Sinclair was my secret obsession.
The one I dreamed of in a homelife filled with violence and pain.
It was Sin’s darkness that saved me, wrapping its way around my heart until it beat only for him.
I helped him escape his island prison.
He asked me to leave with him.
But my mother is pregnant, and I won’t let another child be raised in that house of horrors.
The only way to free her is to betray the man I want and the family he’s creating.
Love is impossible when my only option is to sin.
--
Sin (Dark Island Scots, #2) continues the story started in Ruin (Dark Island Scots, #1). This is Sinclair and Lottie’s romance, so expect exquisite and seductive scenes, a plus-sized heroine and her much bigger hero, and an insidious mystery threatening our tribe of found family.
Sin (Dark Island Scots, #2) Reviews
-
A book with a plus sized heroine and the huge, tormented, protective Scot who would die to save her? Yeah, I’m in. Add in a dose of the hottest smut I’ve ever read (whoops my biggest kink) and you’ve got Sin, the second book in the Dark Island Scots series.
Jolie is a master in crafting characters that are full of life. Not a single one is boring or one-dimensional. I can’t help but adore every single member of this family, just like I did in the Marry the Scot books. This story is the best mixture of suspense and epic plot, but the biggest draw is the intimate connection between Sin and Lottie. They both have families to protect, but they can’t deny that they’re drawn to each other. More than that, they want to consume one another. Their scenes, smut or otherwise, left me absolutely wrecked and in love with them. I could scream for an hour about them, but I wouldn’t even begin to do them justice.
TLDR; I will continue to read everything Jolie Vines writes. And if it includes more big men becoming absolutely weak for their woman, even better. -
GOD THE SCENE WHERE YOU REALLYYYYYYY FIND OUT WHAT SIN AND LOTTIE ARE IN TO….YOURE GONNA NEED A GLASS OF WATER!!!
-
Well what can I say. Another PHENOMENAL read by Jolie. I was hooked from the beginning and would of devoured in one sitting it’s that brilliant - just damn adulting getting in the way!
OMG Sin - I’m addicted to him. That mouth of his 🔥🔥, that body, the possessive grumpy alphaness of him is addictive.
And Lottie is super sweet, super loyal and love the bonds she has with everyone.
I’ve been laughing, swooning and been kept on the edge reading/devouring/living/breathing this book.
And Sin and Lottie together - pure fire!! -
3 for the smut
-
Well shit, that was intense. Smut and a lot of action.
4/5 ⭐️ (we're using the smut scale for this)
4/5 🌶 It was gooood. And hot.
Contains plus size fmc, tall hot brooding mmc, breeding kink, hints of mommy and daddy play.
Also: violence, mentions of SA, murder, drugs -
Wow! This series is well on its way to being outstanding!
"Every hair on my body stood on end. Every inch of skin came alive, burning for his touch."
Sinclair Stone AKA Sin is on the run with his family having escaped their imprisonment on a remote island. The only person missing from their crew is Violet Hunter AKA Lottie, the girl who he has been fantasising about for a good year; the girl who refuses to leave with him. He's bitter but focused on keeping his family alive and safe.
Lottie was desperate to leave with her friends, but she refused to leave her pregnant mother behind, in spite of the abuse she suffers at home. However, when she's forced to make an impossible choice, she finds her way back to Sin and the others. Bone-deep desire wars with distrust, as Sin and Lottie fight for even footing, while danger is closing in on them.
"If I do this, you're mine. No going back. No running from me. No betrayal. I won't give ye up. You're mine to do with as I please."
Told mainly from Sin and Lottie's POV, this story also features the voices of some of the other characters, giving us a rounded view of what's happening to our fugitive family. This story was HOT AF!! 🔥🔥Sin is a great big hulking possessive alpha, while Lottie throttles her virginal inhibitions completely. I loved how he craved her and how his desire for her helped her shed her image issues. Aside from their combustible chemistry, this story totally captivated me. I was absolutely hooked and completely invested in the outcome. I loved the dynamic that was evolving amongst the group. Everyone had their part to play but Sin was undoubtedly the head of the family. Secrets are uncovered and more mysteries are introduced. This story was raw, dark and intriguing. Honestly, this series so far is just so amazing and gripping, and I can't wait for the next book!

