Unintended: A Sin Series Standalone Novel (The Sin Trilogy Book 5) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 1,227 ratings

The Fellowship saga continues with Kieran and Westlyn's story in this standalone spinoff of The Sin Trilogy.

Captor becomes lover…

I’m a marksman. Mobster. Deadly assassin.
My job is to protect my brotherhood, but that isn’t my only responsibility.

I’m Kieran Hendry, the up-and-coming leader of The Order, and a new duty calls. I must take a wife.

A wife I don’t know.
A wife born into a position at the top of The Fellowship hierarchy.
A wife who will forge a strong alliance between her brotherhood and mine.
A wife I don’t want.

I knew next to nothing about Westlyn Breckenridge when I abducted her, but I quickly discover that she’s intelligent, strong, defiant, selfless. And beautiful.

One night with her is all it takes for me to see that she is no typical Mafia princess. I’m hopeful this arranged marriage won’t be the miserable union I imagined it to be. But convincing my intended to give us a chance won’t be easy when she sees me as the enemy. The brute who kidnapped her. The vile fiend who threatened to do as he wished with her body.

It’s true. I am all those things. I had cruel intentions. But everything has changed. My affection for her is unexpected. My love, unintended.

Unintended is a STANDALONE novel but is best enjoyed after reading The Sin Trilogy: A Necessary Sin, The Next Sin, One Last Sin.

Each Sin Series Standalone Novel features a different couple met in The Sin Trilogy.

    This was the story I really wanted & waited for & I was not disappointed. We were teased mightily by what was going on behind the scenes with these 2 in the last book, but never told & this fills in all the blanks. Thank you!

    I loved both leads. I love the family building of the Fellowship & Order. This book might not be for everyone, the equivalent of the Italian Mafia basically is the only way I can explain how these ruthless families interact and operate.

    But, this was pretty romantic for a couple caught up in all of it. Watching them fall in love was spectacular. There’s a bit of Insta in it, but Westlyn our h is no pushover. She’s known the rules & her fate for a long time. Kieran on the other hand surprised me. I loved the way he loved her. It was swoon worthy for the situation.

    This whole series has been pretty great but I’m all on board for this couple. They’re my new favorite couple. I guess Lorna and Leith are next....but I really want to read Shaw and Mitch’s story! I’m totally enamored by him, lol. Great supporting characters, well written, high steam. Recommend.

    I devoured the entire Sin series in three days. I fell in love with the world, with the people, with the danger. It’s a superb series, and I enjoyed every second I spent reading it. Unintended is the fifth book in the series and can be read as a standalone, should you choose. I highly suggest reading the entire series, however, as it will give you a better understanding of the world in which Westlyn and Kieran reside.

    After reading Endurance and the first couple of chapters of Unintended, I was pretty sure Kieran would NEVER be able to win me over. I was deeply mistaken. The man was kind and caring and everything that Westlyn needed. Kieran portrayed a hard exterior, but it was quickly apparent it was a persona he’d explicitly honed for dealing with situations that were outside of his own wants needs. Underneath all that badassery, he was a loving, considerate person and it was that side of him had won both Westlyn and me over.

    Westlyn surprised me in this book. I had a precise idea of who she was, based on how the other people in her life saw her, but she was so much more than I expected. She wasn’t the demure wallflower I had assumed. She was strong, fiercely loyal, and fearless. The girl rivaled some of the strongest female characters I’ve read, and I admired her for knowing her worth and never letting anyone give her any less than she deserved. I found myself constantly in awe of how wonderful a person Westlyn was when she had such horrendous people for parents.

    The circumstances under which Kieran and Westlyn started their relationship were far less than ideal, but I felt like the acute situation they found themselves in was paramount for them figuring out what they both wanted and, frankly, needed in their lives. Watching what had happened between Westlyn and Kieran through other people eyes in Endurance was far different than what they were actually experiencing. It was a very tricky thing Georgia Cates did in giving us that perspective of them before we knew anything that was truly going on with them. I appreciated the misdirection and how it served to demonstrate that things are rarely what they appear to be from the outside.

    The only wish I have for Unintended is that there would have been more. There was a time lapse of a few months near the end of the book that I would have loved to have seen on page. I feel like seeing how both Kieran and Westlyn recovered during that time would have been incredibly special.

    Georgia Cates has crafted a fascinating and dynamic world in the Sin series. I love the intricacies of Scottish mafia she has developed and how each brotherhood has its own traditions and practices. There are several characters we’ve met already that I hope to hear more from; Leith and Lorna are at the top of that list, of course, but I’d also like to see Mitch and Shaw’s story, and I’m highly intrigued by the leaf Thane and Isobel seem to have turned in their relationship. I’m sure I could continue reading new books in this series for a long time to come.

