The rock stars of Bad Habit is back in this third installment from J.T. Geissinger’s Bad Habit series. This time, Geissinger tells Brody and Grace’s story which I have been waiting for from the start. Geissinger did not disappoint to give this book the sexy factor that goes very well with the book cover.

If you’ve read the previous books, you know that Brody and Grace have been dancing around each other for some time. The sexual tension between them has been building up from the start. While Brody has been forthcoming with his interest in Grace, Grace has been in denial about their attraction. She’s focused on her career and only managed to only keep boy toys in short periods of time. The risks have been too high for her. With a very difficult past, Grace has decided, letting anyone in is just too much to handle. Though Brody has his own dark past and has his share of girl toys, he’s more than open to exploring a relationship with Grace. I love his sleek approach to letting Grace know of his interest. He never pushed but when given a chance he truly gave his heart out.

I love Brody and Grace’s story. I love that Geisinger opted for a “player” for her heroine. She knew what she wanted in her life and she wasn’t afraid to get it. Brody, on the other hand, was man enough to accept Grace for everything that she is. It made them a very hot couple and I thought it was a perfect match. They made me laugh with their funny banters and made me tear up with their very heartfelt past.

The only thing that prevented me from giving this book a 5-star rating is the mystery part of this story. Brody and Grace have a past in common and it got a bit complicated for them which I liked. Unfortunately, the connection was a tad bit predictable. I would’ve liked to have been surprised by it.

The Cover: The cover for Sin With Me is absolutely delicious. This beautiful tattooed man gives us a bit of eye candy to entice us in. And well for me, it worked. Gods, I am so shallow!!
The Plot: While the storyline of Sin With Me was well written, it took me a little while to get into. I was probably about a third into the book before I started to really get into it. After that? I was hooked. And the twist on this one was definitely worth waiting for. I thought I totally had every thing figured out. Boy, was I shocked to find out how wrong I was.
The Characters: While it took me a while to form any kind of attachments to our characters, once that happened, I couldn't stop reading. I just wanted to know how things would turn out for everyone. I didn't really have a favorite character, I thought each character was well written and fun. Brody and Grace's angst was so heavy at points, I was almost in tears.
Was it Worth Reading?: Definitely. I had never read this kind of book before with the intense sex and I would have liked to see Brody and Grace trade roles sometimes. I know it was about being able to let go and trust him and the whole role reversal or stepping out of your safe zone thing. It might be my own issues clouding my feelings on the matter. Also, I jumped in at book 3, but I still was able to enjoy the book. I have purchased my copies of Books 1 and 2, Sweet as Sin and Make Me Sin, which I will indulge in (and review for you) when I have time. I am pretty confident we will not be disappointed!
I highly recommend Sin With Me to readers of adult romance and give it 4 out of 5 crossbows.

I haven't read the previous books in the series yet, but this book was ridiculously hilarious, steamy as hell and totally wonderful. I think I'm in love witb both Brody and Grace.
Still dealing with a Brody hungover.

Brody and Kat's story was filled with my three favorite things: Heat, Humor and Heart. The banter was funny and added to the story. What happens when a deep dark secret comes out that creates a path of destruction that they may not be able to come back from? How do you trust again? While this book is a standalone, the author does a fantastic job linking each book and providing the necessary background.

From the few (around 500) romance novels that I have read, this one surprised me. I'm talking your, "Where did that come from?", kind of surprise and I am not sure whether that's good or bad, or somewhere in between.

The story's bottom line is the happy ever after status, but the journey there for both Grace and Brody takes quite some bumps and a lot of guilt. From the very beginning, it feels as though Grace is in control- she knows what she wants and she goes for it, willing to sacrifice the little bit of happiness she might have. Then somewhere along the way comes Brody, the one person whom she cannot read or control to her satisfaction, and to make it worse, he is not willing to give up on her.
Grace's smack talk was new to me in a character but the Author evened the play field with Brody's comebacks.

However, attention wise, I was not so patient with the first two chapters, but after getting the hang of Grace's fear, the story took a fast turn and I rather loved the pace and kept up with it.
I would never have known or read J.T's books, but I am glad that NetGalley introduced me to her writing, what stood out for me in this book, is how her characters embrace their flaws.

