***5 ‘Completely Unexpected’ Stars***

This book was everything I knew it would be and completely unexpected in all the best ways possible. It was sweet, swoon worthy, smexy as hell, heart breaking and heartwarming, funny and just a tad bit crazy and filled with characters that I simply want more of in every way possible.

I didn’t think it would be possible, but Brody has nudged AJ out of the top spot as the man I adore more of the Bad Habit boys. I’m as shocked as you are, but it happened. Brody was completely unexpected. This man is all kinds of smexy alpha male goodness with a huge heart, compassionate soul and sense of humor that turned me into a dopey smile fool throughout the entire book.

Grace is all kinds of ‘I am woman, hear me roar’. She’s intelligent, comfortable in her own skin and not afraid to go after what she wants on her own terms. I liked her straightforward nature, but I loved seeing underneath the armour of self preservation she wraps herself in because that woman is all kinds of amazing with her random bits of knowledge and her will, even if a little skewed, to live life to the fullest.

Their journey to their HEA was everything I thought it would be AND a total surprise all at the same time. I loved, despite their issues, how easy they were with each other. Their interactions were fun and felt natural, the sexual chemistry between them was intense ~ you should probably have your B.O.B. within reach ~ and I enjoyed watching as they got closer in every way imaginable. That big, bad twist that crashes into their road wasn’t unexpected and my heart hurt for both of them, but I loved how it all got resolved and where they were at when the book ended.

I enjoyed the various twists and turns throughout the story and was surprised by how a couple of them played out. I loved catching up with Nico, Kat, AJ and Chloe & her parents, but I have to admit that my heart has a very special place reserved for Kenji, I absolutely adore the queen that he is. And then there is Magda. She is just as amazing as Kenji in her own special way. There were no teases as to which of the remaining Bad Habit men will be up on the chopping block next, but I’m definitely looking forward to finding out!

The icing on the cake in this series I do believe. It opens with Brody in a confessional, and some wise words from the Priest on the other side of the screen. The story focuses on Brody and Grace although we get, as in the other books lots of interaction with the rest of the gang. Brody and Grace have been dancing around each other for a while, and it's their time now. Brody finally decides to make his move despite a past that continues to haunt him, he pushes forward with Grace. I really liked Grace.
I loved seeing AJ and Chloe again and the bebe`. They go through another scare with AJ's health and there's a lot of distraction. Kat is so overly dramatic, one of the "things I had with her in the previous two books. I digress.
Grace stays the night at Brody's new house, it saves her life as her apartment in her condo blew up due to a neighbor smoking while running his O2. While things can be replaced, gone are the last bits that Grace has from her parents. They were killed in a car accident that left Grace with no memories of her life before that, no current memories and the threat that she could once again lose her memory without warning. Which is why she has her "rules" about life, her 30 limit on relationships and the rest of it. Grace still has nightmares of that night. Bring pulled from the car by some young man and then left. The accident classed as a hit and run and no witnesses, no suspects. It was a done deal.
Brody and Grace have a history of sorts, but only Brody and his best friend Barney know about what happened. Barney hits on Grace here and there and it doesn't make Brody too happy. Grace sees it as harmless flirting.
When the anniversary of the accident draws near, the group preps and gathers at Brody's house that day, St Patricks Day and the other shoe in Brody's life drops.
This books seemed to go by much to fast and was a good read. I won't go into the ending and am not sure if JT plans on another book for the series. I liked this one, I thought book two was a little more intense and had more drama and suspense. All in all this one is still a good read. Just because of Brody and Grace. They seem to be the two most normal characters of the bunch.
Great read.

JT Geissinger has written another amazing novel!
Sin With Me was everything I was hoping it would be! It had plenty of steam, tension and "trouble" filled moments!!
Brody and Grace had so many memorable moments within this novel, that I will never be able to forget. The passion and connection they shared had its challenges and struggles. They were broke down and haunted by the secret. But, you know what they say, when you love someone, love can conquer all. Does love conquer all and come out victorious in this novel?? Well, I guess you'll have to pick up the book to find out!
I definitely fell in love with this novel, and recommend it to everyone else!
4/5 Stars!

I love this book, she weaves a world you can instantly get lost into and I have to say that I am so glad I read her words.

Having read and loved the first two books in this series I was thrilled to be reading the third book as I feel like I have been waiting for it. Although ‘Sin With Me’ by J.T. Geissinger is the third in the series and each book can be read as a standalone but I do think you would enjoy it more having read the other books. This is a definite 5 star read.


Grace has been through some horrific times and deals with it the best way she can. Determined not to let anyone get too close she chooses not to have relationships and only have sex meaning no one gets in her heart. Grace is strong, smart and beautiful but also very afraid of being hurt. Reading Grace’s story was an emotional read and you really felt for her what she had been through.


