Bound by Sin is the third book in the Immortal Brothers series. While is can be read as a standalone, I suggest that you read them in order to get a solid background of the story and characters as the two brothers from the previous stories are supporting characters in this one.
I thought for sure by the third book I'd be getting bored and that the stories would all begin to blend together, however that it NOT the case. While Jaykun does have a lot of similarities to his brothers, Jileana is nothing like any of there leading ladies...and she by far is my favorite so far.
Jileana reminds me a bit like Ariel from the Little Mermaid, she knows nothing of the world that Jaykun lives in and is quite innocent and naive. However, Jileana has this amazing strength about her that is very interesting to watch. There is also a lot of mystery surrounding Jileana and where she comes from, which really keeps you engaged in the story as it unfolds.
Much like the other two book in the series, I found this books storyline to be well thought out and I thought that it flowed nicely. The dialogue I found to flow smoothly and be quite entertaining with Jileana's lack of filter at times. I felt this this book contained way more of sexual component to it since Jileanna was always naked...but that was an added bonus to me.
Bound by Sin has been my favorite book in this series so far. I can't wait to read the final installment of the Immortal Brothers series!

Bound by Sin was a paranormal/fantasy that combined our heroine’s wide-eyed innocence with our hero’s cynical views to give us a romance that encompassed both the good and bad in their worlds.
The idea behind the Immortal Brothers series is an intriguing one: four brothers who are punished for becoming immortal without permission granted by the gods. I think you can easily read each of their stories independently or as part of the quartet and it will still make sense. The dynamic Jacquelyn Frank created between the brothers was actually entertaining, even though a lot of this novel was filled with struggles and war.

The Good: An interesting premise.
The Bad: Stiff narrative, which I was not expecting from Ms. Frank. I liked her Nightwalkers series enough and that was a fairly rich mythology and ‘verse so I had high hopes on this one. Unfortunately, nothing felt natural or flowed well and I wasn’t sure about the relationship between Jileana and Jakun from beginning to end.
I got this in June and I kept trying to read it, but it was super easy to put down. The urge to skim was strong and for a girl who reads, on average, a book a day AND loves paranormal/urban fantasy? It was kind of painful how it took me a reallllllly looooooooong time to get through this.
Everything In Between: It’s the third in a series, which I didn’t know when I picked this up, so I want to give it the benefit of the doubt that perhaps it would have helped to have started from the beginning with this series.
Did not work for me. It’s not my cuppa, but this may be a series that needs to be read from the beginning. That said, I just don’t see myself going back for the earlier books or continuing with it.
