5 #CinIndyForever Stars
This book is not a standalone. You must read Secret Sins before Sacred Sins. This review though, will be spoiler free.

Margie Drazen is the oldest of seven. She’s passionate, she’s loyal, she’s smart, she’s confident, she’s her family’s fixer and she has a secret. Her inner turmoil and constant guilt are what drives her to be the fixer. She has loved and she has lost. She’s complex and has many layers. I understand her plight and her stoic nature because how could you not. Her inner conflicts, her inner wants and desires are all at odds with her reality and she must muddle through the brackish water in order to stay afloat.

Indiana Andrew McCaffrey, aka Indy and Drew, is the man who hold all the cards and holds Margie’s heart as well. He knows Margie’s secret and is her champion, but he can’t take Margie out of her family. He knows the lengths Margie’s father, Declan, would go to in order to manipulate any situation to go his way. And as in life, sometimes timing doesn’t work in your favor and much needed living and maturity are what brings clarity to view.

The Drazen Family is not for the faint of heart. The sins of the father have ripple effects on all his children. They are all off the charts but the siblings have an abiding love for one another no matter what. When this author writes about the Drazen Family, there is cadence of passion, intense feelings, dastardly deeds and poetic and lyrical words that touch the essence of love and desire. The brilliance of the author to weave simultaneous stories sings of the dedication and magical mind that CD Reiss possesses.

I can’t say enough how much I loved Margie’s story and of the ending of her story. Margie’s story will grab your heart and hold it hostage. I held my breath a time or two but the pure euphoria of the epilogue was total perfection. Bravo to CD on being true to Margie. You made me smile, cry, hold my breath and love beyond reason. You made me want to go back and reread Jonathan, Fiona and Theresa’s stories. I look forward to Carrie and Leanna’s stories where once again you will transport us into Drazen Land.

A Definite Favorite of 2018❤️❤️

It's Margie's time to shine! Amazing book!

She has held that family together through thick and thin. She has kept and fixed all the secrets and dalliances for them. This family would not have survived without Margie trying to keep it safe and together despite all the damage her father has done through the years.

All this at the sacrifice of her own happiness. There were two men she loved. One she lost and the other one could not stay and survive her family. Now her past has come back to face her. ...more

I have to say that Christine Reiss is a mastermind author. She will bury you so deep into the story that you won’t even know what reality is.
You don’t have to have read any if the other books by her except for one. Secret Sins. The first book. You’ll be lost. I did a reread right before I got this one from the author and I’m glad I did. I had read it too long ago to remember the specifics.
With that said I was in awe in how this story turned out. I was not expecting huge change arounds.
