I have been looking forward to this release for so long! The previous book in this Bad Habit Series, Make Me Sin, was a top 2016 read for me and told A.J. and Chloe’s heartbreakingly beautiful story. I have been dying to know if they would get their well-deserved happily ever after, and my curiosity was also peaked at what in the world could be going on between Chloe’s 'tough as nails' bestie, Grace Stanton, and the sexy and mysterious Bad Habit guitarist, Brody Scott. Thank goodness, the wait is finally over! In Sin with Me, Geissinger has once again gifted an incredibly suspenseful and sweet romance topped off with her down to earth wit and style, characters to adore, and some of her steamiest writing yet!

In her youth, Grace Stanton lost her family and her memory as well. Now a successful psychologist, she is strong and independent. Her future holds no place for any man – no feelings and no strings attached relationships only. However, Grace can’t help it that she can’t quit thinking about Bad Habit’s super sexy guitarist, Brody Scott, and she certainly can’t deny the sizzling chemistry they share when they are around each other.

Brody is fighting demons from his past and knows he doesn’t deserve Grace, but he is so smitten with the gorgeous redhead! He’s been watching her from afar for almost two years, as his Bad Habit bandmates Nico and A.J. have found love and happiness with her best friends Kat and Chloe. Now unable to hold back his feelings for Grace anymore, Brody is more determined than ever to get her to give him a chance. Will he be able to break through her armor and get her to open up to him, and is it possible for him to overcome the nightmares from his own past and have a future with the woman of his dreams?

Geissinger did a fantastic job in creating Grace and Brody’s complex characters! I absolutely adored Brody – there were just so many things to love about him. He was so fun, charming, and incredibly romantic. Brody completely worshipped the ground that Grace walked on and was so selfless and giving to her – always putting her first. While outwardly he seemed so easy going, he also had a mysterious inner turmoil as well. His desperation for Grace's love at times seemed almost out of character for him, and it left me really anxious in my hope for him to be the wonderful man that I presumed him to be! I definitely understood where Grace was coming from regarding relationships and dealing with her past. I also really enjoyed seeing more depth to her sarcastic and feisty character as she evolved throughout the story. Underneath her hardened shell was a sweet and caring woman who was afraid to have hope in relationships and finding love.

From super heroes to super powers, Grace and Brody were so flirty and fun together! I really enjoyed their connection and how they were even downright silly at times with each other. The dual point of view really helped to understand the amount of depth and heart they each had and allowed me to understand their insecurities better. Perhaps I am a glutton for punishment, but I did feel that Grace crumbled a little too quickly with her feelings for Brody. However, he was pretty darn irresistible, and their passion for each other was incredibly intense. I am talking super steamy passion here… so insanely hot their burn was almost tangible!

With Geissinger's perfectly well-written balance of wit, humor, intrigue, and sexy romance, this was an utterly suspenseful read with a fast and consuming pace! I went into this filled with anticipation and anxiety, already familiar with the many ways this author can affect my emotions with her sometimes-gut-wrenching twists and turns in her plots. Although this certainly had some, I'll admit that I was actually a little relieved that she didn’t put me through the ringer quite as much with this one. Of course, after reading the acknowledgements, I feel the need to thank Geissinger’s developmental editor for her suggestion to not leave her readers with her initial ‘funny’ ending. I’m not sure that I would have been able to deal if she had not changed it!

This series has been like an addiction to me! I simply adore the fun-loving yet mysterious Bad Habit bandmates and their friends who have captured me with their charm and won my heart. Whether their paths are sunshine and roses or not, the white knuckled ride of romantic suspense in each story is like a rush of adrenaline that leaves me falling in love and yearning for more every time. This is a series I highly recommend checking out!

*** 4.5 Stars for Me! ***

Sin with Me continues my fascination with the band Bad Habit, this time following the story of Brody and Grace. As I know from having diligently read the first two books in this series, these bad boy rockers are very bad, but have an inner nugget of goodness that ends up shining through. Sin With Me is not as dark as the previous novel, but Brody and Grace BOTH carry an inner demon. I think this is a is a first for this series. Grace’s demon comes from her lack of memory. She was in a horrible car accident in her teens, where both her parents died and she doesn’t remember them. She lives life like every day could be her last because she was told that she could lose her memory again at any moment. With that possibility on her agenda she does not emotionally let anyone in, but she does give give them a notch on her bedpost. Brody is a little more of a mystery. We are only given hints of Brody’s inner agonies, but there is definitely a devil inside him that he’s trying to ignore and we know it has similarities to Grace’s past.

I feel like we know these two pretty well. They’ve been making googly eyes at each other for two years, and things have always been a little tense between them, so it’s not really a surprise when his novel starts off pretty quickly – in bed. In fact, isn’t there a drinking game with -in bed tacked on to the end? Oh, that’s a fortune cookie game. Well, anyway, if I had to take a drink every time they got down to business I’d need to read this book over time or I’d be wasted! However, in between all the sex was a solid storyline. It was nice to see Grace lighten up a little, and to get to know Brody a bit better. As a side note, I really enjoyed his relationship with his housekeeper Magda, it added a little comic relief and gave his background more depth.

