Richer than Sin by Meghan March is the first book in the Sin trilogy. This series introduces Lincoln Riscoff and Whitney Gable. Lincoln is the heir to the Riscoff family fortune and Whitney would be considered the girl from the wrong side of the tracks. The Gables and the Riscoffs’, who are the richest and most influential family in the town of Gable, are engaged in an epic feud with no end in sight. Therefore, the likelihood of a relationship occurring between Lincoln and Whitney would be a one in a million occurrence. However, not even a 170-year-old feud has any control when fate has its way.
When Lincoln and Whitney’s paths first crossed ten years ago, they were not aware of each other’s identity, but this did not prevent them from experiencing a night of intense passion. However, the revelation of their identities added to the complexity of their subsequent encounters. A lot has happened since then, but the one thing that has not changed is how they felt about each other.
I will not go into much detail about this book, as this is a story you need to experience for yourself. It is spellbinding, gritty, sexy, suspenseful and all around entertaining. It never gave me a moment to breathe, as I had to know what would happen next. This is one of those stories that would lead to loss of sleep and if you are not careful absenteeism from work. Drama, secrets and shocking moments had me on edge until the end.
The story, which is told in alternate POVs, and moves between the past and the present, depicts the class prejudices prevalent in small towns, especially those owned by an affluent family. The fact that Whitney and Lincoln were from different classes and their families were locked into a feud, their relationship was considered taboo. Love, however sees beyond class and feuds and you cannot help whom you fall in love with as Whitney and Lincoln will discover. In addition to the romance, jealousy within the family and battle over whom should inherit the family fortune were the mainstay of the story.
The characters helped to make this an engaging read. There were characters you could not help but love, and then there were those you wish would disappear.
Conclusion/Recommendation
Richer than Sin is a great start to the Sin series. If you familiar with the author’s work then you know, you need to read this book. If this is your first time, then you will be in for a treat. A note of warning, this installment ends in the most dramatic fashion leaving me with a lot more questions than I expected. Therefore, if you are not a fan of cliffhanger endings wait for all the remaining two books to be released, which will be on September 18 and October 23, 2018. However, if you do not mind this type of ending, then I highly recommend you get a copy of Richer than Sin, you will not regret it.
Guilty until proven innocent.
That’s the way the world works, right?
I’m tired of being convicted without evidence, all because my last name is Gable.
The Riscoffs might own this town, but I’m done following their rules.
If only I could forget just how easily Lincoln Riscoff can drag me under his spell.

Whitney Gable is the kind of woman you fight to the death to protect.
To keep.
To cherish.
I’ve finally learned my lesson, and it’s time to prove I’m the man who’s worthy of her.
I don’t care what it takes, because failure is not an option.
No matter who or what stands in our way—this time, she’ll be mine forever.
