Gentleman Sinner, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Ellen Malpas.
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.
If there’s one thing that I know I can always count on in a romance by Jodi Ellen Malpas, it’s that she will deliver one heck of a story. Known for her hardened alpha males and their strong-willed heroines who blow their minds, her writing just gets me every single time. Well, wait until you meet Theo Kane! From beginning to end, Gentleman Sinner proved completely captivating, and good lawdy, the passion between Theo and Izzy melted my kindle along with my heart!
Theo was huge, intimidating, brash, and all kinds of alpha goodness! He definitely had his demons, but he also had some pretty great reasons for them. Since I was unfamiliar with the social issues that Theo faced, I thought it was very interesting and really felt for his character’s struggle in dealing with them and those around him.
‘Theo Kane is like marshmallow coated with steel…I don’t tremble in my boots or shake with dread in his presence. Instead, I quiver with want and vibrate with need.’
Like Izzy, I was irritated with Theo’s demanding ways, but I loved how she stood her ground with him and eventually brought out the incredibly sweet man underneath. She was the perfect balance of sweet and strong, and although Izzy had her own complicated past, she was fierce in not letting it or anyone else define who she was.
‘The man has me dancing on the edge of frustration and complete heaven.’
Theo and Izzy were both so bull-headed and stubborn, so it took a lot of push and pull for them to understand and respect each other’s boundaries. Their passion was intense, their sexy times sizzled, and they shared an unconditional love that gave me all the feels. And that epilogue was so incredibly sweet!
‘Like I’ve already told you,’ he says quietly, ‘you had me the moment I touched you.’
Jodi Ellen Malpas did a fantastic job of crafting this unique, complex, and suspenseful plot. Her descriptive writing really pulled at my emotions throughout with just the right touch of wit to balance out the angst. There was so much depth to both the characters and the story, and although I was a bit surprised at how smoothly and somewhat quickly it wrapped up in the end, I just gobbled every bit of it up. The secondary characters in the story were a delight as well, and I’m hoping that Malpas was setting the stage for Jess and Callum to get a story of their own next – fingers crossed!
Gentleman Sinner was such a unique and exciting read, and I definitely recommend it if you are looking for a steamy romance and a new alpha to adore!

My love for her holds me prisoner
Her faith leaves me in awe
Her hope encourages mine
And her touch reaches my soul
She is my peace
My cure
My love

About Jodi:
Jodi Ellen Malpas wrote her debut series, The This Man Trilogy, in secret, worried about what people might think if they knew what her imagination was capable of. She was shocked herself. But she finally found the courage to unleash her creative streak and self-published THIS MAN – the first book of the This Man Trilogy – in October 2012. She took a chance on the story with a hero who soon became one of modern day fictions most prolific alpha male characters. Jesse Ward – also affectionately known as The Lord of The Manor, sparked incredible reactions from women across the globe and catapulted Jodi into the world of romance.
She was soon signed by Grand Central Publishing, part of the Hachette Book Group, and the third book of the trilogy, This Man Confessed, took Jodi to the top of the bestsellers lists, earning her the proud title of #1 New York Times Bestselling Author. This Man has since been voted one of the top romance novels of all time. With so much love and enthusiasm for her words, Jodi suddenly wasn’t afraid of her imagination anymore and has since let it run riot. Writing powerful love stories and creating addictive characters has become her passion—a passion she now shares with her devoted readers.
Jodi was born and raised in the Midlands town of Northampton, England, where she lives with her real-life man, her boys, and a beagle. She is a self-professed daydreamer, a Converse and mojito addict, and has a terrible weak spot for alpha males. Her work is now published in more than twenty-five languages across the world.

Wonderful review! I just got my preorder in the mail yesterday, I can’t wait to start it!
I hope you enjoy it Kayla! I thought it was really different – definitely steamy! 🤯
I read a preview of it from NetGalley and I was hooked. For some reason I was pulled in by Theo’s stalking lol!
Right?? His overbearing and stalking ways were really entertaining and sweet! I love it when an author can pull it off so it’s not really creepy!
I love me a good stalker! I hope he can become one of my many book boyfriends lol!
This is another author I haven’t read yet. It sounds like I should, though! I like an exciting book with a great alpha. Great review!
Thanks Deanna! I hope you try her out and enjoy her writing too – her alphas are pretty fantastic! 💕
Amazing review, definitely adding this to my TBR pile. Who doesn’t love a strong-willed heroine and an intimidating alpha? 😉
Thank you so much! And yes, it’s definitely a great combination. I hope you enjoy it too! =D
I still haven’t read JEM 🙈 should probably audio them. Lovely review, hon. I read some mixed reviews about this one so I’m happy it worked for you!
Thank you Astrid! You should definitely read her, and since I haven’t listened to any of her audios would like to hear your thoughts. I always question myself when I see mixed reviews like this one, but I honestly didn’t feel the disconnect and really enjoyed the story. If you haven’t read her before, you might start with one of her others. The One Night Series was actually my favorite, although her This Man Series is more popular. If you give her a go, I look forward to hearing what you think too! =D
Will let you know! 😊
