Ultimate Sins

Set in a small town where three young cousins are left alone whe

Set in a small town where three young cousins are left alone when their families are all murdered. The young men grow up on the fringes of society raised by an uncle who eventually dies too leaving the cousins with only each other to depend on. They become the target of a serial rapist and killer who begins slaying every woman the young men have a relationship with. By the time this novel comes along in the series, everyone has just discovered who the killer is, and the hunt is on.The latest Callahan Sins (see Secret Sins) is an edgy over the top of the Rocky Mountains romantic suspense in which newbies will be lost and returnees need a scorecard to keep track of the Cecil B. DeMille size cast. For Sins fans only, at times the heated sexual interludes that melt the mountaintop snow intrude on the anticipated showdown between father and lover. As always with Lora Leigh's books, it kept me awake until I finished it!These two characters suffer and endure a lot throughout the three books, so the end deserved to be sweet. I just wish there had been more mention of the family. And of course, I can't wait for Amara and Rory. This book did not disappoint me and was exactly as it should end the series... Lora is becoming one of my favorite authors.

Wow! This was a hard hitting story. This grabbed me and took me

Wow! This was a hard hitting story. This grabbed me and took me for an erotic horror story ride. Keep this out of the reach of children! I missed the first books so it took a bit to catch up. Crowe was military. He lived in a town with a serial killer. His girlfriend was helping him find information. He had to leave town and Amelia was abused for it. This was a hard book to read. It was a lot deeper than I expected but it was a good book. Lora has another good book in her series. There is a lot if sex so be prepared.

Good

It's ok but bad editing. Also I do love a good sex in a book but sometimes it's just a little much and this one is definitely one of them :-)

I've been waiting for this book for what seems like forever. So

I've been waiting for this book for what seems like forever. So as soon as it arrived on my doorstep today, I locked myself in the bedroom and
started reading Ultimate Sins. This book is jam packed with action, suspense, sacrifice, sorrow, serious hot sex, and of course love!
Just when you think you know how a story is going to play out, Lora Leigh puts together so many twists and turns that you are left reeling.
 I absolutely love books and I read constantly, but Ultimate Sins, puts any other book I've read this year to shame.
Every scene is well written and you can tell Lora Leigh put an insane amount of time into this book. Her characters were so detailed
 and at times so heartbreakingly beautiful. Anything I write in this review couldn't possibly come close to how excellent this book really is.
Ultimate Sins is a fantastic, nail biting read and it was definitely worth the wait!

In order to bait a killer and end things once and for all, ex-Ma

In order to bait a killer and end things once and for all, ex-Marine, Crowe Callahan will claim Amelia and now he will have to protect the woman he can’t seem to life without from the deadliest enemies he has ever known in this thrilling romantic suspense.
This fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps readers on the edge of their seat with lots of suspense, drama and romance.  The well written scenes and details inspire vivid images that capture the imagination and the well orchestrated suspense and drama draw the reader deep into the story.  The strong compelling characters grab the reader’s attention, are easily related to and ensure that the reader reads every last word.
Amelia has loved Crowe forever and she has sacrificed a lot to keep him safe and so has Crowe to keep Amelia safe. There is no denying their attraction to each other and the fiery inferno of passion that consumes them with frequent scorching hot sex , but to have a relationship they not only will have to overcome Amelia’s father, they will have to overcome emotional turmoil that has resulted from years of torment for both of them.  Amelia captures the heart with a strength of character that the reader can’t help but to admire and well Crowe may handle things his own way but he has valid reasons.
Spine tingling tension builds as the danger escalates, secrets are revealed, and emotions flare out of control keeping the reader totally caught up in the drama and excitement. I really enjoyed The Callahans’ stories from beginning to end and while they could be read as stand-alone books I highly recommend that they are read in order to get the full impact of the situation and the motivation of the characters. I am also hoping that some of the other characters in their stories will one day have their own stories as well maybe in a Brute Force Securities series….???

