4 Stars!!

Wow! This book had it all—angst, humor, sizzling chemistry, secrets, and some seriously deep back stories! I have to say, Sin with Me was a great read!

A little advice, while it isn’t absolutely necessary to read the first two books in the series, I would highly recommend it. When I jumped with both feet into reading this, without having read the other books, I felt a little like an outsider at a party among life-long friends. That being said, the prologue was jaw-dropping and then the book just took off running.

Grace and Brody are complicated characters, which made them that much more intriguing to me. What you see isn’t really all you get. Grace goes through life with a little attachment as she can possibly manage. Brody hides something that has haunted him for a long time. Neither seems to think they deserve love, nor do they really want it. However, once they stop fighting (which takes a LONG time, btw) the sparks fly. Watch your fingers, folks. These pages scorch at times.

J. T. Geissinger weaves a complicated and emotional story of loss, love and letting go.

J.T. Geissinger's Sin With Me is instantly addictive. From the start, even having read no other books in this series, I fell in love with the whole sparkling cast of characters. Especially Brody and Grace.

Brody is a happy-go-lucky, nothing-gets-me-down, considerate guy with a charming personality that is both confident and self-effacing. The effect is an incredibly sexy, lovable rock star you just want to spend all your time around. But he's hiding a secret, suppressing memories of something horrible he can't forgive himself for, and that easy-going, carefree guy only goes skin deep.

Grace is a man-eating, ball-crushing beast of a beauty who doesn't do relationships. Her guys get one month, during which she takes heavy mutual advantage of their god-given assets, and then she's off to the next booty call. She's a marriage counselor who has no intention of getting married but can't totally run from the sweetheart inside who just wants to help people. Her mouth may be sharp enough to cut through glass (and egos) like hot butter, but her secret is a scary one, and there's a very good reason she doesn't do long-term relationships.

As this story unfolds, I became more and more charmed by Brody, and by the whirlwind beauty of his romance with Grace. They are an adorable couple and I simply couldn't (didn't!) get enough. I loved meeting the band and Grace's girlfriends (including Kenji), and of course I adored the little glimpses into their rock star lifestyle. This book is brimming over with emotions. I can't wait to read more Bad Habit stories.

J.T. Geissinger has become one of my new personal "must read" authors over the last year, and taking my first dip into her rock stars world was even more satisfying than I'd expected. And I expected a lot. This woman writes passion like it's her middle name, and I don't mean just in the sex scenes (although those are admittedly super charged). Every scene has weight and purpose. Moments shine like stars and characters straight up steal your heart. Everything she writes is original and refreshing, infused with humor, heart, and soul. Sin With Me is easily a one-click read and a recommended romance on GraveTells.

J.T. Geissinger prevails with SIN WITH ME the third book in the Bad Habit series.  After losing her memory and family, Grace Stanton, is apprehensive of relationships.  Bad Habit’s lead guitarist, Brody Scott, hides a guilty secrete from his youth.  Their chemistry is undeniable.  Fate has interesting things in store for the couple.  This contemporary Rockstar romance is suitable for adult audiences.  It takes place in California.

Grace and Brody are a fun couple.  I love how they are always quoting movie lines to each other, and that they call each other out on the verbatim of the words.  I found it amusing, how they would playfully tell the other one things like they were ugly or had big uneven feet.  I like that they are both adrenalin junkies.  I love Brody’s church.  

I found it appropriate that they both had scars from their past that caused nightmares and phobias.  Fate played an interesting roll in this story.  They both had a lot to deal with in this story and came out the better for it.  

I savored that the characters from the previous books played an important part of this novel.  Starting with the birth of Chloe and A.J.’s baby (from book two MAKE ME SIN).  The characters in this novel are amazing friends who are like a family to each other.  

I loved this story!  It helped that I already liked the main characters from the previous books in the series, but we learn so much more about both Brody and Grace in SIN WITH ME.  J.T. Geissinger does an incredible job with her character development and plot.  She is a skilled writer who creates power stories.  I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Sin With Me by J.T. Geissinger
“Giving love a chance, 5 stars”

