Sinner's Creed was well written story about a member of an MC and the woman that he falls for. Having said that, I can also add that the book made me angry. I read stories labeled as "romance" for the escape from realism that they offer and the resulting reduction of everyday stress. This book takes tragedy and heartbreak and wraps it up in a pretty bow and calls it romance. If I want tragedy and heartbreak, I can find it in other sections of the bookstore, in the newspaper, or better yet, just by getting up in the morning and going to work. I don't know if I should blame the company who published and marketed the book or the author.
The story is about Dirk, a long-time member of the Sinner's Creed MC. Dirk believes that the things that he has seen and done killed his soul long ago and that he is destined for eternal damnation. After several brief chance encounters with Saylor, they finally get together and Dirk realizes that against all odds, he is in love. It isn't long, however, before tragedy strikes and Dirk finds that his happiness as well as his life will be short-lived.
Another aggravating aspect of the book is the preachy injection of religion that almost classifies this an inspirational story of love and redemption. Supposedly, Kim Jones tells this story from experience inside an MC, which just makes the way this story is told even harder to take.
This book has received much critical acclaim that I'm sure will keep the author writing for a long time to come, but personally, I will find it difficult to read another one of her stories.

This was the best and saddest book I have read this year. I cried through most of the book, and I was sobbing at the ending. Way to go Kim Jones. Powerful ( )
