5.0 out of 5 stars A New Romance Reader!, April 21, 2002

Sin, by first time novelist Crystal Rhodes, has made a romance reader of me. This powerful love-story, filled with descriptive passages, put me at the heart of the love affair between Nedra and Sin. I became so caught up that for a moment I became Nedra! I felt her dismay when she was criticized about the affair with the love of her life. I could really relate to all the turmoil and confusion that the had to contend with in her congregation. But I was satisfied with the ending. I applaud Ms. Rhodes and am eagerly awaiting her next release.

This review is from: Sin (Indigo: Sensuous Love Stories) (Paperback)

Nedra was a pastor of Mt. Zion church and knew it was hard to be a prominent woman preacher. Her mother a pastor herself, always told her she had an image to uphold. Nedra did a good job at keeping men at arms length, that is until she met Sin (Sinclair Reasoner). She couldn't help but notice how fine this man was. She tried to deny her attraction to him. She did a good job, but he kept popping up everywhere. She decided she needed a vacation and went to Lake Tahoe and who does she run into Sin.

Sin knew Nedra when she was volunteering during one of her summer vacations from college. He decided to start his import/export business in California and who does he see in the paper Nedra. He had always thought she was an attractive woman. He had come to her with two young boys who tried to steal his car. Sin being from the streets himself knew how dangerous it could be for young boys. He wanted her to find them a home. The attraction to her was electric.

Sin found out that someone wanted Nedra dead because she was driving all of the drug traffic out of the area. He decided to follow her on vacation. Their relationship took off from there.

There is so much to this story, I don't want to give it all away. It was very well written and had you wondering what was going to happen next. The secondary characters added spice to this story as well. Crystal did a good job with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love is not Sin, February 17, 2002

This review is from: Sin (Indigo: Sensuous Love Stories) (Paperback)

Is love a sin? Was love not meant to be shared and enjoyed
by all? Sin by Crystal Rhodes is a wonderful read that touches
you with sincere understanding of two people desire to fight
that, which is natural, love.

Reverend Nedra Davis has worked hard to establish a large
following at her church, Mount Peter. She has been labeled
the "Anti-Drug Queen" because of the work she has been
doing removing drugs from the community. Reverend Nedra
has also made some very sinister people angry with her
anti-drug mission because she is interfering with their
profits.

Sinclair Reasoner is a man who keeps much of everything
to himself. A product of the streets and having to raise
himself because of his mother's drug addiction, he is not
proud of some of the things he has had to do to survive
while growing up. However, with determination, he has now
established himself as a business man being in control
and of his own.

Sin, as he is called by many, comes to Reverend Nedra in
hopes that she will be able to find a good home for two
boys, Colin and Trevor Johnson, whom he confronts while
the older one is trying to steal his car radio. Instead
of turning them into the police, he opted to take them
home and talk to their mother only to find the deployable
conditions the boys live in and the obvious signs that
their mother was and have not always been around. Sin
learns quickly that their mother is a drug addict. The
older boy was stealing to feed himself and his brother.
Sin feels obligated to help them find a good home where
they will be properly cared for. After reading and hearing
about the good work Reverend Nedra has been doing at
Mount Peter, Sin feels that this is the best place for him
to seek help for Colin and Trevor.

The moment he meets and discuss with Reverend Nedra about
Colin and Trevor's living conditions and the unknown
whereabouts of their mother, he instantly realizes that
there is more to Reverend Nedra then just being a minister.
Sin also soon learns that Reverend Nedra's life is threatened
because of the work she is doing to rid the community of
drugs. Unbeknown to Reverend Nedra and Sin, they are about
to collide on a very unique obstacle course of finding love,
trust, and faith with each other. They will also face intense
suspense, intrigue and force to make some difficult decisions
that will affect their lives forever. The tides of time,
defining love, and accepting who they are and how they feel
will be put to the test several times for both as the grim
reaper waits in the wings. The outcome is something you
will not expect.

When I first started reading this book, it immediately held
my attention, because the storyline was very different
then others in a romantic sort of way. I applaud Ms. Rhodes
for developing this storyline for us to really take
a hard look at each other and judge not, but understand
and learn from each other in the process. Love is for

everyone.
