Synopsis:

Sin, Part 1: Overview

My name is Morgan Sinclare. My father is a United States Senator. He’s kept me locked away for most of my life in private all-girl schools, in our home. But I just heard what he has planned for me. He’s sold my hand to the highest bidder. I’m supposed to marry one of his friends, someone twice my age. I’m biding my time, acting like the giddy bride-to-be, like the dutiful daughter.

We are to elope as soon as possible to seal the deal. I acted devastated that I wouldn’t get my dream wedding, so they’re letting me choose the honeymoon location. I’ve always heard that Las Vegas is a magical place. And I think it’s time I disappear....

Sin, Part 2: Overview

My brief life as Morgan Fairbanks was a catastrophe. I was able to escape my father and Johnathon, the man he’d sold my hand to, but couldn’t escape my own stupidity. I had my first photography job and then my second. Both were successful. I was living on my own for the first time in my life. Sure, it was out of a crappy hotel, but that was temporary.

But then Shane Justice just had to walk his sexy ass into my life. I let my guard down as the shot glasses piled up. The next thing I knew, Morgan Fairbanks was gone. God rest her non-existent soul. Shane and I had gotten trashed, married and had stepped into a dangerous pile of crap in one foolish, forgotten night. My name is now Morgan Justice. I need an annulment stat! As much as I hate the name Sinclare, it’s mine. And I want it back.

Sin, Part 3: Overview

If there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s that being a puppet sucks. For most of my life, it was my father who worked the strings. I thought that the strings had finally been severed, that by running away I had finally assumed control of my life. I was wrong.

Maybe control is an illusion. Because since I’ve met Shane Justice, I’ve lost control of my mind. Hell, I’ve lost control of my own body at times. And I’ve learned that those strings are still there. They are being worked by the hand of a man I’ve never met. By all accounts, my puppet master is dangerous. But there is one thing he doesn’t know: I’m still desperate to sever those strings, desperate to get away. And desperation can make people do crazy things.

Sin, Part 4: Overview

The last weeks have been some of the most amazing and most tumultuous of my life. But I have a feeling that the most turbulent hours are those that are rushing toward me. It’s almost fight night.

Shane says he’ll keep me safe, and that he’ll make sure all bases are covered. I want to believe him. The feeling deep in my bones, the one that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end is here. And it disagrees with every confident word he speaks.

I can’t distract him with my worries. I have to be strong and reach deep within for some sort of strength. I have to trust Shane Justice with my life, and my heart.

Sin, Part 5: Overview

Sometimes you can see when your world crashes down around you. You realize the magnitude of the event as it’s unfolding. Other times, it isn’t until you see things clearly, in hindsight, that the ugly truth reveals itself. My world imploded. I watched it happen, took part in the events.
       But the truth is that I didn’t realize how much devastation would result from the events that shook me. I didn’t realize that my world touched so many others, that the cataclysm would spread and infect those as well.

My name is Morgan. I’m totally over last names, just like I’m over Las Vegas and love.

Book Review - Straight from the Heart by Breigh Forstner

I read a published version of this ebook on August 14, 2014

Bryn Schaefler didn’t like living under the pressure her rich parents placed on her so she left home after graduating high school. She had no where to go and her two best friends took off for California to try their hand at modeling. Bryn, her suitcase and guitar set off for a restaurant downtown, where she happens to be friends with the owner. Lucky for Bryn, the owner just happens to have an available loft right next to the restaurant that Bryn can use free of charge. She could also work at the restaurant for extra money. 

The owner tells Bryn about an audition for a band and she goes running over there with her guitar. Bryn’s luck continues as she plays phenomenally, looks beautiful, attracts the attention of the lead singer and gets accepted into the band (who will be touring very soon).

Bryn gets thrust into the touring rock star life and gets to have romantic interludes with not one, but two very hot guys from two different bands. Bryn has to grow up this summer, work hard on her music and choose the right guy for her.

This book has the potential to be a great read. As of August 14, the novel reads as a rough draft that has not been edited. It is filled with many grammatical errors, missing words, misspellings, plot and character inconsistencies and plot points that do not make sense.

The main character, Bryn, was difficult to connect with because her view points kept changing throughout the book. She was all over the place and I couldn’t figure out many of her actions and why she kept reacting to similar situations in different ways. I found her to be very shallow, a romantic tease, kind of slutty and unrealistic.

Cale (the last love interest), was also all over the place with his feelings, actions and romanticism. He also had a nasty tempter that would flare up at odd and inappropriate times.

Damon (the semi-love interest) was the best character in the novel because he was the most consistent; his actions were true to his character and he seemed to have more depth to him than Cale or Bryn.

I felt that the end of the book did not work. The dramatic reveal felt out of place and wrong. I would have liked to have seen more action/dialogue in the end and the cliffhanger moved out a bit – it was just too rushed and farfetched. 

I was given free copy of the book for my honest review. Per the copy I was given to read, I give Straight from the Heart 2.5 paws.

If a corrected version is available, I would be happy to reread that copy and change my review accordingly.
