Born to Sin

Sinful, Montana Book 4

De: Rosalind James

Narrado por: Emma Wilder

Being sentenced by a woman in a black robe is not a meet-cute. Quinn Jeffries follows the rules. A judge in small-town Sinful, Montana, doesn’t have much room for missteps, and when you spend your childhood training for the Olympics, you don’t have time for anything but discipline anyway. And, see? It’s worked! Her life is just fine. Of course, it doesn’t include any romance, but her new six-first-dates plan could fix that. She just has to be feminine and beguiling, or maybe marginally less take-charge. Too bad she doesn’t know how.

Beckett Hughes has a few problems, too, but nothing he can’t fix. Yes, he’s an Aussie in small-town Montana, and his kids don’t understand why he’s moved them halfway around the world, but he can do this. He has to. He isn’t counting on rescuing a useless monkey-faced dog from a rubbish bag or on making one of the stupidest decisions of his life bang in front of a cop and ending up standing before a judge he last saw in her swim costume. He doesn’t need any of this. Except that it seems he does.

How do you drag a woman into sin when she doesn’t even recognize the destination?

Love the characters

Once again Rosalind James has written relatable characters despite having completely unrelatable (for me) circumstances. She's so good at that. I especially loved the dog since I'm a chug-mom myself. She writes great strong, independent women, but I did get a little annoyed with the assumptions that Quinn makes throughout the story. By the end of the book I loved her though, once her confidence was able to show. I found the first half of the book a little meandering, but the second half hooked me and I sped right through it. Overall a great read.

I am super picky about narrators but as usual, Emma Wilder is fantastic.

Great story

This was a fabulous addition to the Sinful, Montana series. I know when I pick up a book by Rosalind James that her characters are always believable and the way she describes the surroundings, often makes me feel as though I am seeing the places she talks about as I read.

Born To Sin is Judge Quinn Jeffries and single dad (and Australian) Beckett Hughes’ story and it was well written and entertaining. Beckett is swoon worthy and made my heart jump on occasion. Quinn needs romance and puts a plan in motion that had me smiling.

Quinn and Beckett have a history and it was fun watching their relationship develop. Born To Sin was a romantic, sweet, humorous story which had great secondary characters and one I thoroughly enjoyed. Emma Wilder did a wonderful job with her narration. Her voice is easy to listen to and she brought the story to life for me.

Emma Wilder masterfully brings this story to life!

When two accomplished people meet in traffic court, the odds seem against them. The Aussie and Olympic swimming judge seem like an unlikely match, but real life put their paths on an intersection and two small children cemented their connection.

Emma Wilder is a favorite narrator and she just brings so much to the story.

Beckett and Quinn

The audible for this book was narrated by Emma Wilder. She did a remarkable job with the voices and accents, bringing the story to life. I previously read the book and my book review follows:

This is Sinful, Montana: Book 4 by author Rosalind James. She is a master at world-building and depth of character. Family, straight talk, and a bit of a mystery make this story flow in the best possible way. I enjoyed Beckett and Quinn, their lives, their pasts, and their careers. I also enjoyed Janey and Troy, but I especially enjoyed the crows. Get to know them all. You won’t be disappointed.

Enjoyed as always

I enjoyed this but it was a little uneven in places so not my favorite of the series, and I've read and listened to them all. Emma Wilder is the perfect reader for these books. The beginning is so fun, especially the blind dates; paddle boarding was priceless. The breakup scene at the country club made me laugh out loud. The visit to Australia was good but somehow didn't quite work for me. All in all, well done, the characters, as always, are so well done.
