Sin with me explores the depths of human emotions from guilt, acceptance , love and ultimately forgiveness. It hits you right in the feels and you can't help but invest in the relationship alongside Grace & Brody. We get little glimpses as well of the Bad Habit crew and their significant others which was fantastic because their all a hoot and a half! Loved!

I did not finish this book so I didn't rate it with stars. I'm including the notes I took while reading.

I just recently discovered Ms. Geissinger and was an immediate fan after reading her Wicked Games books. I was so excited to dive into this book but am surprised by how different it is and the disparity in writing between the two.

Don’t like the over the top vulgarity of the girls…attempts at humor that fall flat.
The dialog is similar to that of high school kids.
‘…which sets my lady parts aquiver’
'...even if I do hate everyone else's spawn, I'm going to love Chloe and A.J.'s as if I produced it from my own vagina.'
'...at how efficient Chloe seems to be hatching new members of the human race'
‘Even my voice has a lady boner for this guy.’

Although can be read as a standalone, there are some major spoilers for what happened in previous books and a lot of missing history if you haven’t read them. The characters are a bit confusing at first as well.

Who is Kenji?

Ok, I'm new to this series, but I didn't have a hard time following along with the characters. However, I do want to go back and devour the previous books! I was sucked into Grace and Brody's world. I wanted to know why he was the way he was. Why he had such a hard time with his demons. We, the reader, knew more about Grace, but still had to find out more about her as the story went on. Brody was a little harder to read and gauge, but I wanted things to work out with them. He loved fiercely and with all he had. He was sweet, caring and compassionate even though his past was a dark piece of his life. This book definitely gave me the feels and I didn't want to put this book down! I was captivated by them and their story and I loved their friendship as well as their passion. They had a great core group of friends that supported them and loved them, too. It was an easy story to get lost in and I recommend this read!

I was totally surprised by this story! It had quite a few stunning moments! It also had a jaw dropper of a twist!

I thought that Grace was just a tough as nails kind of girl. I didn't suspect what had made her that way! She kept a man around for 30 days only. Yes,it made her look like a female Casanova! It made her look bad all the way around. But,her reasons were sound once revealed. This brings us to Brody! One weak moment,one night with him and she thinks long term. Not just the 30 days she usually dates someone. Brody had a secret of his own! One that could end his relationship with Grace for good!

This was a Great story! I Loved It!

4.5 stars-- SIN WITH ME is the third installment in J.T.Geissinger’s contemporary adult BAD HABIT erotic, romance series focusing in the member of the rock band Bad Habit. This is lead guitarist Brody Scott, and psychologist Grace Stanton’s story line. SIN WITH ME can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for backstory, history and cohesion as many events in the current time line build upon events of the previous books.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Grace and Brody) SIN WITH ME is an intense story of heartbreak, secrets, healing and moving forward. Years earlier, at the age of eighteen, Grace Stanton’s world exploded. A hit and run driver killed her parents, leaving our heroine with no memory of the past including her name, her parents and the events leading up to the crash. Fast forward to present day and Grace Stanton, a couple’s counselor, is a woman afraid to commit beyond the present. Enter lead guitarist for the rock band Bad Habit Brody Scott, and the man who will steal Grace’s heart, and destroy all semblance of peace and hope for out story line heroine.

SIN WITH ME follows the building relationship between Grace Stanton, and Brody Scott. Brody’s attraction to Grace is hindered by Grace’s inability to commit fearing the possibility compounded memory loss that includes the loss of everything she worked hard to attain. Brody sets out to seduce our story line heroine, coming to the rescue when Grace loses everything in her life. The $ex scenes are intimate and seductive. The back and forth banter between our leading couple is humorous and entertaining.

The secondary and supporting characters include Kat and Nico (Sweet as Sin #1), and Chloe and AJ (Make Me Sin #2), Kenji the ‘flamboyant’ friends, as well as security specialist Barney, keyboardist Ethan and bassist Chris. Barney is leaving the band to pursue a career with a high-level security outfit known as Metrix, and I am going to surmise a spin-off series in the future.

The world building looks at the growing family, friendship and relationships between the members of Bad Habit. There is a twist to the story line that I saw coming, early on although it did not affect my enjoyment of the story.

SIN WITH ME is an emotional, erotic, palpable, intense and fated story. Grace’s past comes full circle while Brody’s dark secrets will destroy any hope for a happily ever after. The premise is startling, powerful and dramatic; the romance is provocative and emotional; the characters are animated, colorful and tragic. SIN WITH ME is a moving, wondrous, and riveting story line.

