Finally! The last part of the Sinful Surrender Quartet. What a ride! Katherine Hawthorne has done an outstanding job in creating yet another part full of suspense and plot twists. Just when I thought I knew who the bad guy was, the story changed direction and I was caught off guard by another suspect.
Of course, the steaming hot, melt your panties scenes with the big bad alpha males made other parts of my body also very happy. But the intense drama, the fear for the lives of Sin, Xander and Belle are awesome and keep you pushing to read on, well past midnight. And then there is the mysterious Knight. Who is he???
In this final part, the different parts of the puzzle will be revealed. And you will finally know whether Belle will chose for her Heaven or for her Hell. Five out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc. I will be looking out for more series of Katherine. Thank you for this wonderful series.

Shameless is the fourth book in the Sinful Surrender Quartet series. I really enjoyed this and would recommend.

Many thanks to Katherine Hawthorne, NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Great ending to a stellar series

The romance between Sin, Xander and Belle has been almost as complicated as the series of crimes they have been involved in or investigating throughout these books. Just when you think they have everything wrapped up, something else happens. Of course, the crimes are involving human trafficking, and there are always more even if one is solved. But the the author was able to transition from one crime to another throughout the series and tie them all together very nicely.

At the start of this book, Belle had left both Xander and Sin because she couldn’t choose one of them and so she decided to choose neither. However each of them thought that she chose the other and were separately torturing themselves with the thought that she was with the other. It isn’t until something happens with Xander that they finally get together and figure out she left both of them.

Like the other three books, this one has a ton of action, mystery and suspense. Sin’s two brothers Rafe and Kade played big roles in this book. Cade is Belle’s “Knight”, so named because he first introduced himself as her “Knight in shining armor”. He has been watching over her throughout these books and helped her to get away with the promise not to tell where she was. But he watches her through cameras to check that she is alright. They don’t have any sort of romantic relationship but he is sort of like a big brother to here. Sin was unaware until the end of book 3, that his brother knew Belle or vice versa.

I really liked how this book flowed and I was really surprised at a few points. I love books that are unpredictable and keep you on your toes. I won’t spoil anything but I really liked how it ended and I hope the author Katherine Hawthorne’s next book is about Kade and has these characters in it also. Rafe is just as interesting as he is an FBI agent, so a book about him would be good also. Whatever her next book is about, I plan on reading it!

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I slowly read the last book in this series because I didn’t want it to end. I had to do research on this author to see what else she has written. Really good book. I highly recommend this author and this series. They are worth reading!

Shameless by Katherine Hawthorne, the fourth and final book in the Sinful Surrender Quartet. I did enjoy the book and series but found this final book did drag at times. The characters were likable and the dialogue was good. I look forward to checking out more books by this author.

This is my first time of reading a book by this author and all i can say is wow and where have you been all my life. I couldn't put the book down. But this book has left me with more questions than answer like what happen to the USB olivia put i side Belles' bag? Is Pavlov really a bad guy? Where are the rest of the girls and are they really safe. Can't wait for more of your books.

As action-packed and suspenseful as the first three. Was surprised by many of the twists. Still steamy, but in a more loving and caring way than the first three books. A great conclusion with the promise of a future for Belle, Sin and Xander.

Wow, Great series. Non-stop action with new twist around every corner. Never knew what was coming next. Almost sad that it’s over.

Final book in the Sinful Surrender Quartet. This has been a good series. After the last book, Alex and Xander have to work hard to earn back Belle's trust in them. Lots of action and we learn more about Alex and Xander's friendship.

When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Katherine Hawthorne is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this books.Can't wait for the next book.He owned my heart. Once my hero, my best friend, my lover. Now quite possibly my enemy. I thought I could vanish, disappear until I found the strength to move on, find the will to survive after he incited a war in which there could be no winner.

I love that despite Sin seeming more dominating in the relationship, and Xander obviously being bigger, Belle always has a choice. They ask her consent.
Great close to the series.

Could not get into this story. It's all over the place and not at all consistent. Characters seem to change on a dime for no reason.

Shameless is the final book in Katherine Hawthorne’s Sinful Surrender Quartet and leaves the reader feeling all questions have been answered and that closure has finally been dispensed. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t all smooth sailing as the story is laden with a rollercoaster of emotions, twists and turns, and for me, some instants where I was a little confused. But throughout it all, we watched the main characters navigate some tumultuous moments to reach their final outcome. I have certainly enjoyed this journey and will be looking for more from this author.

I bought these books on Amazon because i couldn't wait to read them. Today I see they are on offer from NetGalley as a digital ARC so I'm happy to be able to leave feedback. Thank you NetGalley.

Book four. The final book. How will I go on? What will happen? Will they get married? Will they have babies? Four is not enough! I have truly enjoyed getting to know these characters. This final book was action packed and full of mystery! A must read!