Okay, I'll admit that the reason I noticed this book was the cover (hello, Brody). And that when I got past the first few pages that had hooked me I thought it was going to be another young twenty something book with little story and gratuitous sex. Boy was I wrong!
I kept reading because the first part, the part that had drawn me in was good enough for me to believe that there was more. Those first few pages set the tone and left me both curious and desiring to know.... The characters were young and I don't normally read books where the characters seem young but they were not shallow. This is several books into a series and can be read as a stand alone, but the other characters deserve to tell their stories. They have not so typical younger adult stories as well.
Sin With Me turned out to be more. The characters had depth and were interesting. I won't give anything away, but it made me cry and hold my breath and sigh in relief at times. There were parts that were painful to see because I just knew it was going to be awful when A and B both clicked. In fact tragic enough that I couldn't put it down. I couldn't stop reading before there was some relief in the tension and stress.
I would recommend Sin With Me to my friends. I wouldn't recommend it to my mother ;-). There are sexual situations of a definite adult variety.
I'm glad I gave this a chance because it was worth my time. In fact, I'm going back to read the others.

Unexpectedly funny, when the video plays on Grace’s phone at the hospital at top volume I honest to god laughed out loud and could not continue reading I was laughing so hard. The visuals painted by the authors’ words absolutely bring the story to life in your mind. The laughs just keep coming throughout the book. There are some serious moments, some very sad moments but the author follows them up with lighthearted, witty, hilarious banter and keeps you entertained and enthralled in her story. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time hoping I was wrong about Brody’s secret but waiting for the other shoe to drop. The author did not disappoint and my suspicions were correct with regards to his secret. The hilarious banter and serious moments both make the reader feel like this story could have actually happened and was unfolding before you. Great read.

Sin with me is the third book in this series, you do not have to read the first two but it's great to meet the other characters again plus once you've read this one you'll definitely want to read the previous two.
Although I thought the other two books were really good this one was absolutely wonderful. We now get Grace and Brody's story and what a cracker it is. The dialogue between the two is sparkling,so funny at times, also passionate and intense. This relationship is meant to be, and whilst both have dealt with tragic pasts they can heal each other, but Brady has a terrible secret that has shaped his whole life.and it is heartbreaking when revealed
A fabulous book, so enjoyable I didn't want it to end.
Thanks to net galley and publisher for opportunity to review this book

Ahhhh I don't have enough good things to say about this book, and this series. I happened upon the first book purely on accident one day, and I was immediately hooked. As readers of my blog know, I love rock stars - and this series is at the top of my favorites list. They're emotional, hot, and just plain addicting. And they just keep getting better.

From early on, I was glued to my kindle. In fact, while reading this book, I was stuck somewhere between desperate for more and too nervous to keep going. Using the previous two books as a guide, I knew this author would break my heart before somehow managing to fix it back up. And oh, did she. No spoilers here, just... trust me. Sin With Me is another home run. And I have already added a print copy to my wish list because this is definitely one for the keeper shelves!

Cover Lovin': Definitely yummy, and goes perfect with the rest of the series.

Recommendation: You'll want to read the previous books. Trust me.

Final Rating: FIVE out of FIVE stars (5/5)!! Love, can't praise highly enough, and I need more by this author asap. In fact, I might have to go reread the rest of the series right now!

Sin With Me is a hot as hell entry in this amazing rockstar series. This time it's Grace and Brody's story. I loved Grace a lot from the previous two books, but hadn't noticed Brody much. Probably because he's much more laid back than his two friends, Nico and AJ from Sweet as Sin and Make Me Sin, respectively. But, that laid back attitude makes for an interesting, sexy as sin man, even if he isn't all growly alpha like Nico or a broody mountain like AJ.

I love the sweet, witty banter Brody and Grace engage in. And when they finally give into their attaction? H O T !!!! These two steam up the sheets even more than Nico and Kat and AJ and Chloe, if that's at all possible. Don't go thinking that because Brody is a laid back guy that he doesn't get down and dirty (and a tad dominating) in the bedroom, because he does! Damn, does he! He's a dirty, dirty man!

