Love the Deadly Sins! All the books so far have been great. Mistaken identity leads to a great romance . I love Alyss and her love for her cousin, though I don’t think the cousin deserves it. Alyss and her parasol, what fun. Great interaction with the H & h and also the secondary characters. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.

The fourth story in the Five Deadly Sins, former soldier, and mercenary Malcolm Sinclair ends up kidnapping Miss Alyss Brooks instead of her cousin. A fun well written story that kept me turning pages. I enjoyed seeing these two with the ups and downs they went through get a happy ending

Kathleen Ayers is a master of romance, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I might be a little bias since the MMC name is Malcolm and that's my boys name!!! This was such a fun read with some. passion and banter, I would recommend this book on my socials and friends!

Dare I say, this might be my favourite of the series? I wasn’t sure what to expect from Malcolm as we haven’t seen him before but I really liked him. He was removed from society with his time as a solider/ mercenary and the plot matched him. I loved the idea of a kidnapping gone wrong - forced into the job of kidnapping a women for the awful Buckmore, Malcolm steals the wrong women. The women he steals, Alyss, is sour and must always be right. I thoroughly enjoyed their dynamic and how their bounced off one another.
Alyss’ stubbornness was entertaining and though it didnt always serve her well and she had to learn to let herself be wrong, I loved her how confident she was.

You could really feel the connection between these two and I was invested in their relationship from the beginning. Their time together was full of banter and tension and it came together beautifully. I liked the conflict that arose and how they overcame it. The side characters really showed up at the end and I loved seeing Malcolm reunite with his family! Overall I enjoyed every minute of this story and couldn’t put it down once I started.
It had definitely become a favourite of mine from Kathleen!

Thank you to the author for an eARC copy. All thoughts are my own.

First off I have loved this entire series and I want to say that for some reason I really liked Malcolm in particular. I am not the reviewer that gives away anything so I will not be doing that, but I will say do yourself a favor pick up the series, start from book one and work your way through the series. It gets better and better with each book. ☺️

Malcom Sinclair needs a way to return to his family in England, after spending many years on the Continent and robbed of all his money. Only in desperation would he make a deal from a man he despised and didn't respect. Kidnap a young lady so the baron can force a marriage, except Malcom kidnaps the wrong lady, or the right lady for Malcom. Misunderstandings when a lady always has to be right, keeps them apart, unless love finds a way. A very steamy, explicit romance with a match made in a kidnapping.

I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book from NetGalley.

Malcolm returns! The missing Sinclair brother returns to England after a military and mercenary career. News of his family’s change in fortunes has not reached him, and he takes one last sketchy job in order to get back to England in time for his youngest sister’s debut.

(You should probably start at the beginning of the series, as some of the details about the Sinclairs are explained in the first three books. They aren’t terribly long, and they’re all good.)

Malcolm agrees to abduct a young lady for an acquaintance. Lord Buckmore is determined to marry Miss Elizabeth Brooks, heiress, to restore his coffers. He has blown through his own funds and needs a top up. Elizabeth has a cousin, Alyss, who is equally determined not to let her fall victim to Buckmore.

Malcolm is *supposed* to snatch Elizabeth so Buckmore can compromise her and force her into marriage. Buckmore isn’t terribly bright, and fails to describe her well enough for Malcolm to be sure he’s snatching the right lady. Of course he gets Alyss. And they have some misadventures.

Malcolm’s path back to his family, as you can probably tell, is complicated. He and Alyss have a bit of baggage, they’re both stubborn, and their HEA seems doomed to fail.

All of this happens in a short book, just like the previous three installments in the series. This series has fun, well developed stories and interesting characters in easy to read packages. I recommend all of the books, and you really should start at the beginning. The books are not clean, so if you prefer clean romance, please don’t read them. They are not OTT, however.

