After being chained to a star to burn endlessly as punishment for stealing immortality from the gods, Jaykun has been unshackled to wage war alongside his brothers. But his freedom comes with a price: each night Jaykun must still suffer-his body burning from the inside out. One early morning, recovering from his torment, he encounters a beautiful stranger on the beach. Naked from her midnight-black hair to her sandy toes, she approaches him with starry-eyed innocence and the unmistakably full body of a woman. Soon Jaykun is swept up with the force of a comet, his desire for this woman hotter than any sun. His brothers fear he is blinded by her radiant beauty, and that she has been sent by their enemies to seduce and destroy him. Jileana is indeed from another world-one Jaykun cannot begin to imagine. But will their passion burn brightly enough to light the way through the darkness that threatens to consume all in its path?

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. chapterONEJaykun felt the sword puncture the hard leather of his armored vest, the power of its wielder outstanding. The sword went through his vest and entered his heart, cleaving it nearly in two. The shock of it drove him to his knees.His enemy leaned in with snarling laughter and spit in Jaykun’s face.Jaykun lost his temper.He surged back up to his feet, startling the man looming over him. He reached for the abandoned hilt of the sword driven into his chest, and with a mighty heave, he yanked it out of his body. He knew he had only minutes before the trauma caught up to him, so he used those minutes wisely.Finding himself armed with a sword in each hand, he hurled himself at his enemy, who was now weaponless. With an ear-splitting battle cry, he plunged both swords under his enemy’s armor—one through the man’s neck, the other under his arm and, reciprocating the honor, through his heart.When this man fell, he did not get up again.Jaykun’s enemy was facedown in the mud and blood only seconds later, having drawn his last breath in this world.Jaykun threw down the inferior sword the man had used in an attempt to slay him and turned to look back toward the encampment. He began to walk toward it, the seconds ticking by with every pump of his damaged heart. He staggered, but he forced himself to remain on his feet. If he went down into the mud, he would be left there for hours, until the battle was over and one or both of his brothers came to retrieve his body.Instead he walked off the battlefield, managing somehow to avoid engaging another enemy combatant. He stumbled up the embankment—the high ground from where they had launched their offensive—and lurched toward the command tent. He reached it by sheer force of will, but only just. He stumbled inside, startling his elder brother Dethan, who had been poring over a map of the field and its outlying areas—as well as the prize that lay beyond the battle: the city of Kriza.“Jaykun!” Dethan cried out, dropping what was in his hands and hurrying to catch Jaykun before his face hit the ground full force. Dethan eased him down to the ground. “Tonkin! Where is my brother Garreth?” he demanded of his page.“I will fetch him from the battlefield!”“Have a care. I don’t want you injured as well!” Dethan said. He rolled Jaykun onto his back and watched as he gasped for breath and grew pale and cold.But he would not die. Only a god-made weapon that took off his head, or the gods themselves, could kill him. It had been an ordinary weapon that had pierced Jaykun’s chest; that much was obvious. But it had hurt just the same and would continue to do so until Jaykun began to heal.“It was four on one. I had them all . . . then a fifth came out of nowhere and plunged the bloody thing in!” Jaykun panted.“I will get the mem presently,” Dethan said, looking around for a priestess within sight of the tent, who could use her healing gift and hasten Jaykun’s healing processes. It would help alleviate the pain more quickly.But oddly enough, Jaykun wasn’t feeling any pain. Just cold. A bone-deep chill that had him shaking.“You would be better served to have Tonkin fetch a mem rather than Garreth,” Jaykun wheezed.“I was not thinking,” Dethan confessed. “I will find one at once.”“No.” Jaykun reached up and grabbed his brother by the armored brace on his forearm. The armor was god made, just as Dethan’s sword was—the sword that presently was clutched in Jaykun’s hand. He wanted to make himself release it. To force himself to relax. But he couldn’t seem to accomplish it. He was going numb slowly, which he supposed was better than dealing with pain. “I will be fine.”“Eventually,” Dethan bit out. “But that will take time and I will not have you suffer in the interim. Next time you are wearing my armor as well as taking my sword!”“No. I will not have you unprotected. Besides, you know I do not like to wear full armor. It slows me down.”“By the gods, you are a stubborn man,” Dethan hissed at him. “Will you not let anyone help you?”Jaykun didn’t reply to that. He loved his brothers, but he would not depend on them for anything. It was not that he didn’t trust them, but he would not burden them with the trials of his life. They were his to bear and no one else’s.