Holy huge cliffhangers book friends!!
This is book 2 in The Dark Scots series and it picks up right where book 1 ended. This is a continuous storyline and must be read in order! I would also advice you to read Max's story from Wild Mountain Scots series as we are introduced to Struan in that book leading us to the Dark Island Scots. ( it's not a deal breaker if you don't but you'll thank me for introducing you first to the Wild Mountain Scots!!)
Anyhow the Dark Island Scots are definitely that.. A darker read,tormented and horrific things are done to these boys solely bc of being born or bc of greed! I loved the connection, loyalty and family these characters have made! I hated how some characters showed how horribly disgusting humans can be and treat one another just because they feel they're deserving of something even if its never theirs to claim! How the old saying "money is the root of all evil"! Well it definitely is in these books! It saddens me to know this is true in the real world as well!
Sin and Lottie are perfect for each other and I adored seeing Sin finally get his hea with Lottie if not in other aspects of his life! He is head of this family born from greed, abuse and manipulation and he takes his responsibilities seriously! Together they bring this family closer to finding out all the secrets that had originally imprisoned the boys on the Island. The majority of adults/parents in this book are pieces of $π•+$! They are horrible human beings that never deserved to be given the privilege of having children!
So... dark drama, violence, greed, abuse but also family, friendship and love make up these books!
If a Darker romance isn't your taste head over to Marry the Scots, Wild Scots or Wild Mountain Scots. All are amazing reads and lighter in nature but brilliant reads!
Scars book is next out in November so we'll have to wait a few months to uncover more secrets and I'm sure more unanswered questions will arise!
4.5 stars!! Jolie Vines is an amazing author who builds worlds that don't read as books but that you tumble into like Alice down the rabbit hole and become ONE in the story! Free with K. U. ✌ -

SIN (Dark Island Scot book 2) I highly recommend you read the first book “Ruin” before reading this one because you will understand it better
I don’t know were to start with this review, I loved loved loved this book so much, I enjoyed every second of it, and the best thing was that the book picks up exactly where the first one ended.
It exceeded my expectations, The book was full of surprises and twist, and that some of them I did not expect them. I had so much fun reading.And don’t get me started on the spiciness of this book they were chef’s kiss.
Sin I love this man, i loved how protective, possessive and sweet was with Violet.
Violet I really want to give her a hug she so sweet and always thinking of everyone else before herself.
Sin & Violet they are so sweet together and I loved the chemistry between them.
As soon I finished this book, I was already thinking I need more. And I can’t wait for the next one. -
Sin (Dark Island Scots #2) by Jolie Vines is a new adult romantic suspense told in first person from multiple points of view. It’s the second book in a series with a continuing storyline, so it ends with a cliffhanger. Picking up where the previous book ended, the story explores the relationship between Violet “Lottie” Hunter and Sinclair “Sin” Stone, as it follows Sin and his brothers’ escape from the dark island while they run from Lottie’s father who leads a manhunt for them. Most of the story is told from Lottie’s and Sin’s perspectives, but there are six other character POVs of one or two chapters each.
I enjoyed Sin and Lottie’s story. I liked them both as characters, but found it difficult to trust Lottie for most of the book. It seemed like she could betray the brothers at any moment, and I didn’t understand how Thea could be such a fool to blindly trust her. As a result, a large part of the story had me rooting for Sin and his brothers, but I couldn’t root for Lottie. This series has a large cast of characters, and I’m enjoying getting to know them. Sin (Dark Island Scots #2) features a plus-sized heroine and an alpha hero with a breeding kink who are on the run together with his family. Action, twists, and secrets abound. I’m looking forward to more answers being revealed as the story continues in Scar (Dark Island Scots #3).
*** I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC. *** -
This book is delightfully twisty, dark and steamy and will hold readers captive until the last word is read. This book picks up right where Ruin left off, though it focuses on Sin and his story. Sin is the protector of his group, his family by blood, shared experiences and by choice. A tall behemoth who has a tender centre he diligently hides with his gruff, rather rude demeanour, Sin would give his life to protect all of those whom he has claimed as family. As the book starts, he believes that the woman he has become obsessed with, Violet or Lottie as he calls her, has played him and family. When she turns up later with Thea, Struan’s girlfriend, he is positive she is up to no good. As the saying goes, Sin keeps his enemy, Lottie, close. As in glued to his side and in his bed close, ostensibly so he can keep her from betraying their whereabouts or calling in law enforcement. He doesn’t give the smitten Lottie a chance to plead her case or to reveal her devotion to him. They both succumb to their fierce attraction, though neither will admit to your feelings, or their obsessions. Time, dangerous circumstances as well as Lottie’s actions and quick mind serve to prove her loyalty to Sin and his family. But they are all still being hunted, and demons from their pasts are determined to resurface and haunt them. Their journey forward is just as harrowing and twisted as their pasts, at least for the foreseeable future.
Though the characters in this book may appear to be broken and damaged, they all have an inner strength and resilience that is admirable and inspiring. Their stories are proving to be rather addictive and I can’t wait to read Scar’s story next. I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review. -
Ummm wow.. this book seriously had me on edge the whole time. I had a love/hate relationship for this couple. I loved them so much but I also hated them. And not in a bad way. They had so much past trauma that I hated the way they were to each other at times. It was when they stopped fighting their feelings that I stopped hating them.
I hated that they couldn't trust each other at first. I hated that Sin was so aggressive with Lottie. I hated that Lottie refused to tell Sin the truth. But I loved that no matter what Sin still wanted to take care of Lottie. I loved that Lottie wanted the best for Sin and his family.
I loved that we got more of Straun and Thea. I loved watching their love shine. I liked seeing Scar grow, Burn find a bit of peace, and Cassie find her family. But the drama that happened. The way things went done. So many questions hanging in the air.... aghhh. This series, this book! It will reel you in and leave you hanging, waiting for more. I need to know what happened. But I'll be patient. My answers will come in due time. They will all find peace and happiness and I'll be happy too. Looking forward to the next book! ❤❤
*I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review* -
This second book in the Dark Island series is even darker than the first. Sin and Lottie are heated the entire time, his brooding distrust of her fueling their fire. And when they give in…explosive. I am usually not a big fan of dark romance tropes but the plot in this series draws the reader deeper into this underworld in a way that flows seamlessly. I’m hooked, all in for the ride and anxiously awaiting Scar’s story next. 10/10 recommended for fans of slightly forbidden, a touch of taboo and twists in the plot that keep you guessing.