There was a desperation to their joining, a violent battle of wills, each unable to relinquish control to the other. Restraint, what little either of them possessed, had long since fled. “Alyss,” he growled next to her ear, sucking in the lobe, and drawing his teeth over the edge. He kept his fingers tangled in her hair, pulling at the moonlit strands, bending her body to his will. Slowing his movements, he twisted his hips, catching at the place they were joined.

A low moan came from her lips. “More, vile kidnapper.”

Lawd…after reading Sinfully Yours, I know I can’t be the only one planning her own kidnapping now can I? My ad would go something like …ISO someone incredibly handsome, strong enough to toss all this goodness ova his shoulder and knows his way around the kitchen of a small remote cottage. Rogue should be prepared to cater to my needs and handle all sort of “weapons and tools”...Y’all, Malcolm Sinclair is just the vile scoundrel for the job. This dangerous man personifies sin in the most seductive manner, marking him as the most tempting of the five deadly "Sin"clairs.

Sinfully Yours is an absolute blast! You've got a revenge-driven Mary Poppins type spinster duking it out with rogues trying to charm her naive protégé. The dynamic between the two main characters is electric. They're either in a heated battle of wills or wrestling with the temptation to... well, you know...The banter is sharp and fiery, dripping with sarcasm. And the chemistry? It's like a powder keg ready to blow!

Malcolm Sinclair, ex-soldier and current mercenary, lands in hot water and needs to return to England. He quickly strikes a deal with Lord Bukmore for a free ride back to London – all he has to do is kidnap Buckmore’s desired bride from her distasteful spinster of a cousin. The plot thickens when Malcolm snatches the wrong Miss Brooks—Alyss, a parasol-wielding, sharp-tongued woman with zero love for Buckmore. Mistaken identity turns Alyss's confrontation plan on its head, leaving her stranded, robbed, and dripping wet, with her kidnapper, Sinclair, unexpectedly becoming her only ticket out of the mess. Talk about a kidnapping gone off script!

Malcolm and Alyss are a sheer joy together. Although Sinfully Yours stands alone beautifully, diving into the rest of the Five Deadly Sins series will only enhance your experience. Don't miss out on the temptation of "Sinfully Yours", it's a guaranteed delight.

Wow, I loved this book! Malcolm and Alyss are a hoot! The Sinclairs have been wonderful to read about and this novel was no exception. From one abduction to another, the fun never stops. Elizabeth proves to be much smarter than she seemed at first and her beau, Mr. Rawlings is a far better choice than the detestable Buckmore! I hope that Aurora gets a book of her own as well and this is not the last we read about the Sinclair family! Although I received an ARC, my opinions are my own.

One more deadly sin vanquished. Malcolm a soldier is trying to return home only to be robbed of all his money. He undertakes one last assignment from villainous Lord Buckmore, kidnap a young lady in return for a trip home.

Except everything goes wrong. A long in the tooth, know it all cousin, Alyss, gets kidnapped instead and the only one to help will be Malcolm. Sparks fly, emotions are at stake, but one Ms. Right is ruined.

Malcolm's return home is full of surprises. His destitute family is very well off now and his siblings have all settled into marriages of ❤️.

Will he be able to convince stubborn Ms. Alyss to let her guard down and allow someone in to give her a hea?
Typical Ayers style (she's one of my favorites), lots of angst, turmoil, emotional depth.

Such a good read! Returning mercenary warrior Captain Malcolm Sinclair the handsome though overgrown with hair and penniless traveler is in Calais when he has to accept a nefarious task from a disreputable Lord Buckmore who wants him to kidnap Elizabeth Brooks so that he can wed the heiress against her family's wishes. Malcolm receives his fare to England and duly kidnaps on Hyde Park the heiress only to learn that she is Alyss Brooks and not Elizabeth. Though Alyss is 30 and a virgin spinster Malcolm is very attracted to her directness as we

My favorite Deadly Sin so far!
Malcolm Sinclair finds himself needing to leave immediately but having all his funds stolen leads him to accept an offer to “kidnap” a willing young lady to expedite a betrothal for an unscrupulous Lord. He absconds with the wrong Lady and is confronted with much more than he bargained for…. Alyss is determined to keep her cousin from making the mistake of marrying the wrong person and finds herself caught up in the plot. Wanting to use the situation to her advantage to stop the marriage once and for all however she ends up dangerously close to ruin…..
I adored Malcolm’s story! Alyss is witty, spirited and fun, the chemistry between the two and steam are off the charts! Malcolm is a scoundrel who sizzles!!!
A definite must read, and the sexiest Deadly Sin yet!

