The Sinner by Dannika Dark is the fifth book in the Black Arrowhead series set in the same world as the Seven series, Crossbreed series and Mageri series. Narrated by Nicole Poole, Dark, gives us the story of Cecilia and Archer. A chance encounter delivers a second chance romance with suspense, laughter and heart.

"She had wrecked him, body and soul."

An addictive romantic thriller in the Black Arrowhead series.

Cecilia is an introvert who rarely leaves the house, but she must overcome her fears in order to sell her late father's extensive book collection. When she encounters a handsome wolf from her past, her world turns upside down. She can't seem to escape him, and the secret they share could destroy her life.

Archer Swift is a Casanova who doesn't believe in love. That is, until he bumps into a mysterious woman he never expected to see again. Cecilia is generous, sweet, and doesn't treat him differently because of his disability. She's also taken. When he becomes pals with her charismatic boyfriend, he discovers things aren't what they seem. Now Archer must uncover the truth before it's too late.

Two strangers are thrown together by chance, but can their love survive the clutches of a monster?

Love takes courage.

After a one-night stand, a disabled Shifter and an abuse victim find their lives intersecting in this powerful opposites-attract romance about trust, family, and the courage to leave the past behind.

Full confession, Dannika Dark takes up a lot of space on my Audible App. I have devoured all of her series. I began with Seven and never looked back. While each of the series takes place in the same world, giving a familiarity to the magic, packs, and other supernaturals, each series holds its own and sometimes we see beloved characters again. I highly recommend listening to the Black Arrowhead series in order as we watch this pack form and bond.

Archer Swift isn’t really the type you think of as mate material. He is a player, a little crass and doesn’t believe in love. He thinks back fondly about the one who got away. Everything changed when a chance encounter brings him face to face with Cecilia again.

Cecilia is an introvert, and I connected with her. She isn’t in a good relationship, so be aware if domestic violence and emotional abuse trigger you. Dark did a great job of showing her vulnerability. There is a little miscommunication between Archer and Cecilia regarding the past, and I enjoyed watching their romance unfold. The relationship unfolds slowly, with Cecilia’s safety and happiness being addressed first.

Of course, the pack is there and I love the way this motley crew of loners and outcasts have come together as a family. They are supportive and protective of the underdog. We have moments that a serious, suspense, laughter, swoons and good food. Great pacing and an addictive tale kept me listening waaay past my bedtime. It was well worth the extra coffee required the next day.

Nicole Poole narrates as she does all of Dark’s audios. I once said Dannika Dark is my drug and Nicole Poole is the dealer…lol This still holds true. She brings these characters to life and allows me to slip into their story.