Wow. This book pulled me in from the very start. It is the third in a series but can be read as a standalone. I haven't read the first two books (I'll be going back for those now) and could still follow the story just fine. This was a good, solid story about faith, redemption and love.

I know some people might find this heroine a bit off putting at first. She's not like any other heroine I've ever read-and I liked that. She's not looking for any type of commitment, never stays with a man more than 30 days and doesn't believe she has to be in a relationship to be happy. If Grace was a male character she could probably be described as a playboy-and I kind of liked that the author gave that role to a woman. It made her falling for Brody even more satisfying to me.

Brody...well I really enjoyed Brody. I liked his confidence, his innate swagger. He was determined to prove to Grace that he was worth more than a trial period in her life, that they could make something work between them. Did I mention he was sexy? Plus he's a musician-that just adds to his sexiness.

The chemistry between these two is palpable. You can feel it in every interaction. I thought my kindle would melt at some points-and it would have been totally worth it if it had. The sex between them was insanely hot and steamy and I loved every second of it.

What did kind of take me out of the story a bit was the religion bashing. I get not everyone is religious and everyone can practice whatever they want-I just feel the author was a bit harsh in regards to some views and that may turn some readers away.

I liked the plot of this book. There was just the right touch of angst here. I'm not usually one who is drawn to an angtsy book but I liked the angst here. It worked for the book. I thought the pacing flowed well and I didn't feel anything was glossed over or rushed. Again, while this is part of a series I read it as a standalone and followed along just fine. I would recommend this book and look forward to going back to read the others in this series.

I really loved and enjoyed this one. I think my favorite out of this series. Loved the characters and there chemistry together. Was hooked from the start! This series always leaves me wanting more. Cant wait for whats next!

J.T. Geissinger prevails with SIN WITH ME the third book in the Bad Habit series. After losing her memory and family, Grace Stanton, is apprehensive of relationships. Bad Habit’s lead guitarist, Brody Scott, hides a guilty secrete from his youth. Their chemistry is undeniable. Fate has interesting things in store for the couple. This contemporary Rockstar romance is suitable for adult audiences. It takes place in California.

Grace and Brody are a fun couple. I love how they are always quoting movie lines to each other, and that they call each other out on the verbatim of the words. I found it amusing, how they would playfully tell the other one things like they were ugly or had big uneven feet. I like that they are both adrenalin junkies. I love Brody’s church.

I found it appropriate that they both had scars from their past that caused nightmares and phobias. Fate played an interesting roll in this story. They both had a lot to deal with in this story and came out the better for it.

I savored that the characters from the previous books played an important part of this novel. Starting with the birth of Chloe and A.J.’s baby (from book two MAKE ME SIN). The characters in this novel are amazing friends who are like a family to each other.

I loved this story! It helped that I already liked the main characters from the previous books in the series, but we learn so much more about both Brody and Grace in SIN WITH ME. J.T. Geissinger does an incredible job with her character development and plot. She is a skilled writer who creates power stories. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Although I haven't read the other books of this series, this story can easily be read as a stand-alone and it was a story I really enjoyed, despite the fact that I disliked the heroine in the beginning. She was too provocative and dismissive of relationships, but once I learnt why she was that way, I really started to like Grace. The way this story started with what the hero is going through had me hooked to Brody's point-of-view. Why can't he forgive himself? What will it take to get the hero to forgive himself?

Both the main characters have intense back stories, and I could empathize with what they've been through in the past. Will being together make everything better, if they can open up to each other? Will Brody be able to convince Grace that they deserve a chance to be happy together, despite her reservations? Moreover, I could understand why Grace was hesitant to get involved with Brody because of her medical condition. However, I liked that she was strong and brave enough to give a relationship between them a chance. Since Brody is fun and they bring out the best in each other when they're teasing one another. While Brody, I liked how determined he was to win Grace over and wasn't afraid to push her to see that he isn't afraid that her medical condition could cause problems for their relationship if she happened to have a relapse. He was that confident that he'd find a way to win back her love no matter what.