Lead guitarist of the “Bad Habits’ Brody is sexy as sin but also has a past that he is hiding from too. Brody knows that Grace is something special, he can feel the connection to her and knows she can feel it too but he needs to convince her that he is worth taking a chance on and that he can and does love her.


The connection between Grace and Brody is undeniable and was brilliant to read. The banter back and forth was funny, entertaining and kept you reading for more. This was my favourite of the three books and would highly recommend the whole series with twists and turns, sex, heat and humour thought out that make it a must read.

Wow. This is the third in the series and I defiantly recommend you read the other two first. We rejoin the gang of Bad Habit, but this time it's Brody and Grace's turn. They have been circling each other for a year but Grace doesn't do more than a month with a guy thanks to her past. He's been a playboy for a while, but he knows Grace is different.

It's a great story line that pulls you in. His secret her lost memories and a whole lot of bumpy road in between. You just want to hug Brody so hard and never ever let him go. You get the rest of the crew too. A.J. and Chloe, Kat and Nico, and of course you can't forget Kenji and Chris and Ethan. I wonder if those three will get a book? Maybe Barney? Can't wait to find out.

I have been looking forward to this story and goodness me, was it worth it? Definitely. An exceptional read!

Brody is the lead guitarist of the rock group, Bad Habits. He has the aura of a bad boy and the surfer look. He is single but has already set his sights on someone who does her best to avoid him.

Grace is a marriage and family therapist who avoids long term relationships at all costs. She is content with her casual affairs but is extremely loyal to her two besties, Kat and Chloe.

For eighteen months Brody has been making eyes at Grace to no avail. She avoids him for what she believes are good reasons but he is nothing if not persistent. It would appear that fate is determined to put them in each other's path. The incident which takes place at Grace's condo whilst she is at a party leaves her with little choices for the immediate future. From here on out it's a very emotional ride.

Their banter is hilarious most of the time but when it turns serious, it brings out all kinds of emotions. Their sexual interactions are steamy and their feelings are very tangible. Grace imparts some details of her parts to Brody but he finds it difficult to discuss the reasons why he carries this guilt on his shoulders.

When Brody's secret eventually catches up with him, it triggers life changing events for both of them. Will this revelation be the end of a beautiful thing or will fate prevail?

I absolutely love this story even though it drove me to tears at times. I couldn't help but feel everything that they were going through. Phew! It was exhausting but so worth it. It's also good to see how AJ, Nico, Kat and Chloe have evolved. It's like being part of this small family. As usual, Kenji always brings a smile to my face. Magda is a great character too. The whole thing is fabulously portrayed.

I am so glad that the author changed her mind about the "cliffhanger". That would have been devastating. Thank you for taking us right to the end. You can tell that I really enjoyed going on this journey.

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.

I have been a huge fan of J.T. Geissinger ever since I read the first Bad Habit book and fell in love with not only the hot members of the rock band, but also the sassy and wonderful women who stole their hearts. First Kat and Nico then Chloe and A.J and now Grace and Brody. Though any fan of the series would have seen this connection a mile away it has not been an easy journey and this book proves that sometimes, the best things in life take time and a lot of determination on the part of one very sexy rock star ;)

Grace has always been the sensible one in the group of best friends consisting of Kat, Chloe and herself. She was always the voice of reason. More often then not, the voice of skepticism - as far as love and relationships were concerned. For her relationships have an expiration date of one month. And that one month is spent mostly between the sheets with not too much emotional connection. Grace lost her identity, her family and 18 years of her life in a car accident. She still has nightmares about the incident and like all survivors feels a certain amount of guilt as to why she was spared. That's why she lives life recklessly and to the fullest. She is also aware of the mutual attraction that she shares with Brody. But she knows that she wants nothing permanent and serious and with them being part of a group of friends she just doesn't want to risk it. No matter how tempting and mouth watering the sexy lead guitarist is.

Brody Scott also has a secret. A secret that also gives him nightmares and that he is unable to shake off or forget. But he had no idea how tied his secret was to Grace's accident until her friends mention it. Now he has no idea what to do. He has never been so drawn to a woman as he is to the red haired beauty. She is more than just sexy. She is smart, sassy and goes after what she wants. If only he can get her to give him a chance. But he wants more from her than just a lust filled month. He is after the real deal.

Another great great book by J.T. Geissinger. I just love this series. This may seem like just a rockstar romance, but this series is filled with stories that you won't be able to forget. They may be sometimes dark and deep, but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. And trust me, there are a lot of very steamy and imaginative love scenes on the way to the end of that tunnel. I truly have no idea who the next book of the series will be about. I was thinking that it could be about Barney, seeing as that Ethan and Chris barely played any part in this book. But now I'm not so sure. And I do get a menage vibe from Ethan and Chris. So I guess I'll just have to patiently wait and see...

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.