J. T. Geissinger writes a gritty love story and I’ve really enjoyed this series. Dare I hope that there will be another one?

I loved this one! The storyline is unique and fresh and it grabbed my attention from the very first page. Brody and Grace were so great together and I couldn't help but pull for Brody on his quest to break through all of Grace's walls and get her to give him a chance. The story has a twist that had me biting my nails. While you knew something was coming exactly how it would weave through the story was what kept me flipping the pages! This is an excellent read and one I recommend to everyone.

Sin With Me is Grace and Brody's story in Book 3 of the Bad Habit series. This book is all about secrets and forgiveness for past mistakes. It has all the feels. There is humor, mystery and lots of white hot passion. I really enjoyed this book. I haven't read the first two books in the series and I was able to follow along just fine. Having read the other two books would have added all the little extras you get from reading in order but it was great none the less. I will be reading the other ones because I loved the story and need to know about the other characters back stories.

Sin With Me is the much anticipated third book in the Bad Habit series. I absolutely FLOVED books 1 and 2 and could not wait for the third.  Kat and Brody were familiar characters from the previous books and I just needed their story after that curious ending in book two!

Brody and Kat's story was filled with my three favorite things: Heat, Humor and Heart. These two pulled at my heartstrings and I could not get enough. The banter was on point and fiery and THE STEAM. Holy God does this author deliver! Brody and Kat were on fire!! And can I just say Brody blewmy mind!! Lord. It's always the quiet ones, I swear LOL. But like in all J.T. Geissinger novels, secrets are the other woman. What happens when a deep dark secret comes out that creates a path of destruction that they may not be able to come back from?

Sin With Me takes place minutes after the second book ended. While this book is a standalone, Geissinger does a wonderful job linking each book and providing the necessary background for a reader who hasn't necessarily read the previous two books. (But why wouldn't you read them!? Nico and A.J.'s books were ABSOLUTELY amazing and will stay with me forever!) It is a testament to the author's amazing writing prowess that each story has stayed with me without having to be reread once. They hit a spot inside and never left after making such an impact. Furthermore, the author takes rockstar books to a new level in that these books go beyond the "rockstar life".  They are deeply honest depictions of characters that have flaws and secrets but who love just as hard and intensely.  I am absolutely in love with all three novels in this fantastic series and I am sad to see it end. 4.5 amazing stars! ~Ratula

I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this novel.

Make me sin is my favorite book from series. Like OMG great intense interesting plot. Both Grace and Brody soo amazing characters well developed and their humorous side like again amazing. I laugh I shed a tear but the book is really truly great. It is also great that we come to see what is happening with previous character. But this is really for me so great story line. Grace is breaking her walls and we come to see why she is the way she is and Brody is also great. He shows her weak side insecurity but also his attraction and chemistry between him and Grace of the hook. Like OMG the scenes are panty melting. Great book in every way you look at it.
Highly recommended!
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly

First I want to say I loved the first two books in this series and there were parts of this book I loved also. The interaction between Grace and her friends was great. Grace's total obsession with sex just didn't do it for me. I'm not going to stop reading this author just because this wasn't my favorite book. I really want Barney to get a HEA!!

4 stars.
The only real regret that I have with this highly entertaining and sexy read is that I didn't read the first two books in this series prior to this one. Grace and Brody had amazing sexual chemistry, loved his nickname for her (Slick) and Grace's wit had me smiling while reading.
Really loved this book, I will be reading Bad Habits books 1&2 in the near future. I do recommend for other readers that you read in order though as revealing details of other couples stories are interwoven throughout this book.

This is part of a continuing series. I highly advise readers to have read the prior books. This book has many plot points and some may be difficult for some readers. The main thrust is the talent in the authors writing. This is a series you will gravitate to or maybe not.

Found another author to add to my "go to" list. Loved the dialog between characters. Always know a book is a winner when I laugh out loud in places and get butterflies in my stomach in others.

Totally enjoyed this romance. Good solid plot. Thanks!!!

I must admit to not being a 100% sure of this one, as I did not particularly like Grace from the previous books. I dont like ball busting heroines who are commitment phobes and sleep around....so I went into this one with a bit of trepidation.

It took a while for me to come around to Grace, especially since she is still sleeping with her current fling. I dont know, call me a old fashioned romantic but once a hero and heroine lock eyes then I dont mind what drama comes after that, but I dont like them sleeping with other people in the mean time....that's just me!!!

I liked Brody alot and he was pretty much what kept me going in the beginning, till I warmed up to Grace. Then I kept turning the pages because I was 100% hooked and was well into it.

There is of course a huge secret that has to come out before these 2 can have their HEA, and oh boy is it a doozy!!!

I enjoy this author, love all the secondary characters and since their are still 2 more left in the band, I can wait to read their stories....or will it be story....mmmm

ARC received for review

This book picks up right where book two ends. You don't have to read the first two, but they will add some background to this one.

Chloe doesn't do relationships, and after a month with a guy he has to hit the road. She almost kisses Brody before her current fling ends. (Can I say Marcus sounds really yummy). I thought I knew what Brody's secret is, and I was almost right. Chloe and Brody were great together until the secret comes out, and boom! tragedy.