And yes, there is angst, there's a huge secret at hand that Grace isn't aware of and Brody is, but the angst isn't as crazy as what happened to AJ (and Chloe), but it will tug at your heart strings a little. It made Grace the strong woman she is, though, so it's not all bad. And Grace is strong, so strong! She's a badass woman and Brody loves and respects that about her. Brody and Grace make a perfect couple: she with all her strong backbone and take no s**t attitude but with a secret soft heart, and he with his sweet, laid back, surfer boy charm that hides a heart as soft as Grace's.

I'm really glad Grace and Brody finally got their story, it's an amazing one. I'm hoping Barney gets his story told next and that he'll stay in their world even if it's just him remaining their friend.

Sin with Me had me wanting to sin hardcore. What a story!!

I have patiently awaited the release of this title for what seemed to be a very long time, and I can honestly say I was not disappointed with Sin with Me by J.T. Geissinger. This third installment of the Bad Habit series was everything the fans of the bad by the same name and the three best friends who have fallen for them have been waiting for and then some. In this installment, we have the divine pleasure of learning more about hard-hitting, in your face, do what I want, Grace Stanton. In earlier books of this series we learn about the accident that robbed her of her memories of her family and her youth, but we never quite knew who she was since then and how she copes with her inner turmoil and when she is home alone with just her thoughts that keep her awake a night.

Then there is Brody Scott. Musical prodigy and lead guitarist of the chart topping band Bad Habit and the man that has the cutest boyish crush on Grace that has spanned the series. Brody has secrets. The kind of secrets that he replay in his mind like a bad re-run of any 80’s sitcom that remind him of his past and haunts even when he is awake. His secrets are a heavy cross that he carries with him daily, but with Grace, he began to believe that there is such a thing as redemption.

Overall, I give this read 4.5-stars because it was a good story, much like the rest of this series. It has a little of everything… romance, drama, suspense, humor, steaminess, and even a few moments that will give you something to believe in that is much bigger than our own understanding. In this third and, I have the strangest feeling, not the last installment of the Bad Habit series, the author not only brings back all of the characters we have grown to know and love over the past months, but she also adds additional layers to each of them. She allows us to peak in to their new lives as their relationships grow and develop into a quirky family of their own choosing. So, because of all of these reason and a few more you will have to discover for yourself, I recommend that you run and read Sin with Me by J.T. Geissinger.

4/5 STARS

I’ve been hearing about J.T. Geissinger some months ago, so I was glad to grab SIN WITH ME, the third book in the Bad Habit Series.


We have it all: great and consuming chemistry, passion, tragedy, angst, secrets from the past that could destroy any kind of hope and future….


You won’t get bored, the author knows how to keep you hooked with drama, banter, humor, sex and the FEELIIIIIINGS.
Saying there is a lot of sexual tension unsolved is an understatement. The sex scenes are….. WOW…. But there is also moments of pure and raw emotion.
The pace is great, the characters are consistent, we feel their fears, their guilt, their demons and their hopes, with the double POV.
During all the book, I had this feeling that past was about to clash with present, that the heartrending revelation would explode at any turn, at any page, while all the sexual tension and the passion was getting more and more powerful and irremediable.
Having read those nearly 400 pages in two days clearly is the proof that you’ll enjoy all those sins!

And if, like me, you didn’t get the chance to know and read the previous books, you’ll want to grab them and read them to know more about the other mains couples and their love story: Kate & Nico, and Chloe & A.J.

QueenZany 4.5 Star Review
SIN WITH ME
J.T. Geissinger



SIN WITH ME is a toe curling good hit!
Which just knocked the socks off me! Wow! The storyline, plots and just the heat of the chemistry! Was just mind explosive! Sending my mind into overdrive and a tail spin! WTF?? The secrets!! All ! have to say is OMG!!
Yes!! If Grace and Brody could weather this storm? Then hell, they could get through just about anything!! Another oneclick!!