“You! Mem! Come and help my brother!” Dethan called out suddenly to a mem passing by the opening of the tent. She was very young and fair-haired, and since she was a priestess of Weysa, the goddess of conflict and war, she wore armor. It was hardened leather like Jaykun’s was, meant to help protect but light enough to move in. Of course leather armor had its flaws, as was exhibited by Jaykun’s present condition, but overall it did its job.The young mem knelt beside Jaykun, her eyes widening when she saw the evidence of where the sword had entered. “Take off his armor,” she instructed Dethan as she drew a satchel from around her neck. She set it on the ground and rummaged inside it as Dethan quickly worked the straps of Jaykun’s armor. He pulled the vest away, making Jaykun grit his teeth from a fresh wash of pain, which reminded Jaykun he was indeed injured. Fresh blood pumped freely from the wound Dethan had exposed. The mem’s eyes widened again.It was not common knowledge that Jaykun was an immortal warrior. There were whispers and speculation, some soldiers having taken note of how quickly he healed from injury. Too quickly, even with the help of a mem. But no one knew for certain because the brothers had not wanted to spook their soldiers with talk of them being cursed.Now it was possible they would have little choice but to address the matter. Or they could swear the mem to silence. Most of the men and mems were more than a little intimidated by the strong and relentlessly war-hungry brothers. Still, the mem was a full witness to Jaykun being alive while wounded in a way that would have killed any other man. Depending on the nature of the mem’s personality, she was likely to tell someone eventually. People talked. They simply could not help themselves. It was just in their nature.The mem put together a poultice and spread it over his open wound. Then she laid hands on him, closed her eyes, and began to recite her healing prayers.About ten minutes into this healing process their youngest brother, Garreth, arrived at the tent. “What happened?” he asked breathlessly.Garreth was covered in blood, the red of it staining his god-made armor. There was an enameled picture of the wey flower, the flower of the goddess Weysa, in the center of his breastplate and it was smeared with the congealed fluid.Garreth was the shortest of the brothers, but he was still quite tall and not more than a hand shy of Dethan, who was by far the tallest of the three. He also had a leaner, more athletic build in comparison to his bigger brothers.All the brothers were green eyed, although each pair was shaded a bit differently. Each brother also had curly hair, but Dethan’s was a chestnut-brown, Garreth’s was as black as night, and Jaykun’s was a deep golden blond. Dethan was wearing his hair long these days, twisted into two thin braids at his temples with a single long braid down his back. Each braid was tipped with a flame-red feather, a gift from his fire mage wife, so that he might have something to remind him of her. Garreth’s hair was shorter and unadorned, curling just around his ears and the nape of his neck. Jaykun’s blond locks were of a similar length.Garreth knelt beside his brother and seemed to check his color.Jaykun swatted him away. “Stop fussing over me as though I were an old woman who has fallen over her own feet. I will be fine given time. Tell me, is the battle won?”“We fare very well,” Garreth told him.“Get back out there and see it through to the end. I want this city.”Garreth hesitated, not wanting to leave his brother. Oh, he knew Jaykun could not die any more than he could, but he also knew just how painful these injuries could be, immortal or no.“Do it!” Jaykun barked.Garreth rose to his feet. “Let’s get him into a bed. Give him a cup of wine. Maybe it will improve his disposition.”He helped Dethan lift their brother from the ground and they carried him over to one of the cots in the command tent. There were three beds in the tent, one for each brother—though they saw very little use when the army was in the thick of a battle. The men laid Jaykun out on the bed, and the mem returned to his side and began to pray again. Garreth fetched Jaykun a cup of wine, handed it to him, then moved to the open flap of the tent before Jaykun could lecture him to return to the battle once more.After their youngest sibling had gone, Jaykun looked to his elder brother. “What is our progress?”“That is not of your concern. You will focus on healing. Dusk comes soon and I—”“Do not talk of it!” Jaykun snapped sharply. He wanted to push the mem and his brother away, but he was too weak. He hated this. Hated being weak and incapacitated and at the mercy of whoever wanted to force conversation on him. But his brother should know better than to speak of dusk when others not in their circle were present.“I was not going to say anything. What do you take me for?” Dethan snapped back. “Drink your wine. Garreth is right; you need to improve your disposition.”Dethan pushed away from his brother and went back to the maps. On the maps were small figures of wood meant to represent troop locations, so he could follow where they had progressed and where they had fallen back. Kriza was a coastal city with a strong armada in its docks. An armada they wanted control of very badly. Fortunately for the brothers, an armada did a city no good on the land, and thus Kriza, for all its tremendous size and population, did not have a well-organized standing army. The men of Kriza were used to working ships in defense of their city. They were used to raids and battles that took place amongst the riggings of a vessel. But fighting in the rocky terrain that surrounded their home was another story.Jaykun’s army was a vast one. It was a compilation of warriors from many different cities—cities that the brothers had defeated and claimed as their own over the full turnings. Normally Dethan would not be in battle with them. Instead he would be making the rounds of the cities they had previously secured, making certain that the trusted men they had left behind to rule them were still securely in place and were supported if any type of discontent grew.

