What happens when the one you want is the only one you can't have?
My name is Sevin.
Homeschooled and sheltered by my ultra-religious family, I was always taught that lust was a sin.
Elle was the girl who'd been carefully chosen for me.
After a long-distance courtship, I'd be moving into her family's guesthouse so that we could get to know each other in the months before the wedding.
Boundaries were set: no inappropriate touching, no kissing, no sex before marriage.
I'd accepted those rules and my fate.
Until I met the one I wanted to sin with.
That was when restraint became a problem...especially since THE ONE wasn't Elle.
It was her sister, Evangeline.
You know what they say about best laid plans.
My name is Sevin, and I have sinned.
Told in alternating points of view, Sins of Sevin is a full-length standalone novel.
Contains graphic sexual content and harsh language.
Only appropriate for adult readers
age 18+.

Excerpt
SINS OF SEVIN EXCERPT
Copyright © 2015 by Penelope Ward
He quietly followed me into the dining room, carrying the flatware. The tension in the air was thick as he walked behind me around the oval table, setting down silverware after each plate I’d put down. It was like some weird game of musical chairs where awkward silence replaced the music. The hairs on my back stiffened. We weren’t saying anything, but it was as if I could feel the weight of a thousand words along with the heat of his body so close behind me.
When I noticed he’d just put a fork where the spoon was supposed to go, I switched it. “The forks go on this side, actually.” My hand was shaking. I couldn’t believe how little control I had over myself.
Noticing my nerves, he suddenly placed his hand over mine and whispered, “Stop.”
Chills ran through me. My heart started to beat faster. My nipples hardened. I hated my body for responding to him with equal amounts of fear and lust.
I turned to him, his hand still over my knuckles. It felt like I couldn’t breathe as he just looked at me.
My mother’s footsteps caused Sevin to move his hand off mine with lightning speed.
Mama entered, and we continued setting the table as if our stolen moment hadn’t happened.
Review by Cassie Hoffman
Sevin is an absolutely great book. With lot's of twist and turns, as well as a few shocks.
"I only sin when I’m with you, Sevin. What does that say?”- Evangeline
When Sevin is offered an opportunity of a lifetime, he can't pass it up. It's finally away to leave his town and stepmother. But there is one condition, he has to marry Elle. Elle's father needs someone to one day run the family business, in return he marries the daughter. It's an modern day courtship story, but with pain and heartache.
When a girl on a bike gets Sevin's attention, all will change for both of them. See, she just isn't any girl, she's his soon-to-be sister in law, Evangeline. There is a connection that both can't forget about, but they can't do anything about it. He's taken for, soon to be married.
But sometimes life has plan's that we don't even understand, and these two will forever be changed in so many ways.
Sevin by Penelope Ward is a story that has all in it. There is love, friendship, forbidden romance, heartache, lost, forgiving and finding each other. This story spans quite a few year's. We get to see it all. Their relationship isn't one that will make a reader feel nasty, it's anything but. Sometimes fate intervenes, and with Sevin and Evangeline, she does. All you want is for them to get their happily ever after, but is it even possible... there is so much standing in their way. I absolutely can't wait for a follow-up book. I'm desperately hoping we get one.
What happens when you basically enter into an arranged
marriage, but it’s with the wrong sister?
This is exactly what happened to Sevin.
Sevin lost his mother when he was a baby. His father remarried to an ultra Christian
woman. When I first started reading
this, and got to the rules of courtship, I automatically thought of the
Duggars.
Sevin rebelled, but when his father died, he had to change
his live and get away from his step mom.
He moves to Kansas to marry Elle, but falls in love with
Evangeline.
They couldn’t hurt Elle though.
“It was just unfortunate that the one woman who made me feel
alive was the only person in the world I couldn’t have.”
Sevin feels, and he think, he’s being punished for all of
his sins.
I really felt for Sevin, especially the last half of the
book. He is an amazing guy. Things just didn’t work out for him.
Or for Evangeline.
They truly loved each other.
They planned to be together, but a horrible accident changed everything
for them.
“I have so much love inside me that’s all yours, and it’s
been trapped inside. I need to give it
to you, because holding it in is killing me.
I know your heart belongs to me.
But I’m selfish. I want all of
you. I want your body before you run
away from me again. Because I promise
you, once we’re connected, you’re gonna know that we were meant for each
other. Unless you tell me not to, I’m
gonna take you. Right here. Right now, Evangeline.”
Evangeline punishes herself for her sins with Sevin.
I honestly didn’t know how things would work out and end up
for either of them.
This is such a great read!
It’s been awhile since I was left with a book hangover, and this book
left me with one.
