Guilty until proven innocent.
That’s the way the world works, right?
I’m tired of being convicted without evidence, all because my last name is Gable.
The Riscoffs might own this town, but I’m done following their rules.
If only I could forget just how easily Lincoln Riscoff can drag me under his spell.
Okay, here we go! This book starts out right where we left off in Richer Than Sin. I was totally sucked into this new Meghan March world where two very different families co-exist in the town of Gable, and do not exactly live in perfect harmony. This book is told in dual points of view in past and present and flows well. It takes us back for more understanding, but also propels the story forward. It gives us answers, but also more questions and surprises. Lincoln and Whitney have such a strong connection and attraction, but also so much negative history and so many external forces against them.
Whitney Gable is a runner. But no matter how much she tries to avoid her problems, they seem to find her. She seems to constantly be under scrutiny and the threat of scandal. It has been easy to fall in with all of the negativity and pain. But enough is enough and she is beginning to realize that she has to start looking for the positive, let go of the past, and to stand up for herself in order to dictate her own future.
Lincoln Riscoff has made mistakes mostly due to his own trust issues. But when he cannot really even trust his own family, it is understandable. His quick judgment has had consequences, and he is aware he also needs to find a way to make it up to her if he wants her in his life. But he is also dealing with some significant issues with his family and business.
But no matter what they want, it seems like fate is against them. People, circumstances, and their past seem to get in the way whenever they start to get a glimmer of hope.
There is so much going on in this trilogy as the past and present collide with many moving pieces and variables. It keeps you completely invested as the stories continue to unravel. But there is still plenty more to uncover. I really like Whitney and Lincoln individually and together. If they could just exist in a bubble protected from the disapproving and constantly changing outside world, they could be good together. Lincoln can be sweet, sexy, and swoony. And Whitney is caring and smart, but has been beat down by others. In their little glimpses of happiness, he makes her feel worthy. They both show more self awareness and character growth in this middle installment, but they are also surrounded by constant chaos and issues.
This brings the angst, drama, and frustration, along with the twists, surprises, and sweet and sexy moments. I really HATE some of the antagonists, while there are some other side characters I really like. I cannot wait to see what the final installment holds for all of them. There are still some unresolved situations, questions that need answers, and some more to deal with. I so want this couple to be able to navigate all the external drama in their lives and finally find true happiness. They have dealt with ten years of secrets, omissions, lies, misunderstandings, pain, and interference. They deserve it! But they still have a lot to overcome, and so many more chances for things to go wrong.

As the middle of a trilogy this surprised me - I may have loved it even more than the first. Furthering the complexity of the star crossed lovers that was alluded to in Richer Than Sin, Guilty As Sin adds depth and richness to these characters and their story. Mixing past and present, more answers about their entwined past are revealed while even more questions arise. Whitney Gable isn’t used to standing her ground. Though her family has been in Gable for generations, her personal MO is to run when things don’t go her way. But through a series of conversations, she begins to realize running hasn’t solved anything and that doing something different might actually work this time.
Lincoln Riscoff has a hard time trusting anyone, and the hits just seem to keep coming with his trust issues. Every time he thinks he knows the motives of those around him, the ground shakes beneath him and surprises him again.
I was amazed at the number of twists and turns Whitney and Lincoln’s story continues to take. Normally, the middle of a trilogy like this is not my favorite part. But this one adds so much to the overall story that even not having closure to their story yet only kept me wanting more.
The side characters in Guilty As Sin have me either loving or hating them, and frankly there are more that I can’t stand. These are not easy families to like, and the individuals within them hold an epic grudge.
This book is filled with drama, angst, and tension similar to a good old fashioned soap opera. There is always something new revealed about the characters and their pasts, and anticipation rarely wanes as the drama continues. I read this as fast as I could while still holding on to the chemistry between Lincoln and Whitney, because even as everything happens around them and they must face questions about motives and trust, these was never a dull moment as I turned the pages.

Our 5 star reviews
From New York Times bestselling author Meghan March comes a brand new saga of forbidden love and second chances.
A Riscoff and a Gable can never live happily ever after. Our family feud is the stuff of legends.
Ten years ago, Whitney Gable caught me off guard with her long legs and grab-you-by-the-balls blue eyes.
I didn’t know or care what her name was.
Like any Riscoff worth the family name, I went after what I wanted. We burned like a flash fire until she married another man.
She hates me, and she should.
I objected on her wedding day.
Now she’s home, with those same long legs and man-eater stare, but there’s no ring on her finger.
They say a Riscoff and a Gable can never live happily ever after . . . but I’m not done with Whitney Gable.
I’ll never be done with her.
Reveling in Sin (Sin #3)
Release Day: October 23, 2018
Whitney Gable is the kind of woman you fight to the death to protect.
To keep.
To cherish.
I’ve finally learned my lesson, and it’s time to prove I’m the man who’s worthy of her.
I don’t care what it takes, because failure is not an option.
No matter who or what stands in our way—this time, she’ll be mine forever.
