Sin (Salvation Series Book 1) by Remi Varlow

Can Cassidy and Sin wait until the danger passes before falling to the attraction they have had for years? When Sin's preacher father orders his stepbrother home Sin must do everything he can to protect Cassidy while trying to stay away from possible temptation.


From the blurb:

Sin

My preacher father named me Sin because he claimed I was born bad.

He must be right. There's not a rule I won't break. A line I won't cross. A person I won't hurt to make him pay for what he did to my mother.

Until My father remarries and Cassidy comes into my life. He's beautiful. He's good. He's innocent. All I want is to protect him from everyone else but me.

Despite how wrong it is I want to be the one to teach Cassidy, how to sin.


SNik's review:

First in series (Salvation). Stepbrothers. Slow burn. Dual POV. Heed content warnings. 

Cassidy is on the path to medical school when he is ordered home by his stepfather, a zealous wealthy preacher, which brings Cassidy back into his stepbrother’s orbit who he has secretly had a crush on since they met. Sin has tried to protect Cassidy by keeping him far away from home, but now he has to try to stay distant while he enacts plans to bring down his father which ends up being impossible when his attraction to Cassidy is so strong. 

There is a darker underlying tone to this story as Sin’s father is a true villain, but we are able to root for Sin to get his revenge and protect Cassidy at the same time. I’m not a big fan when a character is mean to the other in order to push them away but we do get to see glimpses of how important Cassidy is to Sin along the way until they get to the point where they can be together. My favorite parts of the story are when we see how intelligent Cassidy is and how he matures to be an equal partner to Sin, and once they are together the spice and spoiling sweetness were fun.
