Title: Sins & Mistrust (Escort Series #3)
Author: Isabel Lucero
Release Date: October 5, 2014

Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon CA | Amazon AU | B&N

Marc Edwards is a male escort in Sin City. He’s used to being into whatever his clients are into, and doing everything they fantasize about. He’s also used to keeping parts of himself from the people closest to him, and denying himself what he truly wants.

He gains a client who’s unlike any other client he’s had. Nathalia LaBelle actually tries to get to know non-escort Marc. She wants to find out what it is he fantasizes about, and isn’t bothered by the nature of his job.

Has Marc found someone to open up to? Will Nathalia be able to handle what he desires? What he craves? Lines begin to blur, and Marc struggles knowing a relationship with a client is something that can’t happen.

But what happens when Lincoln Cash, a man who has his own special relationship with Nathalia, comes into the picture with his own desires, rules, and sinful requests? Will they be able to get on the same page, or will mistrust run rampant and ruin everybody’s chances at getting what they want?

Author’s Note:
This novel contains M/M, M/F/M, M/F, M/M/F scenes. If any of those kinds of sex scenes bother you, I wouldn’t suggest reading this one. This novel also contains explicit language, and some mild sadomasochism. Nothing too extreme, just kinky. Meant for readers over 18.

Author’s Note Pt. 2
While this is book three in The Escort Series, it can be read as a standalone. There is no need to read Living in Sin and Unforgivable Sin first, as this one starts in the time that Living in Sin did, and then follows through the series without giving much away about the first two. You may get some information regarding the other stories, but not much. Marc was scarce in those books, and we now get to see what he was up to.

“How are you, Lincoln?”
“I’m well. How have you been?”
“I’ve been good, just a little busy.”
“Well, let me take you out to dinner tonight.”
“I have plans tonight, Lincoln. I’m sorry.”
“Oh, well, how about tomorrow night?” he asks, unperturbed.
“I also have plans for tomorrow night.”
“Hmm,” he grunts. “Is this new guy the one taking up all of your time?”
“I’m not really sure why that’s any of your business.”
“You know why.”
“Lincoln, we’ve discussed this before. Any reason why we aren’t anything is because of you.”
“But that could be changing now, don’t you think?”
“I don’t know yet.”
“Nathalia, you know I want you, and I know you want me too.”
“We’ve tried.” I rub my hand across my forehead.
“We only tried once and it didn’t work out because we didn’t agree on…”
“I know why it didn’t work!” I snap, cutting him off.
“I think we can both agree now, though.”
I can almost hear him smile through the phone.
“I think we both know it takes more than just us to agree.”
“I do,” he states firmly.
There’s a brief moment of silence as we both wait for the other to say something.
“I have to go, Lincoln.”
“I expect to hear from you later.”
“Don’t expect to hear what you want to hear.”
His deep laugh rumbles through the phone. “Oh, Nathalia. I always hear what I want to hear. Sometimes it just takes longer than I’d like it to. This will work, my darling. Just you wait and see. When it does happen, both of our fantasies will become reality. Isn’t that what you want?”
I take a deep breath and blow it out loudly. “You know it is.”
“Good. I’ll speak to you soon. Enjoy your evening.”
He hangs up before I can respond.

Isabel Lucero is the author of the romantic suspense novel The Secrets That We Keep and the bestselling books in The Escort Series. She was born in a small town in New Mexico and was lucky enough to escape and travel the world thanks to her husband’s career in the Air Force. She’s been married for eleven years to the love of her life and Jr. High School sweetheart. Together they have two of the best and most beautiful kids in the world.
Isabel’s love for reading is anything but new, she’s been reading since before she was a teenager. She started reading books by Mary Higgins Clark and James Patterson before being catapulted into the indie author world thanks to a little somebody named E.L. James.
She currently lives overseas and is working on a couple new stories to share with you. Book three in The Escort Series is coming soon. Isabel loves connecting with her readers and fans of books in general. You can find her on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. 

I have been so lucky to have been able to support Isabel and read the Escort Series from the very beginning. What a start to the series we had with Living In Sin. Boom. The series became more explosive with the second book, Unforgivable Sin. POW! Now, we have Sins & Mistrust. I. Am. Speechless.

This book is proof that we need to support our indie writers. The series is just getting better and better and the third in this series is just outstanding. The end of Unforgivable Sin left me wondering, speculating and guessing what could be behind Marc’s disappearances and what was the reason for the three bottles of Gatorade and WHERE THE LIPSTICK CAME FROM?!

It is no secret that Marc’s story is not your straightforward coupled up relationship. The dynamic between Marc, Thalia and Lincoln is heartwarming to see. In the “book world” where it is predominantly M/F it is refreshing to see authors shake it up. I’m by no means well read in M/M, M/F/M, or M/M/F books but I have read more and more in recent months than I ever have and find that I enjoy them. This. This book? I LOVED.

CAN SOMEONE SAY HOT?

As anyone who has read Isabel’s Escort books you know they’re hot, this one – off the scale, off the chart and off the planet. Be warned. Hot.

Now, the story? Yes, there is a story! Like I said, we were left guessing at the end of Unforgivable Sin as to what was happening and the fact that Sins & Mistrust went back in time to the beginning of the series meant we were in for a humdinger of a story spanning the length of two books. Goody!

The links to the series to date were spot on; it didn’t, in any way, feel like a repeat of what we’ve already read. I love the relationship the three characters have. I felt for Marc and completely understood his predicaments, doubts and fears. The way the chapters alternate the POVs was very clever and worked so brilliantly. I really felt a part of their story and therefore became very invested in their relationship. Even now writing this, almost 24 hours after finishing, my heart warms at their story and the fuzzies (and tingles!!) still remain.

To summarise: book – amazing; story – outstanding; sex scenes – HOT; Isabel – awesome! You will want to stay up all night to finish this book. I finished at 2am!!
