Blurb

I try to forget her.

It’s impossible.

Growing up together, Conor and I shared all our firsts.

First love, first kiss, first…

Not all our firsts.

We were sixteen the night she was violently assaulted while I helplessly watched.

I’ll never forget the sounds of her suffering.

Or my inconsolable agony when she left Oklahoma.

Years later, she returns to honor our teenage pact.

Except the boy she loved is gone, replaced by a ruthless cattle rancher knotted with secrets.

She doesn’t know my dark cravings or the trails of sin that lead to her.

I don’t deserve her, but one truth remains.

She’s mine.

REVIEW:

“Miles, months, cities, years…That’s what you said.” He touches a knuckle under my chin, lifting it. “We’re bigger than anything that tries to come between us.” -Jake.

What I love about Pam Godwin’s writing, is she likes to push her own “limits” so to speak and her novels are unpredictable, with a multi-layered plot. Any fans of Pam’s would NOT expect her to write a cowboy romance (I certainly didn’t), but she loves to challenge herself and I think she did a phenomenal job with this book. This novel was more simplistic in plot, but that doesn’t mean it lacked any depth. There was still very much a detailed storyline that had me riveted, had my heart racing, and had me wanting to know how it was all going to turn out. I went into this book blind and I kinda feel like I am going to do that from now on with Pam’s novels. I literally had NO idea where the story was going to go, so I think that lent to a deeper connection with the story and characters.

“I’m going to trepass all over your nightmares and walk through them with you for as long as it takes. It’s not going to be fun, Conor, but you won’t be alone. Never again.” -Jake.

I’ve read several books by Pam, and she definitely doesn’t like to shy away from the more gritty and raw aspects of “dark romance”. With this book, I would say for certain the first couple chapters were the dark parts, the “foundation setting” parts of the storyline and they weren’t the easiest to read. (These particular aspects may be triggers for some readers, the blurb hints at what I’m referring to) BUT, regardless how hard they were to read, I was entirely invested in these characters and their turmoil right from the beginning. I was reading with one eye closed and one eye open! My heart was irrevocably full and then utterly hurting within the 30%, but by the end, Pam had healed me.

Told from dual POV, readers get a richer sense of the love and heartache between these two characters. KNOTTED was a story of the power of first love, sibling bonds, friendship, loyalty, healing and second chance love that new and returning fans will like.

“It’s impossible to describe the bond share. We’re too great for words. Too sacred. We’re a feeling that goes beyond starts and stops. We’re stronger than hellos and goodbyes and deeper than beginnings and ends. We’re an existence that can’t be measured. It doesn’t matter where she is or what I’ve done. We’ll always come back to this place. A place that can’t be found on a map or a time line. Nothing in the wold can touch us here.” -Jake.

Pam also does a great job of setting up the next two books in this series (which are all considered standalones).Each book within the series will focus on each male character (which are introduced in KNOTTED): Twin brothers (Jake and Jarret) and brother and sister (Lorne and Conor).

TRAILS OF SIN series continues with:

KNOTTED (Book #1) Jake’s story
BUCKLED (Book #2) Jarret's story
BOOTED (Book #3) Lorne's story

4 stars!

Author Bio

New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author, Pam Godwin, lives in the Midwest with her husband, their two children, and a foulmouthed parrot. When she ran away, she traveled fourteen countries across five continents, attended three universities, and married the vocalist of her favorite rock band.

Java, tobacco, and dark romance novels are her favorite indulgences, and might be considered more unhealthy than her aversion to sleeping, eating meat, and dolls with blinking eyes.
