Publisher's Summary

A wildly sexy, emotional, and suspenseful romance novel from number one New York Times best-selling author Lauren Blakely, with all new narration from Sebastian York and Vanessa Edwin, with special appearances from Shane East, January LaVoy, Jonathan Davis, Scott Brick, Sean Crisden and more!

She was my "what if" girl. The one I longed for. The one I tried to find again after she left for the other side of the world.

Now, years later, fate has swept the only woman I’ve ever loved back into my life.

With her intensity, her honesty, her passion, Annalise tries to break down my walls, because she’s the one who knew me before my family shattered.

When we collide again, it's tender and savage, gentle and rough, and makes me hungry for more of this electric, once-in-a-blue moon kind of connection.

If I want to keep her close, I’ll have to serve up the whole truth of where I went and what I did after she left.

But if I do, I risk losing her again, and that’s not a fate I’m ready to face. Not when each day brings me closer to finding the people who ripped my family apart and seeing them put behind bars.

Until the day I learn Annalise is holding the final piece of the puzzle to solving the mystery.

A great conclusion to a great series!!

This was a great series overall.. It's was like watching a movie and the way LB kept the suspense coming was exceptional. She is grate at what she does. The conclusion was epic. Glad this was apart of audible escape but I would have bought it anyway😉

A great ending!

Michael, Michael, Michael! Now, Ryan is my favorite Sloan, but Michael makes a very, very close second. His rawness is so, so sexy. When he and Annalise are together, Michael is forced to kind of put away his big protector of his family mode, and does something for himself. I love Annalise, and what she gives Michael. Even though it took many, many years, they were meant to be together. They had to exist apart for their love to truly blossom and grow. You feel Michael's struggle with losing Annalise. He never got over her, but he didn't live his life as a monk, either. He saw his brothers find happiness, but he felt it just wasn't in the cards for him.

Michael is definitely the most intense of the hot Sloan brothers. With him, you get a glimpse into what a great man their father was. I loved how Lauren captured the essence of Michael, who is definitely his father Tom's son. He's the embodiment of Thomas, and he pays great homage to his father's memory. Lauren doesn't skimp on the heat, and like his younger brothers, Michael has a beautifully filthy mouth, and his dirty talk is seriously on point.

There are tears of joy and sadness in this book. Questions that started with the first book are answered. Yes, there’s the conclusion to the big mystery flowing through this series. And holy hell, what a wrap-up of that! As the truth comes closer into view, other people and their lies and deception are exposed.

I don’t think Michael could have been narrated by anyone but Sebastian York. He and Vanessa Edwin were great. I’m totally in love with this series, and I absolutely adore the updates Lauren has brought to it. You still get the same Sloan family, and their core remains intact, but it’s as if Lauren has evolved this story as readers’ have evolved with the way the like stories to be told.

I absolutely LOVE the performance

I am still listening to the rest of the series. However the fact that Laura kept all her orginal characters have the same narrators tickle my happy place. In another series I listened to has one Character that has a distinctive voice due to an accident. When it comes to my books especially my audiobooks I like consistency. Some authors make bank have 20 books in a series. Then the branching off series again still making a good profit using the same narrator book after book. It makes me so upset. Worst they cant bother to get a female to work with him. So honestly the story doesn't have to be super strong. I love the experience. I suffer through the books because I am so heavily invested not just with the characters but the 45 books she wrote. So embrace the wonderful world she creates. I thank You Laura Berkley for making the experience magical. My wish is other authors will follow her. I would be willing to pay 2 credits for books like that. It really just makes you feel like your listening to a movie.

Lots of words but not a lot of bite

Redundancy is the best term I can think of to describe this book. It was not worth a credit. A great cast of narrators but the "story" left a lot to be desired.

Wow is all that I can say. Simply fabulous

This book was a roller coaster of emotions. I actually cried during this book. The series was wonderful. I loved how you learned about each of the siblings and truly what happened through their lives. The suspense and wonder made me binge read these books. Lauren Blakely never disappoints with her books.

Epic Conclusion!

