I really enjoyed this book!  Super steamy with unique characters and an interesting storyline.  I really liked both the main characters and the romance was fantastic.  Highly recommend!

I enjoyed reading this book but felt it was lacking in some way. I felt the story focus so much on the romance aspect that it overtook some of the other important parts of the story. Also, I feel it would have helped us understand our characters Grace and Brody, if at the beginning of the story, we knew about their pasts and how it affected the relationship with each other. It also would have helped to know how their pasts affected their lives and how it changed them.

The rock stars of Bad Habit is back in this third installment from J.T. Geissinger’s Bad Habit series. This time, Geissinger tells Brody and Grace’s story which I have been waiting for from the start. Geissinger did not disappoint to give this book the sexy factor that goes very well with the book cover.

If you’ve read the previous books, you know that Brody and Grace have been dancing around each other for some time. The sexual tension between them has been building up from the start. While Brody has been forthcoming with his interest in Grace, Grace has been in denial about their attraction. She’s focused on her career and only managed to only keep boy toys in short periods of time. The risks have been too high for her. With a very difficult past, Grace has decided, letting anyone in is just too much to handle. Though Brody has his own dark past and has his share of girl toys, he’s more than open to exploring a relationship with Grace. I love his sleek approach to letting Grace know of his interest. He never pushed but when given a chance he truly gave his heart out.

I love Brody and Grace’s story. I love that Geisinger opted for a “player” for her heroine. She knew what she wanted in her life and she wasn’t afraid to get it. Brody, on the other hand, was man enough to accept Grace for everything that she is. It made them a very hot couple and I thought it was a perfect match. They made me laugh with their funny banters and made me tear up with their very heartfelt past.

The only thing that prevented me from giving this book a 5-star rating is the mystery part of this story. Brody and Grace have a past in common and it got a bit complicated for them which I liked. Unfortunately, the connection was a tad bit predictable. I would’ve liked to have been surprised by it.

The Cover: The cover for Sin With Me is absolutely delicious. This beautiful tattooed man gives us a bit of eye candy to entice us in. And well for me, it worked. Gods, I am so shallow!!
The Plot: While the storyline of Sin With Me was well written, it took me a little while to get into. I was probably about a third into the book before I started to really get into it. After that? I was hooked. And the twist on this one was definitely worth waiting for. I thought I totally had every thing figured out. Boy, was I shocked to find out how wrong I was.
The Characters: While it took me a while to form any kind of attachments to our characters, once that happened, I couldn't stop reading. I just wanted to know how things would turn out for everyone. I didn't really have a favorite character, I thought each character was well written and fun. Brody and Grace's angst was so heavy at points, I was almost in tears.
Was it Worth Reading?: Definitely. I had never read this kind of book before with the intense sex and I would have liked to see Brody and Grace trade roles sometimes. I know it was about being able to let go and trust him and the whole role reversal or stepping out of your safe zone thing. It might be my own issues clouding my feelings on the matter. Also, I jumped in at book 3, but I still was able to enjoy the book. I have purchased my copies of Books 1 and 2, Sweet as Sin and Make Me Sin, which I will indulge in (and review for you) when I have time. I am pretty confident we will not be disappointed!
I highly recommend Sin With Me to readers of adult romance and give it 4 out of 5 crossbows.

God this series is just the gift that keeps on giving! J.T is just such a talented woman!!! Brody and Grace had an amazing story just as the others.

Grace is a sucsessful woman. When she sees what she wants she goes for it and I loved that!!! She is hesitant to be with Brody because of her past and doesnt want him to get hurt. Grace has a heartbreaking past that is very unique to others I have read about. It was very refreshing! 

Brody one of the members of the world wide know band only has eyes for one beautiful woman. Grace, gorgeous, fun, smart and loyal also not interested. Finally when Grace finally decides to give him a chance they are inseperable. When things from the past come to light they have to figure out how to deal with it!

Im obsessed with this series!!! All the characters are amazing and I cant wait for what else is in store for us!!!

Brody and Kat's story was filled with my three favorite things: Heat, Humor and Heart. The banter was funny and added to the story.   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?  How do you trust again?  While this book is a standalone, the author does a fantastic  job linking each book and providing the necessary background.

