Title: Unforgivable Sin
Series: Escort #2
Author: Isabel Lucero
Release Date: May 27, 2014
In book two of The Escort Series, Troy Thompson and Emilie Watson are finally admitting their feelings and thinking about giving a relationship a try.
What happens, though, when being an escort in Sin City isn’t the only problem to worry about when starting a new relationship?
Someone from Troy’s past is back. Carla was the love of his life, his ex-fiancé, and the woman who committed what most consider an unforgivable sin. A sin that forced him to believe he’d never love or trust another woman again.
With Carla doing her best to convince Troy that she’s changed, and showing up to his house with talks of friendship, Emilie is left to wonder if her and Troy’s connection is strong enough to withstand the return of his past.
Is Carla truly back to heal old wounds, and get closure on their relationship? Or is she back to do whatever’s necessary to be the only woman in Troy’s life?
First let me say that I loved Isabel's first book, Living In Sin and thought to myself there's no way this book can top that but I was proven wrong! Unforgivable Sin had passion, love, angst, suspense, a crazy/lunatic ex and sex scenes that will have you squirming and fanning yourself!! I give this book 5 Amazing Stars!
Emilie, a feisty, tough, fierce and loyal woman has had a thing for Troy since she first laid eyes on him. The only thing that is stopping her from really pursuing him is his escort job, she WILL NOT share him with any other woman. She does her best to prove to Troy that she is and will never be like his ex and that her love for him is only for him.
Troy is a man that cannot trust easily and refuses to give his heart away to another woman, since his ex Carla cheated on him and tore his heart to pieces. He decides to give it a try and have a relationship with Emilie, so he quits his job as an escort. Then Carla shows up and the drama begins! Carla is a crazy woman that will do whatever she needs to do to win Troy again, so when one plan fails she moves on to another one.
I loved the chemistry between Troy & Emilie and the sex scenes were Delish! Some of my favorites quotes:
"You wanted my tongue in your mouth. You got it. Now I want my tongue in your pussy."
"You mean more to me than anyone else ever has....I can do this, I want to do this..."We belong together. Nothing has ever been clearer to me."
"I love you so much. I never thought I'd give my heart to anyone, and then you came along and you took it. You didn't ask for it, you took it like you knew it belonged to you"
Can't wait to see what else Isabel Lucero has in store for us, maybe Mark's story, because you have definitely piqued my interest in Mysterious Mark!
~ Review by Kara
I discovered Isabel Lucero one day when I
was browsing for books under $5.00 and found Living in Sin. The blurb intrigued
me and I finished the book that same day. I loved Isabel’s writing style; it
was easy to read, creative, and HOT! I couldn’t wait for the next in the series
to come out.
Unforgivable Sin was remarkable! I loved that we got to hear Troy and Emilie’s story from both of their POV’s and then to throw Carla’s POV in was a fantastic idea! This story was different from Jace and Adrienne’s as it had more drama and suspense. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t put it down. I would have liked it to be a little hotter but it would be hard to top Jace and his first chapter! I was very captivated with the tidbits about Marc towards the end and cannot wait for his story!
~ Review by Tiffany
“Thanks for inviting me. What’s up? You said you needed to talk.”
She certainly didn’t take any time getting to business, but I’m not surprised. Emilie is a no-nonsense kind of girl. I’m suddenly more nervous to have this talk considering Carla was just here. She kind of threw me for a loop.
“Yeah, well, I just wanted to talk to you about…well, us.”
“Us?” Emilie asks before taking a bite of her sandwich.
“Yeah. We’ve been friends for a little while, and if I’m not mistaken, there’s something between us.”
I pause and gauge her reaction. Her eyes go wide briefly while she finishes chewing her food. After wiping her mouth, she speaks up.
“You’re not mistaken.”
I smile. “Good.”
“But,” she starts.
“But what?” I ask.
“Your job. That’s what,” she says matter-of-factly.
“Right. My job.”
“It’s kind of a problem,” she says with a small shrug, then takes another bite.
A smile tugs at my lips. “I can understand that.”
She puts her food down and turns to face me. “I’m not okay with it, Troy, and I don’t think I ever will be. I really like you, but when I’m in a relationship with someone, I want it to be only between the two of us.”
I nod. “I understand. I appreciate your honesty, and that’s why I’m going to be honest with you now. Since I started being an escort, I never thought about quitting. Ever. I’m only realizing now that maybe I’ve done it so long knowing that it would keep women from wanting a relationship with me. Since my break up with my ex, I’ve never longed for a relationship. I didn’t want to put myself in a position to fall in love, trust someone who isn’t trustworthy, and then get fucked over again.”
She gives me a small nod, waiting for me to go on.
“I have trust issues, Emilie. No woman wants a man who has trust issues.”
“Why do I feel like you’re trying to give me reasons to stay away from you?” she asks.
“I’m giving you the honest truth.”
“Are you telling me that you’re never going to quit?”
I take a deep breath and huff it out. “I know I can quit and be okay financially.”
“That’s not answering my question.”
“Emilie, if you and I get together, I’m not promising that I’m going to be some perfect boyfriend. I’m trying to warn you. I don’t trust anyone.”
I hope she gets what I’m trying to say without me having to say it, because then it would sound harsh.
“Are you saying that you won’t trust me?” she asks, unruffled.
I don’t say anything, but I think that says it all.
“I see,” she responds. “Are you over your ex?”
My head snaps up and my eyes meet hers. “What?”
“Are you over your…”
“Yeah, I heard you,” I say, cutting her off. “I just wanted to make sure I heard right. Are you asking if I’m over the woman who I was engaged to, who fucked my cousin in my own bed? Yes. Of course I am!”
“Then why are you allowing her and what she did to you dictate your relationships?”
I open my mouth to respond, but she lifts her hand in the air.
“I’m just saying, if you’re over her, then leave her and your relationship with her in the past. Don’t punish me or any other woman for what she did to you. I’m not her, Troy. I didn’t cheat on you when I promised to marry you. I didn’t break your heart when I promised not to. You haven’t given me the chance to promise you anything. I haven’t had the opportunity to prove to you that you can trust me. I understand that people earn trust, but you’re not allowing me to show you that you can. When you’re ready to move forward, and done living in the past, then let me know.”
