Lessons In Sin is technically a standalone but it is part of a series by a group of authors “Midnight Dynasty ” that is connected to the Cinderella trilogy by K. Webster. This series features the Winston and Morelli family which has been put together by Dangerous Press. So what really drew me to really read this one is seeing so many in the booktube and bookstagram community really rave about this book. I do not mind some taboo like this (there is some taboo that I REFUSE to read) but I honestly get so fascinated by this type of taboo and it wasn’t handled by how you normally would expect. I wasn’t always drawn to the youngest in the Morelli family, Tinsley. She makes such a feature in the Cinderella trilogy by K Webster (which I did read and review last year) and I will say that in many ways this book blew my mind. I had so much love for this book and in the depths that it conveys to the reader. It’s definitely for readers that don’t mind delving into taboos like this, or edgier contemporary. It does feature mafia families, however, that isn’t part of the plot at all except for Tinsley’s connection to them. Summary Godwin weaves themes of temptation, seduction, honor, and salvation with profound talent and emotion. A sinfully delicious and utterly captivating read." - Adriane Leigh, USA Today bestselling author So our story begins when Tinsley is sent to a Catholic boarding school for the more elite upper-class students, it also has a more specific educational regime that is catered to each student while offering discipline and structure. When Tinsley is found doing a blowjob to a boy her age, her mother is furious as Tinsley’s future is already mapped out as she is practically betrothed to a son of another high-up family. Her mother forces her to attend this school and she will be under the tutelage of the head priest and headmaster….Magnus Falke. Magnus is much older than Tinsley but not as old as she would have expected, but there is also a sensual charm to his looks and demeanor that draws the eye of every young woman in the school. Tinsley is furious at her mother, and her first meeting with Magnus doesn’t show too well but from the beginning, there is a level of angst and attraction between Magnus and Tinsley. But a relationship between them is forbidden. As Tinsley keeps acting out, Magnus only wants to punish her and delve into some of his darker desires. Even though their love and passion is forbidden in all respects, sometimes the taste of that forbidden fruit is the most delectable of all…

Isaiah 6:8 says, “And I heard the voice of the LORD saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?’ Then I said, ‘Here I am! Send me.’” I could’ve made a dozen different choices that didn’t fuse her fate with mine. But I didn’t. I couldn’t. This was happening. Not because I’d planned it. But because it was destined. We were inevitable. I hadn’t been called to be a priest. I’d been called to be hers My Review First Impressions Rather than seek a position of leadership or power, we should instead seek to serve others. This follows the model that Jesus Christ lived out in His life and it is how we submit ourselves to His example and commandment consistently preached through the Gospels. Lessons in Sins succeeded on incorporating the most important part of fiction, using the concept of taboo to show the beauty of imperfection and the pleasuring aftermath of overcoming our sins. Though the preferred audience is adults for its mature themes, the exclusive moral of the story is forgiveness and recognizing one’s flaws, and it could apply to anyone in our society! Romans 12:3 says, “For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.”Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” As Father Magnus Falke, I suppress my cravings. As the headteacher of a Catholic boarding school, I’m never tempted by a student. Until her... But their sacrifices paid off in the end. Tinsley became successful, and Father Magnus quit being a priest, proving well enough that he deserved her by buying the company of Tinsley’s fiancee. Nothing could separate them now, only the discipline they hold from craving too much of each other. The blow job with Robby Howard hadn’t been my first. He was just another new guy in town, a college freshman attending the nearby university. He didn’t know he wasn’t allowed to touch me.

Corinthians 9:7 says, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” Job may have questioned why God allowed tragedy to strike his life, but he did not curse God openly or accuse Him of causing evil directly. This should ring true for all of us as well. God never tempts us, but promises to deliver us out of temptation. God does not bring about evil but is the solution to the problem of evil and the remedy for every pain we suffer.In the Bible, the word sin – whether it is in the Hebrew or the Greek – actually means to miss the mark. The reason this definition is so important is because it points to two things. First, there is a target we are aiming at, and second it speaks to our intention. Once we know there is a target, then we can choose to hit it or to miss it. I wanted to crush on boys, wear my own clothes, and live a normal life. Why was that too much to ask? The target is God’s word or commands and when we miss this target, we have committed sin. What makes something sinful is when we know what we are supposed to do and we choose not to do it, then we are engaging in sin. For something to be sinful, we must be aware that it violates what God desires us to do. This is not always determined by a written code, but is also evident by the moral code that God has placed in every man’s heart. For example, when Cain killed Abel, there was no written law that said you should not murder, but the moral code of not committing murder was written in Cain’s heart. What Does the Bible Say about Sin? What you must also be aware of is that your sin does not just affect your life, it affects other people’s lives as well. The greater the influence you have, the greater the impact of your sin. This doesn’t mean the sin you committed was greater, it just means it affected more people.

The sound of my footsteps echoed through the old, empty classroom as I paced along the wall of windows. Beyond the glass, the sun descended into the mountains, casting the school grounds in shades of lavender. It would’ve been a majestic view if not for the bars.Ephesians 6:13 says, “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.”
