Jodi Ellen Malpas gives us something different in each story. But I was not prepared for Theo Kane and Izzy White's story at all. This an intense story of larger than life and epic love. Theo Kane is my new favorite JEM Alpha now!

Theo Kane has a haunted and gentle soul. Life treated him cruelly and he thinks the worst about himself. Jodi created an intricately layered and complex man. I am fascinated by him completely. I can't tell you about all his mysteries as it will spoil the story. Body of a beast, life of a dangerous sinner and heart of a protector angel- Theo Kane is perfect all the way. Like all JEM Alphas he has own quirks and secrets. But he is just so different from all other men JEM wrote before. Izzy White is another stunning creation. Her strength, her courage, her compassion and her caring heart make her an amazing woman. Amd they are made for each other. Nothing this world can separate them.

The attraction and chenistry between Izzy and Theo was off the charts hot and intense. I think this is a first book by Jodi wher BDSM flavor is felt throughout the story. This story is towards darker and raw side. And I loved every moment of it. Both of them has scarred and traumatic past. But Izzy's touch is "curing" Theo and Theo's protectiveness gives Izzy the secure love she craved all her life. JEM's words were pure magic. The prose were poetic and enticing. The emotions were so beautifully expressed. The last few chapters broke my heart into tiny pieces. I had real tears and goosebumps. The entire reading experience was almost spiritual. Jodi touched my heart and affected me so deeply. I could not stop reading it. I lost myself in the pages and felt so many emotions in me.
So intense, so mesmerizing and so perfect.

Jodi Ellen Malpas has outdone herself in Gentleman Sinner. It is not only a love story.This is a phenomenon. This is a Jodi Ellen Malpas masterpiece. A top 2019 read for me!

You know why I enjoy books by Jodi Ellen Malpas? It's because I know she's going to write best friends who make me laugh, broody alpha males and their strong female counterparts who have the best clashes, and the plot and pacing will keep everything moving. Gentleman Sinner contained all of these things in a way that didn't feel like anything she's written before. Theo, our broody alpha male, was an interesting mix of intensity and vulnerability while Izzy was fierce and fearless right from the start. And their first meeting? The sparks flew between them and never seemed to stop. As a matter of fact, this entire novel seemed to start with a fast pace and that pace never really seemed to slow. I never felt like I had to wait too long for the next twist or turn, nothing was drawn out--if anything, I'd love to have more of all of the characters (especially a certain pairing that I'm hoping will have their own story).



Gentleman Sinner is pure romance, an escape, with strong and interesting characters whose romance is sweet and sexy; you'll find yourself smiling and swooning and unable to put it down.

I’m in love!

Oh Theo how I love you. My heart! My heart is drawn to this wonderful broken man. He’s everything....absolutely everything. I was pulled in right from the beginning, This story will grab you and instantly have you intrigued with these amazing characters.

Izzy is exactly what Theo needs and his need for her will send chills down your spine. These two are absolutely wonderful together and they way they love will steal your heart. This story is amazing and definitely a top read for me. You gotta read it!

This book was amazing! I loved this book so much! Top recommendation! I couldn't put it down!
I've just finished it and I'm sad because it ended. I would love to read more about them!
I fell in love with Theo Kane. Until today my favorite JEM character was Jesse Ward, but now I love Theo as much as Jesse. They are similar but different too. He wanted Izzy and he did everything for it, he was stalking her (like Jesse stalked Ava). Theo was a big, muscular frightening man, but Izzy wasn't afraid of him. She was attracted to him, first in ten years she felt lust, chemistry. Theo seemed to be a cold, influential, dangerous man with guns and illegal businesses.
But he was so much more. He had a heart and I loved how he cared about Izzy, he treated her like a queen.
I liked Izzy too. She went through a lot but she was strong. I loved them together. Izzy was sassy and funny. I really liked her!
They both had secrets these made the story more interesting. And the sex scenes were hot.
The story was written in Izzy's point of view, but the epilogue was written in Theo's POV. I loved it! The epilogue was sooo sweet!
Congrats Jodi, you made it again! This book became my favorite and I definitely want it on my bookshelf! I loved the plot, the characters.
Gentleman Sinner is a sweet, sometimes funny and hot angsty romance.
I'm curious if there'll there be a book about Callum? I would love to read his story too!
I recommend this book to those who loved Jesse Ward. You will love Theo Kane too!!!
5* Favorite!!!

SOOOO GOOD!! You will love Theo and Izzy so much. Izzy is strong, extremely caring and a survivor. She is the light. Theo may be a hunk of a man but he is also a brut, has issues and a survivor in his own way. He is the dark. You need to read this to see why. Theo is so god commanding you can't help but to want to drawn to him. As you read you will see why Izzy had a hard time fighting what is meant to be. They are hot together. Both damaged yet have this power to heal each other in ways they never imagined. I love Izzy and Theo so much. I love the changes in both of them throughout Gentleman Sinner. Jodi Ellen Malpas does a fantastic job giving you so many feels. At one point I wanted to throw my kindle down and yell at her. This one needs to be read before I say too much more then fall in love with Izzy and Theo.

Ever want to be the heroine in a book? Despite the Alpha-Protector-Stalker qualities of the Hero? Yeah, I want to be Izzy right now in every single way. :::Sigh::: -- I forgot how much I missed JEM stories. I absolutely adore her broken men. Even in all their brokenness, they bring you to your knees, swooning and just wishing they were real in your life. They are unique in their broken-ness but the beauty in their pain is just....beautiful. Theo is just one of those men. "You’re all I can think of when I’m awake...You’re all I see in my dreams.....I crave your touch, and it’s driving me wild because I can’t let you have free rein over me." When two broken people are put in each other's paths, do we see it as fate? Izzy can't imagine why Theo would want her in his life. He is BIGGER than life and could have any woman he wants. Theo can't imagine why Izzy would want to be with someone as broken as he is, but also can't imagine anyone else being able to break through his walls. Can a person who ultimately fears violence and another who ultimately lives in violence learn to put their terrors aside for the greater possibility of forever? Superb writing that truly draws you in and makes you feel for the broken man despite the life he leads and makes you want to not put the book down for even a minute but also wants to make you throw your book across the room in fear, anger, and denial. This hit every single check-mark for me in what I look for in a story.

I don’t even know if there are enough words to describe how much I love this book. I was hooked from the very beginning. I ended up reading it all in one sitting, because I had to know what would happen next.
Theo Kane, this man gave Jesse Ward a run for his money. Theo is truly an alpha through and through. He has a dark past, he is mysterious, he is a broken man, but is also full of love. Izzy hasn’t had an easy life, she is also running from her past. She doesn’t always feel safe, except for at her job at the hospital. That is until she meets Theo, she isn’t afraid of him, there is something about him that makes her feel safe, but also terrifies her.
This book was dark and mysterious for a majority of it, but there were also times that were light. I truly wanted to be on the girls holiday with Izzy and Jess in Vegas, because well it sounded life fun and who wouldn’t want to be BFF’s with those two.
JEM truly doesn’t disappoint with anyone of her books and this may be one of my favorites. Theo and Izzy are two beautifully broken people who find safety in one another. This story was dark, mysterious, suspenseful, sweet, steamy and everything you would expect from a JEM book. It was just flat out fantastic. Not only did I love those two, but I also loved Jess and Callum (plus the sexual tension between those two was fantastic). The epilogue was fantastic, I truly loved Theo in that mode. I don’t want to say anything more and spoiler it, but he was definitely swoon worthy. One of my top reads of 2019!