They call Grace the ice queen. She’s put together, well off finacially, and keeps people a good arms length away. Grace doesn’t do relationships or commitment. When she was eighteen she was in an accident that caused her to lose her memory making her fear ever getting involved with anyone aside from her two best friends. 
Brody has wanted Grace since the moment he met her almost two years ago. He knows if anyone was made for him its Grace. But his past haunts him and some things can never be unseen. What happens when his and Grace’s pasts collide. Will the bad boy rocker get the ice queen?
Sin With Me is hot. I’m pretty sure Brody and Grace are my new favorite couple in the series. In the bedroom things aren’t exactly vanilla, but not not red room status. But holy guacamole is it hot. You also get to catch up with the friends and band from the previous two books. Geissinger definitely didn’t disappoint with Sin With Me. Here are a couple quote’s I enjoyed from Sin With Me;
“The reality of who and what Grace Stanton is would melt the heart of even the most zombified, frostbitten White Walker George R.R. Martin could ever conceive.”
“You were right when you said I was afraid. I’ve gone skydiving and hang gliding and bungee jumping and climbed the highest summit of Mount fucking Kilimanjaro during an ice storm with a guide named Rooster who was drunk the entire time, and I’ve never been as scared of anything as I am of this thing I feel for you.”
“The best churches don’t have stained glass windows or statues of dead saints or even ceilings and walls. You don’t need a building to find forgiveness. You don’t need communion wafers and holy water to be blessed. And miracles are everywhere. All you have to do is look.”
Plot- 5/5

Although I haven't read the other books of this series, this story can easily be read as a stand-alone and it was a story I really enjoyed, despite the fact that I disliked the heroine in the beginning. She was too provocative and dismissive of relationships, but once I learnt why she was that way, I really started to like Grace. The way this story started with what the hero is going through had me hooked to Brody's point-of-view. Why can't he forgive himself? What will it take to get the hero to forgive himself?

Both the main characters have intense back stories, and I could empathize with what they've been through in the past. Will being together make everything better, if they can open up to each other? Will Brody be able to convince Grace that they deserve a chance to be happy together, despite her reservations? Moreover, I could understand why Grace was hesitant to get involved with Brody because of her medical condition. However, I liked that she was strong and brave enough to give a relationship between them a chance. Since Brody is fun and they bring out the best in each other when they're teasing one another. While Brody, I liked how determined he was to win Grace over and wasn't afraid to push her to see that he isn't afraid that her medical condition could cause problems for their relationship if she happened to have a relapse. He was that confident that he'd find a way to win back her love no matter what.    

Overall, this was a really good read where the sex scenes were smoking hot, showed that Brody wasn't afraid to push Grace's limits, and proved that the heroine doesn't always have to be in control. The way this story ended left me an emotional mess because of Brody's secret and how it affected Grace. Would she be able to forgive Brody and the secondary characters she thought she could trust? However, in saying that, I did like how things worked out between this couple, because Grace wasn't about to let the past ruin her future with Brody. None of what happened was his fault, since he did his best to make things right. Furthermore, the epilogue wrapped this story up perfectly, as readers discover how far Grace and Brody have come in their relationship and how he's not ever going to let her go. I would recommend Sin With Me by JT Geissinger, if you enjoy the friends to lovers trope or books by authors K. Bromberg, Vi Keeland, Cari Quinn or Meghan March.

Loved Brody and Grace!

J.T Geissinger did it again! I loved this book in the end. I say this because I didn't love it in the beginning or I didn't like the female character. She was so annoying and I hated her behavior and thinking process. But in a perfect J.T Geissinger style she made me love and understand this girl in the end. I'm not going to tell you why I'm saying this, you will have to read the book. The writing, as always, was perfect and the flow of the story was spot on. You should one click this one you won't be disappointed!

Grace and Brody picked right up where we left off in Make Me Sin and I have to admit I was on pins and needles throughout the whole book. I knew what was coming, but I just wasn't sure how it was going to come about. Turns out, I didn't completely guess it accurately from the clues in book 2. I love that this author was still able to surprise me. 

I usually shy away from rocker books because of the potential of too much other woman drama. I am happy to say you won't have that in this series. It is on the high end of angst but the kind that keeps you on your toes and doesn't let you put the book down. I've really enjoyed this series and highly recommend it!

These two had a strong sexual and emotional connection. Their lives were more entwined then even they knew. They have some hurdles to jump over before they can get their happy ending, but they do get one. The sex scenes between these two was hot. I enjoyed seeing old characters from the previous books and how their lives are going as well. Some of my questions I had about these two while I was reading the other two books were answered. This was a difficult book to put down. This story was a good read. 
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

My Review:
This book had ups and downs for me...the end was fabulous, the beginning was sexy, hot, and the middle fell a tiny bit flat for me (it may have had just a tiny bit too much sex for me in the middle without enough meat...for me anyway). My favorite parts...besides that heart stopping ending...were the scenes with Marcus and Barney...and neither were the hero of the book...but I felt so badly for them because they were great hero material and were so into Grace. I truly loved both of them and their depths with seeing when Grace was putting up her walls. 

