A recent one-night stand wreaks havoc and turns his present completely upside
down. He’s faced with a reality that he never expected. Never wanted.
Samantha Weston can’t escape the black
cloud that follows her. She suffered an unspeakable loss as a teenager and has
been climbing uphill ever since. As soon as her life starts to become
manageable, she’s slammed with another tragic event, forcing her to abandon the
only thing in life that she cherishes.
A heartbreaking situation throws this
unlikely pair together. They’re forced to face things that seem impossible. Can
Sam get past the demons that haunt her? Can Garrett accept a fate he swore to
avoid at all costs?
Can they conquer the sins that are poised
to destroy them, or will they become an Epic Fail?
Epic Sins is the first book of the Epic
Fail series, a spinoff of The Forever Family series.

Rating: ★★★★★
Reviewer: Diane
This is my 5 incredible star review for
Epic Sins by Trudy Stiles. I received this ARC in exchange for an honest
review. This is a book that I was looking forward to read. I will be very
cryptic with my review because I would hate to spoil this fabulous story for
other readers. I want the review to be vague enough that the reader
doesn't feel like he's already read the book before actually having read it.
But interesting enough where you really want to read it. Trudy's stories
are written a certain way, where the reader is kept guessing until she's ready
to reveal the punch line of the story. That's what makes her stories
interesting, entertaining, engaging and addictive.
Sam is a 23 year old nurse who loves her
job very much and is very passionate about it. She has lost so much in the past
and in a traumatic way. She never lost herself, in the contrary, it
shaped her into the young woman she is now. She is who she is because of
her past. She dedicates her life into helping others. She's a
survivor, protector, loving and independent kind of woman.
Garrett is a self-centred rock star.
Let's say he plays the role real well. I didn't really like him
very much at first. He got me very frustrated. But he proved me
wrong by stepping up to the plate. He was scared and reacted on it.
Then circumstances intervenes where they have to be together. Sam opens
his eyes to what's important and where his priorities must lay. Eventually he
will change and become a better person and care more for others. They
will grow closer and fall in love. Then there is a twist where Sam can't
seem to overcome. Will she be able to get past it?
I truly enjoyed this brilliant,
compelling story. It's about love, lost, family and finding ones way.
It's a very emotional book. This story has heart. Have some Kleenex
handy. Trudy has a unique way to tell a story. It had been a while
since I had read a book written by her. She goes from a present dual POV
to different time periods in a past dual POV. At first, I was kind of
wondering why she is doing that. I realized that it's important to the
story and that's the major key to the developments in this book. She
wants us to be intrigued until the very last page. What I also liked was
that the story was not centred on Garrett’s rock stars ways.
It's beautifully written, the pace was
right, the concept and the plot was well thought out. The words jumped from the
page to latch on to my heart and soul until the very end. Being a nurse myself,
I related well to this fabulous story. Very difficult to put down once I
started reading it. I couldn't help but feel all their emotions and
feelings through these characters.
This a standalone book told via dual POV.
There is no cliff-hanger and as an HEA. I strongly recommend this
book, trust me it will worth your precious time and money. A great start
towards a potential great series. I also want to recommend the Forever
Family Series. They don't have to be read first in order to savor this
book. I can't wait for Epic Lies and Epic Love.
