Decent, but I'm glad it's done.
Finally! After hundreds of pages of fluff and drama, we've finally come to the conclusion. Sin and Bleu are married, expecting, and are buying a house together. Bleu is learning how to be the wife of the leader of a crime syndicate while trying to deal with a whole heap of medical issues, trying to find her mother's murderer, and trying to bring the women of The Fellowship into the twentieth century by offering them self-defense classes and job opportunities that don't involve having sex with any Fellowship brother who demands it. She's bounced back pretty quickly from her father's death, although, to be fair, she does have a lot of friends to help her through it.As usual, the book is full of inconsistencies that boggle the mind. The biggest one in this installment is Sin's adopted uncle, Abram. Abram has been serving as The Fellowship's number two leader for years now, holding the space until Sin is ready to take up the reins and lead with his father, the current number one leader. Everyone in their little community seems to be fully aware that Abram is a potential psychopath, is power-hungry, and has no intention of letting go of the position he currently occupies. The Fellowship has a motto that is repeated several times throughout the series, "After the first betrayal, there is no other." What that means, basically, is that if someone betrays The Fellowship or one of its members, the betrayer dies. Period. However, Abram has spent all of his time in the last three books trying to kill Bleu, trying to get Sin to betray Bleu, publicly humiliating Bleu, etc. He is forgiven each and every time, because of reasons. For a bunch of hardened criminals, I found it really unrealistic for them to allow this kind of behavior to go on and on and on, no matter who it might be. Abram doesn't get his until he finally threatens to murder Sin's children.We also had a rather bizarre situation where Bleu's sister Ellison shows up unexpectedly in Edinburgh, and circumstances force Sin and Bleu to tell her all about The Fellowship. It's made painfully clear that outsiders either need to become members or they need to die, but by the end of the third book, these supposed hardened criminals are allowing Ellison to hang out and attend Fellowship events while she figures out what she wants to do, although that's supposedly against the rules. It was weird. The author also spent an oddly large amount of time in this series harping on Ellison's former love interest and his bisexuality.All in all, the story was decent, even with the inconsistencies and irritations. I liked it enough to finish the series, even with the despised cliffhanger endings, the bizarre harping on non-traditional relationships, and the spartan writing style. However, this author isn't one that I'll be looking for in the future.

Very disappointed with no real conclusions for characters
I am sad to say how disappointed I was with the final installment of this series. I truly enjoyed the first two books but I felt this one was just lacking. Bleu's sister just shows up in Edinburg to complicate the situation. We have the storyline including Lorna and Leith which is never resolved. We don't know what happens with Bleu's sister, Ellie, or Jamie, I feel like so many things were left unresolved that it ended leaving me feeling like we were left hanging. I didn't care about the colors they were going to paint the walls or about the decorations for the ceremony, I wanted to know what happened to all these characters that were part of the storyline for so long. It felt like the author just wanted to finish the story and didn't think about how we as readers would feel about so much unfinished business.

3.75 stars-read the series in order
3.75 stars---ONE LAST SIN is the third and final installment in Georgia Cates’s adult, contemporary The Sin Trilogy erotic romance series focusing on former FBI Special Agent Bleu MacAllister (now Bleu Breckenridge), and heir to the Scottish Fellowship Crime syndicate Sinclair Breckenridge. As Bleu continues her search for the person responsible for her mother’s murder, Sinclair takes official control of the crime family he was born to lead. Once again, because this is a trilogy, the books should be read in order. The first two installments end on a cliff hanger.NOTE: If you have not read the previous installments, there may be some spoilers in my review.Told from alternating first person points of view (Bleu and Sin) the focus of the storyline follows Sinclair Breckenridge as he searches for his missing wife. As two warring Scottish mob families fight for control, a pregnant Bleu Breckenridge becomes a pawn; imprisoned by The Order while her husband struggles to free himself from jail. Upon Bleu’s rescue, Sin will assert his power and leadership, letting The Order know who is in control. Unbeknownst to Bleu, her younger sister arrives for a long term visit-the sister who is completely oblivious to Bleu’s original plan and her connections to the Scottish mob. As Blue and Sin tread lightly around Bleu’s sister, the ‘family’ makes preparations for an upcoming war.The relationship between Bleu and Sin continues to be loving and protective. The Order has decried revenge for the death of their heir, and has set their sights on destroying the Scottish Fellowship Crime syndicate by targeting Bleu and Sin. Sin’s uncle Abram continues his plans to destroy Bleu and places his nephew in a position from which there is no return. Someone will die; and a family will mourn.All of the supporting characters return from the previous installments wherein a number of secondary storylines play out to resolution while one in particular has yet to be resolved. Sin’s former best friend Leith destroys any hope for a happily ever after with the woman that he loves breaking Lorna’s heart and spirit in the process- I suspect a spin off series is on the horizon. There is also a slight cross over connection between Georgia Cates’s BEAUTY series with a reference to the fictional country band Southern Ophelia.There is one issue I would like to address from ONE LAST SIN and the Sin Trilogy as a whole. A majority of the storyline action and focus from Sinclair’s POV including mob business, revenge, betrayal, violence and retribution takes place ‘behind the scenes’. The reader is excluded and never privy to many details - and in this I felt left out; forgotten; and overlooked. I had a similar issue with the author’s BEAUTY series wherein some of the troubles surfacing for Jack McLaughlin never completely came to the reader’s attention. I understand the romantic focus is on the leading couple, but much of what transpired in the background directly affected the storyline premise and it is the small details that add color and excitement. Most of the violence and graphic imagery is implied and left to the reader’s imagination.ONE LAST SIN is an entertaining and engaging story; The Sin Trilogy will captivate and delight with its’ charismatic leading hero and the woman that he loves. There are moments of betrayal and revenge; heartbreak and pain; drama and passion wherein family is not always about blood but about the people who love you at the end of the day.

The 3rd book in the series is an absolute treasure! I was yanked into the story and held there even when I wasn't reading. A real gem!
A compelling story about love, honesty and respect These qualities are stirred into this steamy suspense romance. Bleu and Sin don't have sex, they make wild passionate love.The tale is panty melting, sob worthy experience of an honest, genuinely perfect couple and their growing family, is realistic and true. The pregnancy and birth of twins will transport parents, family and friends to reflect on the joys and difficulties of raising infants and children! (At times difficult to read throught tears and personal memories). It was so authentic I relived the wonder and joy of the birth of my own children! A beautiful and loving reflection of what love and chidren bring to a family. Of course the front story brings the anger and fear of psychopaths, serial killers, lust for revenge and unflinching heartache. This masterpiece of storytelling (in conjunction with books 1 and 2 ) empowers the audience to join in the journey! A remarkably emotional and satisfying experience

awesome
Really enjoyed reading this book. all action and would never have guessed the killer shock. But Sin and Bleu life had so many twist and turns it's a wonder they had time for them selves.When blue was in danger she never gave up her strength and will power made her live after the kidnaping, and then her sister shows up and she starts lying.Its based in Edinburgh about gangster turf war and who is in there circle it really is a good book to read never got boring and always on the edge of my seat.

Outstanding
What a great third book. I so love Bleu and Sin as a couple. I really thought that Bleu would have found out what Sin done to her father. Everything worked out great for the Scottish couple. Let's see what adventures will happen in the next book.

fabulous ending for sin and bleu
Wow I can't believe its over. My heart was pounding from the get go of this book and the twists, turns and characters plots keep the fast paced action going to the end. Loved it. Feels so strange to actually understand the fellowship and how easily bleu feels towards a it and passionately wants change for the women. Fab.