J.T. Geissinger's Bad Habit series are sexy, romantic, and gasp-inducing books - each one is equally and absolutely fantastic!  "Sin With Me" has with "star-crossed lovers", fate, guilt, and, forgiveness; and J.T. Geissinger weaves into an intriguing story.  It focuses on the last of the three best friends, Grace Stanton.  She was in a horrible hit and run car accident which killed both her parents, when she was 18.  Grace has no memory of anything before waking up in the hospital.  She's an independent, tough as nails, "Ice Queen", determined to never fall in love.  She has a 30 day sexual-based relationship rule, after which they walk away no-strings-attached.  Grace's friends want her to settle down and find love like they have.  But they're reasons why she lives her life this way and she's purposefully not told her friends why.  Everything's easy until Brody Scott comes into her life.
Brody's the lead guitarist of Bad Habit the band.  Grace's best friends have fallen in love with two of his band-mates.  Brody's funny, charming, dapper, and flirty.  Grace and Brody have enough sexual chemistry to power a large metropolis but Grace fights it desperately.  In the previous Bad Habit book, "Make Me Sin" Brody learns about Grace's accident from her friends Kat and Chloe.  Brody's visibly shaken.  At the beginning of "Sin With Me" Brody's at confession regarding something he feels extreme guilt over.  He's conflicted whether to keep his transgression a secret or tell it and risk it causing someone pain.  In the end he allows the sin to continue festering inside him.  We learn Brody was also in an automobile accident, before he got into the music program at UCLA.  It's something he can relate to with Grace but also doesn't want to talk about.
We learn why Grace doesn't allow herself to fall in love.  With her type of amnesia there's a risk she could completely forget her life again.  She doesn't want someone she loves to suffer through her forgetting who they are and that she once loved them.  Grace and Brody finally get on track toward a romantic relationship.  But Grace balks and explains why it won't be fair to him.  Brody tells her he doesn't care.  If he can make her fall in love with him once he'll make her fall in love with him again.
The last straw is when Grace drops one last secret that blows everything wide open.  It starts a chain reaction of events that becomes surreally ironic and almost fatal for two of the characters.
You think you know what the deal is but you really don't know - you do but you don't.  Trust me.  J.T. Geissinger does a little mind bending here.  Something sad happens and I'm not sure if this is a spoiler but we lose Gerald.  Actually he's moving over to Metrix Security in the Wicked Games series.  I LOVE "Sin With Me" because Brody and Grace are incredibly fun and lighthearted together.  Despite the heaviness of their storyline their banter is playful, behavior is mischievous, and the sex is hot and dirty.  This storyline is compelling and wonderfully balances angst with amusement.  The secondary characters are rock solid and the pace moves steadily.  I think "Sin With Me" may be my favorite Bad Habit book by far.  But I might have to re-read the series to be sure

Oh my...this book is everything.  J.T. is a new author for me. I am hooked. Instant fan girl here! 

Sin With Me has every component of a perfect book. The writing is outstanding. Tons of witty banter! Fantastic characters that you relate to and fall in love with. Off the charts chemistry. A storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat and unfolds so perfectly that you FEEL every emotion right along with them. And the absolute perfect build up for every pivotal moment. These are not easily achieved. Gah I just can't recommend it enough. 

The blurb for this book is dead on. Grace is a 'take no prisoners' type of person. A tragic accident took her parents and her memory. Building her life from scratch after has hardened her to love and relationships. Brody is a guitarist in Bad Habits, the same band Grace's friends husband and boyfriend are in. They've been circling their attraction to each other for over a year before Brody takes a chance corners Grace. When the angst between these two finally ignites a really steamy, slow burn ensues! They share a journey of discovery, laughter, love and most importantly some much needed and overdue redemption and absolution.. Truly a beautifully written adventure.

If you've read the first two books you'll be glad to know you get to catch up with Kat & Nico and Chloe & A.J. as well. I hope Barney gets a book next. I have a crush on him and he needs to find someone.

From the few (around 500) romance novels that I have read, this one surprised me. I'm talking your, "Where did that come from?", kind of surprise and I am not sure whether that's good or bad, or somewhere in between.

The story's bottom line is the happy ever after status, but the journey there for both Grace and Brody takes quite some bumps and a lot of guilt. From the very beginning, it feels as though Grace is in control- she knows what she wants and she goes for it, willing to sacrifice the little bit of happiness she might have. Then somewhere along the way comes Brody, the one person whom she cannot read or control to her satisfaction, and to make it worse, he is not willing to give up on her.
Grace's smack talk was new to me in a character but the Author evened the play field with Brody's comebacks.

However, attention wise, I was not so patient with the first two chapters, but after getting the hang of Grace's fear, the story took a fast turn and I rather loved the pace and kept up with it.
I would never have known or read J.T's books, but I am glad that NetGalley introduced me to her writing, what stood out for me in this book, is how her characters embrace their flaws.

Okay, I'll admit that the reason I noticed this book was the cover (hello, Brody). And that when I got past the first few pages that had hooked me I thought it was going to be another young twenty something book with little story and gratuitous sex. Boy was I wrong!
I kept reading because the first part, the part that had drawn me in was good enough for me to believe that there was more. Those first few pages set the tone and left me both curious and desiring to know.... The characters were young and I don't normally read books where the characters seem young but they were not shallow. This is several books into a series and can be read as a stand alone, but the other characters deserve to tell their stories. They have not so typical younger adult stories as well. 
Sin With Me turned out to be more. The characters had depth and were interesting. I won't give anything away, but it made me cry and hold my breath and sigh in relief at times. There were parts that were painful to see because I just knew it was going to be awful when A and B both clicked. In fact tragic enough that I couldn't put it down. I couldn't stop reading before there was some relief in the tension and stress. 
I would recommend Sin With Me to my friends. I wouldn't recommend it to my mother ;-). There are sexual situations of a definite adult variety.
I'm glad I gave this a chance because it was worth my time. In fact, I'm going back to read the others.