I just didn't enjoy it By Shauni Originally Reviewed For: Tea and BookBound by Sin is book three in the Immortal Brothers Series, I absolutely LOVED book 1, I had character issues with book 2 and book 3? Well,Jacquelyn Frank is an exceptional author, but let's face it she has been known to get lost in the stories sometimes. And Bound by Sin was a series of what ifs and maybes. I read a review earlier comparing this to The Little Mermaid, in the worst possible way, and sadly, I saw the reviewer's point.Jaykun is the third brother to have his story told, obviously since this is book three, sheesh, Anyway, Four brothers who believed they deserved to be Immortal, were found and punished by the gods. Jaykum was bound to a star for eternity or until the gods deemed otherwise. When his brothers were offered a chance to redeem themselves if they conquered and converted people to the "good" gods, they needed yet another brother. So Jaykum gets his chance. Of course there's a catch. He still has to accept his punishment. So every night he is forced to burn... but during the day he battles his enemies.Jileana wanted to learn more about the world, well the world above the water so she made a deal that basically gave her three weeks to check it out. During those three weeks she is supposed to observe NOT participate but she watches Jaykun burn and is intrigued. Naked and alone she approaches him and they form a friendship, then a relationship. But Jileana has her duties as well and return home she must.I just didn't connect with them as individuals, let alone as a couple. At times I was just plain bored and others, well I really enjoyed it. It's hard not to wonder at the creativity of an author when she creates an entire world underwater, with it's hierarchies and battles. There were things going on under the sea that I wanted to learn more about. I cared more about them than Jaykun and Jileana.We didn't interact a lot with the brothers but Garret, whom I adored in Cursed by Fire has just gotten worse. He spent most of his time whining about wanting to go home to his wife and family. Pointing out that he's the only brother who is no longer immortal so he should be able to spend more time with his family... gah.. someone shoot him, seriously..So, In my most honest opinion, this one was a bust.ShauniThis review is based on the ARC of Bound by Sin, provided by netgalley

It is part of the Immortal Brothers series but can be read as a standalone. You won’t be lost as you read because she does an excellent job of providing information to the reader. I enjoyed Jaykun and Jileana’s relationship. Jaykun has to burn every night as a punishment because of a wrong doing against the gods. During the day he has to campaign to spread the word of his goddess Weysa, while on a campaign against the city Kriza, he meets Jileana. He is at the cove where he decided to ‘burn’ for the night when he realizes that he is being watched. When he can see again, he finds himself being watched by Jileana. She is openly curious about the beauty of the man who burns like a star, that is until she realizes the pain he is in every time he must burn. As Jaykun and Jileana become closer, he finds out that she is not what she appears, but rather is a selkie. She lives on an island that is protected by storms so no one that is not invited can get on it. She invites Jaykun to the island and he accepts it in a diplomatic form, this way he can talk about the goddess Weysa while he is there. He becomes friends with the empress and helps her settle the problems that have been plaguing the selkies. While this book was good and the storyline was quite enjoyable, I found some areas to be rushed, while others seemed to drag. The interaction though between Jaykun and Jileana was very believable. The way the story was written made it seem like they had a lot of time to get to know each other, which is something I appreciated. While I enjoy the ‘insta’ love trope, sometimes it’s good to read about a pair that takes some time to really get to know each other.

Interesting series from a popular paranormal romance author By Ruckasaurus Rex "How funny humans are, that love is a sin." - Bound by Sin**advance reader copy received through NetGalley**Bound by Sin is the third book in Frank’s Immortal Brothers series, a series based on four brothers who stole immortality from the gods and are forced to take on immortal punishment as penance. This book focuses on the story of Jaykun, whose punishment was being chained to a star and burning eternally. Released to wage war and accrue followers for a goddess, Jaykun must continue to pay for his transgression each night. Suddenly a beautiful woman appears to lure Jaykun from his brothers and duties, but is she a threat or the promise of salvation? Jileana is definitely something special, and despite her blinding innocence she manages to prove herself several times over. In his worry over sucking her into his world of death and pain, Jaykun is sucked into Jileana’s strange life instead. Will Jaykun anger the goddess he serves and be condemned once more? Will Jileana manage to free herself from a life of abuse and torment? Once the dust clears, will the lovers find themselves serving opposing gods, or worse…will they pay with their lives?"Rewards?" He scoffed. He couldn't help himself. "Love brings no rewards. It is an illusory thing poets and bards made up to lure coin from a listener's pocket." - Bound by SinI think that fans of Jacquelyn Frank will enjoy the series, and as I jumped into the series with book three I can say it stands alone just fine. I really enjoy the writing style of this author, especially her Nightwalkers series. With integration of a pantheon of gods and goddesses, you might see similarities to other paranormal series available, but the author ensures her worldbuilding is quite unique. While I enjoyed the character of the male lead, I found his tendency to anger quickly with his brothers and yet allow certain insults in other areas a little off. I can tolerate some level of innocence in a female lead, but I found Jileana to be a little bit too innocent and a soft target for aggression. The story focuses on the couple initially, and then seems to disperse once the scene changes, focusing on a single character or interactions with characters other than the love interest. I will certainly be looking into the final book in this series to see how things wrap up with the last brother.