    By the time I finally dove in to reading one of Georgia Cates’s stories I had probably purchased a half dozen books already. A bit risky, I know but they always sounded like awesome storylines. As you can tell - the first book I read (the Beautiful Illusions Duet) was incredible and I haven’t stopped reading her words since!! The Sin Trilogy series has been absolute perfection. I loved the first story of Sin & Bleu and everyone after that. They are beautiful, sexy, intense, poignant, and sweet. I have FLOVED every. Single. Story I’ve read so far and haven’t regret a single one even a tiny bit!

    First of all this book was amazing!!! I loved Westlyn and Kiernan story, how it portrayed them both as head strong characters but also showed their vulnerable sides.
    I don't want go to in depth so don't spoil anyone but here's what you need to know:
    1. it is standalone in the Sin series so you don't need to read the previous books but, if you want full in depth experience of this world than might want to.
    2. You will read this in one sitting. You just can't help it is just that good.
    3. Lastly you'll fall in love with every character because they'll get a hold of your heart never let go.

    MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS - The Fellowship and the Order are very old-fashioned mafia-style organizations who were at war, but the marriage between Kieran Hendry and Westlyn Breckenridge might just bind both mafias together & bring a bit of peace. It is the "old fashioned" part that was the big turnoff and I don't think I've been struck by it so strongly through the first four books in the series. For example, Kieran meets with his father who walks him through the details of how to quickly impregnate Westlyn because an arranged marriage isn't quite solid enough for the treaty they need. It was a bit gross. I was also a bit sad for Westlyn because her father was an evil man & her mother is simply a nasty social climber. Is she clinging to Kieran because she's a virgin & doesn't know any better & is simply happy to have someone be kind of her? Kieran is an assassin & is typically not a nice guy, but it is insta-lust for Kieran, and insta-love for Westlyn. Hmmm....it takes him almost losing her to admit his feelings. I am looking forward to Lorna's story because she is the one with the scarlet letter on her chest - sleeping with three men within the Fellowship, two of these men are now happily married but she had already picked the man she loved. Obviously these things are always complicated & her heart is broken.

    Reviewed in Canada on August 16, 2022
    I fell in love with the Beauty series and knew Georgia Cates was an author I needed to watch. I needed her books. As I read more from her, each time I was reminded of how right I was. And of how right I still am because Unintended was such a sweet story.

    Kieran was next in line to lead his brothers. He was only missing one thing... a wife. In their life, marriage is arranged—to obtain peace, to procure assets, to benefit both parties. A treaty with the Fellowship would be ideal and so he has his choice of three potential brides: Ellison, who's in love and loved by Jamie; Evanna, who's in love and loved by Craig; and Westlyn, who seems to be the enigma of the three.

    Wanting a pure wife, he decides that Westlyn is the woman for him—too bad she doesn't know it. When he abducts her, also takes her friend Ellison, and shoots her brother, these two aren't off to a great start. I thought for sure this was going to be some kind of enemies-to-lovers type of story. But oh no. Kieran is quickly brought to his senses and proceeds to woo his chaste wife-to-be and it was charming, alluring, and very sexy. I know that I wouldn't have been able to resist him, so Westlyn didn't stand a chance!

    I know, I know. I should not be swooning after the whole 'property' speech. But... I really couldn't help it. There was just something about Kieran's misogyny that worked for me in an ironic way. Especially because he did value Westlyn's contributions. He didn't belittle, dismiss or condemn her for speaking her mind. Actually, he loved it. And he had so many good bits. Or maybe I'm making excuses. Who cares, he's hot and fictional!!

    I enjoyed Kieran's violence on behalf of The Order, his bond with his family, Westlyn's interactions with her own family, and everything in between. They were great together. So yeah, this book worked really well for me.

    The Next Sin #2
    One Last Sin #3
    Endurance #4
    Unintended #5

    Unintended is told in Dual POV and there is NO cliffhanger. The timeframe of this story overlaps Endurance (4th book). So after reading Endurance you get all of your questions about Westlyn answered in this book.

    Kieran and Westlyn have an unconventional start to their relationship thats for sure!! But reading the development of their relationship was wonderful. Their connection was undeniable and I loved going on this journey with them. Georgia never disappoints when it comes to this world. I loved every alpha male she writes and I’m so looking forward to Leith and Lorna's story and Mitch and Shaw's. That book is going to be so much fun to read! I cannot wait!
