Description

Xander, a blonde god, heartbreakingly beautiful.

He owned my heart. Once my hero, my best friend, my lover. Now quite possibly my enemy. I thought I could vanish, disappear until I found the strength to move on, find the will to survive after he incited a war in which there could be no winner. But I should have known, should have foreseen…there was no hiding from Xander.

Sin, the devil incarnate, wickedly sexy.

He demanded my soul. Dominating as ever, Sin is relentless, but I refuse to relinquish control, vigilantly protecting the shattered remains of my heart in an effort to keep myself safe. Yet safety proves to be an illusion. A victim’s revenge escalates, the hunted now the hunter, forcing me back into a dangerous life I desperately wanted to escape and soon the killer isn’t the only one intent on drawing me out.

Torn between heaven and hell, I was powerless against them.

Both men are demanding a decision. An impossible, life-altering choice I’m too frightened to consider, heightening the tension until it explodes without warning. Blurring the lines between the two men, Xander strips me of my defenses, leaving me breathless and begging for more. As the killer’s horrific conspiracy develops, Sin is just as merciless, his wicked games intensifying. Driving me to my knees in a desire so all-consuming, I’m left drowning until one terrifying, soul-shattering moment in time changes everything.

"The stunning conclusion of Sin, Bella's, and Xander's epic romance! This is the pulse racing, temperature raising, heart melting and mind blowing conclusion to Sin, Bella and Xander's epic story. It just doesn't seem possible that things can get more dangerous, twisted and intense and yet they do.

I bought these books on Amazon because i couldn't wait to read them. Today I see they are on offer from NetGalley as a digital ARC so I'm happy to be able to leave feedback. Thank you NetGalley.

Book four. The final book. How will I go on? What will happen? Will they get married? Will they have babies? Four is not enough! I have truly enjoyed getting to know these characters. This final book was action packed and full of mystery! A must read!

Shameless is the final book in Katherine Hawthorne’s Sinful Surrender Quartet and leaves the reader feeling all questions have been answered and that closure has finally been dispensed. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t all smooth sailing as the story is laden with a rollercoaster of emotions, twists and turns, and for me, some instants where I was a little confused. But throughout it all, we watched the main characters navigate some tumultuous moments to reach their final outcome. I have certainly enjoyed this journey and will be looking for more from this author.

I love that despite Sin seeming more dominating in the relationship, and Xander obviously being bigger, Belle always has a choice. They ask her consent.
Great close to the series.

Final book in the Sinful Surrender Quartet. This has been a good series. After the last book, Alex and Xander have to work hard to earn back Belle's trust in them. Lots of action and we learn more about Alex and Xander's friendship.

Wow, Great series. Non-stop action with new twist around every corner. Never knew what was coming next. Almost sad that it’s over.

Was this review helpful?

As action-packed and suspenseful as the first three. Was surprised by many of the twists. Still steamy, but in a more loving and caring way than the first three books. A great conclusion with the promise of a future for Belle, Sin and Xander.

This is my first time of reading a book by this author and all i can say is wow and where have you been all my life. I couldn't put the book down. But this book has left me with more questions than answer like what happen to the USB olivia put i side Belles' bag? Is Pavlov really a bad guy? Where are the rest of the girls and are they really safe. Can't wait for more of your books.

Shameless by Katherine Hawthorne, the fourth and final book in the Sinful Surrender Quartet. I did enjoy the book and series but found this final book did drag at times. The characters were likable and the dialogue was good. I look forward to checking out more books by this author.

I slowly read the last book in this series because I didn’t want it to end. I had to do research on this author to see what else she has written. Really good book. I highly recommend this author and this series. They are worth reading!

Great ending to a stellar series

The romance between Sin, Xander and Belle has been almost as complicated as the series of crimes they have been involved in or investigating throughout these books. Just when you think they have everything wrapped up, something else happens. Of course, the crimes are involving human trafficking, and there are always more even if one is solved. But the the author was able to transition from one crime to another throughout the series and tie them all together very nicely.

At the start of this book, Belle had left both Xander and Sin because she couldn’t choose one of them and so she decided to choose neither. However each of them thought that she chose the other and were separately torturing themselves with the thought that she was with the other. It isn’t until something happens with Xander that they finally get together and figure out she left both of them.

Like the other three books, this one has a ton of action, mystery and suspense. Sin’s two brothers Rafe and Kade played big roles in this book. Cade is Belle’s “Knight”, so named because he first introduced himself as her “Knight in shining armor”. He has been watching over her throughout these books and helped her to get away with the promise not to tell where she was. But he watches her through cameras to check that she is alright. They don’t have any sort of romantic relationship but he is sort of like a big brother to here. Sin was unaware until the end of book 3, that his brother knew Belle or vice versa.

I really liked how this book flowed and I was really surprised at a few points. I love books that are unpredictable and keep you on your toes. I won’t spoil anything but I really liked how it ended and I hope the author Katherine Hawthorne’s next book is about Kade and has these characters in it also. Rafe is just as interesting as he is an FBI agent, so a book about him would be good also. Whatever her next book is about, I plan on reading it!