This is my second Kathleen Ayers book (the first was Enticing the Earl) and like the first I love it!

Sheer unadulterated fun and smut. Lovely, long drawn out interaction with the MC and the dude. Good smut, great tension. This is what regency romance should be.

Thank you NetGalley and Dragonblade Publishing for the chance to read and review this book!

Sinfully Yours by Kathleen Ayers is another in the series: The Five Deadly Sins. Malcolm Sinclair had been asked to leave the army. One too many fights. But having been robbed there was no way for Sinclair to get back to England except to accept the offer made him by Lord Buckmore: passage to England and gold when the abduction was complete. The abduction was Miss Elizabeth Brooks, more of a rescue, really. They wanted to marry, but her loathsome cousin, Miss Alyss Brooks guarded her with ferocity. He would find her a willing abductee. So Sinclair reluctantly agreed. Given that Buckmore’s feelings for the woman played into his description, Sinclair took the wrong, woman, Buckmore having described her to be a beauty. The one he took was a beauty: Miss Alyss. One the journey to meet Buckmore, Miss Alyss figured it out, Sinclair didn’t until he delivered her. At that point, Buckmore refused payment as well as the promised horse and left them and found he himself stranded with a very angry Miss Alyss Brooks.

Malcolm was a good character, written by a master. His family and he had led a hard life. He had no way of knowing their fortune’s had reversed. They were still outcasts from the ton, but what matter? Elizabeth was a simpering young miss, but she was an heiress and did finally show some gumption near the end. Alyss had a sharp tongue and an even sharper wit and Sinclair was enthralled. The ton loved a scandal and so when Buckmore returned to London with a story to tell, they were all ears. It was a cleverly written book, full of twists and turns. Sinclair’s family had all had interesting stories, so why not join them? Thanks Kathleen Ayers for an entertaining novel!

I was invited to read Sinfully Yours by Dragonblade. All thoughts and opinions are mine. #Netgalley #Dragonblade #KathleenAyers #SinfullyYours

A case of mistaken identity
Being in need to leave France speedily and divested of his gold, Malcolm is forced to agree to the unsavoury abduction of a young lady for Lord Buckmore. Buckmore is counting on a speedy betrothal after the young lady has been in his company for a few days. She is chaperoned by a supposedly ugly relative.
No sooner said than done, but Malcolm soon realises that he has abducted the wrong person. Alyss decides to maintain the ruse to confront Buckmore. She is known for her scathing tongue and her ability to cause bodily harm with a parasol.
However, she underestimates the gossip and the scandal caused by her rash action.

Sinfully Unexpected

Alyss was protecting her cousin from fortune hunters. Her parasol was always handy. She had no idea she would be mistaken for her cousin and kidnapped.

Malcolm was not happy about his assignment, but it was his ticket out of France to escape a wrongful accusation. He was also informed the lady would be willing. He did not count on kidnapping the wrong woman.

The kidnapping would lead to adventure, treachery, and unexpected love. However, Malcolm did not share he was an earl’s brother, and Alyss did not think a mercenary would be appropriate husband material. As the two went their separate ways, surprises awaited them, and they included treachery from the man who orchestrated the kidnapping of Alyss’s cousin. The two would have quite a few challenges to overcome. Would love emerge victorious? I loved this story and would recommend it to those who enjoy historical romantic adventures.