Great Series. Love the Callahan's

I would of given 3.5 stars but system would not do it. I read Ultimate Sins. Then I reread the entire series in order, because the timeline and some of the references did not match what I remembered. My memory was correct. Editors should of caught the errors. Simple facts ranging from the Slashers age to weather references. The final scene Kimmy enters wearing boots, turn the page and she's wearing sneakers. Sex scenes are abundant and I'd swear many of the paragraphs are copy and paste. Mind you I'm aware we all buy Lora Leigh books expecting a multitude of enticing sex scenes. Editing of an established well read author should be of better quality. I agree with other reviewers that the characters in the series are great. The series is worth reading. The books are worth buying. It's just that some of the characters personality traits glaringly do not match their psyclogical profiles in a consistant manner. The main two are Amelia's manic changes from a female of strength (yes I'm a J.R. Ward fan) to a wimp and Crowe's never ending love for a female he routinely treats like a worthless piece of humanity interspersed with the author repeatedly stressing the fact that he was raised to protect and care for the innocence of his woman and child. Wayne Sorenson/the Slasher's character and personality also seems to fluctuate along with his age. While I found these issues annoying I wait with anticipation for the next story. Possibly Rory's or Ivan's.

Good story

I have only read two of the books in this series, this being one of them. At times, I was a little confused, but still managed to figure out the characters a story line. I agree with some of the other reviewers, I wish Amelia would have had more of a backbone. With everything she had been through you would have thought she would have been stronger and smarter. I also didn't really understand why Crowe took such a dominant stand with her. The sex is hot, but at times goes a little too far. For some reason this author loves to have her hero obsessively dominate the women in the story. Sometimes it goes a bit too far. All and all a good story and a good wrap up to the series.

3.75 stars--ULTIMATE SINS is the fourth and final instalment in

3.75 stars--ULTIMATE SINS is the fourth and final instalment in Lora Leigh’s contemporary, adult The Callahans erotic romance series focusing on the Callahan Family.  This is ex marine Crowe Callahan and Amelia Sorenson’s storyline that sees retribution and revenge against a serial killer that has targeted everyone the Callahans have ever loved. ULTIMATE SINS sees the culmination of one man’s vendetta against a town and a family he believes owes him everything. Because ULTIMATE SINS is the final instalment of the Callahan ARC I would suggest reading in order for easier understanding and consistency. 
Told from several close personal third person points of view including memories and present day premise, the storyline covers approximately seven years-seven long years that saw Crowe Callahan walk away from the only woman he ever loved leaving her unprotected from a violent and psychotic man who is determined to destroy an entire town.  While Crowe was sent away on assignment with the special ops forces, Amelia was left behind to endure humiliation, abuse and torture but what Crowe never realized is that Amelia did everything to protect the people that she loved. The timeline skips ahead a number of times and what happens during those seven years is important and imparted to the reader when and where necessary.
Crowe is a hardened ex-marine whose personality was less than welcoming. As a controlling, over protective male Crowe is the epitome of alpha marine and a man who would do anything-including murder- to protect the woman that he loves.
Amelia is a woman whose life has been shattered by one man-a man so close that betrayal is considered tame for the sins he has committed against the people of the small town she loves. But Amelia is also a woman, who knows her life is in danger but continues to put herself at risk at every opportunity. She refuses to be held prisoner in her own home even though it is probably the only way to protect her from the evil that has promised retribution and revenge.
The relationship is a second chance at love for two people who have never stopped loving one another. As the Callahan family find themself and everyone they love the victims of a deranged serial killer, Crowe and his cousins begin to unravel the truth behind a psychotic mind. With the help of an anonymous source, the identity of the murderer known as the Slasher will become readily apparent and all too familiar.
As per Lora Leigh’s style of writing, the sex scenes are numerous, graphic and hot. Nothing is off limits between consenting adults and Lora Leigh punches up the sex with graphic language and visual imagery. There are some sex scenes of questionable consent.
The secondary characters include the Callahan cousins, law enforcement, friends, spiteful townsfolk and a psychopath set on revenge and death. As with the end of any series arc there is the introduction and hint at what is to come and Rory may be getting his storyline next.
ULTIMATE SINS is a story of suspense, romance, sex and love. Lora Leigh’s imagination knows no boundaries and she takes the reader along for a roller coaster ride towards the final reveal.

