Full book review:

I did enjoy this book but when I was reading it I kept thinking of Jesse and Ava.. There were a lot of similarities between books when it comes to the characters and their traits..

Anyhow, I liked it but I didn’t love it!

3.5 stars!

This is just four chapters of the book. It is as good as you would expect from this author. I would recommend buying this one as I will be. It hooks you that fast.

5 Stars for this excerpt from the Gentleman Sinner
ARC received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review…
Opinions expressed are my own 👍

Jodi Ellen Malpas is now an author added to my TBR author list - I’ve determine her awesomeness by just reading this excerpt of Gentleman Sinner which was just SO GOOD !!

Izzy is a nurse finishing her shift and on her way home ( walking no less -she takes a short cut that puts her in a not so great neighborhood) witnesses an attack & then she is also attacked … Theo comes out of nowhere to her rescue & their attraction is pretty immediate- you can feel the chemistry 🔥🔥 coming off the pages …

My local library happens to have the book so I can delve into their story that BTW I know I am going to ❤️❤️

Thank you Netgalley for helping me to find this author !!

Didn’t realise I had already read this. Really enjoyed it the first time and as soon as I’d read the first sentence it brought it all back to me. Great storyline and likeable characters. Although this version is only chapters 1-4.

I love Jodi Ellen Mapas’ books. She captures the anti-hero perfectly. So I was eagerly anticipating this novel.

I was disappointed to only get a preview, “or taste” of the novel but it definitely whet my appetite and I purchased the book as soon as it was released and it definitely did not disappoint.

I highly recommend but not for the faint of heart. Her heroine and heroes are not perfect and that is why I love them.

This is a steamy suspenseful stand alone romance. From the first page it had me turning the pages. I devoured the first four chapters and will be purchasing the book. This author has a way of creating heros that make you wish they were real. These first few chapters reel you in and make you feel so many emotions for these characters, can’t wait to read what happens next. Izzy and Theo are both survivers, they are each others light and darkness.
Thank you #netgalley

it was amazing


Jodi is a one click author for me. One that I will buy the book without hesitation because I know with every fibre in my body that the book will be amazing.

I fell in love with Theo immediately, if there's one thing this author can do it's create sexy alpha males to swoon over.

Izzy is a great character too, she's a strong capable woman that has been though a lot and is still strong and capable. 

I expected Izzy to have a much stronger and shocking back story than it was if I'm honest. It was mentioned a lot and eventually was explained but felt very played down. This doesn't stop the book from being a brilliant read though in my opinion, nor does it stop it from being a 5 star read.

This teaser was everything but only left me in more excited and intrigued

Jodi knows how to grip you from the very beginning and with this mysterious new alpha I couldn’t put it down !

Roll on the full Story !! 🤩

This is my first review but not my first book by Jodi Ellen Malpas. Jodi has done it again. This was only a preview but I know it will be great. I feel like some people probably look at her books and think they are all sex, but just reading these first chapters(where there is no sex) you would know they are not. The story pulls you in. You can feel the emotions and connections from her well written words. I think that is the only fault I have with a preview like this, it leaves you wanting more. Even in these 4 chapters, you are already pulling for them to get together. You know there will be issues and you keep turning the pages to find out about them and how they will play out. And you know this is a story about a couple but the other characters are woven in seamlessly and become integral to the story taking place. I am looking forward to reading the rest of Gentleman Sinner!

The beginning of this sample is intense! I don't know much about Izzy or Theo, but I can tell that I'm going to love them!

This review is for the first four Chapters of GENTLEMAN SINNER by Jodi Ellen Malpas (when I signed up to review this I did not realize it was just a tease of the book, boy was I disappointed when it showed up on my Kindle, but it was well worth it).

The first four chapters gives us a small glimpse into what is going to be an amazing book. This book is about Izzy and Theo (I love that name for a man it makes him sound either very distinguished or very dominate) and I think for this book Theo is going to an Alpha male all the way.

Izzy and Theo meet by chance in a dark alley when Izzy is trying to find the women that is calling for help, but when things take a turn for the worst in drops Theo, and in the four chapters that I got t0o read, he was there at every turn after that.

Four chapters was just enough to leave me wanting more of GENTLEMAN SINNER by Jodi Ellen Malpas and I cannot wait to read the rest of this book. I would give this four chapter tease 4/5 stars.

I was very taken in by the story, Izzy is quite fearless and yet seems to harbor a deep fear of something.....this was a very intriguing novella and I can't wait to read more

I'm a huge JEM fan and couldn't sign up fast enough for an arc of this book.

I want to start by saying that I absolutely adored Theo.
He had the possessiveness and trampling tendencies of Jesse Ward, the secrets like Miller Hart, the protectiveness of Jake Sharp and the gentle swooniness that was uniquely Theo.

I also loved how strong, independent and resilient Izzy was after her own secrets of her past.

The 2 together had the chemistry and rightness of the kind of couple we all love to read about.

What kept it from being a 5-star read like most of her books are for me was the lack of a slow-burn romance, the over the top way Theo pursued her and the lack of angst that a few points in the book could have expanded on to make our heart beat faster for them.

