Final Proposal: The S.I.N. Series (Unabridged‪)‬

K. Bromberg continues to wow me with another fantastic “S.I.N” series novel and another fantastic Sharpe brother, Fordham or just Ford, though there is nothing “just” about Ford and he is my new favorite Sharpe brother. Ford is upset to learn what was in his late father’s book or what was not in it and he really takes it to heart, so much so he does not want to speak about it or join his brothers to promote the book. He is drowning his sorrow in whiskey in a small bar trying to calm down the storm in his head, except there is a storm going on outside too and he soon learns that all roads are closed and he will be stuck at that location until further notice. He wants nothing to do with anyone at the moment, but don’t tell that to the woman sitting next to him. She finally breaks his grumpiness and they wind up hitting it off. Ellery went for a ride to get away and think about what she wants in life, she is not happy with the relationship she is in or the way her step dad and brothers treat her, she winds up in the same bar as Ford and the two have memorable night together sharing their reflections and thoughts. They go their separate ways but fate is not done with them, and they meet again at an auction for the property of the place where they met was up for auction and they both bid on it. She wants to prove her worth and business savvy to her stepfather and brothers and he had his own reason he wanted it. She gets the winning bid, but it cost more than she planned, so she goes in partnership with Ford to make it an upscale resort. I loved how everything played out in this wonderfully plotted story, there is never a dull moment and it has the perfect balance of drama, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. K. Bromberg, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Jason Clarke and Rose Dioro did an amazing job bringing these characters and their story to life and did so with a complete understanding of the characters they were portraying. I loved how they took each role and made it their own, sounding believable in every role they played. Clarke aced it as Ford, grasping every side of his personality, from his grumpy side to his caring side, and Dioro did the same for Ellery, playing her role with perfection. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they captured their character’s emotions and projected them into their performance, having you feel every single one. These entertaining storytellers are versatile voice artists and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

Book #3 in the S.I.N. series is Fordham and Ellery’s story. I enjoyed this forced proximity/office romance. Both Ford and Ellery struggled with family conflicts and their feelings toward one another, but I loved how they both were able to overcome them. Their chemistry was intense and could be felt throughout the book.

Jason Clarke and Rose Dioro were the perfect Ellery and Fordham. They definitely brought the characters to life.

This book was very cute! I read this book without reading the first two in the series and I agree with the description that it can be read as a standalone!

I really liked the leads and the whole vibe of the story. It felt like fate kept pulling them together and I just loved it. Nothing like a suit and jacket type of guy putting on jeans and fixing up a building.

This book definitely made me want to read the first two books!
