I just don't even know what to say. I had to sit with this book for more than 48 hours after it was done, just to process it. So I feel compelled to leave a review; I'd give 6 stars if I could. What an incredible ride...like going on a scuba dive into deeper relational waters then you'd usually find. I'd put this novel within a hand full of books I've read in my lifetime that truly made me feel something. I genuinely laughed out loud and cried three-tissue-tears, from what she put together here. I'm grateful I read it and highly recommend to anyone who's looking at reviews to figure out if it's worth it. IMO -- YES!!!!! Don't even give it a second thought, purchase and dive in, you lucky reader.
The writing sparkles and rings true. The author (first time I'm reading her and ready for more. I have so many items notated, I wish I could sit and have a chat with her) is brave in her explorations, taking a more risky dive then you'd expect from the general romance genre. She gives just the right details to make you live the story, to draw you in, to have you share senses and thoughts right along with the main character's. I was fully transported, leaving my world behind effortlessly. It's also courageous because of the issues she's taking on board here: faith, God, belief, religion, grief, race, death, lust, personal boundaries and commitments, all packed inside a deliciously erotic story. Not many authors can slip those subjects into their romances with any lucidity or weight and keep it bouncy. But she did. She rocked it.
The entire story is told from his POV and her writing is so good, she's made it seems plausible that she even knows what it's like to touch yourself as a man, as well as that she's inside the skin of a female POC (being white, I'm not sure how it was handled, but impressed she even did it!)
If you give this book a chance it will make you think and feel and contemplate (and turn you on...the way he talks to her...will leave you wet in the panties).
It makes you wish there was a man in your life talking to you that way, doting on you that way. I love that she inserted a chapter that had only one sentence. I like the way her mind works.
The only complaint I'd make is that it's written as if there is no other woman in the entire world for him and no other shot at love, ever. It's fabulous stakes, but it's never really clear to me why it's so. As a highly successful, attractive, 36 yr old man, thoughtful, caring, who seems open to self reflection and reforming himself though he was on an unhappy path, why was this his only shot in a lifetime? But the lead female was compelling enough and his journey so wonderful...that it didn't matter. I routed for them so much and literally worried about if he'd get his happy ending. That's how utterly engaging it is. I was worried that nonexistent people might not be happy...omg. Her writing is that good--totally vested and swept up.
So, other than that...
I can not praise this book enough. It's a hymn-song to sex, to belief and being human.
I detest when reviews give spoilers and ruin a reader's experience. There seems to be plenty of that here, and I don't want to say anything about these types of details and rob you the joy of discovering it all for yourself. But the thing is, after two days with some kind of emotional hang-over from finishing it...for me, it ended up not really being about the character specifics, the story lines, or the sex...it was about what the book took on board and how thoughtful and generous and entertaining the writing was. I feel inspired. Every word was exactly where it was supposed to be, like she was laying down yummy pieces of trail mix for Hansel and Gretel to follow through a complex forest...taking me days to digest the feelings and thoughts evoked through the character's interactions. She rocked it. I don't understand why this book wasn't some of mega international best seller, it blew me away.

Zenny is a 21-year-old postulant and full of hope. Their story is messy, emotional, and absolutely captivating.While Sinner has its fair share of scorching heat (seriously, Simone knows how to deliver), it’s also a deeply reflective journey into desire, forgiveness, and belief vs. disbelief. Sean’s internal battle between his hedonistic lifestyle and Zenny’s unshakable faith adds complexity to their forbidden relationship, making it so much more than just a taboo romance.What I loved most was how Simone handles weighty themes like grief, faith, and purpose without losing the humor and heart of a great romance. There’s also a fantastic cast of secondary characters (sassy nuns, anyone?) and a villain you’ll love to hate.If you enjoy your romance with depth, humor, and plenty of spice, Sinner is a must-read. It’s an unforgettable love story that feels both scandalous and surprisingly heartfelt.