What a great story from the first chapter. Malcolm Sinclair finally gets his story and his match. In order to leave France, Malcom makes a deal with an English Lord, Buckmore, to abduct the woman he wants to marry and bring her to Buckmore’s cottage home. But things go wrong, and Malcom takes the wrong Brooks girl. The cousin not the daughter. Oh boy is there going to be trouble now. Not only with Buckmore, but with Miss Alyss Brooks as well. She’s not to happy about being taken, but when she realizes, they are going to Buckmore’s cottage, she changes her mind as Buckmore is the last man on earth that will be marrying her cousin if she has any say in the matter.

Alyss was a very stubbon and opinionated woman who had no friends in London and who men stayed as far away from as possible. So why is Malcolm attracted to her and what is she going to do about it. Malcolm can’t believe his luck when he takes Alyss by mistake. But as he spends time with her in the carriage ride, he comes to realize that there is more to this little Pixie than most people see. He’s instantly attracted to her and doesn’t know what to do about it. They have some obstacles ahead of them when they return to London, but can Malcolm convince Alyss to take a chance on them or will she go off with another man?

I enjoyed the banter between the two of them and the steam level was off the charts when they got together. Oh, and don’t forget about the new weapon of choice: a parasol. Very enjoyable story that I would recommend.

Sinfully Yours. My fellow readers, please forgive me, but I have to share this review with other readers out there. How dare you try to persuade me from sharing my thoughts and views regarding such a beautiful and loving story. A story about two souls who are totally committed to seeing their families happiest of dreams come true. If it should so happen that these two lovely people come together on a night by no choice of their own.
Well I am going to shout to the rafters of how our male main character, Malcolm’s takes pleasure in making the beautiful Alyss scream and shout his name all night. Read the book. You may find it an irresistible read, just as I have. My reviews are here for a little fun and casual girl talk over some spectacular writing from our favorite authors. It just so happens that I have many.
So hear me roar about Sinfully Yours. I was was absolutely thrilled about the main couple. And I definitely loved the creativity surrounding the writing behind the many amazing scenes. There are a few aspects of the story that makes the growing romance between Malcom and Alyss, all the more real. In the meantime though, Malcom took a lot of lumps along the way.
I feel that the author checked off every trope that I looked for in the story. My fellow readers and writers understand, and know how I feel about the really good tropes added to a romance novel. So, when the writer added certain tropes to this love story, I couldn’t resist sharing them with you. My favorite moments of the story, are when Malcolm and Alyss challenge one another over the simplest of issues. I think this was a game of four play.
To see how far one can push the other. Perhaps to see who would take that first leap. The leap of what you ask? It’s not my secret to share. You will need to read the book.
Now, as I said before. Introducing the parasol into the story as Alyss’s side kick was a whacking of a good time. I could hear the thump of the parasol every time that it was used. Having the parasol take center stage during a few intense situations enhanced the funny and often times comedic moments. Can you hear that? It’s the resounding desire of Malcolm’s heart, pounding for the little minx with that annoying bow, that sits right there perfectly on Alyss’s shoulder.
It’s that same spot, that Malcolm wishes claim as his own by one erotic lick of his tongue. Mm-hm. I said it. You see. Certain readers like me love reading about all the carnal desires and wishes of our characters in historical romance novels.
It allows us to fantasize and get away for awhile. The readers like me call that getting lost in a book. There are some who love, the mystery, the romance, family drama, scandal, duty and honor. These and there are others that I could state too, that speaks to us the readers. And when we come across said good book, such as Sinnfully Yours, we might just like to share a review about it.
So, with an opened mind this is what I really thought about Malcom and Alyss’s stolen moments. I’m keeping it real readers. As Malcolm’s index finger glides down Alyss’s luminous, glowing skin. That simple touch ignites the explosive proximity of carnal desires for the two. I don’t know about you, but I will always love a good tup scene in a book.
Possibly even more than one good tup scene. Ladies, the delectable Malcom is one male character that I wouldn’t mind being forced to share a cabin with on a stormy night. Sharing just one blanket is a terrible state to be in. Let’s be real ladies. That blanket is there just for an accessory display.
Now me, I could come up with a number of exciting ways to entertain the young Mr. Malcom Sinclair. My favorite game is hide and you go seek. Malcom’s character commanded many scenes that are very memorable for the readers. His ultimate goal is to make it back home to what he considers is hugely important to him. The scene between him and his siblings almost had me in tears.
I consider it one of the most profound moments in the story. I thought Alyss’s character exceedingly the most entertaining character in the book. The writer did an outstanding job with creating a female character, whose bold powers of persuasion, brings a man like Malcolm to his knees. This is a good book to lose sleep over.
I give this book two snaps and a, Huzzah! For an impressively written historical romance novel. Until next time my fellow readers. Read on!

