Izzy White knows of the darkness in this world. After all, she escaped it long ago. Determined not to let her past beat her, Izzy has a secure, stable life with a job she loves in nursing. But one act of kindness will completely upend everything she's so carefully built-putting her right back in the crosshairs of danger she's been so desperate to avoid.
When Theo Kane shows up like a knight in shining armor, Izzy can't help thinking she's been saved from one threat and exposed to another. His imposing physique, the harsh lines of his face, and the wariness of everyone who comes close are just a few clues to Theo Kane's notorious reputation. The man is positively terrifying. But with Izzy, he's tender and a complete gentleman, and her fascination with the mysterious beast of a man becomes too powerful for her to walk away.
As Theo's demons come to light, running becomes even more impossible. And yet staying together could doom them both.

I was so excited for this new contemporary romance by Jodi Ellen Malpas as I love her irresistible alpha heroes. Gentleman Sinner hooked me in right from the start with its mysterious ambiance and the intense chemistry brewing between Izzy and Theo.
Theo Kane! What a fascinating hero! He’s feared and imposing, but with Izzy he’s just so gentle and a completely other man. He made me swoon a lot with this caring facet of his personality he shows only for the young woman. I was filled with curiosity by his strange behavior and his past all through my read! As much as he’s an enigma, Izzy also abhors secrets that I wanted to discover. They’re both new to relationships, hiding their most terrible secrets from each other, but they need to learn to trust. It’s not an easy feat, but they work hard to get their relationship this level of complete faith.
The last few chapters decreased my rating a little. The intrigue took a farfetched turn in my opinion! I had difficulty believing that specific part of the story. As much as the suspense about both characters’ past is intriguing, I felt it was also progressing too slowly. In general, the characters are what made me enjoy Gentleman Sinner that much either way. In their individuality as much as a couple, Theo and Izzy are mesmerizing! You indubitably need a Theo Kane in your life!!!

My love for her holds me prisoner

And her touch reaches my soul
She is my peace

My love