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Finally! The last part of the Sinful Surrender Quartet. What a ride! Katherine Hawthorne has done an outstanding job in creating yet another part full of suspense and plot twists. Just when I thought I knew who the bad guy was, the story changed direction and I was caught off guard by another suspect.
Of course, the steaming hot, melt your panties scenes with the big bad alpha males made other parts of my body also very happy. But the intense drama, the fear for the lives of Sin, Xander and Belle are awesome and keep you pushing to read on, well past midnight. And then there is the mysterious Knight. Who is he???
In this final part, the different parts of the puzzle will be revealed. And you will finally know whether Belle will chose for her Heaven or for her Hell. Five out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc. I will be looking out for more series of Katherine. Thank you for this wonderful series.

This is the fourth and final book in the series and I could not wait for the explosive ending!

The action still continues in this book and I have to say that this is an excellent series of books and you will not be disappointed, this is a series that has to be read in order, you can't just start part way though the series as if you do you will be missing out on a lot of content and the underlying themes that run through the series.

The characters are excellent and this one was the perfect ending for me.

I loved them all and cannot recommend them highly enough!

This is the completion of Belle, Xander, and Sins story. It’s best to read the first 3 to understand the dynamics behind the story. Belle is running from love. But not just 1 mans love but 2. She’s also being set up to die! Can Xander and Sin save her? The story tells all!

I read this book as an arc from NetGalley

I’m really glad I got to read the whole series. This was a tail spinning, romantic, and suspense filled book. From the get go you are curious about who she would choose or if she would walk away. I’m really glad that when it came down to it in the end she did what was best for her and not everyone else. Take a stand girl, after solving her parents murders she has to take down the town too. This author really knows how to keep you on your toes. She also write some very intense sex scenes that keeps you coming back for more.

I received this book for an honest review.

Just finished the last story in this four book series and it has been such an exciting, enjoyable read.

A thrilling, sexily erotic, story of love, danger and intrigue. Told in a very well written way, with a strong plot that never fails to entertain.

We want more please.

An author to watch out for!

I received a complimentary copy of Shameless from NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Belle's life could not be any more complicated! She has the drama of two beaus, the danger of hidden foes, and her own demons to expose. Sin and Xander are heads and tails of the same coin, but Belle is lady luck incarnate to have won both of their hearts. This novel may have been the best in the series...but it is so hard to choose! Reading this quartet has been a guilty pleasure for me for sure. Great series!!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

I enjoyed this book even though I had only read book #1 in the series previously. I knew I was missing some information but it didn't dim the story much for me. I do really like theses characters and their chemistry. The story is exciting and twists and turns in a delightful manner. The lovin is seriously hot 🔥

4.5 Stars Steamy, and Suspenseful!

This is the fourth book in the Sinful Surrender Quartet, and the conclusion of Xander, Sin, and Belle's story. This book continues the intense roller coaster ride, of secrets, lies, and betrayal, with twists, and turns right up to the end. The characters are very well written, they have an combustible chemistry, that explodes from the pages. This was an amazing read, this book was intense, suspenseful, mysterious, dramatic, gripping, passionate, emotional, and steamy! I highly recommend this book, and series. 4.5 Stars

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Book 2 of 3....I can't want to read book 3. This author has done an amazing job of keeping you reading. Great storyline, excellent characters.

I’m reviewing the trilogy together because i loved them so much i read them back to back without a break, and separating particular points between the three would be near impossible!

But the fact that i needed to read them so much I didn’t stop just goes to show how much I enjoyed these! So steamy they’re almost lava, these stories are twisty in all the right places, and the chemistry between the characters may just make your ebook self combust!

Great storyline that surprises the reader at various points, individual characters and gorgeously hot hot sex scenes, these were absolutely brilliant!

5 OFF THE CHART STARS for Shameless ( Sinful Surrender Quartet #4 )

ARC received from Netgalley & author in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed are my own & have not been influenced in any way.

This book is NOT a standalone & I highly recommend reading this series in the following order:

Sinful
Sensuous
Scandalous
& then this title Shameless ...

Without giving anything away I am so ecstatic that the author tied up every single loose end in Shameless. I also have to say this series are top read(s) for me of all time. It's a new to me genre M/F/M & to be honest with each book I was so hoping the author would not make the heroine ( Belle ) choose between Xander & Alex ( aka Sin = Alex Sinclair ) She did choose a relationship with both for love & their collective HEA.

Shameless does pick up the story line when Belle has returned from being kidnapped. It's just not possible for her to deal with everything that has happened - so rather than be forced to make a choice she flees & hides out for several months trying to come to terms with her life. I loved that Xander &
Sin give her some time to heal mentally & physically - then go after her. It's not until they do that Belle realizes they were never forcing her to choose between them & all they ask is that she comes back into their lives to see if they can make a relationship work between them.

There is so much going on in the plot of this series ... we finally learn who killed Belle's parents & Xander's father - also "why" they were killed ... Renee is still out there as well & becomes a threat to Belle ...

This book was one that I had to physically refrain from going to the end - I never do that but I was on edge reading this book. The entire series is so well written & Ms Hawthorne has you on the edge of your seat at times ...

You will come to love these characters & not want the books or series to end.

Highly recommend this book & author !!

5 STARS does not do this entire series justice.

A love triangle filled with mystery and intrigue that is absolutely addictive. You’ll never want to put it down since you are absolutely desperate to find out what happens next. So excited to read the second part of this series.
