Blurb:
Izzy White knows of the darkness in this world. After all, she escaped it long ago. Determined not to let her past beat her, Izzy has a secure, stable life with a job she loves in nursing. But one act of kindness will completely upend everything she's so carefully built-putting her right back in the crosshairs of danger she's been so desperate to avoid.
When Theo Kane shows up like a knight in shining armor, Izzy can't help thinking she's been saved from one threat and exposed to another. His imposing physique, the harsh lines of his face, and the wariness of everyone who comes close are just a few clues to Theo Kane's notorious reputation. The man is positively terrifying. But with Izzy, he's tender and a complete gentleman, and her fascination with the mysterious beast of a man becomes too powerful for her to walk away.
As Theo's demons come to light, running becomes even more impossible. And yet staying together could doom them both.
You can't control who you fall in love with, you simply falling or sometimes for those exact reasons is why you fall for one person but not the other - this is my conclusion to that book and I think those exact words perfectly describe Gentleman Sinner.
It was beautiful story, full of passion and pure love but entwined between terrible past of main characters.
From the very beginning this story kept me on the mysterious edge. There is a lot of secrets in the plot and all
of that pushed my curiosity further into the book.
Whole story was written from Izzy's POV so
we could find out her thoughts and feelings. That's why Theo Kane was even more
mysterious man for the me.
Izzy has planned her whole life already.
After she buried her terrible past, her job become her sanctuary and for many
years she didn't allow anyone come near her or her heart. She lost her parents
at young age and has had only one best friend Jess in her life.
I was under huge impression when I first
read about Theo Kane. From the outside he was giant and masculine, melting
pants man. So intimidating, dark and dangerous alfa male with "glow"
of power surrounding him. Author described him so perfectly that I almost felt
like I was standing in front of him. That all awaken my imagination and
emotions to the highest level. But as I flipped pages of the book I've learned
that he was also mysterious and broken hero with shocking issue.
Was he a Saint or a Sinner?
From the moment Izzy and Theo have met sparks went through out of them. They both were under the spell for each other. His demeanor screamed power and fear but for the first time in ages, only with him she felt safe. For a long time she try to controlled her emotions and finally she can be free from her depest fears. Even though Izzy wanted Theo so badly on the other hand she didn't wanted to go back to the dangerous world he represented.
This was a complicated story about hard
love where two people hurt by events in the past, wanted to be together but
both of them were unable to reveal their dark past to each other.
I love Jodi Ellen Malpas books and I love this one as well. Her characters always surprise me with their original history. Every Alfa hero has something unique and is not easy to love but every time I fell in love with him anyway.
Whole backgound and second characters are great in this story and I want more of them. Especially Jess and Callum ’cause they were like fire through the storm and make me laugh so hard when they were bantering together. There was also so strong chemistry between those two that I hope Jodi will create their separate story as well.