I will ALWAYS AUTOMATICALLY buy anything Jodi writes.
Heck, I even buy the audiobooks for "re-reads", but I don't think this one will have me re-reading immediately after finishing as I did with her This Man Trilogy.

I can't wait to read the full book now!!! This was my first taste of a Jodi Ellen Malpas book. I've heard great things about all of her books.

Okay, where to start...

First, I got a notice from her that the book was out. I took a look at the sample and scrambled over to NetGalley to read the first four chapters.

We leave them RIGHT as they are going to Vegas and of course I had to buy the book because I wanted to know what happened in Vegas. It's awesome and very fun.

Both of them have dark secrets which are revealed near the end. I was happy with how everything worked out. I liked that his mom was part of the ensemble cast.

Probably one of the more disappointing books of the year so far. Made it halfway through the book and still couldn't find myself attached to these characters whatsoever. I couldn't even tell you the plot of the book or why these characters were so attached to one another after knowing each other for two weeks.

<b>Gentleman Sinner</b> was a highly anticipated book. I loved Jodi's most recent duet and was looking forward to this book. Izzy is a nurse who comes upon a scene in which a woman is being attacked. From there on, Izzy's life turns upside down when she meets Theo Kane. He's predictably dark and alluring. He follows Izzy to Vegas (!!!!!) after she turns down his offer to have dinner. He's absolutely suffocating and I was exhausted for her. He also doesn't like to be touched a la Christian Grey. Which is never properly explained until there's about a few chapters left in the book.

There's so much that's wrong with this book that I can't even spoil. Books where a rich, dominating man swoops in are tiring. Especially in this day and age where there is so much visibility on the harassment women face in their personal and professional lives. He follows her to Vegas after she turns him down. He causes her to lose her job because he can't control his temper. <spoiler>He punches her in the face after she tries to console him</spoiler>. And despite it all, she still ends up with him.

Women shouldn't accept this behavior in real life or in their fictional lives.

5 Stars

Gentleman Sinner is the all new INCREDIBLE stand-alone novel by Jodi Ellen Malpas. I swear, Ms. Malpas brings her A-game with every book she writes, but with this story she knocks it out of the park!

Izzy is a shell of a woman. Sure she puts on a good front, but inside she’s broken. I absolutely loved her. Despite everything she went through at the end of the day all she wanted was to be loved. Can’t blame a girl right because isn’t that what we all want? To have that all encompassing type of love. When she meets Theo, she has no idea what’s in store for her...

“With love, happiness and peace should come naturally.”

Theo Kane...let me count the ways that I adore thee-
Hot AF ✔️
Alpha to the core ✔️
Heart pure as gold ✔️
Protects fiercely ✔️

I seriously could go on and on. Theo is damaged but not irreparable. He is such a strong character that literally had me falling for him from the get go.

“He has a magnetic pull, luring me closer, and I’m helpless to its power.”

I felt the same as Izzy. Theo lured me in, and I was unable to stop it. I didn’t want to stop it. The way he was with Izzy...GAHHH my heart exploded with all the feels.

Both Theo and Izzy are complex characters in their own way. I feel Ms. Malpas was able to dig deep into not only who they were but why they were. Her writing was impeccable with Gentleman Sinner. Both characters were everything I want in a hero and heroine. I laughed with them and I cried along with them. They were EVERYTHING.

I highly recommend reading this story! Hands down my favorite from JEM!

Gentleman Sinner can not come fast enough!!!! Theo Kane is so intense and enthralling, the chemistry will have your kindle smoking! I am a huge fan of Jodi Ellen Malpas’ past work especially This Man series! Theo reminds me a lot of “The Lord” just in his personality and his sexual chemistry. Izzy has been hurt in the past and is trying to guard her heart, body and soul when it comes to any man especially Theo Kane. I only received the first four chapters but I devoured them. I was completely consumed by this story and can’t wait to get my hands on the full version. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review after reading this arc.

I just finished the book and it was fantastic. I purchased my own copy. These are my thoughts on the book as a whole. Theo Kane is absolutely Swoon Worthy! I am such a fan of Jodi Malpas and her work! Gentlemen Sinner is a fantastic story about the Theo Kane who is one Hot strong and gentle giant of a Bad Boy and Izzy who is a sassy sweetheart of nurse. These two together have some explosive chemistry. I am in love with Theo and Izzy! I hope there is a second book with Callum and Jess.

Move over Jesse Ward, Theo Kane has come to town! I was grateful to be able to read the first 4 chapters of Gentleman Sinner and I'm excited to see how the story plays out.

OH MY GOD WHAT A TEASE! 4 chapters are not enough!
As I ran off to pre order the rest of Gentleman Sinner. JEM is a go to author for me so I had no doubt that this would hook me instantly and it did. She is the queen of writing these pushy, protective alpha men. I am in this for the rest of the book. I was intrigued and engrossed and then it ended. Izzy and Jess are about to embark on a holiday in Vegas, all the while Theo the "anti hero" is trying to woo Izzy or take her ... I can't decide.
I am waiting up until midnight for this to hit my kindle.
BRAVO!
