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.

Ratings and reviews

4.25 stars--GENTLEMAN SINNER by Jodi Ellen Malpas is a contemporary adult, stand alone, erotic, dark romance story line focusing on thirty-one year old, businessman Theo Kane, and twenty-seven year old, ER nurse Izzy White. NOTE: Due to the graphic nature of the story line there may be some triggers for more sensitive readers. Told from first person point of view (Izzy) with an epilogue from Theo, GENTLEMAN SINNER follows the building relationship and love between thirty-one yea old, businessman Theo Kane, and twenty-seven year old, ER nurse Izzy White. Izzy White, trying to help an injured woman in a dirty alleyway, finds herself the victim of assault, only to be rescued by a tall, dark and mysterious stranger who isn’t willing to let go of our story line heroine. Imposing and demanding, Theo Kane, a broken and damaged man, constantly rides the edge of darkness, a darkness that is about to pull him under. What ensues is the building relationship and romance between Theo and Izzy, and the potential fall-out as Theo spirals out of control forcing Izzy out of his life. Theo Kane is a fractured anti-hero; a man whose demons control every aspect of his life, a life of secrets hidden behind locked doors and dangerous behaviour. Falling for Izzy pushes Theo to the edge of his control, an edge that is slippery with little chance of recovery. Izzy White knows much about pain and suffering but meeting Theo Kane sparks something deep within our story line heroine, something that calls to, and answers that something deep within Theo Kane. The relationship between Theo and Izzy is one of immediate attraction but Theo’s need to control sends all kinds of red –flags to our story line heroine, red flags that that continue to accumulate as their relationship deepens. The $ex scenes are passionate, erotic and intense. We are introduced to Theo’s best friend/body guard/ driver/ partner Callum; his mother Judy; Penny, the butler Jefferson; and Izzy’s best friend Jess. There is definitely something brewing between Jess and Callum-let’s hope the author has plans to continue their story. The world building focuses on Theo’s obsession with Izzy White, an obsession that crosses the line for a woman whose past is shaped by a world of threats and shadows. We are witness to Theo’s downfall and growth; and Izzy’s strength to save the man with whom she is falling in love. GENTLEMAN SINNER is a raw, real and gritty romance; a tragic tale of survival and the repercussions of pain and anger. The premise is passionate; the romance is obsessive; the characters are charismatic and captivating.

Jodi Ellen Malpas did it to me again. She gave me a tortured, sexy, overbearing Alpha male with a hidden heart of gold. Theo Kane delivers an imposing appearance that keeps everyone at a distance. Then one night, he encounters Izzy, a woman with amazing green eyes that isn’t afraid of him. Izzy has amazing compassion, pursuing a career as a nurse to care for people and to feel safe. Her past has a demon in it that not only hurt her physically but emotionally. But her incredible strength has allowed her to push forward and build a life for herself. When she finds herself captivated by Theo Kane, well, she doesn’t know what to think. She has sworn off emotions especially with men but with Theo, all her walls begin to crack. I was pulled in from page 1 and didn’t want their story to end. Even as Izzy worked to stay away from Theo, he wasn’t giving up in all his surly sexiness. I needed to know to their secrets but most of all, I wanted them to realize they could heal each other if they let themselves.

Bloody Hell! Gentleman Sinner is a brilliant, spellbinding masterpiece, that will pull, twist and mark you will every fiber of its being! So completely captivating you not want to put down even for a minute! GOD, Jodi Ellen Malpas just me my heart on a silver platter!! I can’t even describe the magnitude feeling for Theo and Izzy! They are just the characters that true novels and storytelling marvel over, the ones that will live with you forever!!!
