I wasn’t given a choice. Not when I did my first line of cocaine. Not when I became a single mother. But I changed, and every decision I’ve made was to protect myself and my son from my weaknesses—and my past.
Until Jude came along and made me question everything, even my own secrets.
The sins I carry with me can never be discovered. Life handed me broken bits of people and left me to construct my own world, and it’s too fragile to take a chance on Jude Mercer.
We write our own stories.
We build our own prisons.
We weave our own lies.
We commit the sins that bind us.
Review
Geneva Lee provides an insightful look into the world of addiction, sins, forgiveness, and redemption. She takes these contradictory ideas and forces her readers to see the many sides and types of dependency, which when investigated closely, regardless of form, illustrate how they easily destroy, taint, and harm those addicted and those who try to help curb those desires.
The Sins that Bind Us personifies the effects of misdeeds on everyone involved. The title speaks to the idea that vices are far reaching and they show no bias towards who they can and will affect, and while the idea of being bound to someone usually connotes a positive connection when addiction, lies, mistakes, and misdeeds are the ropes that tie people together, what usually is created is nothing but feelings of shame, guilt, devastation, and brokenness.
Faith and Grace – two abstract ideas full of light, but in this story, what they represent are two lost girls who find solace in the wrong places, which ends up destroying who and what they are and creating two people who can no longer identify the truth from the lies and seem trapped by a past that will never free them nor offer a future of anything but burdens and atoning for sins that may never be forgiven.
In The Sins that Bind Us, Geneva Lee takes on the difficult topic of addiction and demonstrates how fragile and human people are, illustrating how easily they can be consumed by wants that become needs and pretty lies that become ugly truths. Lee also offers hope that pasts can be faced and let go of, even if it’s taxing and burdensome to do so because atonement and forgiveness hopefully allow those sins to no longer carry the weight they once did.

Excerpt
“Maybe he was already as tightly wound as me, but I can’t help but squirm under his possessive stare. I ignite that ferocity. I’m the storm that unsettles the peaceful blue pools of his irises. And realizing that vanquishes my fear. Because I’ve undone this man.”
“I want to say something but my mouth is empty. Before I can find words his lips find mine instead. He crashes against me, and I’m powerless against his force. He’s washing me out into the unknown and I don’t care if I drown.
My body shapes to his as his hand slides under my ass, lifting me from my feet. I coil around him, instinctively pressing the core of my want against his groin. A low growl vibrates through him and his arms bind me closer.
I want as much of him as he’ll give me. It’s the only need I’m capable of processing and I open to him, allowing his tongue to stroke across my teeth and then massage over mine. It’s an invitation and I RSVP by tangling my fingers into his hair. I grip it tightly, desperate to possess him as fully as he has me.”
When he backs into the kitchen table, we both spring into action, unbuttoning and unbuckling as quickly as our impatient fingers allow. Wiggling off my jeans, I return my attention to his body. I trail my palm over the swirling black ink and then I lunge forward and sink my teeth into his skin.
“Christ, Sunshine,” he grunts, but before I can register it as a complaint, he’s pushed me flat against the table and unsnapped my bra. I move to slide it off and my wrist knocks over a box of crayons.
Our eyes lock as they scatter to the floor and before I can raise the white flag, I’m back in his arms. Jude kicks open the door leading to the garage.
“I’ll fix it later,” he promises, sweeping me out the door. Twirling me around, he barricades it with our bodies. “Hold on.”
“I wrap my arms around his shoulders and cling to him as he frees his dick. I feel its heat prod against my belly. His whiskers scratch against my cheek as his mouth slants toward my neck. “I can’t be patient,” he warns me.
“Don’t be,” I beg.
He doesn’t need coaxing. His hand slips between my thighs and shoves my panties to the side. My bare back smacks against the wood as he thrusts into me. Jude’s chest smashes against my breasts as his weight overwhelms me. I lose myself to the rhythm. To the crash and the ebb. There is only each stroke, and the glorious, violent inevitability of being abandoned and filled.”