Overall, this was a really good read where the sex scenes were smoking hot, showed that Brody wasn't afraid to push Grace's limits, and proved that the heroine doesn't always have to be in control. The way this story ended left me an emotional mess because of Brody's secret and how it affected Grace. Would she be able to forgive Brody and the secondary characters she thought she could trust? However, in saying that, I did like how things worked out between this couple, because Grace wasn't about to let the past ruin her future with Brody. None of what happened was his fault, since he did his best to make things right. Furthermore, the epilogue wrapped this story up perfectly, as readers discover how far Grace and Brody have come in their relationship and how he's not ever going to let her go. I would recommend Sin With Me by JT Geissinger, if you enjoy the friends to lovers trope or books by authors K. Bromberg, Vi Keeland, Cari Quinn or Meghan March.

Loved Brody and Grace!

J.T Geissinger did it again! I loved this book in the end. I say this because I didn't love it in the beginning or I didn't like the female character. She was so annoying and I hated her behavior and thinking process. But in a perfect J.T Geissinger style she made me love and understand this girl in the end. I'm not going to tell you why I'm saying this, you will have to read the book. The writing, as always, was perfect and the flow of the story was spot on. You should one click this one you won't be disappointed!

Grace and Brody picked right up where we left off in Make Me Sin and I have to admit I was on pins and needles throughout the whole book. I knew what was coming, but I just wasn't sure how it was going to come about. Turns out, I didn't completely guess it accurately from the clues in book 2. I love that this author was still able to surprise me.

I usually shy away from rocker books because of the potential of too much other woman drama. I am happy to say you won't have that in this series. It is on the high end of angst but the kind that keeps you on your toes and doesn't let you put the book down. I've really enjoyed this series and highly recommend it!

ARC provided by Netgalley.

These two had a strong sexual and emotional connection. Their lives were more entwined then even they knew. They have some hurdles to jump over before they can get their happy ending, but they do get one. The sex scenes between these two was hot. I enjoyed seeing old characters from the previous books and how their lives are going as well. Some of my questions I had about these two while I was reading the other two books were answered. This was a difficult book to put down. This story was a good read.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

The long-awaited (much) third installment in the Bad Habit series, Sin With Me shines as both a continuation and as its own entity. Grace and Brody, two characters with powerfully damaging pasts, come together with such force that the reverberations are impossible to measure. With in-your-face passion and a gracefulness that you wouldn’t expect, Geissinger brought together these two scarred individuals and created something spectacular.

There’s nothing else quite like a book with a hero who shows such stark vulnerability, a wide-open heart, and how it can, in effect, crush your own heart with empathy. The contrast between the two, his openness to her closed-off manner, made for a truly combustible attraction based on her contemptuous feelings and his playful, but oh-so-sweet flirting. The easy and spirited wit and banter between the two was a joy to experience. I could not get enough of them and the delicious fire that burned out of control. And speaking of fire, the eroticism and pure scorching hotness of this novel was the kind one should read with a partner, real or plastic.

While the wait for this novel was long, it was very much worth it. To see the other couples, experience their continuing stories, and to finally see Brody and Grace come together, was worth any length of wait. Geissinger, again, pens a beautiful love story with lovable, vivid characters and the kind of emotional journey that pays off in the end in Sin With Me. It’s a must read story.

The bad habit boys are back, gird your loins and be prepared to fall in love all over again with these sinful rockers. The 3rd book on the series Sin with Me is even hotter than the rest but this is Grace and Brody's story so what more can you expect. Sexy heros, sassy heroines and a plot that doesn't quit is what I get every time I read a book by J.T. Geissenger and Sin with me was no different.

Grace has had a soft spot in my heart since I read the first book in this series, fiery and feisty she's a red head with full on attitude but there's always been a vulnerability about her and Sin with me completely explains the reason for that. Brody is a hot rocker with his own issues. With both Grace and Brody trying to protect their hearts and keep their secrets safe this is no easy romance. If like me you love a rocker you will love Sin with me 5 stars.

***5 ‘Completely Unexpected’ Stars***

This book was everything I knew it would be and completely unexpected in all the best ways possible. It was sweet, swoon worthy, smexy as hell, heart breaking and heartwarming, funny and just a tad bit crazy and filled with characters that I simply want more of in every way possible.

I didn’t think it would be possible, but Brody has nudged AJ out of the top spot as the man I adore more of the Bad Habit boys. I’m as shocked as you are, but it happened. Brody was completely unexpected. This man is all kinds of smexy alpha male goodness with a huge heart, compassionate soul and sense of humor that turned me into a dopey smile fool throughout the entire book.

Grace is all kinds of ‘I am woman, hear me roar’. She’s intelligent, comfortable in her own skin and not afraid to go after what she wants on her own terms. I liked her straightforward nature, but I loved seeing underneath the armour of self preservation she wraps herself in because that woman is all kinds of amazing with her random bits of knowledge and her will, even if a little skewed, to live life to the fullest.

