If you're looking to start reading dark romances, this is a good start. Two characters who both really like each other, a little bit of familial drama, and some interesting secondary characters.
Enough that jumping into the middle of the series makes me want to go back and read the rest of them.
Gen starts off very naive and somewhat weird, Cobra dark and twisty, but at the end of it, I could see the two of them growing together, and I enjoyed it a lot.

Cobra’s life has always been temporary allowing him to move on without a care. Now everything has changed and meeting Gen and feeling a valued was what he needed to stay in one place and finally start living the life he had denied himself for far too long.

This book wasn’t for me but it was good. I very much appreciate the ideas behind the book but not the sort of story that really holds my interest. It was very well written and constructed though.

Thanks to the publisher for an ARC to read and give my honest opinion.

This is one of those books where two people meet, and seem like polar opposites then end up being more alike than you figure. Cobra meets Gen as they both work at Holts Gym, they take a serious liking to each other, and then reality hits. Cobra has a history with drugs and depression, never really think he will amount to much or be good enough. Gen comes from a zealot family, and her self confidence takes a hit from it. These are two people who are better together.

What did I like? The chemistry between the two was great, I could really feel for the characters. Cobra was finding a way out of a bitter situation with his roommates, and Gen really wanting to experience life ...a reality that you felt could happen to two such characters. I loved how the two ended up.

Would I buy this book? I thought it was a pretty good read...so yes. I was gifted a copy but yes I would definitely loan this one out too. This is a really great series!

Thoughts for the author? Great series and great characters! I really enjoyed it. Four fun stars for entertainment!

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion. Cobra is a man with a disturbing past and Gen is a sweet religious woman naive to worldly things. Once the two of them see and meet each other a tug of war between their two worlds begin.

This book will have you fighting for love and all that is good.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more by this author.

Fantastic read, I was hooked from the very first page. I will be reading more from this author. This is a story, that will have you engrossed from the very beginning. The words flow perfectly on the page, and it is written well.

I really liked this book! Good plot, great cast of characters. I read it straight through I’m one afternoon.

I can't get enough of this series. Loved Cobra and Gen nice addition to the series prob one of my favourite couples in this series.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance read, I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

This story opens with Gen doing a photo shot with other women at the gym for a calendar. There you are introduced to her not so way of the world ways. You think that she is just naive, which she is but there is more to it. Embarrassing herself during the photo-shoot with Cobra she leaves. They do not meet again until everyone is at a local bar. It is then that he notices just hew simple sweet and beautiful she is, and also very drunk. Finding out where she lives, he takes her home and it is there he sees her list. Not making any sense he is then kicked out by her roommate who has come home. The story takes you on a journey that I did not see when I began reading. Frist you find out that Gen is not her real name but one she chose. She was kicked out of her families overbearing religious cult like life and is living in L.A. with someone who also came from that life. Her and Cobra are attracted to each other and as she tries to help him, he pulls away. The last time is leaving her and she had to walk three miles and then take a bus back to L.A. When he finally comes around guess what she is gone to Europe now he is screwed. Will they get back together after the three months? Will she even want him? Read this good book to find out and see how she takes control of her life. A very good book and good characters.

I've really been enjoying this series so far! I think this one was my fave so far, although I havent read the third book in the series yet. buuut yeah. Breaking the Sinner had me hooked from the first page. It was one hell of a journey reading this one, an epic adventure of Cobra and Gen’s love story that ended in an epic way.
Looking forward to reading more in this series!

Genevieve/Gen was wearing a top that was two bra sizes too small for her and barely fit in it. She was at a professionally staged photo shoot for her new jobs - Holt Body Fitness- for a calendar that the proceeds were going to local charities. But this made her skin crawl being dressed like this and pictures taken. She had been bred to avoid these kinds of situations . Being the object of lusty thoughts via this sext-time calendar. This was only the third day of her job. But this is what she had come to L A for to live life. Gen had a list of things she wanted to wanted to learn and do. Gen had been living in a God fearing bubble. Gen hadn’t realized how hard integrating into the rest of the world. Gen was in a chair getting her hair and makeup done Than she seen him…. Everything she ever wanted physically in a man. He was watching her. Cobre decided Red-Gen- was going to be his. Cobra had saved Lexs life and once he healed form the stabbing he helped Cobra get the job at Holt Body fitness. Travis had been his boss for the last two months. It wasn’t in Cobra’s nature to listen to authority. Showing up on time to work, committing longer than a few weeks was foreign to Cobra. Lex understood something about Cobra that he himself wouldn’t voice. Every since Cobra had saved Lex, his life had turned a Tilt-A- Whirl. He now had steady money. Cobra had a personal rule- nobody saw where he lived. There was a meet up later of the coworkers - half mixer, half calendar celebration. Most if Cobra’s coworkers made him uneasy. Too many picture perfect people who probably had all the opportunities Cobra never even dreamed of. Lex was the only one Cobra could open up to. Lex knew where Cobra came from. What was normal for him. The two of them shared the bond of underground fighting. When at the get together gen falls off her bar stool- it was the first time she had ever drank alcohol and had mixed her drinks. Amara had met Gen at a different job interview and they became friends.Cobra thought maybe she was an alien especially when Amara said Gen was new to all this. While drunk Gen admitted she farted when Cobra had lifted her for the photoshoot and also admitted she liked him although she thought he didn’t like her. Cobra than told Amara he’d get Gen home. When Gen finally got to work-late- the next day Cobra stopped in her office . he gave her advice about drinking and brought up the list she had made up. Gen’s family had lived in a closed community and had strong beliefs and prevented Gen from getting her freedom.But she had ran away.gen and Cobra start to get to know each other and he decides to help her do some of the
Things on hwe list. They come from completely opposite backgrounds. Than feelings start to get involved. Cobra told Gen to walk away from him but she wouldn’t let him go. Gen helped Cobra out and seen him at his lowest and was there for him. Cobra had never imagines himself as a successful person and not good enough for someone especially Gen.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a very emotional read with a lot of angst but also two people from totally different worlds. I loved how protective Gen became of Cobra and how she became the one thing to light up his life. I got angry reading about Gen’s family and how they were and treated her. I loved how Gen stood by Cobra even though he told her to leave and she wouldn’t give up on him. I was happy when Cobra got rid of his bad roommates. I choked up a lot while reading this and a time or two tears went down my cheeks . I felt like I was there with Gen and Cobra. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I recommend this.

ARC received for review

I didn't care much for Cobra or Gen. They both seemed a little lackluster. Their chemistry was good, but not much else. I got to the last chapter, and thought this is it just like the last three..they're together and done. Imagine my surprise when one more swipe revealed an very nice epilogue.

Breaking the Sinner is an outstanding addition to Ember Leigh’s Breaking the Rules series and Gen and Cobra perfectly complete the family dynamic. There is plenty of angst, a bucket load of tears, and the journey of self-discovery this young woman experienced was brilliantly told. Two damaged and complex characters from totally different backgrounds, find each other and some common ground to escape their own personal demons and build a future. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and was sorry to see it end.

This book is freaking awesome! I love this series and the addition of Cobra and Gen make the family complete. I was waiting for Cobra to get a clue and move out and I kept hoping it would happen before it was to late, before he would lose Gen. I loved the self discovery part that Gen took, she really came into her own and it was an excellent journey. I wanted more, another epilogue with a proposal in the library, or for them to go somewhere on vacation together. I just wanted more!!

I expected a lot more out of, Breaking the Sinner. Gen was way too naive, and so was Cobra to a degree. It felt too much like a high school first time story to me.
