat. Friends and side characters are making a scene and hopefully can get some spin off stories. The tone and texture of this book is very well planned and executed. Overall, I am really and truly impressed.
I didn't know this author before, but I'm sure glad I do now!

About the Author:
website-FB
Born and raised in England, I now call South Carolina home where I live with my wonderfully supportive husband, awesome son, and the most discerning canine critique group ever - if tails aren’t wagging then the story isn’t working!
I owe my love of literature to my mother, who, after catching me reading by flashlight beneath the bed covers, calmly replaced the romance book I’d ‘borrowed’ with one that was far less risqué, and much more appropriate for a pre-teen! She encouraged me to include a wide variety of genres in my reading tastes, but romance, and paranormal romance in particular, has remained my first love.
I never really thought about writing a romance novel until I read one that was so bad I can only assume it got published by mistake! Making such a comment to my BFF, Sharon, she challenged me to do better. The result was a 250-thousand word epic that I affectionately refer to as my ‘bodice-ripper’ romance - and yes, I still have it!
When I’m not writing I can be found in my kitchen. I love baking, and my husband will actually admit his love of Christmas fruitcake. (Personally I think all that brandy in the fruit has something to do with it!) If not baking then I’m working on my latest tapestry project or playing catch-up with my reading list where I always seem to be at least three books behind!
It’s a crazy-good life, and I wouldn’t change it for anything, although I wouldn‘t object if I came up with the winning lottery numbers!