Their journey to their HEA was everything I thought it would be AND a total surprise all at the same time. I loved, despite their issues, how easy they were with each other. Their interactions were fun and felt natural, the sexual chemistry between them was intense ~ you should probably have your B.O.B. within reach ~ and I enjoyed watching as they got closer in every way imaginable. That big, bad twist that crashes into their road wasn’t unexpected and my heart hurt for both of them, but I loved how it all got resolved and where they were at when the book ended.

I enjoyed the various twists and turns throughout the story and was surprised by how a couple of them played out. I loved catching up with Nico, Kat, AJ and Chloe & her parents, but I have to admit that my heart has a very special place reserved for Kenji, I absolutely adore the queen that he is. And then there is Magda. She is just as amazing as Kenji in her own special way. There were no teases as to which of the remaining Bad Habit men will be up on the chopping block next, but I’m definitely looking forward to finding out!

The icing on the cake in this series I do believe. It opens with Brody in a confessional, and some wise words from the Priest on the other side of the screen. The story focuses on Brody and Grace although we get, as in the other books lots of interaction with the rest of the gang. Brody and Grace have been dancing around each other for a while, and it's their time now. Brody finally decides to make his move despite a past that continues to haunt him, he pushes forward with Grace. I really liked Grace.
I loved seeing AJ and Chloe again and the bebe`. They go through another scare with AJ's health and there's a lot of distraction. Kat is so overly dramatic, one of the "things I had with her in the previous two books. I digress.
Grace stays the night at Brody's new house, it saves her life as her apartment in her condo blew up due to a neighbor smoking while running his O2. While things can be replaced, gone are the last bits that Grace has from her parents. They were killed in a car accident that left Grace with no memories of her life before that, no current memories and the threat that she could once again lose her memory without warning. Which is why she has her "rules" about life, her 30 limit on relationships and the rest of it. Grace still has nightmares of that night. Bring pulled from the car by some young man and then left. The accident classed as a hit and run and no witnesses, no suspects. It was a done deal.
Brody and Grace have a history of sorts, but only Brody and his best friend Barney know about what happened. Barney hits on Grace here and there and it doesn't make Brody too happy. Grace sees it as harmless flirting.
When the anniversary of the accident draws near, the group preps and gathers at Brody's house that day, St Patricks Day and the other shoe in Brody's life drops.
This books seemed to go by much to fast and was a good read. I won't go into the ending and am not sure if JT plans on another book for the series. I liked this one, I thought book two was a little more intense and had more drama and suspense. All in all this one is still a good read. Just because of Brody and Grace. They seem to be the two most normal characters of the bunch.
Great read.


**NetGalley and publisher in exchange for a fair review**

JT Geissinger has written another amazing novel!
Sin With Me was everything I was hoping it would be! It had plenty of steam, tension and "trouble" filled moments!!
Brody and Grace had so many memorable moments within this novel, that I will never be able to forget. The passion and connection they shared had its challenges and struggles. They were broke down and haunted by the secret. But, you know what they say, when you love someone, love can conquer all. Does love conquer all and come out victorious in this novel?? Well, I guess you'll have to pick up the book to find out!
I definitely fell in love with this novel, and recommend it to everyone else!
4/5 Stars!

I love this book, she weaves a world you can instantly get lost into and I have to say that I am so glad I read her words.

Having read and loved the first two books in this series I was thrilled to be reading the third book as I feel like I have been waiting for it. Although ‘Sin With Me’ by J.T. Geissinger is the third in the series and each book can be read as a standalone but I do think you would enjoy it more having read the other books. This is a definite 5 star read.


Grace has been through some horrific times and deals with it the best way she can. Determined not to let anyone get too close she chooses not to have relationships and only have sex meaning no one gets in her heart. Grace is strong, smart and beautiful but also very afraid of being hurt. Reading Grace’s story was an emotional read and you really felt for her what she had been through.


Lead guitarist of the “Bad Habits’ Brody is sexy as sin but also has a past that he is hiding from too. Brody knows that Grace is something special, he can feel the connection to her and knows she can feel it too but he needs to convince her that he is worth taking a chance on and that he can and does love her.


The connection between Grace and Brody is undeniable and was brilliant to read. The banter back and forth was funny, entertaining and kept you reading for more. This was my favourite of the three books and would highly recommend the whole series with twists and turns, sex, heat and humour thought out that make it a must read.


I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.