This is the fifth book in the Sinful Men Series. The story continues where the third book left off. This was my most anticipated story in the Series. Michael and Annalise's story is beautiful and sexy, but also suspenseful and filled with twists and turns. This is an epic conclusion to the Series. Sebastian York and Vanessa Edwin as Michael and Annalise did an amazing job with the narration. The multi cast is wonderful: Scott Brick (John Winston), Johnathan Davis (Luke Carlton), January LaVoy (Laura Reece), Savannah Peachwood (Becky), Sean Crisden (Thomas Paige), Maxine Mitchell (Dora Prince), Brian Pallino (special appearance), Samantha Cook (Mindy), Jason Clark (Lee Stephano), Lili Valente (Bianca Rosa), Tim Paige (Marcus), Zacchary Webber (Colin), Shane East (Sanders Doyle). I appreciate that each character has his or her own voice throughout the Series. I highly recommend this Series!

What an Ending!

After listening to the first 3 in the is series, I had so many unanswered questions. Not only did Lauren Blakely answer them all, but she wove the most passionate of romances into the story. We get to know the last of the Sloan brothers, Michael and his second chance at finding love with Annalise. These two are incredible together! Michael is just swoon worthy and his undying love for this girl, even years later emanates from the story. He knows what he wants and he isn't going to let her get away. Annalise has some things to work through, and I love how she gets advice that changes everything. Fantastic romance, but that is not what I really love about this book. It's the history. The flashback scenes of what happened to Tommy, how all the characters, like Sanders, Luke, Dora and Tommy are all interconnected and how things all came to fruition. It's suspenseful and so gratifying to get the answers!!!! Loved every minute of this series and how Blakely reimagined it!

This ensemble of narrators is incredible. Each one gave something to the performance, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sebastian York as Michael always gives me that coming home feeling. Vanessa Edwin just never ceases to amaze me, and the ease of going from a French accent to American is flawless.Sean Crsiden nails Tommy. Each time he began to speak, I was drawn into the past. Add in Tim Paige, Jason Clarke, January LaVoy, Jonathan Davis, Shane East, Samantha Cook, Maxine Mitchell, Savannah Peachwood, Scott Brick and Brian Pallino and I was just loving their own narrations and then the conversations! It's so much fun and very entertaining.

Lauren does it again.

Lauren made an already great storyline, even better. Everything about is was Wonderful, add n all my favorite voices.

Lost love gets a second chance to find out What If

Michael and Analise personify what it means to be young and in love - simply beautiful! It made me remember what it was like to be 16 and in love, only this was a lost chance at something pure and amazing. Torn apart by distance and circumstances completely beyond their control, they both struggled with the what if for years. The lost years and lost possibilities tore me up, but Lauren completely delivers the perfect "Right person, Wrong Time" scenario in this story. They both move on with life and have experiences. They both find their rhythm and goals in life, but they always wonder. Even when they move on, they wonder. I love the pureness of this story. The absolute perfection of love blooming, waning, lying dormant, and then exploding when they come together again at the right time. Still, they have to contend with distance. But the connection is so there and I was in love with love when they fell for each other again. Their story is sweet, sensual, downright sexy and a GREAT example of adults owning up to past mistakes and doing their best to make the right decision now and for the future. For love!

The connection Michael has with his dad brought me to tears with the utter perfection of it! Again, the plot twists tore me up in all the best ways with this story. I was definitely not expecting so many twists and turns, but it just got better and better and finds not just a happy ending, but a realistic ending to that heartbreaking tragedy to make way for new love, new life, new possibilities. Lauren completely made me cry in this one!

Once again, narration was absolutely top notch. Vanessa Edwin is fairly new to me, but I was blown away by her performance and will definitely be listening to more. SebYo and the others delivered what we have all come to know and love from their performances. We experience the story through their powerful emotional performances in a way only audiobooks can deliver!

My Sinful Love

What an ending, how it all falls into place I had so many questions and they all got answered.

I will say sometimes it felt like too many characters and I would have to go back and listen to a part here or a part there but once I got more into the meat of the story it all came together.

I enjoyed Michael’s HEA he deserved it the fact that it is a second chance one gives me all the feels. I am glad he and Annalise found their way back to each other. The ocean couldn’t keep these too from each other, long distance is hard but if you can with stand then you know you are truly meant to be.

The chapters from the fathers POV were very powerful and I enjoyed those best.

I am soo glad we got a new voice for each character I don’t know if this book would have had the same impact if it hadn’t. Great narrators.