I have loved getting to know the Sinlcair family in the first 3 books of The Five Deadly Sins Series by Kathleen Ayers. Book 4 brings us Malcolm Sinlcair, the twin brother of Andrew from Sinfully Mine, who we don’t know much about at this point in the series other than he is away at war.

Over the course of this series, I have come to expect that I would laugh out loud at each of Kathleen’s books although this one didn't bring as many laughs as the previous ones have it didn't stop my enjoyment when reading this book. These characters, Alyss and Malcolm both haven't had the easiest of times. He’s been to war and away for so long that he doesn't know of the change in his family's fortunes, so he has made his most recent living by taking on a few interesting jobs and is willing to do just about anything to get out of France. Alyss is an umbrella welding spinster who has assigned herself the job of protector over her beautiful cousin, Elizabeth.

A case of mistaken identity, a long carriage ride, a lovely cottage and an intense rain storm brings these two feisty characters into each other's orbit and the fun begins. Alyss and Malcom are both what I would call salty characters but their saltiness is engaging and I was excited to watch their story unfold. It’s amazing how only one night in a cabin can change a life.

Kathleen Ayers always finds a way to make you fall a little bit in love with her characters and this book was no different. Malcolm and Alyss are imperfect by themselves but together they make a match that is well worth the time to read.


I wrote 2 reviews as I am an Amazon Vine reviewer and I can't use the same review across sites, please see teh 2nd review I used for Amazon

The Sinclair family and their Five Deadly SIns are one of the most entertaining series that I have read in a while. I’m looking forward to but also hate that the last book will finish off the story of this family.

Malcolm is the Sinclair we know the last about as he has been in France for years so I was excited to see his story.

Malcolm and Alyss, the love interest in this story, aren’t the softest of characters but their feistiness is what I like the most about them. Who wouldn't fall in love with a spinster who uses her umbrella as a weapon and a solderer/mercenary who just wants to get out of France to be with his family after years away and is willing to do just about anything to make that happen.

As these two meet because of mistaken identity, we get to follow these two through one night that changes everything for both Malcolm and Alyss even though they don’t know it at the time. The path to true love is never easy but if it was we wouldn't get the story and I am so glad I did. I really liked this book, I am a big fan of Kathleen Ayers and this was was a little different for me, especially with this series as so far I have laughed out loud at the books, I didn't do that with this book but it didn't mean I like it less, I really enjoyed it and loved seeing the way Malcolm and Alyss find their way to be together. I highly recommend this book as well as the rest of this series… now to see what book 5 brings.

Malcolm Sinclair hasn't had much contact with his siblings since he became a soldier. Things are getting too dangerous on the continent for him, so it's time to go home. If only he could.

Alyss Brooks is happy being a spinster and keeping the fortune hunters away from her cousin.

This historical romance is part of a series, but each book can be read on its own. Each of the Sinclair siblings has faced down a lot of scandal. This brother, though, could bring real trouble. Our characters don't look for a sweet, normal life. They are much spicier types.

Great fun.