Lost of the previous two couples plus Barney and Kenji. Please tell me there's going to be a spin-off series since he's leaving. Also hoping for one more Bad Habit book with Chris and Ethan cause I'm pretty sure they like to share.

How have I not been reading Geissinger all this time? For the third book in a series, this book simply blew me away. Star-crossed doesn't even begin to cover Grace and Brody's relationship. High drama and wild emotions mark this book. Unfortunately, it is the third book in this series and I had not read either of the other books. I highly recommend that books 1 and 2 be read first since there was a very high learning curve and knowledge threshold here. It's clear that neither Brody nor Grace are complete characters without the knowledge of them from previous books - the only major flaw I found in this book.

Grace was in a car accident years ago and now suffers from (most likely) permanent retrograde amnesia. Her life started the day she woke up after the accident. Best friends Chloe and Kat (from the previous 2 books) are highly visible as well as Brody's bandmates A.J. and Nico. But it's the off-the-charts chemistry between Brody and Grace as well as the low grade love triangle that gets the party started.

It's obvious that Brody is too deep into Grace and, at times, he is over the top, especially for his age. Grace too can be melodramatic, despite her contention that Kat is the drama mama of the three girls. Mostly that's because Grace has put her emotions in deep freeze, and that is something I can understand.

Brody's emotional control seems to be remarkably fragile. As the story unfolds, I wish I had already read Brody and Grace's first meeting (they've known each other for 18 months when the book opens) because I wonder if that is touched on in earlier books. Either way, Brody is a wreck pretty much constantly. That bothers me a bit but I can also understand it.

It seems pretty clear that Brody's issues are somehow tied to Grace's issues - so I don't see that as a spoiler. Precisely how they are tied together is a mystery and it is solved by the end of the book. I'm grateful Geissinger listened to advice on this book (her author's note discusses this) because she gets 5 stars for this amazing book and it is safe to say the most I would have given had she not listened to that advice is 2 stars.

The emotion in this book ripped my heart out. It's dark and ugly and painful and so indescribably beautiful that I have already read one of her other books and am soon to be reading the rest of her backlist. As I said, how have I not been reading her. Along with the intense emotion is a frank language that at first made me shake my head but then made me laugh a little. It fits the characters.

Intense, emotional, sexy…

This is the third book in the Bad Habit series that can be read as a stand-alone.

Surviving the car accident that killed her parents when she was eighteen, Grace Stanton’s body healed but brain damage left her with no memories of life before that day. The medical prognosis for the future is grim, she could lose her memories again; that possibility has defined all her interactions. Relationships are kept short, no intimacy, no commitments, to protect others more than herself. Her two best friends didn’t know the extent of the damage suffered until she needed them to understand the reality she lives with. Her friends are involved with members of the rock group Bad Habit and there’s one member that she’s been avoiding for a year and a half, this delectably sexy man is a temptation she cannot afford to have, their shared chemistry is electric, undeniable but as nothing real is possible she denies him until only telling him her reality is left in an attempt to push him away which doesn’t work.

Bad habit’s lead guitarist, Brody Scott, has been pursuing the friend of two of his bandmates women for over a year. There‘s chemistry between them that’s more than just lust and he wants to date her to see where things could go but she keeps turning him down, not allowing them a chance, so rough on his ego but he’s patience personified. His pursuit is persistent and their flirtation never ceases. Finally learning what she hides does not deter him and when circumstances place them together for a period of time he’ll use it to get under her skin as she’s done with him. Grace though is not the only one who hid a secret and his could devastate them both.

Fate plays a shocking factor in these two lives that they will regrettably come to know. Both have serious past issues they are dealing with and nightmares that recur unexpectedly, something each understands. The reason why Brody is tormented he doesn’t share until too late. Can they overcome the pains of the past? The uncertainty of the future? Fate had them cross paths for a reason. Are they destined to be together? Or were they just destined to uncover the truth of the past?

This was an intense, emotional, sexy story with interesting protagonists and supporting characters. Prolific reader that I am, I figured out the twist to the story early on, not the details of it just what had to have occurred and knowing where things had to be headed did not in any way detract from my enjoyment of this story. We were given dual points of view which always enhances a story.

An advanced reading copy was obtained from the publisher via NetGalley.

4.5 stars

a good read

Yet another amazing book by JT Geissinger! What I love about this book the most was its humor! Yes we had the crazy chemistry, attraction and passion but the hilarious banter by kenji and the rest of the crew had me in stitches! And did I mention the crazy turn of events at the end?! Omg! Well worth the wait! You have to get this book!

For some reason I was resistant to reading this book. I mean, I read the synopsis and it sounded good, and I liked the first book of this series, but the second one was not my favorite, so although I was interested, I wasn't sure I would like it. But it totally ended up being my favorite so far! I loved Brody, and I loved how Grace and Brody interacted. It was sweet and funny, and really really hot! And the story was good too. I thought I knew what was happening, but there were still some surprises, and a few twists I didn't see coming. I am so glad I decided to dive in, and I can't wait for the next in the series.