After the clandestine kiss shared between rock star Brody and therapist Grace at the end of the previous installment in the Bad Habit series readers knew that things were only going to get hotter between the two of them. Things were also going to get a bit rockier as they both have issues weighing on them that slowly reveal themselves throughout this story. Guilt and fear permeates their relationship but doesn't overwhelm it as there's lots of fun and flirty banter, along with intensely erotic encounters, to make for a joyous journey with a small speed bump late in the story.

Grace isn't your typical heroine as she's a love 'em and leave 'em kind of gal, unrepentant of her active libido and intense desires. She's a bit crass when it comes to relationships and sex and doesn't believe in long-term as a childhood accident could result in a sudden case of amnesia where she very well could forget her life and love. She's drawn to Brody but scared that he may be hurt if that happens. Fate conspires, as does Brody in full-out charm, to put them in close quarters which gives them the chance to get to know each other better and discuss their issues...for better or worse. Grace is a strong-willed woman, dominant in and out of the bedroom, but not my favorite heroine though she's oh so loyal to those she calls family. Her early encounters with another man tainted my image of her and it's something I never overcame completely.

Brody's a man riddled with guilt over an act committed in his youth. Though I suspected what is was the author still revealed it with a punch to the gut. Before that moment though Brody showed why he's the quintessential book boyfriend. To the world he appears affable with charm and flirtatiousness but behind closed doors he's a dominant and a master at dirty talk. His encounters with Grace were scorching and kept me on edge while I blushed profusely. There was always humor between them, even during these erotically-charged moments, along with playfulness that was very much a part of Brody which is what I loved most about him. He's kind-hearted, as seen in his interactions with his housekeeper Magda, which were endearing and self-deprecating. The guilt that he carried was always a shadow hanging over him and it was clear how much he was hurting and how desperate he was to make amends. Every sweet deed, every erotic act he lavishes on Grace, was an act of atonement for him and made me a bit misty-eyed. Despite his youthful misdeeds he made my heart ache and made me love him all the more with each turn of the page.

This was a sweet and sensual read, not near as heavy as the two previous installments, but still enough angst to keep readers on edge waiting for the other shoe to drop. Brody and Grace are a formidable couple full of fun and flirtiness, their happiness infectious. Their journey to HEA was entertaining with a painful speed bump that was thankfully resolved fairly quickly but had my heart pounding. While I liked Grace's embracing of her sexuality I had a small issue seeing her with Marcus at the start and their erotic encounters that felt a bit like cheating as her feelings for Brody were more than obvious from the start. While their relationship sailed along with few waves, it's the other couples who are put through the wringer as A.J.'s health is in peril while Kat's infertility is weighing on her marriage to Nico. A.J.'s issues are especially heartbreaking and made my stomach clench in worry as his interactions with his baby girl made my uterus hurt. Though this book CAN be read on its own the journey to HEA will be much richer reading this series from the start as each piece to the puzzle of the men of Bad Habit continues to be revealed with each new book released.

Great addition to this series and maybe the best. This is the 3rd book in this series and it features Brody and Grace and it is full of emotions, romance, sexy times and some real laugh out loud moments that made the entire book so very enjoyable! If you like romances with sweet, sexy men who love their women with all they've got, then you'll love this series. Would definitely recommend it!

Sin with Me is the third book in the Bad Habit series. And I loved it! I’ve loved the other two books, so this third installment was a great addition. I don’t want it to be over, but I feel like the author might be ready to move on. Sniff, sniff.

I already loved Grace and Brody from the previous books. But them getting their own story and really getting words from their POV was wonderful. They truly were perfect for each other. If you read my reviews, you know I hate when a MC keeps a BIG secret from their significant other. And this books definitely uncovers a big secret. However, I loved that the secret had a twist and was took the reader by surprised as well!

My one issue…one tiny issue, was there was a lot of sex. I mean a lot. It’s wasn’t really anything crazy, but I felt like it took over a lot of the storyline. Overall, this was a great rockstar romance. I loved the characters and I loved the plot. It was emotional, gritty, fun and full of sexy time.

I’ve come to count on the Bad Habit series to deliver some incredibly sexy scenes, swoon-worthy heroes, dialogue that will make me laugh and smile, and a bit of a treacherous path to get to the couple’s happy ending. Sin With Me delivered on all those accounts. While it didn’t knock me over with some crazy angst like the previous two of the series, it was a very good book with drama, secrets, and some twists I didn’t anticipate.