Oh my!!!! Every time I think I can't love any character more than the last, Jolie proves me wrong! Sin and Lottie have stolen my heart. I'm loving the family dynamic in this series. Soo good! Race to get this series, you won't be disappointed.
Sin is the most alpha male ever. He is the family protector and he takes that job so seriously. He's drawn to Lottie but isn't sure he can trust her.
Lottie is so attracted to Sin, but can she betray him to save her family or is he the family she's been searching for without realizing?
The chemistry between these two is so amazing. I literally could not put the book down. -
I'm been desperately waiting to read this book after reading Ruin the first book and was thrilled to be chosen as an arc reader, and this book did not disappoint. It has everything you want and more, it has alpha males, strong plus sized female characters, spice🔥
This book gives you numerous book boyfriends to lust over, and characters that you are dying to know more about and Sin and Lottie's relationship was 🔥🔥
Already wanting my next fix and can't wait for the next book ❤️ -
Received an Arc for my review. Holy shirt balls. I love Sin. I love his alpha male, touch her you die attitude. Lottie is so relatable. Curvy goddess who had been told to hide her body because she’s plus sized. The spice in this book is so different from Jolie’s previous series and I love what she is bringing in. Picking up right where Ruin left off and took of running, literally. Sin doesn’t trust Lottie, but he cannot resist her.
-
OMG SIN! Love him! Just finished listening to it this morning but am already desperately in need of the next book in the series!

Controlling mmc

What a rollercoaster! One that I loved every minute of. I couldn't put this book down but had to force myself to sleep. Sin and Lottie's story is addictive. The plot continued with this second instalment in the Dark Island Scot's series and it did not disappoint. It was nice to see some of the original Mcrae's again to. You never dissapoint eith your writting Jolie! I can't wait for the next one!!
-
Wow, I thought the first Ruin was good. This is by far a wonderful follow up. There’s drama, passion, mysteries, and many secrets that get divulged. Sin is now my favorite rebel. Ughh, the cliff hanger, now we patiently await for the 3rd in the series. Great job Miss Jolie. You knocked this one out of the park.

In a world where there are many books that one can choose from, Jolie's continue to stand out. Sin pulled me in from page one, continuing the story from Ruin. I absolutely loved this story! The way Sin and Lottie's relationship progressed, and how he wanted to protect her family, yet wanted her at the same time...utter perfection. I was drawn in by not only their story but the story of the rest of the family. The way that Jolie set up the next book...I'm all for this. She continues to be a master of her craft and I will continue to support her in her dreams. Way to go Jolie!

God dammit Jo!!! I laid claim to Sin just based on looks (shallow I know) but I was not expecting to fall absolutely in love with him!!!!! I've long held Brody & Blayne on a pedestal high above all other hottie Scots and now they've been lovingly replaced by Sin. I didn't think it was possible to fall in love with a fictional Scot but here I am!! Sin and Lottie have a twisted journey to be with each other and I wouldn't have it any other way. Lottie is perfect for Sin (since I can't have him 🤣) and I cannot wait to see what happens next for them.
I'm also usually not a fan of cliffhangers but there's always an exception for you 😉😘 Keep up the glorious work and I can't wait for Scar's tale. -
Oh hell—I need more ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s!! This is one helluva roller coaster ride. It’s dark; it’s sinister; and it has more love in it than a good romance story has. It’s definitely an incredible read!
The storyline is totally kick ass; the characters are unbelievably well developed; the plot twists and turns will keep your head spinning; and while there isn’t a conventional HEA, what you see is what you get…and you’ll definitely need tissues! You absolutely need to grab this book and keep up with the series. It’s absolutely amazing! (I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book and was totally blown away. It’s awesome!!)❤️❤️ -
Oh My Goodness this book is pure FIRE!! 🔥
Absolutely love the dynamic between Lottie and Sin, and reading every twist and turn that follows them and our newest Scottish Family on their journey. Every chapter is packed full of emotion, excitement and an absolute page turner!
I am completely hooked on this newest series and already eagerly waiting for ANY news on when I can get my hands on the next Jolie Vines book to binge read.
