Secret Sin

The Byrne Brothers

De: Jill Ramsower

Narrado por: Michelle Sparks, Gabriel Spires

It was supposed to be a one-time thing, but I failed to divulge one little detail.

I was a virgin.

Bishop Bohanan was my first.

Now he’s demanding to be my one and only.

And he won’t take no for an answer.

Author’s Note: Secret Sin is a 25,000 word Byrne Brothers novella meant to be listened to after Silent Vows, in which the Secret Sin characters first appear. It is a dark romance with adult themes and may not be suitable for sensitive audiences. But if you’d enjoy a filthy-mouthed Irish mobster going up against a headstrong Italian heroine, this spicy mafia romance complete with a happily ever after will hit the spot! (You know the one.)

Loved From Start To Finish, Left Wanting More

I’m a lover of audiobooks. Ms. Sparks and Mr. Spires helped to bring our author’s characters to life. They are also new to me. It was great listening to people that I’d never heard before.

Ms. Sparks does a great job helping me get to know Pippa in a way that I couldn’t by reading her in a book. She does an exceptional job when she has to change her voice to convey what Bishop was feeling from Pippa’s point of view. Mr. Spires showed me why I need to expand my list of go to narrators. He helped me hear the frustration in Bishop’s voice when I couldn’t do that myself. He has a deep voice, and I loved the fact that he didn’t attempt a high-pitched voice when it came to speaking for a female character.

If you want to take your enjoyment of a book, or series, see if an audio version is available. One good thing about an audiobook is that you can get work done while still getting your story fix. The audio version also makes a commute, or even shopping trip, more pleasurable. And loving the series in the first place is just icing on the cake. In this case, having both versions takes me to my happy place.

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Good!

This is a quick one that you'll want to read after the rest of the series to avoid possible spoilers. It's fast-paced and will keep you pulled in from beginning to end and you'll find yourself with no choice but to finish it in one sitting!

The audiobook was wonderfully done and I highly suggest it if audio is your thing!

Amazing

Absolutely amazing.
I loved the story it didn’t leave you wanting more it gave you everything you needed to get that interest into the series. I already downloaded the next the series because I need to know.

The narrators were amazing. They kept me engaged the entire time I was listening. They did a wonderful job being the characters to life.

Secret Sin by Jill Ramsower (Book 1.5 of The Byrnes Bros Series)

This is booked 1.5 of the Byrnes Bros Series by Jill Ramsower. This book didn’t seem to have as much depth to the story as previous one, but it was still very enjoyable.. If you like dark mafia romances, you’ll probably like this book.

Luck

I really enjoyed this book. The narration was so well done. I highly recommend this book.

4.5 Stars Overall

This is the second book I've listened to by Jill Ramsower. A different series and missing out on the previous book/s (once again), but it truly works as a standalone. Of course we miss the connection to the other characters, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I was invested since it was so short. Novellas are hard to write as a full story. And I really liked the storyline. Not a typical mafia story like I'm used to reading/hearing. The characters were easy to like. I look forward to more from this series and author!

Gabriel Spires and Michelle Sparks are great narrators. I liked their voices and their performances were emotional. The Audiobook rolled like a movie in my head.

Nice Story

It was fun watching Pippa and Bishop interact. Watch their explosive chemistry. See how long it takes Pippa to realize she only wants Bishop. And wonder how many more ways Bishop can annoy Pippa while trying to convince her to give him a chance.

Love the series

So I love this series (I’m listening backwards actually) - the writing, the characters, the dialogue and the storylines are all top notch! That said this isn’t my favorite. There isn’t any mafia business (sorry, spoiler) in this one. I suppose it’s because this book is so short, but still kind of a let down given the other amazing books. While I did still like this one, I wish it wasn’t as pricey. I love Bishop and Pippa and the narrators are amazing! The story is a good one.

Perfect Novella

I really enjoyed this one.So far this series has been really good. I also enjoyed the narration.

Short Listen with Great Narrators

Secret Sin is a short story for Pippa and Bishop. I liked that we got to see Pip get her HEA. She was such a great side character in Silent Vows. You also see Bishop and Pippa through the series. So, getting their story was a great addition.
Bishop is OTT like the rest of the guys in the series. He was adorable with his persistence of being with Pippa.
Pippa didn't want to be committed to anyone. She liked her freedom. I enjoyed watching Bishop wear her down.

Michelle Sparks and Gabriel Spires narrate this one. They do this one dual style (they each read their own chapters).
I really liked these two as Pippa and Bishop. Their voices were perfect for them.