Sin With Me is the third book in the Bad Habit series that pairs up a group of close girlfriends with a popular rock band. While these can be easily read as standalone, there is character overlap and referencing of plot twists and conflicts from previous books, so be warned if you don’t want spoilers. I love how this author blends her books together by continuing past couples’s stories in each subsequent book to some degree. Fans get more than simple cameos. The more in depth check-ins and subplots involving the couples’s ups and downs reinforces just how close the girls and band are, while giving readers a chance to experience more from their favorite characters.

I’ve been intrigued by Grace’s closed off and often crass persona since she first appeared in Sweet as Sin. She’s certainly a different type of heroine, and I imagine some readers may be frustrated with her bed-hopping style or brusque commentary. I did have a little bit harder time connecting with Grace, but it may be a personal preference thing. Overall, I found her story interesting, really liked Brody, and liked the two of them together. The feelings and relationship between Grace and Brody develops early on. However, when you consider the flirting that went on in the previous books and that they’ve been in close contact for 18 months thanks to mutual friends, it doesn’t feel disingenuous or like instalove. That said, I did wish the feelings were a bit more flushed out, especially with Grace. Considering how much she was against long-term relationships at the get go, I expected her to second guess things a little earlier. I did like when it all came to a head and she started reconsidering or questioning things. It kept with her character’s cynicism, and added an interesting bit of conflict to their story.

As with the other books in the series, there is some ominous, heavy-handed foreshadowing and you know the secret and guilt Brody harbors will pack a punch. Although I correctly surmised some aspects of the reveal, there were still a good number of twists that kept me guessing and eager to know how it would resolve. If you like romances with sweet men who dote on their love interests, sexy scenes, humor, and a good dose of secrecy and drama, I’d certainly recommend this book and series.

This is a sad story with a sweet streak straight through it. I have not read any of the previous books, but I didn't ever think that I was missing anything.

Brody is running from his past. However, when he meets Grace, he instantly is drawn to her. I love their banter back and forth – despite him calling her names, etc., it is done in a teasing, funny manner.

Grace is living life the best way she can. She has a new family – her friends that she has surrounded herself with and she loves what she does. When she meets Brody, she knows that he is trouble, but she can't seem to help herself.

Then you have Magda. Magda is the housekeeper who is hilarious in her own way. She gives Brody a hard time but loves Grace instantly. She keeps the pair on their toes, but loves them unconditionally too.

When the secrets of the past come to light, Grace and Brody have to decide if their future together is worth fighting for. I don't want to say too much, but all of the secondary characters are amazing and I hope they have stories of their own.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the third book in the series and I would recommend that you read them in order to get the full impact of the stories.

This installment focusses on band member Brody and Kat and Chloe's best friend, Grace. They have been dancing around each other for a while, but Grace will not commit to anyone – and when we discover why, it is a little heartbreaking. But Brody is not a man to be deterred and just as things seem to be on an upward line, the plot twist kicks in...

It was also great to catch up with Chloe and AJ and Kat and Nico, plus the fun offered by Kenji (and London) and of course, the ever faithful Barney. Magda is pretty awesome too!

This is a lovely book, with some very, very hot scenes, as well as some deeply moving ones. Life does not run smoothly for this gang, but they know love is everything.

This is book number three in the Bad Habit series and I wasn’t sure it was possible but they keep getting better and better. The humor that was thrown into such a dramatic book was outstanding. Anytime you can laugh out loud during a book that has you mesmerized has to be a winner. Brody and Grace’s story was one of the best with Brody being the rocker with a great sense of humor and Grace was the ball-busting bff of Kat and Chloe. Brody was also was a man with dark secrets which weighed heavy on his soul and Grace had been through a traumatic event in her life that set her on the path with Brody. This book really made me think about some heavy things as well because sometimes forgiveness of yourself is harder to achieve than forgiveness from others. All I can say is that is a book definitely worth your time and as far as that goes picking up all the books in the Bad Habit series is a great way to get started on a rock romance that I would highly recommend.