I loved Brody, too...don't get me wrong. I love how he sees this relationship as it really is and immediately recognizes how deep his emotions are. He comes across as this cocky, ego-driven rock star, but he's so much more and hiding depths. There was a tiny detail that was at the very end about his talent with music (in a memory where it was recognized what talent he had when trying out for UCLA)...I really wish more of that had come through the story. I like those little details, and despite this being a rock star romance, the music didn't play into the story at all and I missed that.

Grace is a little harder to love. She has big, huge walls blocking off her heart...with good reason. I can't imagine living through what she did and losing all that she did. I thought her choice in careers was very fitting...but her actions didn't necessarily fit that a lot of the time. It's hard to see her as a materialistic, one night stand kind of girl on one hand, and then a serious therapist on the other. Those two sides just didn't seem to fit.

So, a bit of a mixed review, but I'll say...the end of this book was so fabulous...it made up for a few mixed feelings earlier in the story. I may not have loved this one quite as much as I've loved the other two books in the series, but in the end I was so glad that I read it. It made for a great escape...and it was a really sexy, hot read, too. There is no doubt that Grace and Brody have sizzling chemistry...that first really in depth sexy scene...wow...loved it so much. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for an honest review.

The long-awaited (much) third installment in the Bad Habit series, Sin With Me shines as both a continuation and as its own entity. Grace and Brody, two characters with powerfully damaging pasts, come together with such force that the reverberations are impossible to measure. With in-your-face passion and a gracefulness that you wouldn’t expect, Geissinger brought together these two scarred individuals and created something spectacular.

There’s nothing else quite like a book with a hero who shows such stark vulnerability, a wide-open heart, and how it can, in effect, crush your own heart with empathy. The contrast between the two, his openness to her closed-off manner, made for a truly combustible attraction based on her contemptuous feelings and his playful, but oh-so-sweet flirting. The easy and spirited wit and banter between the two was a joy to experience. I could not get enough of them and the delicious fire that burned out of control. And speaking of fire, the eroticism and pure scorching hotness of this novel was the kind one should read with a partner, real or plastic.

While the wait for this novel was long, it was very much worth it. To see the other couples, experience their continuing stories, and to finally see Brody and Grace come together, was worth any length of wait. Geissinger, again, pens a beautiful love story with lovable, vivid characters and the kind of emotional journey that pays off in the end in Sin With Me. It’s a must read story.

The bad habit boys are back, gird your loins and be prepared to fall in love all over again with these sinful rockers. The 3rd book on the series Sin with Me is even hotter than the rest but this is Grace and Brody's story so what more can you expect.  Sexy heros, sassy heroines and a plot that doesn't quit is what I get every time I read a book by J.T. Geissenger and Sin with me was no different.

Grace has had a soft spot in my heart since I read the first book in this series, fiery and feisty she's a red head with full on attitude but there's always been a vulnerability about her and Sin with me completely explains the reason for that. Brody is a hot rocker with his own issues.  With both Grace and Brody trying to protect their hearts and keep their secrets safe this is no easy romance. If like me you love a rocker you will love Sin with me 5 stars.

***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!

I loved this book!!  This is the third book in the Bad Habit’s series and it was an amazing read! I adored the progression of Grace and Brody’s relationship and how it changed since the very beginning. I couldn’t have been happier with the results.  I was obsessed with this story.

Grace never made a secret about the fact that she doesn’t do commitments (30 day rule was fascinating to me) and doesn’t believe in refraining from sex. However, once Brody determines it’s time to find redemption from past mistakes, he begins to make his intentions known and Grace finds herself falling for the lead guitarist and his relentless pursuits. As the story goes on and her personal struggles and fears are brought to light I understood the decisions she had made in her life and sympathized with her reasoning.

Grace and Brody’s banter was so much fun to read and I literally found myself laughing out loud with the banter which is always my favorite part of a story.  They both just clicked on so many levels and it was wonderful to see them grow together. I loved when Brody’s housekeeper Magda entered the picture and showed another quirky side to him.  The chemistry between the two main characters was intense, sweet and very very hot with  some serious steam. 

I enjoyed seeing the characters from the previous books and getting a look into some of the things going on in their lives. There is also a great epilogue that leads me to believe we may have another great series on the horizon and I for one cannot wait to read it.. Great job on this fantastic book..

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!

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.