Three stars but..

I have bought and read everyone of lora leigh's books as a 'buy on release' because i always thought they were well written. However, recently I've had to change my mind. I'll still buy her books but I'll make sure to check the characters out first.

I like romances and conflicts and I've read all of the books on the dangers to the Callaghans leading up to this one. I've also read about Amelia in a previous book and was looking forward to her story.

This book was a let down for me because even though Amelia was strong and courageous enough to help save several of the people in her community and put herself in countless dangers to protect Crowe Callaghan and after all the beatings over the years and broken bones, throughout the main part of the book, she is a wimp.

That's right..a wimp. He makes love to her years earlier and then leaves her behind to be abused for years by her father and then by the husband she was forced to marry while he watched her, once in a while, from a distance, when he wasn't sleeping with different women trying to forget her while in the militaty. While she never slept with anyone else ither then her abusive husband and then when Crowe shows back up, he's verbally abusive to her but she turns to putty in his hands in a second.

This happens throughout the book, in the beginning she knows he's only using her to draw out her father but does she treat him coldly our emotionlessly? Nope. He basically crooks his finger and she comes crawling to him with barely a whimper every time.

Another spineless action is getting kicked off the committee she chaired for years and ecen though she didn't have to, she turns over 7 years of her lifes work to the committee with barely a disagreement. Even though her one friend there told hr to refuse. Pathetic. I would have told them to go to hell.

Those are just some of the things i didn't care for with her weaknesses. He was a jerk to her, abandoning her and after abandoning her, he heard that she came looking for him and he sort of knew why, but he didn't check up on her. He treats her like a toy to play with whenever he wants and then berrates her outside of the bedroom, telling her that the only thing that counts is finding her father.

His verbal treatment and abandonment could have balanced out if she stood up to him but she was ALL about keeping him safe and working and thinking of him throughout the years. Yet, while he did work of catching the killer he still lived his life with apparently various women while she kept herself chaste and wished for only him. Pathetic.

Three stars for a great storyline and tying up the ending to this series, but minus two stars for the spineless Amelia when it related to the hardnose Crowe. And the countless 'pulling off the clothes' scenes, which was every other page. I even skipped those after a while because itbecame annoying. He shows up, she knows she should resist him for two seconds but thats it, once he touches her, she's putty.

~sigh~ truly wish she had more of a backbone and kicked his butt for his treatment of her. Three stars.

Ho hum

Like Ms. Leighs story lines in her books but why does she have to write 2/3 sex & 1/3 story? And why does she have r
To be so vulgar. The sex scenes r so long cause she writes the same thing over &over & over that by the time you get to the end u forgot what u read b4 the sex scene. And thde f...word is used so often that u can wonder if their vocabulary is deficient. Or the writer's.

Oh dear I was so looking forward to this book. I am a massive Lo

Oh dear I was so looking forward to this book. I am a massive Lora Leigh fan and have read the first 3 books. But This one just went out on a limb to far, and pushed reader suspension of disbelief too far.
You need to have read all three books to get even the first few chapters of this one but it just kept throwing new twists and turns that just had me shouting at my Kobo "oh come on" more then once.
In the end I gave up as I ended up just not giving a damn and not finishing it. Now I know that Lora Leigh can carry a series beyond 4 books as she has other series the are in double figures but this one ran out of steam or just got to complicated to be precise. I will be hoping for better things for her next book.