Unexpectedly funny, when the video plays on Grace’s phone at the hospital at top volume I honest to god laughed out loud and could not continue reading I was laughing so hard. The visuals painted by the authors’ words absolutely bring the story to life in your mind. The laughs just keep coming throughout the book. There are some serious moments, some very sad moments but the author follows them up with lighthearted, witty, hilarious banter and keeps you entertained and enthralled in her story. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time hoping I was wrong about Brody’s secret but waiting for the other shoe to drop. The author did not disappoint and my suspicions were correct with regards to his secret. The hilarious banter and serious moments both make the reader feel like this story could have actually happened and was unfolding before you. Great read.

Sin with me is the third book in this series, you do not have to read the first two but it's great to meet the other characters again plus once you've read this one you'll definitely want to read the previous two.
Although I thought the other two books were really good this one was absolutely wonderful. We now get Grace and Brody's story and what a cracker it is. The dialogue between the two is sparkling,so funny at times, also passionate and intense. This relationship is meant to be, and whilst both have dealt with tragic pasts they can heal each other, but Brady has a terrible secret that has shaped his whole life.and it is heartbreaking when revealed 
A fabulous book, so enjoyable I didn't want it to end.
Thanks to net galley and publisher for opportunity to review this book

J.T. Geissinger is a new to me author and one that I'll come back to read again! This is book three in the Bad Habit series. Although it's a standalone, all of the characters are close friends so their stories seem to overlap which was a little confusing in the beginning for me. Not near enough to make me put it down though because...WOW! I was immediately drawn in and intrigued with Brody from page one. He's probably everything I love in a rock star; broody, edgy, vulnerable, hot and well..COOL! Grace's character was great too, sarcastic, smart, feisty and also vulnerable. She tried being standoffish and cold but I could "see" her need to protect herself because of her past and I actually liked her in the end. I also LOVED the secondary characters especially Kenji, he cracked me up! I loved how close and caring everyone was towards each other. Enough that I'll absolutely add the first two books to my TBR. The story's emotional but hilarious and sexy, full of ups and downs, twists and turns. Told from dual POVs with a happy end. I received, read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Ahhhh I don't have enough good things to say about this book, and this series. I happened upon the first book purely on accident one day, and I was immediately hooked. As readers of my blog know, I love rock stars - and this series is at the top of my favorites list. They're emotional, hot, and just plain addicting. And they just keep getting better.

From early on, I was glued to my kindle. In fact, while reading this book, I was stuck somewhere between desperate for more and too nervous to keep going. Using the previous two books as a guide, I knew this author would break my heart before somehow managing to fix it back up. And oh, did she. No spoilers here, just... trust me. Sin With Me is another home run. And I have already added a print copy to my wish list because this is definitely one for the keeper shelves!

Cover Lovin': Definitely yummy, and goes perfect with the rest of the series. 

Recommendation: You'll want to read the previous books. Trust me.

Final Rating: FIVE out of FIVE stars (5/5)!! Love, can't praise highly enough, and I need more by this author asap. In fact, I might have to go reread the rest of the series right now!

Sin With Me is a hot as hell entry in this amazing rockstar series. This time it's Grace and Brody's story. I loved Grace a lot from the previous two books, but hadn't noticed Brody much. Probably because he's much more laid back than his two friends, Nico and AJ from Sweet as Sin and Make Me Sin, respectively. But, that laid back attitude makes for an interesting, sexy as sin man, even if he isn't all growly alpha like Nico or a broody mountain like AJ.

I love the sweet, witty banter Brody and Grace engage in. And when they finally give into their attaction? H O T !!!! These two steam up the sheets even more than Nico and Kat and AJ and Chloe, if that's at all possible. Don't go thinking that because Brody is a laid back guy that he doesn't get down and dirty (and a tad dominating) in the bedroom, because he does! Damn, does he! He's a dirty, dirty man!

And yes, there is angst, there's a huge secret at hand that Grace isn't aware of and Brody is, but the angst isn't as crazy as what happened to AJ (and Chloe), but it will tug at your heart strings a little. It made Grace the strong woman she is, though, so it's not all bad. And Grace is strong, so strong! She's a badass woman and Brody loves and respects that about her. Brody and Grace make a perfect couple: she with all her strong backbone and take no s**t attitude but with a secret soft heart, and he with his sweet, laid back, surfer boy charm that hides a heart as soft as Grace's.

I'm really glad Grace and Brody finally got their story, it's an amazing one. I'm hoping Barney gets his story told next and that he'll stay in their world even if it's just him remaining their friend.
